It's awfully telling no one actually can prove if it works.

Hey, you are old and almost dead and don't care. You've retired, so you claim. So I get that YOU don't care if you can show and ROI. Heck, you probably don't even know what it stands for.

However, I have to justify my existance to clients. If the things I recommend do not increase their bottom line, what the fuck is the point of doing them?

Damian,

We are providing a service. We are not a revenue stream such as the advertising networks mentioned above. The person cutting my hair does not give me an ROI. I can cut it myself or have somebody else do it for me, however, I choose to leave in the hands of someone who will save me time and has been doing it as a profession.
