I love it when I hear rookies talking about Robert Cialdini and his law of reciprocity.<\/p>\n

You know that one, right?<\/p>\n

From his book, \u201cInfluence: The Psychology of Persuasion\u201d?<\/p>\n

People who don\u2019t know any better treat it like marketing gospel.<\/p>\n

They think they need to give away lots of stuff free to \u201cbuild a relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then allegedly your prospect will feel a need to reciprocate by buying your stuff.<\/p>\n

How about we see what Cialdini himself thinks about his \u201claw\u201d of reciprocity.<\/p>\n

You can find this out for yourself if you\u2019ll simply inquire about hiring him to speak at one of your events.<\/p>\n

First of all, he will NEVER talk to you. You\u2019ll only speak with an agent.<\/p>\n

Secondly, it\u2019s $20,000 for a one-hour presentation.<\/p>\n

Non-negotiable.<\/p>\n

100% paid in advance.<\/p>\n

You also must provide first class travel and at least 4-star hotel accommodations.<\/p>\n

He will not mingle with you or your attendees before or after his speech.<\/p>\n

In fact, he will only show up minutes before his scheduled time in a limo, which you will be required to provide.<\/p>\n

He will leave immediately afterwards.<\/p>\n

If you want to use his likeness to promote the event, that\u2019s an additional $5,000 licensing fee.<\/p>\n

You will also be required to purchase a copy of his book for all attendees. But he will not be available for autographs.<\/p>\n

Do you see any \u201creciprocity\u201d in any of that?<\/p>\n

I sure don\u2019t… and there\u2019s a very good reason why.<\/p>\n

Because it\u2019s a shitty way of running a business. And it attracts the WORST possible customers.<\/p>\n

And it’s totally unnecessary… IF you know how to sell.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s exactly what I reveal in The Doberman Dan Letter.<\/em><\/p>\n

I show you one of my most successful secrets for selling a TON of products… without the \u201claw\u201d of reciprocity… and even if you\u2019re a half-assed copywriter.<\/p>\n

Because there\u2019s just ONE THING you need to get right… and you can make millions.<\/p>\n

Even with mediocre copy.<\/p>\n

And you\u2019re gonna get my entire step-by-step system for getting this \u201cone thing\u201d right… time after time.<\/p>\n

Well, you\u2019ll get it IF you\u2019re a knight in my Marketing Camelot.<\/p>\n

Click here to check it out<\/a>…<\/p>\n

It would be great to \u201cknight\u201d you if you think you’re up for it.<\/p>\n

All the best,
\nDoberman Dan<\/p>\n\"dobedansig\"<\/a>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

P.S. Ask ALL of the IM gurus (95% who are now out of business) how well that \u201claw\u201d of reciprocity thang worked out for them.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know about you, but if I\u2019m going to have to work… I sure as hell don\u2019t want to work for free.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m here to tell ya… there\u2019s a better way.<\/p>\n
