Finally… an Affordable Cure for “Captainaire’s Disease” 🥳
Happy Birthday to the late, great Strother Martin (DOB: March 26, 1919).
He’s the actor who played “Captain” (the warden) in “Cool Hand Luke.”
He’s the one who slammed Luke to the ground and said,
“What we’ve got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can’t reach.”
Captain got the first part right. (Failure to communicate? Yessiree!)
But the reason for that miscommunication? Captain got that part wrong.
Captain failed, not Luke…
…and therein lies an important business lesson…
…and Reason #127 that I’m launching Club Storyville on Thursday (to cure Captainaire’s Disease).
The Captain’s approach to communication: “I’ll tell you how it is. You’ll do as I say. If you don’t do as I say, you’ve failed. You just can’t be reached.”
Too many business people “communicate” like the captain. They suffer from Captainaire’s Disease.
They lecture lots, and converse little. They tell you how it is. They dish out boring, “blah, blah, blah” information. They tell you to sign-up or buy, rather than inspire you to act.
And when audience members tune out and move on, they blame the audience.
“These people can’t be reached,” say those with Captainaire’s Disease.
Their next move: “Gimme better leads. Gimme people I can reach.”
Here’s the problem with that approach:
If you dish out boring, prospect-repelling content, your audience will tune out and move on. That’s YOUR fault, not theirs.
In Club Storyville, we’ll cure Captainaire’s Disease together. We’ll transform content from prospect-repelling to client-attracting.
Together we’ll create informative, entertaining content to help you stand out as the go-to human in your niche — the one to hire.
Clients pay me hundreds (sometimes thousands) of dollars each month to help them create captivating content that drives sales. You’ll invest far less than that to join Club Storyville.
And because you’re on this list, you’ll invest far less than those not on the list. Starting on Thursday, I’ll offer Club Storyville charter memberships for less than the “retail” price — way less.
Stay tuned for details.
