And yeah, vendors really get aggressive, especially if you're a well known company.
They throw all sorts of B.S. sales tactics at you even if you're not. I work for a small consulting & software development house in St. Louis, and when I actually look at my spam folder I see everything from the passive-aggressive ("Hey, is there someone else I should be talking to at your company? Clearly you're not responding to my pitch so now I expect you to do my research for me.") to the faux-pitiful ("I've tried so hard, Mr. Fisher, this is my seventeenth email this week (crying emoji) and I guess now I'm just going to give up on you and not make my sales goals, it's so sad, please just give me five minutes to sell you this overpriced list of leads we scraped from LinkedIn?"
I can't even say I admire the hustle, since it's all automated nowadays.
