This essay is a blunt memo to anyone selling seven-, eight-, or nine-figure products. Through a “giraffe in the cage” parable and a Netflix analogy, it shows how digital platforms manufacture activity while starving results. The cure isn’t bigger reach—it’s precision, reputation within UHNWI circles, and fewer intermediaries. Client acquisition equals an industry constant times a luck coefficient; you control the latter by multiplying direct connections and sustaining consistent outreach. Stop paying for noise. Shorten the path. Sell to those who can buy now.
