A self described “NLP guy” once made elBenbo an offer he could easily refuse:
“What I’d like to propose to you is a case study that can be very beneficial to both of us. Teach me your stuff, show me how to develop a saleable package, and how to market it with email and use my success in your own marketing as proof of your pudding. 🙂 I think you can easily see how this could be a boon for you and myself, can you not?”
Not really, Chuckles.
Wait, was that last question NLP he was running on me?
I’m always amused at offers like this from various ex-spurts.
I remember waaaaay back when I first published “Email Players” this guy subscribed and cancelled, wrote a lame review about it (admitting he never implemented a single thing he learned) then made me an offer where I would “get” to write a bunch of his emails, and if they made more money than his current emails, he’d pay me a percentage of the increase in sales.
Mighty generous of him!
But here’s the point:
I often get asked for critiques and to review emails from paying “Email Players” subscribers, which I don’t do either of. There are both logistical and practical reasons why – plus, I hate doing critiques anyway, and 99% of the time people don’t have a “copy” problem, but an offer or list problem that can’t be solved by a copy critique anyway. Whatever the case, those paid Email Players of the Horde members are my priority. And yet, if I won’t even give their copy so much as a cursory glance… what makes these special little internet snowflakes think I’m going to write copy for them or teach them something free?
It takes a lot more than NLP, I’m afraid.
OK, enough of this clacking, on to the business.
