Of course you don't, you're a pen tester!  And lots of customers don't
believe it's a waste of money, either.  But for those that have invested in
pen-testing, they do it with the expectation that you'll find and report the
holes to them before the bad guys do.  And when a company spends on
pen-testing and gets hacked anyway, it's pretty hard to convince them of the
value of those pen tests.
