A couple weeks ago, I wrote an email with the subject line “Nasty followup.”
That was about a potential auction partner who was stringing me along. He kept pushing off the test for our potential auction, first to next week, then the week after that.
I sent that potential auction partner a slightly snarky message, hence the “Nasty followup” subject line.
My potential auction partner didn’t get offended at my slightly snarky message. He replied to me in a cheerful way. But once again, he told me to push off our auction test until the end of what is now last month.
At the end of last month, I followed up with him again.
At this point, he didn’t reply any more. A few days later, I followed up again. He still didn’t reply.
And then last night, I was going through Nick Bandy’s Ghostbuster Sequence v2.0, which Nick just rolled out yesterday to existing buyers.
Of course v2.0 is bigger than v1.0, but I was genuinely impressed by how cool of a product it is now.
Nick includes some sample case studies in the back. I picked out a message from one of those case studies and sent it to my mostly dead potential auction partner.
And you know what?
After two+ weeks of silence, the dude got back to me! Amazing! Exciting! Incredible! He wrote me to say:
“Hey buddy! Let’s do next month?”
… in other words, more flakiness, more maybe, more mañana.
I’m telling you this for two reasons:
1) I wanna be transparent about the realities of 1-1 follow-up.
Sometimes you send one message after months, and the deal gets immediately and magically done. Ch-ching!
Other times, like here, you get somebody who is a flake to keep stringing you along. But if it’s a partnership worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars (as this has the potential to be), it warrants at least sending some messages to push it along or to find out for sure it will never happen.
2) After I got the “Let’s do next month?” reply, I sent Nick Bandy a message. I told Nick his next offer should be about converting people who keep saying “maybe” into people who tell you a clear yes/no. Working title, “Flakebuster Sequence.”
I’m glad I wrote Nick, because he gave me a great recommendation. He suggested I send his “Stage 7” message next, which I called the “Mr. America” technique in my email earlier today.
I’ll wait a couple days and then do exactly as Nick says, and maybe even report on the results of it.
But by the time that happens, it will be too late for you, at least if you’re looking to get Nick’s Ghostbuster Sequence (v2.0!) before the price doubles, today at 8pm EST.
Yes, you will still be able to buy Ghostbuster Sequence next week. But why spend more? And why wait? Mañana, mañana, mañana…

P.S. If you do get it before the deadline, forward me your receipt. I will personally send you a bonus of equal real-world value, My Secret of the Magi.
