Default Are You Refering To Me...

Jeremy?

If so... it wasn't for lack of me wanting
to share to a point!

It's more due to the lack of time
I've had lately. I've barely had 2 or 3
minutes a day to even scan my favorite boards.

But here is what we use when we call, it's
basically a variation of Mike Rodman's "take
away" opening.

Hello Mr. Owner,

My name is Joe with eClub Rewards, and we've
developed a simple and affordable way for
businesses like yours to create and maintain
an email database of your customers that gives
you the ability to market to that list for a
fraction of the cost of direct mail.

Now... I'm not sure if you would even qualify
for our program... but what I'd like to do
if you are interested is to schedule a time
where we can sit down for no more than 10
minutes in order to find out more about your business... and to determine if in fact you
could benefit from our services.

Fair enough?

****

That's basically it. It's probably not even
very good (by a PRO'S standards)but it's working.

Now... I HOPE you were not refering to me when
you stated that some take but don't give. Because
that's not completely true.

But YES! I do prefer to give some of my
secrets and strategies behind closed doors.

I took an idea (Don's), put thought and work
into it. Then found Jim E's course and bought
it. Then more thought and work. Then found
Gordon's get off your ass and do something
course. Bought it. More thought and work,
then finally some action. And here I am.

But I'm not going to give every piece of the
puzzle I've worked hard for away here on the
forum. You can get the same info I got from
the above places. That should be more than
enough for those who really want it.

So I'll give to a point.

Ask Debbie, or John Henry Carlson, who politely
emailed me privately. I shared much with them.

But I am not hip to giving away the farm I've
worked so hard for over the last years. And
remember I don't have a product I'm trying to
sell you guys either.

Just food for thought.
