The physics of money **do in fact** make it easier for a line engineer or tier 1 manager to authorize a

Neither wire transfers nor fax machines are particularly common requirements in the US. You presenting like this is not the first time you have ever sold software in your life is a pretty useful thing, though, if you're selling to a purchasing department.

I’ve suggested to several clients paying for a support contract / commercial license for software. They hand over the corp CC, no questions asked, for anything under $2.5-10k, depending on the size of the company. It’s such a small amount, it doesn’t matter.

$2.5k-10k is a totally reasonable and expected price for those companies. Worst case you spend a couple days in support, addressing an issue that’ll benefit all you clients. Best case you get $10k/yr for nothing. And best case is far more likely than worst case.
