Another interesting coincidence. One of the things Gordon and I do during our meetings is show each other what direct mail pieces we've received and sometimes products we've bought. We do this so we can learn what techniques other successful marketers are using and how we can employ those same techniques. Like them or hate them, (and I see even Dan Kennedy sells at least one product with them now), one of the best at this game is Nightingale-Conant. They have me right where they want me. With their hands in my wallet. Well, last night during one of our meetings, I showed Gordon a direct mail piece that I had recently received from NC. The piece had to do with an audio series by Harry S. Dent. It was called the "Roaring 2000s". Gordon asked me what I thought of the title and we agreed that the title and the concept were probably wrong.

You're saying "not so fast." Harry might have it right. Hmmm. I might give this product more serious consideration. Thanks Dien.
