There are companies who DO JUST THAT. For example, some companies know that in some cultures, it is difficult for a man to say "No" to a woman. So they hire pretty women as marketers and consultants for that area. I have seen this done in real life. Is it politically correct? Nope. But it does work sometimes.

>So you're telling me that it would be worth my while to take advantage of the fact that I live close to UCLA. I should spend an afternoon there to meet a Pamela Anderson type coed that I could hire to be my presentation person. Have her put on one of the fanciest presentations you ever saw in your life. Then I could charge a million instead of $5,000?????

>>They have polished presentations, they are multimillion dollar companies, and they deliver a perceived (if not actual) value. I don't want to dump on all huge consulting firms, some deliver polished products. I have worked with PW, AA, E*S, DT, AC, and CG and they all work the same.
