I gots more to say about neediness and marketing.<\/p>\n
Including, an example from Trump.<\/p>\n
Last week I got this email from a bloke named Konrad:<\/p>\n
I just got a email from a list I\u2019m on and the subject line is cesspool of neediness. I figured I\u2019d give you some more email fodder since you\u2019re the one who taught me why this headline is so asinine. Here it is: 10 Second Question (Please OPEN and ANSWER Immediately) \u2018Cause of what you teach, I didn\u2019t want to open the email just out of spite.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Yeesh.<\/p>\n
Konrad is exactly right.<\/p>\n
I am betting you got a visceral revolting reaction just reading that subject line.<\/p>\n
(I know I did\u2026)<\/p>\n
Now, that is a pretty obvious example.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s talk about a not-so-obvious example that even great negotiators like Trump make. Sometime last year, the media started saying Trump wasn\u2019t mentally fit to be president (something like that). And, instead of ignoring them or using one of a dozen other techniques he has demonstrated he knows for dealing with such things, he did the opposite and went on the defense.<\/p>\n
In his case, he took to Twitter to defend himself.<\/p>\n
Dumb.<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
Because all that did was make him look insecure and needy.<\/p>\n
If you use my email ways, you will have no shortage of people (big and small) taking shots at you like, that, too (most recently \u201cEmail Players\u201d subscriber Daisy Luther got attacked by the media and even Snopes). And, when they do, I suggest using the persuasion secret Trump should have used.<\/p>\n
A secret that:<\/p>\n
1. Instantly silences the opposition (or makes them double down and look silly, you win, either way)<\/p>\n
2. Can put more pesos in your piggy bank<\/p>\n
3. Is also good for any other time (business or otherwise) someone tries to bust your balls, accuse you of something stupid, or humiliate you in some way<\/p>\n
A secret, you can find on page 11 of the July \u201cEmail Players\u201d issue.<\/p>\n
Not only do I show you this secret, but I also show you what Trump could have said in a single tweet to shut all his opposition down in a single tweet, further lower the media\u2019s overall status (while raising his), and ended up probably earning a lot of political capital.<\/p>\n
