Default I discovered "How To STOP Refunds"!

I've discovered a way to get MOST of the buyers of my Business Reports to "Stop Requesting Refunds"!

I sell "Info" products..."ways to start a business" or "ways to make money".
(http://www.midasreports.com)

It has always frustrated me to get a "Request For Refund"...AFTER I've spent Time and Money...
.....putting the info-product together
.....advertising for prospects
.....sending my "Sales" info to inquiries
.....sending my product to those who order

....only to have some of them "Request A Refund"!

AND...what REALLY "Frosts My Fisterous" is when the materials they return to me....are COPIES of my Originals!

(How do I know they are "copies"? Because my Originals are in FULL COLOR. The stuff that's returned to me is "BLACK INK"!)

So....I proceeded to use my "years of experience in Sales and Marketing and "the Psychology of How to Get People to Do MY bidding"....and...after MUCH "Trial and Error".....

......I DISCOVERED HOW TO STOP 96% OF "REQUESTS FOR REFUNDS"

.....and I'm curious about 2 things from you folks this beautiful Fall weekend;

1) Is this topic of interest to you....who sell "Info-Products"? Do YOU get "requests for Refunds"?

2) What Price would you be willing to pay for "Info" that would "Stop 96% of your Requests for Refund?"

Please....I'm ONLY looking for responses from people who ACTUALLY....."Sell"... "Info"!

Thank you,

Don Alm

Don Alm I purchased the "Midas Report" from you and not only was it a copy but a very poor copy.

A Stop Refunds report would be interesting as long as it's beyond the obvious since a number one general strategy for most folks is to
have a better product.

So yes assuming this then give the crank a spin it might come to...

A small percentage of refunds is part of doing business no matter hard goods or egoods...

Quality products in my opinion and experience are never a problem worth worrying about... Figure in a 2-5% possibility of returns and/or refunds and you'll do just fine on your bottom line...

Of course you can always Create a need for any Problem out there...

Everyone tells us we need to worry about the problem of theft and losing affiliate commission so there are all kinds of products/software with solutions for it... But many will tell you it's only the Smart marketers that have Created the Problem... If it's a minimal problem, is it really worth worrying about?

Anyhow that's just my 2 cents on stuff...

And nothing against Don's idea... This is for Everyone's ideas...

Back to the original thread...

If you're going to create a product, any product, you may want to research... read and make sure that you can Make yours Better than the Competition...

And in this case it's Harvey Segal's...

Default Hi Don - Here's How I Reduced My Refunds to Nearly ZERO

Dear Don,

Thanks.

You and I met back in the Jay Abraham Protege days.

I've been selling INFO ever since.

Here's how I've reduced Refunds to a trickle in my Ebay side business.

For Example:

A new customer asked me to look at his website for him. I noticed he is selling a 5.00 Report on *How to Do More PushUps Faster* - I don't want MORE PAIN faster. And 5.00 is too cheap.

But it Never occurred to me I could sell PushUps INFO.

So I wrote up my own PushUp tactic and tested it on Ebay for 40 cents. And it's up to 40.00 SMACKERS already.

**REDNECK Reveals Secret to WgtLess, Effortless PushUps**


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MESE:IT&ih=002


Thanks,
Glenn Osborn

P.S. - What I do is write a Guarantee that says, *You have 2 Years to take advantage of my 100% munny back Guarantee. All we ask is you send us 1 or 2 Examples or stories Proving you TRIED our AntiGravity Pushups. A 6 yr old could do that. We'll gladly refund your munny.

Works like a charm.

Default Hey Phil....

Thanks for responding.

I'm hearing from some of my fellow "Info Marketers" that the percentage of people who request refunds is rising and I have NOT seen any "Info Reports" on "Techniques To Stop or Limit Refunds".

With your vast research capabilities have you seen anything on this topic?

Thanks,
Don Alm

Default Phil....you are amazing...

Your BookMarks must be like the "SmithSonian of the Net".

There used to be a gal on the Forums who went by the initials "TLC". She was in the East somewhere and was a Yellow Page salesgal. She posted mostly on Tony Blake's board and Bill Myer's when he had his going from Hot Springs Ark.

In fact, she was invited to be a presenter in one of the first BIG "Internet Marketing Seminars" in the UK....back about '96 or '97.

You'd ask a question and she'd have the answer and research back, in a flash.

You should consider putting your "BookMarks" on a CD and selling it as a "Internet Resource Directory".

Thanks for your response,

Don Alm

Default Hey Glenn....

Yup....I remember the "Good Ol' Days" of the Jay Abraham protege days. Jay was amazing (still is). He earned me a bunch with his method of getting biz owners to pay me a percentage of the increase in biz I brought them.

What I've always enjoyed about you, Glenn....is the way you;
1) Get an idea
2) Do some research
3) Then...you didn't just "jump-start" it into action....you "FLUNG-Started" it...meaning you hit it with everything you had....with '"PASSION"!

Love your "Passion" Glenn. Your "Passion" for what you do....puts you ahead of most other "info-sellers".

Thanks for responding. Good to hear from you... and, remember to "Thank God for what you have"!

Don Alm

Default most "info products" are junk

Most "info products" are not worth the paper they are printed on.

That's why you get so many refunds.
