Taking Cat To The Vet Just Made Me Money Today - Yes You Heard Me Right!

13 replies
Hi warriors,

I have had a very bizarre week.

You know one of those weeks where everything just goes right. Maybe it is lady luck shining, or my stars aligning, the big man upstairs deciding to smile on me for a change, or maybe all those losing lottery tickets have built up a positive negative charge of electrons out there. Who knows???

But our cat has been sick lately. He is a ragdoll and one of those high maintenance litter critters (yes, dont ask). So I decided to take him to the vet and get him checked out. Normally when you get your bill, it looks more like a telephone number than an invoice LOL

Now to cut a long story short, I like Jake our vet. We have been using him for years, He is great with me, and our pets we have. It is strange, but we have sort of become friends over the years, and we have this non-spoken respect for one another. It is hard to explain, but I am sure you know what I mean. It is just people on your level who you "CLICK WITH" I know you understand what I mean.....

Anyway.....

While he is checking our cat he was talking about his son at college doing marketing. My ears pricked up instantly. We went on talking about marketing stuff, and he was really getting in to it. He started asking about the products I sell online. I actually went beyond that, and told him about my products first, but how he could apply my techniques to his business....For more profits!

He was so suprised with what I told him, and the great info he said, straight out... "Hey I should buy one of your products!!"

I was surprised with this comment......and it took me back a bit!!! LOL.

Then what he said was even funnier!


He said : "Hey shouldnt you be trying your voodoo on me to make me buy!"

I said : "Looks like voodoo already worked, buddy!"


The next morning I woke up and saw the paypal payment come through. LOL.

Guess this was just like putting someone in a list, and giving them great content over time and building a great relationship in the process. I just realised it works probably better offline than online.

Quite powerful, and the VET paid me for a change!! LOL.

To your online (and or offline) profits

P.S. - Cat is fine by the way.

    Congratulations

    This reminds me a lot of the speech "Acres of Diamonds" the moral is we are surrounded by opportunity and we don't have to go elsewhere to find our fortune.

    Yes you are right it's a very similar to having a list that knows, likes and trusts you

    See, not all vets are money grubbers <G>. Glad your cat is doing well. My daughter is desperate for a Ragdoll, she has seen a few when she has come to work with me, but we have four dogs and that's enough for now.

      Oh, Audrey, you should come along to the Nationals at Deception Bay on Sunday, you will see the most stunning Ragdolls in the country as well as lots of other breeds.

    I might just be able to do that, Infomaniacs - where is it being held, and what time? It might be squeezy as my daughter has a dancing competition at lunchtime, but we'll try.

    If I take another animal home, my hubby will leave, and I can't cook! :-)

    Yep, the pet niche is always popular, and the pet industry is one of the few that are coping well with the current financial climate.

    I actually use these types of stories (my interactions with random people that can benefit from my products) in my sales letters. AB testing have proved it the best method for one of my products. Here is an example...no spam..intended for sample: http://www.howtorentyourhousenow.com/
