Would it help if I yelled and called you
names?
I received the following email from one of my
readers up in the thin mountain air of Colorado who meant well but made me feel
kinda icky and gross:
-----------------------------------
Good morning
Dave, you seem like a motivated closer and revenue generator.
May I suggest you look at the [blah blah blah] work that [screaming insult & name-calling guy who has a ‘get rich quick or be a loser’ product for sale] has to offer on Youtube.

No other person
in the world has this knowledge except him at this time. [Is this a fact or an
opinion?]
He lives it to
this day. He was there when the world was just crumbling in the 70's and 80's. He
generated all that he has.
He is the only
man that I know of that never held money for a safe outcome.
I like your style which is who you are.
Go get them!

Keep your
letters and positive style coming.
Thank you
Thank you
C. in Colorado

I think C. has
misunderstood me.
I am NOT
a motivated closer.
The whole idea
is ridiculous.
I’ve worked my
whole life in sales and never once did I ‘close’ anyone.
The very word,
when used in this context, stinks of manipulation and deception. Getting someone to hand over money for
something because it benefits the seller and not the buyer.
Real businesses
are built on delivering value and problem-solving.
A real business
that endures the test of time provides something people want and people will
ask to be able to buy it.
Don’t you call
and ask your trusted auto mechanic if you can have an appointment to let him fix
your car for money? Think about it.
I’m not a
closer. I’m a guy who helps people
because I’m driven by a mission to help protect people from the dangers of bad
deals.
I create
programs and products that are informative, helpful and of value.
People step up
and buy them when they’re ready and the fees they pay are what they exchange to
me so I can keep doing this for all of you.
Just like the
mechanic has to make money in order to be there when you need him next time.
I and other
helpful business owners create opportunities that people choose to participate
in.
I prefer to
live amongst the civilized.
Cheers
David C Barnett
P.S. The 80’s
were awesome (haven’t you seen the films made in that decade?) and my videos
will continue to be free from name-calling and random F-bombs. Bye.
