Presumably you know the people beforehand whom you're visiting unannounced. That is rather different than imposing yourself on a complete stranger, for the explicit purpose of pitching your business. Calling it a "break in" is unreasonable, but it is still a strong turnoff to me: it just smacks of desperation, and of focusing on the wrong things. An entrepreneur should be focused on building a great product that people want to use; then have TC or whoever else will cover you because you've got something valuable to show.
