I do not beleive any data could exist - you would need access to TSR's (then) sales records and a comprehensive statistical analysis which proved a correlation between your effort and their sales; and that said correlation was statistically significant (i.e. proving that two of your mates bought something becaus eof it is irrelevant). It would be a very complex and detailed proof.
Furthermore, even in you did have such details, you would need vastly wider statistics to provide evidence that it was anything more than a statistical aberration in that one case.
On the plus side, I do believe that
you believe that.
I hereby give you permission to post, here on EN World, any such proof without moderator recrimination. Feel free to provide this data.
