My daughter’s school choir wasn’t behaving well, and her teacher wasn’t happy…

“You lot are a disgrace,” he said. “You only behave properly when there are visitors here. I went to another school last week, and you should have seen those children…well-behaved, polite, and a pleasure to be around. Not like you lot. Why can’t you be like that?”

There was silence in the room, until one young girl aged seven had the courage to raise her hand…

“Yes,” said the teacher, more than a little irritated. 

“But Sir,” she protested, “you WERE the visitor!”

The seven-year-old had identified what millions of adults fail to grasp ~ that the grass only seems greener on the other side of the fence. When you get to look at it properly, more often than not it’s just as brown and weed-ridden as yours.

Most people are keen to create a positive impression. That means they tend to play up the good stuff, and hide or suppress the negative when presenting to others. As an outsider, you rarely get a realistic impression. You’re not going to get a true picture of their school…

And you’re not going to get a true picture of their business either.

I speak to many people who are running one business or enterprise, but want to switch to another because it looks easier with less problems, nicer customers and higher profits. But they should always bear in mind that as a ‘visitor’, they can’t possibly see the full picture. That can only come when they get right on the inside, and stay there for some time – when they get beneath the veneer to what lies beneath.

People who don’t do that, spend their lives being seduced by new veneer, only to be disappointed by harsh reality. And then they repeat the same cycle over and over.

Has this ever happened to you?

I think the key is to understand that in most situations, you’re the ‘visitor’, and to treat what you hear, see and experience accordingly. That doesn’t mean replacing open-mindedness with cynicism, but it does mean abandoning the rose-tinted specs.

Equally importantly, it means fairly evaluating and appreciating what you already have. It’s a shame if you have to go to the trouble of clambering over the fence, before you can appreciate how green your own grass really is.

And sometimes, the climb back over, is less than straightforward.

Dear Streetwise Customer,

Once or twice a year I receive exceptional quality information and a few months ago one of these rare and very special documents landed on my desk.

It revealed an amazing system which is making its author an absolute fortune and a large sum of money was asked for in exchange for the information.

   An agreement was reached whereby I could share the information with Streetwise customers, but first I insisted on ‘proving’ the system and so I asked 25 of my customers to test this for us.

   The results have been nothing less than astonishing. Every single one of my 25 testers has reported fantastic success!

   Consequently I signed the deal and now I am delighted to be able to share this information with you. Please do not pass this on to anyone else because this information truly is TOP SECRET. It is just for you and Streetwise’s best customers and no-one else.

We authorised just 50 copies to be printed for our best customers only. At the time of writing we only have 16 copies left and one of these is waiting for you to claim it.

…and you’ll discover why I am so excited about this incredible winning system and what’s going to happen next.

Best Wishes,

John Harrison

I want to tell you about what sounds like the worst business in the world…

Most of the people you approach with your product simply aren’t interested. Some are downright rude – hurling gratuitous abuse in your direction. Others simply ignore you altogether. A few have the good manners to say “no thank you”, but not many.

And if you’re very lucky, perhaps one or two out of every 100 you approach, will buy from you. But even some of those will ask for their money back.

Sounds horrible doesn’t it? I’m not so sure though…

You see, many years ago I worked in a business that seemed a whole lot better. Most of the people I dealt with were at least polite and one in four that I approached, placed an order. There was no abuse and nobody asked for their money back.

Sound better?

Well maybe, except that second business never made any money and the sense of rejection from those three out of four who didn’t order, was awful. That first business made me a millionaire, and I never got to experience one ounce of rejection from those 99 out of 100 who effectively told me to go away.

In case you haven’t guessed, the big difference between the two businesses is in the method of marketing. In that second business it was all done face to face, and every time-consuming rejection came like a knee to the groin. In that first business, everything was done remotely via direct mail or advertisements.

It’s an environment where a rejection consumes neither time nor ego ~ other than for the odd lunatic who scrawls “F*** Off!” (or something equally witty) on your order form before sending it back.

And that’s pretty easy to live with when you’re sitting on a sack of money.

Direct response marketing allows you to replicate yourself thousands of times over, and then despatch yourself out to the world in the form of advertisements, direct mailing pieces and webpages. Some hit home, others crash and burn. It doesn’t matter a jot.

All that does matter is the final tally. The crash and burns don’t hurt at all, but there’s great joy in the hits. Because they’re pretty much all you see.

So I think I’ll stick with the ‘worst business in the world’ for now. And if you want to get rich (and like me have a fragile ego the size of a house) then I think you should consider it too.  

Do get in touch if you’d like me to point you in the right direction.

Kind Regards

Dear Streetwise Customer,

  It didn’t come as a surprise to me when 2 banks intervened and literally blocked their customers from hearing from me, even though everything I was saying is 100% legal.

  That’s because I’ve been exposing how the banks constantly take advantage of the little guy.

But now the tables have turned…

  I doubled my money by legally intercepting unofficial bank messages.

  But the best part is that banks can’t stop us from milking this over and over again!

