diddleman, that's called a sales lead. In any business there is effort expended on potential customers that may not result in a sale. The providers who recognize and capitalize on that are the more successful ones here.
Even if a sale does not take place, the PM generates good will that can result in recommendations and referrals. It's all good.

Compliments are always nice and non problematic to me.
