Okay so here’s the thing:<\/p>\n
Many of the people who donated to my local dog shelter in exchange for a copy of “Crackerjack Selling Secrets” last week have been asking how much was generated.<\/p>\n
And, really, I did not know.<\/p>\n
I have kept track of all the replies, but it was over 240 donations and I just haven’t had the time to go through each one and add them all up (most were $5 some were $10 and $20 and one person donated a whopping $200, it was awesome).<\/p>\n
Anyway, I just found out the other day the number.<\/p>\n
Not because I counted or even asked, though.<\/p>\n
In fact, I really wanted to keep it anonymous.<\/p>\n
But they somehow found me out and posted the amount on FaceBook.<\/p>\n
Here’s what they said:<\/p>\n
AWESOME NEWS! We just checked our PayPal account. Since September 4th, we have received over $2000 in online donations alone.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
They said some other nice stuff, too.<\/p>\n
But I messaged them and said those who donated are the ones who really<\/em> deserve the thanks.<\/p>\n
After all, y’all did the real work.<\/p>\n
I just held the “clipboard.”<\/p>\n
So if you donated, thank you!<\/p>\n
You have really helped a great cause.<\/p>\n
And I know this because I got my own dog from this very shelter about 5 years ago.<\/p>\n
By the way…<\/p>\n
I teach doing these sorts of sales in the “Email Players Playbook”.<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
Especially since it does not directly benefit you?<\/p>\n
Because there’s more to life than just our own self interests.<\/p>\n
And it’s good for the soul to give back without ANY expectation of anything in return. When you do email the way I teach you can raise hundreds or even thousands of dollars for any cause you want. Just model what I did with this last one — give your list something valuable in exchange for them donating to whatever cause you want, and ask them to send you their PayPal receipt as proof.<\/p>\n
Pretty easy.<\/p>\n
Plus, it lets you give back far more than if you did a one time donation.<\/p>\n
(And your customers will love it, too.)<\/p>\n