  And now I’m giving you the opportunity to copy me…

  Just give me a few minutes of your time.

If, like me, you find time passing by ever more quickly, then I’ve found a solution. Get yourself a rowing machine. I’ve had one for quite some time now, and its effect on the passage of time is quite extraordinary.

Flop into your favourite armchair to watch a TV programme, and half an hour passes before you know it. But set the timer to 30 minutes on the rowing machine, and it’s like time is standing still. If you could somehow re-create that effect across your whole life, you’d live to about 297…or at least it would feel like it.

And it has another strange effect too, because it’s turned me into an obsessive reader of food labels.

You see, the rower has a computer which measures the calories burned during exercise. I know for example, that I burn about 400 calories in half an hour. Remember, this isn’t a regular half-hour. It’s a rowing machine half-hour, which is a lot longer. So when I look at the label on a cream cake, and it tells me there are 425 calories in it, you can bet your life that I’m going to think very carefully about whether I really want it…

Because I know ‘the price’ ~ more than half an hour’s hard labour on that bloody machine.

Now I know a lot of people think this sort of behaviour is a little extreme, but to me it seems perfectly logical. I mean, when you go into a shop, do you not look at the price (what you’ll have to give up) before deciding whether to buy? Do you not compare the prices of different items to see which offers the best value?

Well I do the same thing in Marks and Spencer when I look at the number of calories in two different ready-made sandwiches ~ the tuna mayonnaise costs me 22 minutes while the BLT costs me 47. No contest.

I doubt that you have a great deal of interest in my diet, but I think this idea of knowing the ‘price’ can have wider implications. It can certainly be a very powerful tool of persuasion.

If you’re trying to persuade someone to take or avoid a particular course of action, then spelling out the overt or hidden price of going against what you want, can be very effective. That could be a financial price, an inconvenience price, a hard work price, a health price, a personal freedom price, a status price or something else.

The point is that by not doing what you want, there will be a price. You need to spell out exactly what that price is. Because, like most people when they eat a cream bun, they don’t know what the price is.

This is something that can be effective in all forms of communication: socially, at home, in the workplace, and of course in sales and marketing situations. It doesn’t matter whether you’re selling by mail, on line, by telephone or face-to-face. Highlighting the negative consequences ~ the price ~ of not taking the action you want, can pay off in a big way.

And as I’ve found, when you’re selling to yourself (and that’s what you’re doing when you try to forego high calorie foods) it helps if you have a very clear focus on the price of going against your own internal pitch.

Without a clear picture of the price, there’s no means of quantifying and comparing the benefit.

Kind Regards

1. You must not leave the house for any reason, but, if you have a reason, you can leave the house.

2. Masks are useless at protecting you against the virus, but you may have to wear one because it can save lives, but they may not work, but they may be mandatory, but maybe not. 

3. Shops are closed, except for those shops that are open.

4. You should not go to the doctor’s or to the hospital unless you have to go there, unless you are too poorly to go there.

5. This virus can kill people, but don’t be scared of it. It can only kill those people who are vulnerable or those people who are not vulnerable. It’s possible to contain and control it, sometimes, except that sometimes it actually leads to a global disaster.

6. Gloves won’t help, but they can still help, so wear them sometimes, or not.

7. There is no shortage of groceries in the supermarkets, but there are many things missing or in short supply. You shouldn’t buy loo rolls, but you should buy some just in case you need some. They won’t run out in supermarkets, but, if they do, don’t buy them.

8. The virus has no effect on children, except those children it affects.

9. Animals are not affected, but there was a cat that tested positive in Belgium in February when no-one had been tested, plus a few tigers here and there.

10. Stay 2 metres away from tigers. Also stay 2 metres away from people, as they might also be dangerous for many reasons as well as infectious – but probably more dangerous and more likely to be infectious than a tiger.

11. You could have many symptoms if you get the virus, but you can also get symptoms without getting the virus, get the virus without having any symptoms or be contagious without having symptoms, or be non-contagious with symptoms. If you do have symptoms, these can vary from mild to severe – just like most other illnesses. You might not even notice that you have symptoms, but you might die, which you probably will notice and others in your household will also notice.

12. To help protect yourself you should eat well and exercise. Eat whatever you have on hand, as it’s better not to go to the shops, unless you need toilet roll or a fence panel.

13. It’s important to get fresh air, but don’t sit down, except if you are old, but not for too long, or if you are pregnant, or if you’re not old or pregnant but need to sit down. If you do sit down, don’t eat your picnic, unless you have a picnic with you – in which case – you can eat it.

14. Don’t visit old people, but you have to take care of the old people and bring them food and medication, so do visit them regularly.

15. You can’t see your elderly mother or grandmother, but they can take a taxi and meet an elderly taxi driver or a young taxi driver. You can see your elderly relatives through a window – a bit like the taxi driver does.

16. The virus remains active on different surfaces for two hours … or four hours … or six hours … I mean days, not hours. But it needs a damp environment. Or a cold environment that is warm and dry. It also remains in the air, but only for short periods as long as the air is not in contact with plastic.

