> Wouldn't you like to know the absolute crap that comes through those forms

Usually it's because too much is hidden.

Not a SAS, but I once tapped an ad for redoing my shower. No prices, no way to know even approximately what it should cost.

I wanted more information, but I didn't want a phone call. I filled out the form asking for some high-level information on pricing, and that I didn't want a phone call.

Needless to say, the rep never responded to my inquiry.

But, put yourself in my situation: I don't want calls at random times of the day that are convenient to a salesman. I want to talk on the phone at a time that's convenient to ME, and only if I know the (ballpark) range of what you're selling costs. If a new shower costs $5k, and I won't be in a position to spend that for 18 months, I want to know that I should pick up the phone then, not now.
