I realized after several iterations that it is sometimes just as hard to ram down a good idea down someone's throat and it's always worth a shot. But, of course there will always be exceptions. I personally do a proxy pitch. If I know the person I am pitching to is a potential investor/entrepreneur who could actually implement my once in a "blue moon" (haha) idea, then, I pitch a proxy idea to see how smart their response is. If I like the relationship with them, I indulge them with my real one.
