Default 3 Golden Rules from Mentors Who Mail to Opt-in Lists

Dear Jessica,

Thanks for the excellent question.

I too have rented double opt-in lists. Gotten not one nibble to a previously proven offer. It made me cautious.

When I checked with some mentors.

They laughed.

Told me some things THEY DO that I'd skipped.

#1 - Always deal on the phone with the List owner. Or the owner of the List rental Company. Never just an opt-in rental website or service person.

DEMAND you be treated as a VIP.
You don't want to be treated as a commodity.

#2 - MAKE YOURSELF VALUABLE - Tell or show them you have a proven sales letter or website offer. IF they provide qualified lists. You will b uy over and over.

THEN - ASK to see 2 or 3 offers that were profitable with the list you are about to rent.

#3 - IF you really want to be sure the list is GOLD. Ask to talk to the previous rentor. To find out how his offer did to the list.

LASTLY...

An over-all SHORTCUT...

ASK to speak to one or two happy customers. ANY buyer or client. IF they cannot or will not, You've saved your money.

P.S. - Jessica - What is the demographic or psychographic of your ideal prospect? In shorthand - what niche or industry do you sell to?
