Very true. This is what we call “entering the conversation that is already
taking place in the prospect's mind.”

Nobody likes to be sold, but everybody loves to buy.
You can not force anyone to click that Buy button, no matter what you write in your sales copy. You can build up excitement and features, you can provide bonuses, and you can create deadlines, but all these do is make it easier for a person to carry out the decision they have already made emotionally, because they know their need will be met by your product. Your job is to make it easy for them to convince themselves they are buying for logical reasons.

@Leo – That’s a great story of email marketing done right! The restaurant owner is already doing the right thing. I have no idea what he should do with 500 golf stories.

There are always vertical markets that you can explore IF your audience is large (and diverse) enough. And there are ways to separate general niche interests into vertical markets as well…the key is figuring out how to do it.

For instance, an local rag that I help work on also happens to reach people via email. The newsletter is for a restaurant (local). Now, people open their emails for this restaurant because the owner gives great deals.

He is also a great storyteller. One of his stories involved this 80 year old man who claimed to have shot 10 holes in one in his lifetime. The story ended with the question “what is your greatest golf story? send me yours and receive{special offer}

The restaurant’s list numbers around 30k in subscribers. Out of those 30k, 500 replied with a story of their own.

Now you tell me what this restaurant can do with this data?

It is really easy to want to write about what is interesting to you BUT if you are doing a business blog online you should have bumpers that are at the edge of what you talk about.

I go from customer service to marketing to information products but NEVER discuss politics, religion or sports. It wouldn’t fit into my message. I got your book. I am a blogger on a self hosted wordpress blog ironically enough…:)

Buyers are buying and sellers are selling whether you are in or out
