Selling ColdFusion to Clients

Topic:
What strategies do you use for selling the ColdFusion platform to clients? Particularly when there are multiple possible platforms in the running. This is a topic that is often discussed on the various CF lists. I will compare various platforms and discuss where CF "sits". We will look at how RAD (Rapid Application Development) helps and hinders. Combating the "PHP is Free" or "ASP is Free" argument. How can Java developers look at ColdFusion in a positive light? Different ways to talk about ColdFusion depending on your audience.
