Free tool that could help sell mobile sites
If mobile sites are part of your offerings, bookmark this URL:
It uses the Analytics API to show the breakdown of mobile visitors for 2010 on any site that has Analytics installed. You can edit either the url or the form for other dates, if needed.
Just be aware that it's a two-edged sword. It will show if they need a mobile site, but it will also show if they have few mobile visitors.
Since you should never try to sell something that a client doesn't need, that should be OK.
Enjoy!
