Hmm, probably not.

In my experience people who do that up front often like to find something to ***** about when it's time to pay and look for discounts.

FWIW, I find people with money do that more often than those without.

Yeah, the most memorable time this happened to me the guy said "Greg (the Chairman of the Board) said I should talk to you."

I put him on hold, called down to Greg's office and asked his assistant who the guy was. She said "no idea, cold call but it's relevant to your Dept so I gave him your name"

Hung up both calls.

He calls back, "I think we got disconnected"

Said no we did not, I hung up.

"Why did you do that?"

Don't like being lied to, terrible way to start a business relationship, then hung up again.
