It&#8217;s thought that putting metal around your head blocks these signals, so the &#8220;voices&#8221; can&#8217;t violate your mind.<\/p>\n<p>So why bring this up?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Because, in a way, your customers have &#8220;tinfoil hats&#8221; on, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what I mean:<\/p>\n<p>Chances are, your market has gotten so many daily persuasion messages &#8220;beaming&#8221; at them for so long&#8230; that they&#8217;ve put up a mental shield blocking out your (and everyone else&#8217;s) marketing &#8220;signals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And who can blame them?<\/p>\n<p>I mean, think about it:<\/p>\n<p>The average person is hit with THOUSANDS of persuasive messages each day &#8212; via TV, radio, billboards, bosses, the news, websites, emails, the list goes on.<\/p>\n<p>It can drive you <em>batty<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>So how do you penetrate those tinfoil hats?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy.<\/p>\n<p>Put away the sneaky &#8220;tips &#038; tricks&#8221;, mind control techniques and other gimmicks&#8230; and simply establish a relationship with your list.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s really that simple.<\/p>\n<p>Just being that one person they look forward to hearing from (where it&#8217;s not a chore, but a <em>pleasure<\/em> to hear from you) is like poking a secret hole in those tinfoil hats only YOU know about, so you can get your message through almost any time you want.<\/p>\n<p>No need for any black hat tips &#038; tricks. <\/p>\n<p>Just establish a relationship with your market.<\/p>\n<p>Be a useful and valuable <em>friend<\/em> (instead of a vulture).<\/p>\n<p>And then show them what ya got.<\/p>\n<p>Do that and you don&#8217;t really have &#8220;competition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ben Settle<\/p>\n<p><strong>P.S.<\/strong> Email is probably the best way to establish a relationship with your market like this.
