Why could you not provide the license free or at reduced price and pad the cost into other invoice items? When I buy stuff on the web, I am a sucker for free shipping - knowing that it's not really free.
If a client balks at buying a server license, why not sell them a dedicated hosting plan with CF support so that the cost is spread out over months? You have to take advantage of the fact that most people can't do basic math. When I visit a car dealership, the salesman might *like* to sell me a Shelby Mustang, but if I only have $15,000 to spend he will not let me leave the car lot without trying to sell me a used Ford Focus. The point I'm getting to is that this has nothing to do with Adobe's pricing, and it has everything to do with salesmanship. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Harrison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 2:44 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Adobe Nails ColdFusion Cofin I just want to get Adobe to drop the price. It's a hard sell to some clients and we've lost some opportunities because of it. I'll always continue to use CF as my mainstay, but also learning .net is not a bad thing... And whenever we have lost a site it's always been to .net technology. For what it's worth I've always been, and still am a CF advocate. But the reality is it's a business market and it's doesn't hurt to have alternative options to give your clients. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:285042 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
