Chip Tarver on the Fear of Knowledge
By Chip Tarver
Background:
I'm really going to try not to get on my soapbox and preach in this article...
And even though it is sort of 'a rant' - I'll do my best to keep that under control, too. But I'm PO'd...
The Reason
The reason I'm writing it is I just got ripped off again by someone who bought my FCS product (see http://www.firstcontactsecrets.com).
The first time this happened, someone bought the FCS course, read it, threw it in a box, and returned it. Their accompanying letter said, 'I can't afford it."
My two thoughts then were:
1. Then why did you buy it?
2. You can't afford not to keep it and do what it teaches. Relationships are the real keys to the rest of your life, and you are absolutely doomed without them.
Now this second rip-off, this time from the UK, sends back my FCS course. By the way, two returns out of 88 sales would normally be considered great.
Today
So I get the course back with a letter saying that "he didn't learn anything new." That might be the stupidest and most damaging statement you'll ever believe or say.
I've had multi-millionaires buy FCS. I have excellent testimonials from people about how wonderful the course is.
Lots of people have called and written me just to say, "Thank you."
If 86 out of 88 people think the course is valuable enough to keep, learn from, and use - what do you think it says about the other 2 people?
They just don't get it...
The Truth?
The first guy could have been telling the truth - I'll never know and it does not matter. The second guy is just a doomed, arrogant mooch.
Why would I sound do mean?
Forget the return of my course. I really don't care. I never want anyone to have it that cannot see the obvious value in long-term, profitable relationship building.
This person doesn't have a clue how to do this stuff.
The real issue is his comment: "I didn't learn anything new."
Wow - 43 people who have sold over $5,000,000,000.00 (yes - that's five billion dollars) in goods and services gave 'their all' in "First Contact Secrets."
When someone says they didn't learn anything new, I have to assume that they've had MORE THAN five billion in sales if they learned nothing new from real people who have really done it.
This person should have been invited to be a contributor to FCS. I wonder why I never heard of this apparently hugely successful guy? How could I possibly have overlooked such an obvious genius?
Why?
The Bottom Line
Because he's full of crap and doomed to failure. Yes - I meant that. The first day you think you know it all, you've signed your own marketing death certificate.
Whether you pay $20 or $20,000 for a product, if you go into it with a positive attitude, find just ONE idea that will help you, and compute the value of that idea over the full course of your life...
You'd have to buy something totally worthless to not get your money's worth. And that's the truth - whether you like it or not.
Why?
People with real experience laugh at this person behind his back, and to his face. They call people like this 'a joke' and refuse to work with them.
This type of person is the absolute worst client who you'll wish later you'd charged three times as much to offset the constant aggravation.
If you're ever stuck with a know-it-all you'll wish you weren't [just the truth.]
Moral Of The Story
1. Never buy something you don't need TODAY.
2. Buy with the anticipation of gain, not the smug satisfaction of the confirmation that you already know it all (if you're so smart, you should be producing fabulous products for the less fortunate Internet community to buy.)
3. Understand that one little change in what you do, compounded with its trickle-through effect on conversion and sales, can literally mean hundreds of thousands of dollars to you over the life of your business.
4. More than all of this - be honest. Be fair. Don't steal people's intellectual property by buying it, reading it, and returning it.
5. Remember above all - you reap what you sow. Neither you nor anyone else can stop that Law.
You decide.
