We have chosen not to purchase things or services after receiving an email, chat, or phone call. In other words, we do not act this way. When we want to buy something, we choose who to work with, typically contact several opportunities, and then compare the options, the offer, and the prices. We do not act based on an email, a chat, or a phone call we receive. This rule is never deviated from.
