I was always on the front lines of dealing with software vendors and I was just fine setting up a call. Now if the website wouldn't give me so much as basic info and pricing, denied.

Related, one night I spend an hour researching bulk sandbag prices. Found ONE site that displayed my cost, no "call for pricing".

Yeah I think sales people are so trained into being sales people that they dont actually know how to talk like a human being anymore.

Seriously, there is something about those guys. They just cant talk normally. Not everyone. I have met some of them that just talk normally. and are aware of their products pros and cons in relation to what you need. Those are useful.

On the other hands, nerds can have their own little annoying habits too. Sometimes they have no social skills at all and act like machines.
