You can get this from most places now:
'Hi, I was just running through the troubleshooting steps with one of your colleagues and I got cut off. He said he was just going to put me on hold to [order new router|arrange engineer|whatever you think is needed after your own troubleshooting]'
This works for me 95% of the time.

I don't consider this particularly sleazy because you can usually get the discount anyway if you haggle, but it saves a lot of time.
- PJones 14y agoThis works even better if you know what the deals are ahead of time, either from searching online or by knowing someone that works there.
