There's less hours in the Sales month than potential buyers in your entire target market.
For this kind of example, you angle the distinction between TAM-SAM-SOM compared with circa 170 monthly working hours. Maybe you even reduce further to the week.
A neat aspect of the 'Science!' deepism though, is how it evokes contrast between the invisibly miniscule and super-massive.
Juxtaposing something as big against as small is a lovely device.
The sleight of term also adds juice to the mix.
Even if we can't conjure something so cunning, finding two elements inside our prospect's world and bringing them together in such a way could also introduce a useful surprise.
And any such resulting jolt that makes them sit up is definitely a good thing.
