Wait ! (I have just re-read your post a few times...)
But... Isn't that exactly what you did, though???

I qualified why I did it and in this situation it was right.
This situation was purely to find out what this guy thought it could be shot for. I've had the same situation at shows where people wanted me to shoot something that wasn't just your normal ATK level of porn, Stuff that's churned out for a price. Well it used to be.
For instance, Perfect Gonzo or Party Hardcore. To shoot this type of porn costs money. PG around $1,000+ a scene, PH anything around $25,000 a scene. The person asking obviously wanted something to match what he had seen. An obvious question would be "What's your budget?"
He's set out his requirements, so I can ask his budget and cut the conversation short or take him to the lounge to sit down ans sell to him what we can do for him.
Damian is a cut and paste merchant. The art of marketing and selling isn't copying the basic guidelines. It's adapting them to the individual needs.
Damian's ideas are to take a picture of me with a gun to a dogs head and some text. My customers are repeat buyers, they only need to know what the offer is or the new content. Same as going to see an editor. He knew what we shot and all he needed to see was a few pics of the girl. No selling at all once he knew us and the same should be applied to emailing ex members. If you did a good job in the first place. All you need to do is remind him you're still around and have some new content for him.
