You'll find that the service is swell.
Now you needn't be shy.

- The Villainous Spider Hotel Owner to the flies needing lodging
"The Cobweb Hotel"
Over the years, I've found many of the more obsessed trekkies to be a bit disturbing. And it doesn't help to read about how many times authorities happen to find rooms and closets full of Star Trek memorabilia in the homes of people who get busted for violating children.
But, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some great Star Trek stories.
And, also, great lessons of persuasion in Star Trek.
Take the mechanisms of how they “beam” over to other ships in the shows and movies. At least, in the programs I’ve seen, when a ship has its shields up, nobody can beam over. The only way to beam over to another ship is to win their trust enough to get them to lower those shields. i.e. if it sounds like someone is going to beam over and start plugging the passengers with phaser fire, they probably ain’t going to lower them shields.
Well, guess what?
It’s the exact same thing when trying to persuade anyone to do anything you want.
Whether it’s to buy something from you.
Get them to vote for you.
Or just listen to an idea.
In any of these cases, your first “sale” is to win a hearing and trust. To get them to lower their “shields” so to speak, so they will hear you out in the first place.
And there is an extremely powerful Villainous Weapon of Persuasion for doing this.
A method hardly anyone has the balls to do.
And, that takes a bit of faith in your abilities.
But, it’s probably the single most reliable way to get someone to open your emails, read your sales copy, listen to your client proposals, hear your ideas out, or even go to that movie you want them to see — or any other thing you want to persuade someone to do.
It is something that can open a mind snapped shut due to skepticism.
It’s also something I go into great detail about in my new book:
“Villainous Weapons Of Persuasion”
I show you many examples of this “in action.”
Not just from some of my favorite Villains.
(One of the best examples I ever saw of it was from a Villain in the NetFlix Daredevil series.)
But also in “real life” you can use to study, model, and adapt.
The book launches this weekend until Sunday, 8/11 at midnight EDT.
If you buy it and send me your receipt (not just buy the book — but forward your receipt by the deadline, too), I will also give you a valuable bonus:
“The Stefania Files: Volume 3”
This is a playlist of over 2 hours of advanced marketing, business, and copywriting lessons I taught my woman Stefania for her ongoing marketing & business education.
Some of the secrets inside include:
* Little-known psychological & neurological insights into how to create an offer.
* The WebMD secret to making even your blatant sales pitches fascinating and hard to resist buying from. (Believe it or not, people love sales pitches that do this, will spend hours reading those pitches, and even crave having what those pitches are offering - including sometimes even shelling out whatever price you ask if you do this right.)
* Advice to real estate agents who want to immediately close more sales and be the only agent anyone wants to buy from in town (yes, even on your very next deal).
* How to position yourself as a genius in your niche/market/industry without giving a single solution or doing any hard teaching or sharing any value whatsoever.
* Earl Nightingale’s advice for businesses who have convinced themselves they need to be on Facebook and want to make more sales on there. (You won’t get any of the likes or validation or ego boosts you’re seeking, but sales should roll in hot and heavy.)
* How to use an X-acto knife to significantly increase your speed of learning new information.
* A clever way of tricking your brain into not procrastinating building your email list.
* Secret ways for instantly building your will power without hypnosis, affirmations, or other silly gimmicks.
* The shooting pool success secret of an infamous MLM convict who the world despises and hates.
* A centuries-old sales technique for writing email subject lines people can’t ignore.
* How to use email subject lines to slice clean through lead apathy and skepticism.
* How to delete peoples’ overwhelming desire to delete your emails on sight.
* The dumb mistake 99% of marketers make that guarantees you bore people into ignoring your emails, social media posts, books, eBooks, videos, podcasts, and other content.
* The Aristotle marketing & content-creation secret used by shallow politicians who are fawned over by voters and the media… to get elected over deep thinking politicians who are ignored by voters and the media.
* Non-legal advice for keeping health offer sales copy, emails, and other marketing as compliant & safe as you can from government meddling and attacks. (If you sell anything health or money-related I suggest listening to this particular video more than once — it could potentially save you from a lot of heartache and pain.)
* How to make even your most outrageous (assuming they are true…) sales letter claims more believable and credible.
* How the world’s greatest living copywriter got a 200+% increase in response by making a headline objectively *weaker*.
* A computer scientist’s secret for “leveraging” Google and Facebook’s vast customer databases to make your sales letters, lead generation ads, and squeeze pages more responsive.
* How to start knowing what products and services to sell your list before they even know they want them.
* A reclusive A-list copywriter you’ve probably never heard of’s secret tip for automatically building a stronger brand, stronger sales, and a stronger relationship with your customers.
* A “counter intuitive” strategy for taking the sting out of high lead generation and product fulfillment fees.
* How a gas station dominated its market by charging almost twice as much for gas as all its competitors.
* And the list goes on, and on, and on…
Again, for the the I'll-get-it-later Charlies who like to procrastinate:
The deadline to get these videos is Sunday, 8/11 at midnight EDT.
You must buy send me your receipt (not just buy the book) by that time, or no videos for you. Since I have nothing but contempt for procrastinators, and take a sadistic pleasure in denying them things they want… I wouldn’t put this off if you want this offer.
Especially since, Amazon is notorious for not sending customer receipts right away.
