This is all great, but if you're building a company focused on earning money by doing sales (especially one that has you interacting with other tech companies), the amount of clients you can meet face to face in St. Louis (and the size of the deals) is not something I'd suspect to be competitive with what you'd find in SF.

This is where the rubber hits the road. Staff talent -- especially creative, tech, sales, marketing -- can be identified and managed as a distributed workforce. Most clients need face time. Most prospects need face time before they are clients. It's anachronistic, but mostly the way of the world. I'd love to hear differently.
