Instead of telling them not to be we-we, tell them that it's great to be we-we, but you have to make the web visitors realize they NEED what they have to offer. Example: If they are selling vaccuums that also mop the floor, that is something to be proud of, however, what are some scenarios when I, as a consumer, may need this vacuum? This way, they are able to boost their ego by talking about how great their product is, but they are also engaging the client by making them realize that there are many instances in which they needed their service/ product. In turn, you can measure their stats and change scenarios accordingly. Other than that idea, which I am sure you tried, I'd just tell ya to move on to the greener pastures and don't waste your time with them. They'll eventually run out of money and you don't want your name associated with them when that happens!! Maybe if you turn it around on them.
