Why I never shut up my yap about this “grand puba” of influence & persuasion

Long-time readers of my daily musings have heard me natter on and on and on and on for the past 16 years about the guy I consider the #1 “grand puba” when it comes to the art & game of influence & persuasion. The guy I am talking about is the inimitable: Jim Camp. He was known far and wise as “the world’s most-feared negotiator.” And almost every single thing he taught was just as applicable to direct marketing, copywriting, getting clients, making sales, and all-other ways to influence people to do your bidding as it does to hardcore negotiation. Unfortunately he joined the choir invisible back in 2014. But to say Jim merely “changed lives” would be a gigantic understatement. For example: He often had multiple billion dollar negotiations going on at any given time. Jim said in an interview once how the FBI changed their terrorist negotiation protocols based on what he taught them, especially during a time when terrorists were sawing off peoples’ heads and demanding cash & prizes. And the world’s most prestigious business schools (including Harvard, NYU, USC, UCLA, University of California, and Columbia) had at one time made his material “required reading” for their students. In my own business, for the past 16 years, practically every single email I’ve written, practically every single sales letter I’ve pounded out, practically ever podcast I’ve recorded, practically every public talk I’ve given, and practically every piece of content I’ve created (books, audio, video… you name it) has had Jim’s “fingerprints” plastered all over one way or the other. To me he was like the “Steve McQueen” of negotiation: A true master of his craft. A true revolutionary in his field. And, yes, a man who truly died way too young. That’s the bad news. The good news: My pal Michael Senoff had a chance before Jim’s death to get him on the phone and record an intense 4-hour, 174 question Q&A about Jim’s best methods and ideas, and packaged it into a a product that is — in my opinion, at least — some of the most powerful info you’ll ever hear on the subject of not only negotiation, but sales, the psychology of influence & persuasion (even if he didn’t particularly care for the term “persuasion”), and marketing. It’s sold for as much as $597.00, and I think that is what it is still listed as. Which brings me to the punchline: Until this Friday, 6/9 at midnight EDT you can have this $597 product for just… $20. This is a deal so generous it borders on ridiculous. And, I cannot imagine it not significantly making any marketer, any copywriter, any freelancer, any coach/consultant in business who carefully listens to it, intensely studies it (i.e., goes through it multiple times, not just “one-and-done” like amateurs do), and eagerly applies it make a ho bunch more sales, nab higher fees, and experience far greater success, while having more fun and peace of mind all around. Certainly has for me. And I believe it can for your business, too. Anyway, time is short on this offer. Do if you want it, hightail it immediately to my affiliate link below: [( Ben Settle P.S. The only other time I’ve directly sold this collection of Q&As was back in 2018. And shortly after we got these responses: Noah Goldman at the time said: “this camp shit is GOLD... decided to repromo it for you... with no benefit to me... thinking of maybe offering a free video like u do, or just payback a random buyer... already got one opt in for ya. (see below) thank you again for introing... the shit is the real. I'll probably promote at least one more time for you…” And Sara Hamilton wrote: “…The interviews are gold and I’m already applying what I heard-hopefully well lol.” And Kevin Stokes checked in: “I’m half way through the mp3. I cant believe you guys are selling this for only 20 bucks. Holy crap what a steal.” And "Email Players" subscriber Grace Henke proclaimed: "I just finished listening all the Q&As from this set, this time around listening to it definitely gave me a lot of different prospective when comes to mission and vision. I'm a dog trainer specialize in fearful, reactive dogs and I work with a lot of feral dogs (a lot of them are human or dog reactive and some of them have human bite records) and I offering premium programs to help the dogs to be more social and well-behaved, and have great tracking records with the dog's progress and results. While I've been learning not to "chase sells" and not to "offering discount" on the work I offer, which I've learned a lot of from you on that matter, after listening to Jim's interviews this round, I had even deeper understanding that my consultation call is about if working with the dog owners on the call are able to move my mission and vision forward, or it's simply against my mission. I'm also rethink my mission as well that I have realized that it wasn't clear enough before.” And "Email Players" subscriber John Pejchl minced no words when he said: “If anyone doesn't take advantage of this offer...they are an IDIOT!!!! I knew I was going to buy this yesterday when you sent your email. I'm in the middle of reading his first book. I'm blown away. I have his second book on my kitchen table ready to read. Thanks for making this available for me to buy” And so it goes. The deadline is Friday 6/9 at midnight EDT. That time will fly fast. If you like money then I don’t recommend procrastinating on this one… [( This email was sent by Ben Settle as owner of Settle, LLC. Copyright © 2024 Settle, LLC. All Rights Reserved.
