“Thanks Ben, you a–hole,” said Producer Jonathan when I gave him the “guidelines” for picking the top 3 iTunes “Ben Settle Show” reviews for the recent contest we had.
“What’s the matter?”
“How’m I supposed to pick the 3 best? They’re ALL good!”
The only guidelines I gave him were:
“Imagine a would-be listener is on the fence about wasting their time listening to a podcast, which 3 would put them over the top?
Problem is, almost all would have done the trick. So, MUCHO thank you’s to everyone who participated.
We really appreciate it.
But, if you didn’t win, don’t blame me.
Just remember:
It’s all Jonathan’s fault…
(Although you may be eligible for a consolation prize.)
That said, the winners are:
1. Sandy Espinoza, who gushed:
“Ben is my inspiring Go-To guy!”
There aren’t a lot of women in this field and sadly i have been taken advantage more than once by the supposed “goo-rus”. But not Ben-he has been honest, authentic, funny, informative, thought provoking and I have learned so much by his emails, podcasts and products. He is a wealth of honest information and I am so grateful every day that I found him, the podcasts and newsletters. If you want a real deal and not some “goo-rus” BS, stick with Ben, he won’t lead you wrong. I look forward to everything he puts out because I know i will learn something that will help me in some way whether its business personal. Always thought provoking, pay attention to what he says on his podcasts and other materials that he puts out there..you wont be sorry.”
2. Brad Millon, who pondered:
“Don’t be fooled by the Anti-preneur title!
It might take you a couple podcasts to see how Ben’s ideas compound but once you binge listen to a couple of podcasts you’ll quickly see how his concepts and anti-preneur attitude combined with your action taking can boost your marketing and profits no matter if you are an online info marketer or brick and mortar store owner. I found myself going back and listening to these podcasts on almost a non-stop loop as later podcasts opened up insights I missed on the early ones. In my humble but somewhat accurate opinion you should listen to at least three podcast before passing final judgement on whether this podcast is for you or not. Listen to these before Ben realizes the value of info he is giving away for free!”
3. Russell Martino, who saideth:
WARNING: LISTENING TO BEN SETTLE’S PODCASTS MAY HURT THE U.S. ECONOMY
Listening to Ben Settle podcast may save you from spending thousands of dollars on travel, and thousands more on high-priced courses on copywriting, marketing, advertising, sales and negotiation. Nationwide this could amount to hundreds of millions a year not flowing into the economy. I love the podcasts because Ben’s insights on marketing and copywriting are a mile deep. He has great stories and quips … and, selfish creature that I am … I listen, (and often take notes), because I nearly always get IMMEDIATE VALUE that I use in my business. (His “make me an offer” tip in the podcast on negotiation resulted in a client paying me nearly DOUBLE the fee I would have asked – thanks Ben!) Each podcast is loaded with master-level advice on sales and marketing. For me, the content is solid gold. If you own a business, or make a living helping business owners sell more of their product or service, I do both … you’ll subscribe, you’ll love it, and you won’t miss an episode.”
So there they are.
Sandy, Brad, and Russell…come on down!
Send me your snail mail address and I’ll mail you the “Crypto Marketing Secrets” book to your doorstep, and shoot you a link to the Agora tapes downloads.
Also, one more thing:
If you submitted a review during the contest and lost, I’ll send you a “consolation prize” just for giving it a shot.
Everyone’s a winner this time.
But, you only have until tomorrow at midnight (Pacific Standard Time) to claim it.
After that… too late.
(Hopefully you’re reading this in time.)
And people say I have no heart.
Sheesh…
Ben Settle
