Which do they fear most - the computer or (should they actually agree to a meeting) the hard sell? Would they be more likely to view a short video demonstration of your solution?

What kind of client are you talking about? Large multi-national or small home based mom and pop business?

Also what kind of relationship do you currently have? For example how long have you being pursuing them? How did you find them? How much do you know about them? Do they currently know anything about you?
