We're basically marketing to a high-level audience (CEOs, senior executives) who, in most cases, have neither the time, interest or comfort-level to talk about a technical solution.
(We can't market to the IT people - in-house or offsite consultants - because they see us as a serious threat to their egos and jobs, and do everything to sabotage our efforts.)
Clients love us. But even THEIR referrals to this point have been "hard-sells" as well.
