“I don’t argue with doctors. You know what I’d say to them? \u2018Take your clothes off and let me see what you look like.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So said the legendary body builder Vince Gironda.<\/p>\n

Reminds me of what fitness bros onTwitter dismissively tell skinny reply guys:<\/p>\n

\u201cPost fizeek\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

i.e., let\u2019s see what you look like.<\/p>\n

The reply guys never do, of course.<\/p>\n

Got a lot of this in the online marketing world, too – reply guys yapping out unsolicited advice, opinions, conjecture. And I think it would be amusing to dismiss them in a similar manner:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou send too many emails\u201d<\/p>\n

Post bizeek.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou sell too much in your emails\u201d<\/p>\n

Post bizeek.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour emails are too long\u201d<\/p>\n

Post bizeek.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour books are too expensive and nobody reads anymore\u201d<\/p>\n

Post bizeek.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re too mean\u201d<\/p>\n

Post bizeek.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to offer an audio and PDF version of Email Players\u201d<\/p>\n

Post bizeek.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should give me lots of value for free before selling me something\u201d<\/p>\n

Post bizeek.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should let people who cancel Email Players come back\u201d<\/p>\n

Post bizeek.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should track open rates\u201d<\/p>\n

Post bizeek.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t use AI you\u2019ll be left behind\u201d<\/p>\n

Post bizeek.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need a nurture sequence\u201d<\/p>\n

Post bizeek.<\/p>\n

And on and on and on it goes. I never reply back to these dorks.<\/p>\n

But if if I ever did, I\u2019d just say:<\/p>\n

\u201cPost bizeek\u201d<\/p>\n

i.e., show me YOUR business.<\/p>\n

No, don\u2019t show me your client\u2019s business. Or that tech company that was handed $20 million in fundings\u2019 business. Or your favorite goo-roo\u2019s business. Or some guy who wrote a book\u2019s business. Or that blue flame special prancing around the mastermind room talking out of his arse\u2019s business\u2026 show me YOUR business, that you built, not someone else\u2026 and show me how your business has achieved exactly what I am trying to achieve with my business and maybe I\u2019d listen.<\/p>\n

Enough reply guy goop for the soul.<\/p>\n
