Attention vendors: you're not the only ones with a pitch.
I got an unsolicited mass email last week from a company that provides a 'service' to the Broadway community. I was a little bugged by the impersonal feel of the salesy-email so I banged back a quick reply: "Why yes, I am interested in your service, although I do have a current provider. Since you asked me about my interest in your product, might I ask you if you have ever considered investing in a Broadway show?"
