@Crookie - Actually. It will.

You push back against your rep, and they log it and report it in their meetings.

One of the major jobs of a customer service and sales rep is to document and report on current client trends and perceptions.

Push back. And continue to push back. Make it their problem so they pass the problem on.

They change their product and offerings all the time to get more money from clients. If clients are pushing back, threatening not to spend more money, they will alter their actions to get more money.

The bottom line is the bottom line for a reason.
