Chip’s B2B Tip #109 - Dr. Mani - More BS

.
B2B Tip #109 - SS,DD
.

I just got an email from Dr. Mani announcing that he was closing one of his 'prospect' lists.

Why?

These people aren't really prospects ...

Main Reason? Lack of response and very low conversion. I sent him an 'applause/congrats' email.

There are two sides to this story ... Dr. Mani's and the list's ...

Dr. Mani feels like it's a waste of his valuable time and experience to keep feeding people who never do anything. I don't blame him one little bit.

People who eat and eat and never do anything ... just get fat(ter) and lazy(ier.)

I agree with Dr. Mani 100%, and I have the exact same philosophy.

His list wants to be an 'energy vampire' and give nothing back. Frankly - I'll NEVER understand that position ... but I detest 'takers' who are selfishlessly only concerned about themselves. All these sorts of people happily do is take, take, take.

They never 'give' back ...

That's the 'more BS' part of the story.

Why would you be on such a list?

If the content is useful and meaningful to you, and the host also sells particular products that reinforce the 'free' messages, teaching more of the deeper meaning and techniques covered in the free stuff - why would you not buy something?

Buying an ethical and honest host's products shows respect, appreciation, and reward for his or her efforts in trying to help you. You can then save tons of time and mountains of money.

If you are in the 'unappreciative' group, find someone else to mooch off of. People who do this are an embarrassment to themselves and to 'the group' as a whole.

If you're so broke you can't buy any of the products and info that will deliver you from being so broke, re-leverage some of your assets. Skip lunch a time or two. Have a garage sale. Work a few hours overtime.

Do something different than you've always done if you want different results than you've always had.

This is GOOD advice.

(If you're thinking to yourself, "Dr. Mani doesn't sell anything his list wants to buy," - WAKEUP CALL - these people are on the WRONG LIST.)

Sure - there are the so-common ludicrous 'product-of-the-week' gurus who are only after your money. Deal with it because that's the nature of unscrupulous business people ... and Dr. Mani is NOT in this group.

I'm entitled to my opinion, and this is just my 2 cents based on my personal experiences - and those of people I trust who offer you honest value for an honest price - (not the BS scammers who will sell you anything just to get your credit card.)

Once again, Dr. Mani is NOT in that group ...
