This morning I had to unsubscribe someone from
my other email list, the political one, because I don't care to deal with nasty people.
This gentleman -- Greg is is name -- wrote to tell me I was an idiot if I believed X and Y. No hello, no "thank you for all the free content over the years but I think you're misled on these particular issues," nothing. Just an insult.
So I wrote back and showed him how he might have conveyed the same message more politely.
He actually responded with an apology -- which is a very rare thing. I always tell my kids: one of the least common things in the world is a sincere apology. So accept one when it comes your way, and make one yourself when it is owed.
I received his apology last night and was happy, and was going to write back to him today.
And then I woke up to this:
"Just as I suspected, a nicely worded email elicits no response."
Sixteen hours (during eight of which I was asleep) had passed, and he's already angry.
My reply:
Greg, I have a newborn baby. I receive hundreds of emails per day. I am doing the best I can.
At this point I'm concluding that you're
just a bad person overall. I was happy to get your note and was planning to write to you today after finishing my newsletter. I go to the gym at 11:30 and I get the newsletter out before then. But two-thirds of a day (during half of which I was asleep) is too much time for me to spend getting back to you?
Not to mention, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO STARTED IT with your nasty note! YOU are not the one in a position to be
impatient with ME!
Seriously, man, work on yourself. These are bad traits. Conquer them. Good luck.
And then I clicked unsubscribe.
Most of my subscribers are the salt of the earth. Wonderful people. But when incidents like this occur I wish I had some way to generate higher-quality subscribers so I wouldn't have to deal
with someone like Greg.
Well, I don't have such a way, but thankfully for you, in your business you do: you have Marlon Sanders' 55 methods to get high-quality leads.
The best leads come from referrals, and almost nobody knows how to generate those consistently and systematically.
Everyone on earth wants them. Nobody realizes there are systems for getting them. Fifty-five such systems, in fact.
Marlon is an OG of
marketing. He's met everyone, read everything, and has a huge bank of experience. That's why I invite him to advise my guys at my high-dollar mastermind.
For the next 48 hours, when you pick up Marlon's referral training -- your competitors won't know how you're doing what you're doing, I assure you -- he's also throwing in another one of his products, called Words that Sell.
Headline for that one
reads:
"IF YOU WANT TO WRITE SALES COPY THAT PRACTICALLY COMPELS PEOPLE TO GIVE YOU MONEY (EVEN WITHIN 15 MINUTES), THIS SALES COPY IMMERSION COURSE WILL ARGUABLY GIVE YOU A 5-YEAR HEAD START -- AND SAVE YOU FROM BANGING YOUR HEAD AGAINST THE WALL IN FRUSTRATION"
As Marlon puts it, he'll show you why some people sell 25,000 units of a product and others sell 25.
So you get two goodies for the price of
one, and they can both do wonders for you.
Who doesn't want more referrals? They are the best customers according to every metric.
Here's how to get them:
