But the wrong offer sent to the wrong prospect usually won&#8217;t do much good, will it? <\/p>\n<p>Another astute subscriber said a &#8220;hungry crowd.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Important?<\/p>\n<p>VERY.<\/p>\n<p>But king?<\/p>\n<p>I say thee nay.<\/p>\n<p>Consider this:<\/p>\n<p>The golf market is the HOTTEST market I&#8217;ve ever seen.  It&#8217;s so <em>rabid<\/em> that, in a golf info publishing company I partner in, we once only had an order form up (no sales letter) and it was pulling lots of sales. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s THAT hungry a market.<\/p>\n<p>But, here&#8217;s the rub:<\/p>\n<p>I have a friend who had a golf site with a full sales letter with traffic, and he said he wasn&#8217;t making jack. So IMHO, a hungry market is not king, either <\/p>\n<p>(Especially if you ain&#8217;t the only &#8220;grocery store&#8221; in town).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Look, the real &#8220;king&#8221; is not necessarily obvious.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It actually transcends all the stuff we see in the old school marketing, sales and copywriting books. (In at least one instance it&#8217;s <em>frowned<\/em> upon by one of the old time masters.)<\/p>\n<p>Yet doing it today is (I believe) mandatory.<\/p>\n<p>Especially if you want to stick out like a sore thumb in your market.<\/p>\n<p>And especially if you want to make selling much easier (and even <em>fun<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>And guess what?<\/p>\n<p>This is the FIRST CD\/transcript lesson in my Crackerjack Selling CD Club (which launches tomorrow). I was going to hold off on this lesson for a while. But it makes a perfect &#8220;foundation&#8221; and is like giving <em>rocket fuel<\/em> to all your selling activities. (Both online and offline.)<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and don&#8217;t forget:<\/p>\n<p>If you subscribe tomorrow on launch day, you also get a 60+ minute advanced teaching on 5 different ways to use simple stories to sell more of your products and services &#8212; along with examples.<\/p>\n<p>You can jump on the notification list at:<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.CrackerjackSelling.com\" rel=\"noopener\">www.CrackerjackSelling.com<\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hope to see ya on the other side \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Ben Settle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many moons ago I did an email about the &#8220;king&#8221; of selling online.
