When anyone trying to sell me anything in any way uses my name, it throws up 4 or 5 extra layers of defense. At that point I know you're trying to manipulate me, and you've just made your job infinitely harder. Having said that, I've tried the trick myself on others and they seem to respond very differently from the way that I do. So I guess the point is to be very careful of this approach. It might help a little with some people, but it might be a gigantic turnoff to others.
