February 11, 2006 (Press Release) --
The author of this article is a plain man when it comes to making money online; He just does what he does and tries to make an honest buck wherever he can without upsetting anyone.
Now and again though fate steps in and sends him prospects where he has to figure out for himself where they are coming from and where in fact they think they’re heading.
The author got one such prospect a few weeks ago in the shape of Rocco, a gentle giant from Brooklyn.
How does he know Rocco is a giant?
Rocco emailed a picture of himself towering over his significant other and some friends.
How does he know he’s gentle?
Read on…
The prospect emailed expressing interest in three of the author’s products but didn’t want them in digital format (which would have cost him $107 in total) he wanted hard copy.
The author suggested CD formatting.
Rocco got back to me saying, ‘No, I don’t want CDs, I want hard copy. I’ll pay a grand’
So now the author thought, loony tunes, but emailed back intimating that for $200 he’d give Rocco what he wanted; hard copy on all three products
The author reckoned he would hear no more but the following morning on checking his PayPal account he discovered to his astonishment that one thousand dollars had been deposited.
He decided he couldn’t take the man’s money and told him so.
Rocco got back to me within the hour.
His message read, “I said a grand, I meant a grand, I gave you a grand, so take a grand”.
So he took Rocco’s grand.
Wouldn’t you?
I mean who wants to be emailed to death…
The moral:
Never argue with prospects on what they are prepared to pay – or why when it’s more than the asking price. Maybe Rocco has a sight problem beyond the author’s ken or maybe he finds it difficult to read from a computer screen. The author will never know for sure but this he does know. Rocco is delighted with the hard copy he craved.
He told the author so… in yet another email.
