For example: People who use a\u00a0supplement for 4 days and whine about how it&#8217;s &#8220;a scam!!!!&#8221; Or\u00a0someone who buys an eBook off clickbank and refunds within 10\u00a0minutes, when they didn&#8217;t have enough time to read the table of\u00a0contents much less the eBook itself.<\/p>\n<p>And so on, and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>Believe you me, this happens every day.<\/p>\n<p>All the time.<\/p>\n<p>To businesses around\u00a0the world.<\/p>\n<p>And, it especially happens during the holidays.<\/p>\n<p>I compare notes with a lot of businesses who sell to so-called\u00a0business owners and it&#8217;s astonishing how &#8212; especially for\u00a0businesses who sell products on how to make more sales &#8212; people\u00a0decide to refund right before Christmas because it&#8217;s more important\u00a0to buy little Timmy his new Playstation than keep and apply an\u00a0$500 informational product they bought that can make them 10, 20,\u00a0even 30 times the money they spent.<\/p>\n<p>Dumb.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, where am I going with this?<\/p>\n<p>Before Christmas is when you see who the winners and losers are.<\/p>\n<p>They make it plain as day.<\/p>\n<p>And, it&#8217;s a GOOD thing.<\/p>\n<p>I actually am thankful when someone buys from me (in one of the markets where I offer refunds) and refunds during the holidays. That way, I can black list them from buying anything else and wasting more of my time.<\/p>\n<p>One more thing:<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not letting marketers off the hook.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of sales letters promise a magic pill (they know they can&#8217;t\u00a0fulfill), and even make solid cases for buying. They deserve\u00a0refunds and cancels. Crap products deserve to be chased off the\u00a0market.<\/p>\n<p>And good riddance to &#8217;em.<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s keep this in context, k?<\/p>\n<p>K.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the &#8220;Email Players&#8221; newsletter is not a magic pill.<\/p>\n<p>If you are someone who has no list or product, no desire to work\u00a0hard, a crap attitude, needs constant hand holding (can&#8217;t think for\u00a0yourself), can&#8217;t write a word without raiding a swipe file, or who\u00a0won&#8217;t apply the info as taught&#8230; it ain&#8217;t for you.<\/p>\n<p>Plenty of other products to buy.<\/p>\n<p>(And refund, when they don&#8217;t work.)<\/p>\n<p>But, don&#8217;t waste your time on mine.<\/p>\n<p>For everyone else?<\/p>\n<p>Check out:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.EmailPlayers.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>www.EmailPlayers.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ben Settle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently I was listening to a &#8220;Social Distortion&#8221; song called: &#8220;Winners and losers&#8221; And, it got me to thinking: How can you tell a loser customer from a winner?
