Assuming that that wasn't tongue in cheek...
Their target audience is "people who want to launch something into orbit". They don't need a call to action, they already have a rather well-defined need.

That sort of shit is exactly what Musk has been complaining about every time he talks about how fucked-up the existing space delivery industry is.
Think of it this way: You don't negotiate the price of delivery for something you're gonna ship via FedEx over a dinner.
One of the goals of SpaceX is to make the space delivery industry as much like every other delivery industry as is humanly possible.
That's the point. Space-X's pricing has terrified the industry. Now the question is whether you get a discount on used boosters.
What Space-X doesn't give you is a firm launch date. Spaceflight Now listed today's launch as "Delayed from Aug. 13, Sept. 2, Jan. 3, Feb. 7, March 20 and March 29. [March 16]" This is Space-X's biggest problem. They're about a year behind on their launch manifest. They don't even put dates on future launches any more. Customers don't like this; some have switched to Arianespace or ULA or Russia for their satellite launches.
Space-X is trying to catch up. Next launch date is April 28th, and there are two launches a month scheduled for the next few months. First Falcon Heavy launch is scheduled for November, but that may slip.