17. If you need to home-educate your children, you can start drinking alcohol at 10am if you wish.

18. If you are not home educating children, you can also start drinking at 10am.

19. The number of corona-related deaths will be announced daily but we don’t know how many people are infected as they are only testing those who are almost dead to find out if that’s what they will die of. If they actually do die, we won’t waste the test on them, so we might not know if that is why they died. Therefore, the people who die of corona aren’t counted, won’t or will be counted, but maybe not and probably will not be, but will.

20. We should stay in locked down until the virus stops infecting people, but it will only stop infecting people if we all get infected, so it’s important we get infected and some don’t get infected and maybe never will.

21. No business will collapse due to coronavirus, except those businesses that will collapse due to coronavirus.

22. You can have dates in supermarket queues during your necessary food shopping trip, if they happen to coincide and if you use the same supermarket, but you must not queue together, but you shouldn’t go on dates unless it is absolutely necessary.

We hope that makes things clearer for you.

Kind Regards

Dear Streetwise Customer

I hope that you and your family are well. 

I don’t have to tell you that the Coronavirus outbreak has changed everything, and nowhere more so than in the world of sports betting. With almost all our regular ‘go to’ profit makers like European football, horse racing and golf on hold, you might be excused for thinking that the opportunity to make a lucrative extra income from sports betting was gone – at least for now. 

That’s what we thought until we heard from a guy called Craig Russell and how he was…

Making an extra £150-£250 a week exploiting the ‘invisible’ betting opportunities exposed by the Coronavirus mayhem.

You see Craig isn’t your typical sports bettor. Long before anyone had heard of coronavirus, he was shunning the sort of events most of us bet on in favour of little-known sports, events and fixtures taking place in obscure locations.

Why did he concentrate on those? 

Because he figured that the less ‘pro’s’  there  were  looking  at  these  obscure markets, and the more time he spent studying them, the greater edge he’d have over the competition. 

Obvious when you think about it. 

So why this message? 

Because it seems like now is the perfect time to bring this to a wider audience…but not much wider! 

You see, in conjunction with Craig we’ve put together a totally unique service which is tailor-made for the times we find ourselves in. But there will only be 100 places available. Ever.

For full details on what’s involved and why the limit, take a LOOK NOW.

If an extra couple of hundred pounds tax-free income would be worthwhile to you right now, I’d urge you to get in touch without delay. These places are really going to go fast.

There’s no excuse for staying sober these days…there really isn’t.

I went into my local mini-market the other day, to find the cheapest bottle of booze in the shop. I did have my reasons, but they’d take too long to explain. Suffice to say that it had nothing to do with falling on hard times or being a raging alcoholic.

Anyway, I didn’t have to look too far to find what I was looking for…a two litre plastic bottle of 7% white cider for £2.06. And this is in Sainsbury’s! I’m sure those ‘in the know’ will tell me that I’ve been had ~ that I could have got it a lot cheaper somewhere else ~ but to me, it seemed a ridiculously small amount of money to pay.

Given that a large proportion of the population drink alcohol with no higher ambition than to get drunk, you’d expect that this is the sort of stuff that everyone would be buying. It probably doesn’t taste much different to the alternatives, (no, I didn’t drink it) and will certainly fulfil the brief as far as getting drunk is concerned. And yet the only people I’ve ever seen buying this sort of thing, are youths in hoodies and middle-aged blokes in second-hand suits who promptly drink it straight out of the bag.

Why is this?

When I studied economics, many years ago, one of the few useful things I remember is the concept of reverse elasticity of demand. With most products, as price increases, demand falls. But some products are different. If you lower the price, then you also lower demand as well – particularly amongst certain groups of consumers. There can be several reasons for this:

.  A low price is equated with unacceptably low quality.

.  Image is a key factor with many products. Cheaper products have a poorer image.

.  Products are bought as gifts. Nobody wants to look a cheapskate.

Would you want to take a £2 bottle of booze to a party? I did, but then I’m a little bit strange. I must confess to being even a little embarrassed buying it in the shop though.

The point I want to make is about price – and most specifically the prices you charge for your products or services. It’s very easy to get locked into a mindset that says that lower prices will lead to higher sales, or conversely that higher prices will result in lower sales. The truth is far more complex than that. It depends on the characteristics of your product, how it’s marketed and who you’re attempting to sell it to.

Very few businesses do enough testing of the effect of a change in price. Those that do are often surprised to find that the effect is not what they expect. It’s totally counter-intuitive to think that an increase in price might actually boost sales, but in the right circumstances, it can. And you won’t know whether this applies to you, until you test.

Now you might decide that you’re happy to continue selling to your market’s equivalent of hoodies and vagrants. It might be a very lucrative market for you. But the option to do something different ~ to find a larger market at a different price point may be there.

In the case of the white cider I bought the other day, it might take little more than some new packaging, and a more sophisticated label to double or treble the price, and find a whole new market…

Because where pricing is concerned, image and perception are what really matter. 

Kind Regards
