I'll be on CNBC's The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch on Tue., July 1 at 10pm Eastern. The show topic is The Art of Sales. It's a good one. Watch to the end to see what your "naughty bits" have to do with selling. It's pretty funny.

All live events 60% off for the next 24 hours (only $27.72/hour)Posted by: Michael Port
|
Wanted to let you know that I'm holding a 24-hour only FireSale for the Book Yourself Solid and Beyond Booked Solid live events coming up in Philly, Miami, LA, Dallas, and Vancouver, BC.
What's a FireSale? In this case, I'm offering crazy 60% OFF discounts on all events. That's right. Everyone gets alumni pricing at more than half off. Regular rate is $1199 but for the next 24-hours all seats cost only $499. That's only $249.50 per 9-hour day for a 2-day workshop with little 'ol me. Jeez, that's actually $27.72 per hour. Now, that's what my mother would call a bargain!
Choose your event (Philly, Miami, LA, Dallas, and Vancouver, BC).
(Select "Alumni" when you enroll. That will give you the 60% off discount.)
Have questions? Call me at 215-348-2453. You'll get me--not an assistant.
Why am I doing this? Because I know that money is tight in the service industries. So, I've set aside the next 24-hours for you to pay next to nothing to spend 2-days with me learning the complete Book Yourself Solid and/or Beyond Booked Solid systems. Check it out: you can even come to both Book Yourself Solid and Beyond Booked Solid for less than the regular price of one seminar!
Sign up. (Remember to select "Alumni" when you enroll so you get the 60% off discount.)
Not sure if you'll be able to make it but want to sign up? No problem.
Sign up today and get the big discount. You can get a FULL REFUND up to 7 days before the seminar starts. This way you can lock in your special discounted rate today with no risk at all.
If you have questions just call me today at 215-348-2453. That's my direct line.
If you HAVEN'T registered yet, you don't want to let this opportunity pass you by.
This is a 24-HOUR-ONLY sale.
I can't wait to see you at one of these inspiring, meaningful and truly connected workshops. It is my honor and privilege to serve you.
We can do more together than we can alone.

How NOT to do Direct OutreachPosted by: Michael Port
|
I received a well written (except for a spelling mistake but I have no use for a man who can only spell a word one way anyway) and respectful email today from a man I didn't know and wasn't familiar with. Here's the email with some sections blocked out to protect the innocent:
Dear Michael,
I would like to kindly request a testimonial from your good self for one of my products that I shall be launching very soon. I would sincerely appreciate if you could provide a line or two along with your photo, your website link and a one line bio.
The product is a subscription/newsletter that is focused on personal and business development in this new era of globalisation. It will be marketed under Name of Company with this website: www.mywebsite.com.
I will greatly be honoured if you could consider providing me with a testimonial as mentioned above and send it to myname@mydomain.com.
I shall look forward to your reply with great anticipation.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Peter (named changed)
What's wrong with this type of Direct Outreach? What did Peter do wrong? What should have Peter have done to achieve his goal? I've been talking about this for so long I'm asking you because I want to see if anyone is actually listening :)
Much love to you this fine day. Keep on doing big things in the world!

Face itPosted by: Michael Port
|
If you have something to say put your name, face and contact info behind it. The worst thing about the web is anonymity. If you want to do big things in the world you're going to have to deal with people who hide behind barriers and throw stones. But if you want to do big things in the world, then show up and stand for something. Your opinion is worthless if it's anonymous. But, that's just my opinion.

Book Yourself Solid & Beyond Booked Solid WorkshopsPosted by: Michael Port
|
Book Yourself Solid and Beyond Booked Solid workshops in Philadelphia, Miami, LA, Dallas, and Vancouver. (Workshop rates are super low and special alumni rates apply.)
I've decided that 2008 is the year for making things easier, more affordable, more productive and more profitable.
If you're interested in coming to a Book Yourself Solid or Beyond Booked Solid 2-day live workshop with me book it NOW. Space is extremely limited in each workshop and I guarantee they will all fill quickly. The workshops I do sell out with one or two emails. Again, no hype. Just the facts, jack. You can book now and if you need to change your plans you can get a refund or switch to a different workshop (see refund policy when registering).

When Elizabeth was doing some research for our new book titled The Contrarian Effect: Why It Pays (BIG) to Take Typical Sales Advice and Do The Opposite (Wiley, August '08) she stumbled upon this website. It shows you how to get around automated customer service systems so as to reach a real person. I freaking love it.
