Fundimenal problems in marketing: Just ask anyone advertising building a new web system and trying to use an agency, they pretty much all laugh at you and tell you to build in .Net or PHP as ColdFusion is a waste of money.
evangelism is also failing at the hiring level... how about a free breakfast for agencies to 'educate' them on the pluses of CF? how about doing this every year? There's very few agencies that take CF seriously because they don't see that many cf jobs, and the ones they do see are convinced to push toward the languages of their larget contractor pool. It's catch 22... fewer developers ~ fewer contracts = fewer licences ~ seen as small fry by local office Dawesi.
