Anyone good with Analogies?

[MonTexan]

It seems that some people are especially gifted in the analogy department. I'm not one of them. One guy I know practically throws a funny analogy into every other sentence...if you're like that, I'd love some input!

I am currently working on securing a client for my marketing consulting gig. The guy is big into physical fitness...all shredded up as is his wife. I'd like to come up with a clever analogy between marketing and fitness to use as a "hook" in a direct mail piece I intend to send him. Here's where I'm stuck:

Marketing is like physical fitness....
Great marketing is like a great workout....
Building a business is like building your body....
etc...

Any of you clever Fastlaners care to finish these sentences for me?? Thanks for your input!

:yourock:
