Understated rant: An amusing observation re: Offline Gold, etc...
I find it amusing how the Offline Gold crowd (sorry Andrew, you coined the phrase and it caught on -- I use it only in a generic way, not specifically your program) eventually (or immediately) "DISCOVER" that the 'catch' method is pretty much USELESS (for them), and that they must get THEIR OWN clients via the THROW method, not the CATCH method (marketER contacts marketEE, not marketEE contacts marketER).
Then, they show up at their (potential) client's door to show them how they should use the 'catch' method (web, seo, etc.). The irony being, of course, that the 'catch' method did NOT work for the adviser (the web expert (you?) "got" the client using the THROW method), yet they are advocating the catch method.
It's a convoluted case of do as I say, not as I do.
I guess one only keeps one's fingers crossed that the client will not think to ask himself, "but wait a minute... how did this adviser find ME (in the first place)?!?"
I'm also pretty sure the adviser/marketer is blind to the irony due to forest for the trees syndrome. But, watching from the sidelines, I find it amusing.
For the adviser, the catch method is not nearly as effective as the throw method for the EXACT SAME reasons as that is true for the client being 'advised!!!'

PS: The initial spark that leads to the vast majority of transactions emanates from the marketER, not the marketEE.
