Peter Vander Wall uses a dating analogy to argue that sales should be a gradual relationship-building process rather than an immediate hard sell. He emphasizes starting small ("ask them out for coffee"), progressively deepening engagement, and warns that many marketers rush the funnel—running ads or offering lead magnets but failing to follow up and nurture leads.

The example is so overdone, but it really is like dating 100%. Like, you don't make a huge ask for the first date, right? You ask them out for coffee or you get ice cream, and then you're just continuing to ratchet up the relationship until finally you feel like you're in a place where, yes, this is the person I want to marry. I think she would say, yes, and you live happily ever after. And that's. That's how that works.
I love it. But the example is way overdone. But it's also still no. Like, everybody refuses to recognize this because they try to run an ad or they try to post content, send people to a lead magnet, and then they just forget about it.
