    Don't make people feel you are trying to trick them

    MARKETING 
    This is going to be a very short rant. I receive a number of messages through Linkedin and other social channels every week. I read almost all of them, not because they are (mostly) good copywriting but I am obsessed to see why they suck and make me feel like somebody tries to trick me : )...

    Trying to live UNSCRIPTED

    INTRO

When I call with a very short, generic, non-personalized script (with the intent of getting an appointment) I go through a lot of "no's" but I...
