Probably right MTed - particularly if you're trying via the open market.

You'll be up against well connected Daddies pushing their young darlings and Record companies pushing all their old hacks they haven't found work for in the charts or obscure radio slots.

Getting to know who's after what before the record companies do is part of the process, or persuading the film maker you produce better songs than the industry hacks - is all helpful too.
