This has the feel of the times I've heard a customer tell me they are going with the cheaper alternative; listened to the plan offered by the cheaper competitor; and suggested that the customer call me when the project fails.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to tell that to a customer in such a way that they don't have to overcome insurmountable embarrassment to hire me later.
