A bulletproof way to mark you as spam
|
I received this email as a "follow up". Here's the whole of it (translated, the original is in German) which is a 100% sure way of how to get marked as spam. Hello Rod,

WTF If you were ever told to use any of this tactics to get a response, PLEASE don't listen to them —and block them/fire them because it's all crap. It starts with a threat in "nice words" so that you get pushed to answer. ...or get marked as spam. Wanna do better? Use this one, by Blair Enns. :) https://www.winwithoutpitching.com/magic-email/ |

Everyone tells you to be aggressive. That you need to crush your competition. That you need to win. You don't.
It makes it easier in our heads to take things off to reduce the price and get to a point that's acceptable to us, than to keep adding things as we see the price going up. Check this story by Blair Enns: Anchor High.
After yesterday's message, there were replies on how much was this purse. The range went between 90 and 290. When I saw the purse I guessed 80-ish. The actual price: 436 Now, this is what happened: we got anchored. All of this unconsciously. Here's how (I think) this went. Having that poster next to it at 15 euros made my brain relate both things. If that's 15 euros, a 10X increase for this should be acceptable as a maximum. They're next to each other. They MUST be in kind of the same...
