Making Money Online When The Prospect Names His Own Price
By: Jim Green
I?m a plain man when it comes to making money online; I just do what I do and try to make an honest buck wherever I can without upsetting anyone.
Now and again though fate steps in and sends you a prospect where you have to figure out for yourself where he or she is coming from and where in fact they think they?re heading.
I got one such prospect a few weeks ago in the shape of Rocco, a gentle giant from Brooklyn.
How do I know Rocco is a giant?
He emailed a picture of himself towering over his significant other and some friends.
How do I know he?s gentle?
Read on?
Rocco emailed me expressing interest in three of my products but he didn?t want them in digital format (which would have cost him $107 in total) he wanted hard copy.
I suggested CD formatting.
He got back to me saying, ?No, I don?t want CDs, I want hard copy. I?ll pay a grand?
So now I thought, loony tunes, but I emailed Rocco back intimating that if he deposited $200 in my PayPal account I?d give him what he wanted; hard copy on all three products
I reckoned I would hear no more but the following morning on checking my PayPal account I discovered to my astonishment that one thousand dollars had been deposited.
I can?t take this man?s money I protested and I told him so.
Rocco got back to me within the hour.
His brusque message read, ?I said a grand, I meant a grand, so take a grand?.
So I took Rocco?s grand.
Wouldn?t you?
I mean who wants to be emailed to death?
The moral:
Never assume you know better than prospects ? or what they are prepared to pay ? and why. Maybe Rocco has a sight problem beyond my ken or maybe he finds it difficult to read from a computer screen. I will never know for sure but this I do know. Rocco is delighted with the hard copy he craved.
He told me so? in yet another email.
