I mean it's awesome software and I have it at work, but I'm not gonna buy it out of my own pocket

Ah. Would you have a need for it at home if were not so expensive?

Absolutely.  It automates a ton of stuff that I have to do manually on side projects at home

Ask if you can get a non-professional version for a lot cheaper.

That's basically what they are already doing.  We pay full price for it at work. 

They have a couple of free tools but nothing as useful as the outrageously expensive ones(obviously).

I really want to know what problems you are solving at home by coding.

You should reply and tell her that your budget is (10% of price) and tell her that you expect her reply telling you she can get you that price soon.

I would probably buy it for 10% of the price, a couple hundred is better than a couple thousand

Hi TBT,

This is just a quick reminder that we’re currently running a campaign where we offer 50% discount on all our products, individual and bundles. This campaign will run until August 31stand I’ll keep following up until I make sure you received this information.

Although campaign will last till the end of August, I can lock the prices until the end of September by sending you a non-obligatory quote. You should just confirm your interest by responding to this email ;)

Hope to hear back from you soon,
Kiki

Saying that she would keep following up until I respond and I should just confirm my interest?  Yeah that's a little pushy.  I mean if this thing was $50 I could see it

If it was fifty dollars she wouldn't be wasting time with you.  I'm sure it you told her you didn't have the budget or something she'd probably leave you alone.

Hi Mrs. Gooch,

Are there still plans to increase capabilities with {software that I asked for a quote on months ago} this year? I have to update my boss on the latest with {company}.


Also, I thought you might be interesting in attending this webinar we’re hosting:
{Blah, Blah, Boring Boring}

All the best,

Annoying Sales Guy


Does he really think I care that he needs to update his boss?
