Recently my biz partner in all-things software Troy Broussard sent me this:<\/p>\n
This ex-client of mine… former coaching client…<\/strong><\/p>\n
Texts me out of the blue and is about to publish his book and asks me about QR codes… I tell him about RedirectMe… perfect for what he needs and perfect timing…<\/strong><\/p>\n
He starts asking me all kinds of questions…\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\u2014> I copy\/paste images of the answers on the sales page…<\/strong><\/p>\n
He asks another…<\/strong><\/p>\n
\u2014> I say “read the sales page”<\/strong><\/p>\n
He then starts to argue about why he needs to spend $20…<\/strong><\/p>\n
\u2014>\u00a0\u201cDude, you texted me and asked ME what to do\u2026 I told you\u2026 now you\u2019re arguing over $20 with me\u2026 GO AWAY\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
I’m becoming very Ben-esque… lol<\/strong><\/p>\n
GO AWAY\u2026<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
High IQ guys like Troy (literally was a Navy nuclear engineer) can only handle so much low IQ behavior before cracking.<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s always fun to listen to him rant about such things.<\/p>\n
But as I told him:<\/p>\n
\u201cYou will officially achieve peak Settle when you not only ignore out-of-the-blue texts altogether, but don’t even know who sent them…because you had already long removed them from your phone\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And so it is.<\/p>\n
Something else:<\/p>\n
One of the reasons for my \u201cno coming back\u201d rule with people who leave Email Players is not because I\u2019m so hog nasty rich I want to turn away new business. It\u2019s because 9 out of 10 times they have the same mentality as Troy\u2019s ex-customer above.<\/p>\n
Doesn\u2019t make \u2018em bad people.<\/p>\n
Just makes \u2018em terrible customers for my particular offers.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why I am grateful for all the cheap competition out there:<\/p>\n
Every ecosystem needs scavengers (carp, catfish, etc).<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s always good when those who leave my world \u201cfloat\u201d down to the bottom where those scavengers are. I certainly don\u2019t want them anymore (if they weren\u2019t intelligent\/ambitious\/interested enough to use the info before, they won\u2019t later, so what is the point?) And the scavenger gets a free meal.<\/p>\n
Everyone wins.<\/p>\n
Uh-oh.<\/p>\n
Hear that?<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the sound of a now-offended goo-roo fanboy angry typing me a response.<\/p>\n
While he\u2019s doing that, if you are interested in knowing how to write emails people look forward to opening, reading, and clicking, go here:<\/p>\n
