How Not To Sell

Here is a clue for server providers – if, on the third time of being asked how much the secret fee is for opening a firewall port, you still use the words “usually” and “around” – guess what? I am going to run a mile.

I would have tolerated a firewall I didn’t want in my way, so long as I could have it disabled or ports opened – but not for a fee you’re not even prepared to reveal!? I’m not quite sure why I didn’t run away as soon as I found the secret fee buried in the small print on the web site, but you live and learn I suppose.
