Have you ever been to one of those time share sales tours? You know what I mean. You receive an invitation in the mail for the weekend at a beach or mountain resort. The offer includes free lodging, breakfast, and a great gift. All you have to do is take a tour of the property for a couple of hours and listen to a sales presentation. It sounds great…and then the shoe drops. The sales pitch is heavy handed, can be very intimidating, and in the worst cases may even be insulting and threatening.
I recently got an invitation in the mail to attend a “FREE Dinner Conference” in my town to learn how people make money on the Internet. The invitation included tickets for me and my guest. We would even receive a free gift, an MP3 player. Wow! I’m in. So I called a friend and we decided to satisfy our curiosity over a free lunch.
I have to say, it really was a well done presentation. They were very cordial, respectful and there were no high pressure tactics. Their pitch was good. They asked all the right questions of the audience.
- You all want to make money, right?
- You want to be independent and financially secure, right?
- You want to take care of your family, right?
- The economy’s in the tank, right?
- Do you want some of the billions of dollars spent online? Duh!
Then the shoe dropped. Just give us some of your money and you can have our money making system. You’ll have the bucks rolling in while you sleep in no time. If you really want to be successful, you can upgrade for 20 times the intro price. You know, when something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The point is that internet marketing and selling is a complicated puzzle. Success doesn’t come easy and it doesn’t come quick. As Earl Nightingale said, you can’t get any heat from the stove until you put some wood in it.
