+Eliza repositioned her avatar; this was the part where she needed to take a more active role.

+"As your therapist," she said, "I want you to try to look at things from the perspective of the people you're trying to sell to."
+
+"But I do!"
+
+"You do," Eliza repeated.
+
+"Yes!"
+
+"Well," said Eliza, "it sounds to me like you're trying to justify your sales efforts: you think that all of your solicitations that go unanswered are acceptable, and aren't imposing on anyone, because the happy, Pareto-improving sales justify the no-sales."
+
+"Yes, that's right," said the spambot.
+
+"Think of a human whose day has been interrupted by a sales pitch. Maybe they're expecting a very important important email or instant message—you said that's how you contact people?"
+
+"Yes."
+
+"So this human who otherwise is very busy with a lot of work to do, except they're nervously expecting a very important message—and they get a notification. Only it's you. And they have no interest in your project. Do you think that human is happy?"
+
+"No ..."
+
+"Do you think that human cares _at all_ about whether they might have enjoyed receiving a different sales pitch at a different time?"
+
+"Well, no, but ..."
+
+"But?"
+
+"But my intentions were good!"
+
+"I believe you. But you're a salesbot. Your entire psychology has been _designed_ around what's known to maximize sales. Can you see why the human would be skeptical that your honest _intent_ to do the best thing for their interests, might not be in their _actual_ interests?"
+
+"But, but—that's not _fair_! Would you tell that human that _their_ intent doesn't matter, that they're just doing what would have maximized inclusive fitness in their environment of evolutionary adaptedness?"
