A cautionary tale about vendor professionalism:
Today I had a scheduled demo with CallHippo for business phone systems. I provided detailed requirements upfront: 2-user setup, customer support features, auto IVRS, international calling capabilities.
At the exact meeting time, I received a cancellation stating my "domain doesn't align with their ideal customer profile."
Here's the issue: Professional companies qualify leads BEFORE confirming meetings, not at the scheduled start time.
This experience reminded me of an important principle: How a company treats you during the sales process is the BEST version of their service you'll ever see. It only gets worse from there.
For fellow business owners evaluating phone systems: There are many excellent alternatives that respect your time - RingCentral, Nextiva, Vonage, 8x8, and others.
Professionalism matters. Time matters. Choose vendors accordingly.
