What's stopping you from contact them? Do you want to sell your product or service, or are you satisfied with standing on a shelf next to every other person whose badges they scanned? Do you want to stand out, or stand outside? I sell pre-paid legal service plans, kind of like insurance. But that alone doesn't help me make money. I have to go out and sell the product, actively, putting me and my product in the foreground, because customers will never come to me in the volume I need to make any substantial income. If I offered my badge for email scan, I would most certainly get contact information from that person and add them to my calling schedule. And you are correct that one must be absolutely committed to their product. If you don't love it you will never convince anyone else to love it.
