I'm with Maslins on this one, although there is nothing illegal about this type of marketing (which can be quite successful if done correctly) I don't think it is the right way to target potential clients but Craig/Gorilla seem to think it will work for them so each to their own.
As an aside Craig, I assume Gorilla aren't regulated by either ACCA or ICAEW? Otherwise you could be in a little bit of hot water with either of them, if what I believe the content of your marketing letters to be (based on comments on here) is correct...Comment

As I said above though, this kind of thread does make it easier to add firms to my black list as required. So the spam does serve a very useful purpose actually now I think about it.
"A professional accountant in public practice should not bring the profession into disrepute when marketing professional services. The professional accountant in public practice should be honest and truthful and should not:
• Make exaggerated claims for services offered, qualifications possessed or experience gained; or
• Make disparaging references to unsubstantiated comparisons to the work of another."P.S. What Spreadsheet? Revolutionising the contracting market again.Comment
