A good one in fact, it’s so good that they have used this for a number of years now. - The flyer that they sent out may look like a winners notice, but actually, it is nothing more then just a well disguised trap that plays on human greed. If you read everything on that piece of paper carefully, you will find that you did not win anything at all. It is just a bait to make you go for the sales presentation, so that it would be easier to use their con skills to reel you deeper into their trap. - The “presenter” is trained to sell in a particular fix pattern and rules to ensure a smooth path towards reeling in the customer. The “price” of the membership is never revealed until they have completed their “product presentation”. That’s the brain washing session. After the price is revealed, they will start to play the psychological price cuts game to give you an impression that you are getting the membership at a bargain or huge discount. The objective is to play on your greed or maybe your fears (example: how much you will loose by using tour agency for vacation travel). - After all the tricks have been used on you and it still does not get you to buy that piece of crap membership, you will be shown to collect your supposedly winning prize. But wait, why do you still need to pay “shipping fees” or “handling fee” or whatever crap they termed it to get the winning prize? Are you not in a way “paying” for the cost of the prize instead of receiving it free? By paying the fees, you are sort of buying the prize from them instead of receiving it free. This whole setup, achieve a few things: - Make you waste your time and transport cost to present to you their crappy product. - Use multiple sales people to take turn to “hard-sell” to you in an enclosed/undisturbed (from outside) room till you sign on the dotted line. - Make you pay for prizes that you are supposed to receive for free if you failed to sign up for the membership. All this with just a well crafted flyer that you should have carefully read through before acting on it. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
