or they want you both to commit right away 
shady, pushy sales tactic[/quote]

Yup.  Pushy sales tactic.  Likely they are the types that will give you a "steep" discount that you need to sign at the estimate meeting or it goes away.

I tell people right up front that I do not make on the spot commitments and that I do not respond well to pushy sales tactics.  If they are going to use any of those tactics, they might as well just skip coming out to do an estimate and I'll look for other vendors for my work.  I also had a window guy come.  Literally within the first 2 minutes he was there, I told him, no pushy sales tactics and that I don't make on the spot commitments.  He got through and when talking about pricing, he said that he could make a discount if we signed tonight.   I reminded him that I had explicitly stated up front that I did not want pushy sales tactics and that I didn't make on the spot commitments, so I told him he just lost the sale and I asked him to leave.[/quote]
