Oops! I Did It Again…
Oh no!
I swallowed some Ryan Deiss click-bait…
…only to discover I’d been fooled again.
The subject line said, “Re: Refund Request.”
Maybe I’m still in a post-vacation haze. Maybe the morning coffee hadn’t kicked in.
Whatever my excuse, my lizard brain told me to open the email so I could see the status of my “refund request.”
But, of course, there was no status. I’d made no such request.
All I saw was another tricky pitch from Ryan Deiss.
I was going to let this one go. Wallow alone in my “fool-me-more-than-once” misery.
But then I read Ryan’s email, nearly fell out of my chair, and thought, “YOU have to see this!”
Here’s what it said:
Thomas,
Our refund policy is clear.
We offer a 30 day, 100% satisfaction guarantee on all our certifications and workshops or your money back. (Even when they are up to 83% off like they are right now.)
Why?
Because one of our core values is to love, honor, and respect YOU, our customer.
The email continued with a hard pitch for Ryan’s online trainings.
(‘Scuse me while take a quick shower to scrub away the ironic B.S.)
Trick me with yet-another misleading subject line…
…and then tell me how much you love, honor, and respect me!?!
What a hoot!
A classic case of do as I say, not as I do.
You can do better.
Love, honor, and respect your prospects and clients?
Yes, I’m all for that.
Say it AND do it.
Don't go away yet..
