Yes, Des, Oh, how I dislike this awkward moment, but it happens to everyone. My Google is an hour off on my iphone, and no one can tell me why. It causes a lot of trouble, if I don’t double check. Good idea to have a Sunday night system.

I feel this is one of the exact reasons people don't get seen on Google is because they fail to post content that is concise and to the point. You are absolutely right about this, and in turn it affects their ranking on Google so then they become an irrelevant source. I found something that might interest you to make a piggy back article on. This describes how to be more relevant and write easier to understand language. The perfect article

Great introspective article Des! Yes, just like in sales, there is a sorting and sifting process to find the right customer or the right subscriber in your case. Lots of people are curious and sign-up for stuff and then latter figure out it’s not exactly what they were looking for. That “rejection” isn’t really rejection, it’s just an admission that it’s not the right fit. That’s really part of the process in sales and in developing an on-line following too. Just like in sales, you can’t take it personally – it’s part of the process of finding the right people; letting the wrong people realize it’s not a good fit.

I encounter this phenomenon all the time when people sign up on my web site to learn more about my home business opportunity. When they find out more, it’s not exactly what some were looking for and they decline. However, the golden nuggets I do find in my sorting and sifting process are true gold and make the process very lucrative for all parties involved. The key to understand is what you have is not for everyone, then you won’t see it as “rejection”.

All the best,

Jackie

Comment on Being Busy is OK, but it’s not an Excuse for Discourtesy by Jackie Christiansen

Great article Des! Yes, the soft “no” or list of excuses is a form of avoidence. It’s sometimes out of politeness, and other times the desire to avoid conflict. Someties the “take away” is the best way to deal with these people. Just like with child psychology, people like this often respond when you say “this might not be for you” – beacuse they want to control whether they’re in or not – not have you decide. They might come back with “well I might be interested”.

I will often use the “take away” in situations like this, and if it doesn’t work, they weren’t going to do anything anyway – nothing lost. See these excuses for what they are – avoiding having to make a decision. Then help them realize they will be making a decision, and it might be better to understand what they could be passing up.

All the best ot your success,

Jackie
