Experienced some real reluctance against new business today:
Me: Hi, I’m considering starting up a webshop and would like to know what prices you are offering to businesses. I know it’s possible to calculate prices on your website, but that’s only for private persons. I would like to know more about your volume pricing, to see if my business model is economically feasible.
UPS: Yes no problem – just give me your organization number and I’ll have one of our sales reps contact you.
Me: But I don’t have an organization number as I don’t know if my business model is feasible. By giving me information about your volume pricing I will probably know more about this.
UPS: You can’t speak to a sales rep before you have an organization number. That’s impossible
Me: …..
Crazy…
