How to get a free hour of consulting with yours crotchety

I despise doing consulting or coaching. Much more profitable & fun to sell my own offers for my own businesses. i.e., be a coach/consultant for my own companies. But a couple times per year or so I poke my head out and offer to do it. And when I do, I don’t even ask for a fee or any money whatsoever. Instead, I make the special deal below. A deal that, admittedly is not something most on my list qualify for. But the few who do and take advantage of the opportunity tend to walk away happy campers indeed. Anyway, here’s the deal: If you qualify (and no, I won’t be making an “exception” for anyone who doesn’t qualify — even asking to be an exception shows how unprepared one is for such a deal anyway), I’ll give you an hour of consulting about anything I’m qualified to talk about. Nothing held back, totally “uncut” and uncensored. Here’s how it works: 1. You must have an email list of at least 10,000 online business owners (that doesn’t have a lot of “overlap” of people with my list — otherwise, not much point) — who both would be interested in the kind of info I write about and sell, and also who hear from you regularly via email. If you are one of these boys or ghouls who only uses social media and never emails, it ain’t gonna happen. I cannot help you if that is the case because you don't even understand basic direct marketing 101 which is all roads lead to a list of some kind. So that weeds out probably 99% of people reading this. 2. You mail your list first, show me proof, then we do the consult. 3. You may record and use the consult as content, a bonus/premium, even sell it if you want… it’s all yours, and will be recorded on your zoom or whatever, not by me. To give you an idea of how it can be used, one taker even once turned it into a live group call for his mastermind. (They "beamed" me in to the room via Zoom.) And another had me on a giant group coaching call earlier this year. Your imagination for using it is the limit. But the deadline definitely is a limit. In this case you must respond to this by tomorrow (Sunday 8/11) by midnight EDT. Didn't see this email until after the deadline? That’s just too bad. Not reading my emails immediately upon arrival is forbidden... Either way, I obviously won’t be doing this for very many people. Frankly, if nobody reading this qualifies, I will not lose sleep over it. The first time I did this offer a few years ago the list size minimum to qualify was 5,000. I have long since doubled it to protect my time and curate out the wannabes. To get the ball rolling do this: 1. Reply back to this email before tomorrow night’s deadline. 2. Include ALL the specifics about what kind of business people are on your list, what they like to buy/learn, size of it, and how often you mail it. Do not send me your sales pages or anything else - critiques, "quick look", etc is not what the consulting entails. If your list sounds like a good match for this, we’ll make it happen. If not? We won’t. Ben Settle P.S. While you are pondering — or not pondering — this offer, I also highly suggest getting a free BerserkerMail test drive. No credit card is needed.
