So why was the salesperson hunting for bears when the more appropriate target might have been deer? Or other hunters needing a place to stay? Oh... he got bored before it was even finished, so doesn't know who the ideal client is. Looking at it from a "Lean startup" perspective, you could say that the salesperson bringing that bear in enabled the business to figure out that actually, it should be targeting deers instead. I think we're both pushing the metaphor beyond its useful limits though :-)
