Why are free conference calls always on Wednesday?

Because of my very strange day job work schedule, I won't be able to make the call, but I'll be waiting for the MP3, which I can't listen to on my computer (it's a Dell my wife won at an office Christmas party: top of the line but no extra bells and whistles. Though I still have my old computer stashed in the closet for emergencies). Any chance of a written transcript being available?

Looking forward to your advice,

James

If you have a CD burner, you can burn the MP3 onto a CD and listen to it anywhere. I do that a lot, because I like to listen to these types of calls when I am driving.

PS - I've received some questions via Private Message and I thought I would post some of the answers here, in case you have the same questions. I'm not sure I should be so forthcoming, but that's just the way I am I guess....

Q: Is this going to be a "pitch fest"?

A: It will not be a pitch fest.

Q: Then why are we doing this?

A: We are doing this for two reasons. The first is that there's an affiliate commission we could earn down the road. During the last few minutes (it will be brief), we will mention a site to go to. A recommendation, not a "pitch fest" or a "hard sell." Also, whether we earn any commissions or not, we get increased credibility... from other people speaking well of us (hopefully) or from others perceiving us as experts.

So that's the story. The call will be full of content. The recommendation will be brief. You can even hang up before we mention the site if you want.

Check out the main web site for full details.

I have every reson to believe this is going to be a great call. If I were speaking with a friend, I would tell them to listen up, shoulder in and to make a note, carefully.

I would tell my friend to write down the phone number and passcode to get on the call, as if they were writing down THE combination that will open the door to a sane, stable and high-paying career. A career that could introduce them to some of the most interesting, powerful and wealthy decision makers - that they might not otherwise have the opportunity to meet.

Listen: the business end of copywriting can be nothing short of discouraging, for those who are not inclined toward self-promotion.

Reality check: what good is your ability to write great copy, if nobody knows you exist?

And what good are your efforts at self-promotion, if those efforts require so much time and work to implement that you don't enjoy the business?

I think these guys might be on to something big, here. Or else they wouldn't have invested so much time in such a solid letter (click here to see it).

I think they mean serious business and that they really will deliver the goods - short cuts to a much higher income - solid info that you won't find and, therefore, can't get anywhere else.

I'd tell my friend to give it a shot by reading their letter at the very least. After all, ya' never know ... unless you try.

Great words of wisdom, Peter!

I mentioned before how much I liked their sales letter. The only thing missing that I saw that stood out was the lack of testimonials, but I think they've covered the proof nicely.

We've all written stellar sales letters where there were no testimonials, so that's nothing new, really. Plus I suspect there will be no shortage of testimonials that these guys deliver the goods after the call.

But I know each of these pros have testimonials from their clients. I suspect in this context testimonials could have actually detracted in some respects, and maybe that's the reason why they left them out. But here I go off on a tangent about testimonials!

Oh well, this is a copywriting forum, after all. And a great sales letter is what always catches our eyes.

They are positioning themselves nicely. I only wish I had thought of it first!

LOL!

I'm in!

Listened to the Bob Bly call today (I paid $59.00 and got my money's worth.)

Let's see what you guys have. Having met Ryan, and Mike at the last BS, I'm confident you'll over-deliver.

jamespalmer · 12-08-2005, 10:21 AM

Thanks. I can't burn CDs, but I'm getting an MP3 player after Christmas. I'm so eager for the info that when I get the MP3 file I'm going to hook up my Gateway just so I can listen to it.

When is the recording going to be released? I'm on the announcement list, but couldn't make the live event - so I'm hoping to be able to catch up via the recording!

jamespalmer · 12-08-2005, 10:42 AM

I've been wondering the same thing.

JP Maroney · 12-08-2005, 11:21 AM

I dialed in, then had to walk away to do some family stuff -- and go to dinner. At one point, I heard Ryan say...

"Take notes, 'cause I'm not sure we're recording or not."

Fortunately, I recorded the whole call on my digital recorder... So, if they didn't get it recorded, I could be "persuaded" to upload mine somewhere.

Such a nice guy I am, eh?
