My Story of Inspiration – A ScalingUp Podcast.
The following article was from the Better Business Bureau.
Manipulative sales techniques.
Sales should not be about tricking people to buy your product or service. The Scare ‘Em and Save ‘Em technique was used against me in the 1970’s by a competitor who was seeking to take away my customers. There is a variation of this technique being used in Washington to gain support for massive Bail Outs and “Free” Healthcare. The trick is to create concern for a problem real or imagined and then put forth the solution to that problem which only you can provide. The good news is that when people are educated on the trick, it seldom works on them. Below is a link to the Scare ‘Em and Save ‘Em training material. I have edited out the first page and internally blocked out words that reference the company that promoted this deceptive sales technique.
Soon we will point out the “Trick” in the Ben Franklin Close.
Our Newsletters.
We have decided to reactivate our Constant Contact Newsletter as a quaterly publication. We all get too many emails, and most of them are uninteresting to most of us. So, what do we do? We either unsubscribe or try to block them as Spam. Newsletters are no exception. Do get around this we feel the need to make our Newsleters interesting and informative to our readers. Thus, we have to ballance sustainability with quality of content. We think that once per month is the right blend for our customers and prospects.
Below we are posting hyperlinks to our published Newletters:
