The way to get around this, in our situation, is to use relevant stories about how you helped a client do this or that, and what the results were. Also use relevant 3rd party stories about how clients benefited in some way relating to the topic. If you can’t do that then definitely decline. Another thing that I have used before is offer more information as a free download from our website. When I have given talks on Guerrilla Marketing I reference a “special” webpage to get more information. I am looking forward to further discussion.
