If the intent of preaching the gosepl is to bring someone into a specific church, I'd say there's ulterior motive.

I did the math. The most successful FTTT trainees at bringing gospel contacts brought less than 1% of those they preached the gospel to meetings. That % was also true of DC in Houston prior to the FTTT.
So, the group I was in had several thousand gospel contacts over the course of one year. If you enjoy what you are doing it is not about bringing people to meetings. Since we are all laboring in the gospel it makes perfect sense that we would fellowship with one another. If I met someone the night before named "Tom" I am not going to refer to him as "Tom" because that would confuse everyone, they would think this must be a Tom that I know. So I need a nice easy way to identify him so that everyone can follow the testimony. How is this "smarmy"?
