Jon are you serious about moving forward with a [marketing service I inquired about]? Are you wasting our time or did you have a serious need that we can help with.
Woah [redacted sales guy], hold on a second with the "wasting our time" bit. I thought when I filled out the get-a-quote form that I identified some of the things I was looking for. I appreciate the clarity of purpose and firm resolve you demonstrate on your follow through, but maybe this is a little stronger worded than you need it to be for a potential customer.
That said, I operate a small B2B business for other small businesses. I am scoping on behalf of my own clients who are a [business type]. And I want to know the following four items:
- [four questions about their marketing services, delivery, cost and reporting methods]
That'll do it. Now is that serious enough or should I give my clients the quotes I have from your competitors plus my margin?
Regards,
Jon Olsen

Excellent, classy response; I thinl it'll be much more effective than something flippant.
