Please stop with putting those dam links in there until it&#8217;s ready it&#8217;s annoying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEN:<\/strong> Your request has been received&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>&#8230; processed&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>&#8230; and &#8212; BZZZT! &#8212; <em>denied<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>You see, it&#8217;s like this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n1. I get new subscribers every single day and I&#8217;d be doing them a disservice not telling them about the notification list.<\/p>\n<p>2. If something persuades you to click each day, then maybe you should figure out WHY.  One great way to learn sales is to observe what works on you, yeah?<\/p>\n<p>3. Is clicking a link really that hard?<\/ul>\n<p>If so, then I suggest summoning all your might and clicking the &#8220;unsubscribe&#8221; link at the bottom of this email.  <\/p>\n<p>Life&#8217;s too short to be on email lists that annoy you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>QUESTION<\/strong>: When is the launch date? <\/p>\n<p><strong>BEN:<\/strong> Hopefully sometime in October or November.  <\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t quote me on that.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>QUESTION:<\/strong> What&#8217;s it gonna cost?  <\/p>\n<p><strong>BEN:<\/strong> Probably $67 per month (but don&#8217;t quote me on that either).  <\/p>\n<p>Not exactly a fortune.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not cheap, either.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have the budget for this (there&#8217;s certainly no crime in that), and if you&#8217;re not someone who eagerly applies new sales and marketing information, you&#8217;re better off not buying it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>QUESTION:<\/strong> I know you said this will be a physical CD and transcript each month.  Will there be a website archive to download the previous months&#8217; recordings?<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEN:<\/strong> Negative.<\/p>\n<p>You will be able to buy previous months&#8217; CD &#038; transcript.  But it will be more expensive than the monthly Crackerjack Selling CD Club subscription rate.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Besides the obvious reason, I also want to reward long term subscribers, and not give others for free what they paid for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>QUESTION:<\/strong> Can I buy the book without joining the continuity?<\/p>\n<p>The book is not for sale anywhere else.  The only way to get it is to join the Crackerjack Selling CD Club.<\/p>\n<p>Also, there will be no refunds on this.<\/p>\n<p>You can cancel any time you want, of course.  But all sales are final.  I want to make it clear to any and all &#8220;refund-artists&#8221;, they might as well not even waste their time on this. <\/p>\n<p><strong>QUESTION:<\/strong> What the heck&#8217;s taking so long?<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEN:<\/strong> That&#8217;s a very good question.<\/p>\n<p>Fact is, this project has been plagued by delays. But there IS light at the end of the tunnel.  <\/p>\n<p>So <em>patience<\/em>, grasshopper.  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s coming.<\/p>\n<p>And the good things come to those who wait, yeah?<\/p>\n<p>Ben Settle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following little ditty isn&#8217;t for everyone.
