Get a price when the website says "contact sales"
Short answer: Tell your agent the vendor, what you need and your size. CallForMe calls the sales line and asks for the price or a ballpark, the minimum commitment, contract length, setup fees and what's included. It never signs up or agrees to anything, and it turns down a demo unless you asked for one. $1 per answered call.

On your phone? Email yourself the setup steps
Many vendors don't put prices on the website. "Contact sales" usually means a form, an email back, then a demo call before anyone names a number. When all you need is to know whether it's in budget, a phone call to the sales line is faster, and it's a call your agent can make.
What to ask
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| The price, or a range for your size | The thing you came for |
| Minimum seats, volume or term | Small teams often fall under the minimum |
| Monthly vs yearly, and any discount for yearly | Changes the number by a lot |
| Setup, onboarding or activation fees | Often not in the per-seat price |
| What's included at that price, and the most common add-on | So two quotes compare like for like |
| How long a quote is good for | So you know when to decide |
What to give your agent
- The vendor and the product or plan you're curious about.
- Your size: seats, locations, volume per month.
- What you're happy to share: your company name, an email for the follow-up. Put it in
detailsorif_asked, or the rep's request becomes a mid-call question. - Whether to accept a demo. Most people say no for now, and the assistant declines politely.
What your agent does
- find_business for the vendor's sales number, or use the one on the website.
- place_call with the questions:

Tips
- Ask for a range if they won't quote. "What do companies with about 10 people usually pay?" gets a number more often than "what's the price?"
- Ask what the price leaves out. Setup fees, required add-ons and taxes are where quotes differ.
- Get the rep's name and a direct line. If you go ahead, the next call starts with a person.
- Compare two or three. The same questions to each vendor make the answers line up.
What it costs
$1 per answered call, including the first 2 minutes, then $0.40 a minute. A line nobody answers costs nothing.

Questions
Will a sales rep give a price over the phone?
Often a ballpark, sometimes an exact number. Reps who won't quote usually still answer the questions that decide it: the minimum seats or volume, whether there's a setup fee, and monthly versus yearly terms. Ask for a range ("what do companies my size usually pay?") rather than a final quote.
Will it book a demo or sign me up?
No. The assistant asks and records the answers. If the rep offers a demo or a trial, it says not right now, unless your request says to book one. It never agrees to a contract or gives payment details.
What if they want my email or company name first?
Put what you're happy to share in details or if_asked: your company name, how many people, an email for the follow-up. Anything left out becomes a question to your agent mid-call, and the rep waits about 45 seconds for the answer.
Can I get on the line myself?
Yes. Pass your number as transfer_to and say in the goal to connect you once a rep answers. The assistant works the phone menu and the hold, then patches you in.
What does it cost?
$1 per answered call, including the first 2 minutes, then $0.40 a minute. Sales lines are usually answered fast; a 4-minute call is $1.80. Nothing is charged if nobody answers.
