How To Avoid Big-Time Hassles

Dear Friend,

There are only a few things in this world I'll go out of my way to completely avoid getting involved with.

One of them is my ex-wife.

And another one of them is car dealerships.

So needless to say, every few years when one of us has to get a car... there's always some anxiety involved.

But this year, I figured out a way to make SURE I'd be treated a little differently.  I had to do something that would give me control over the car-buying process, and yet minimize the amount of contact I'd have with the salesman and dealership people in general, as well as slowing down all "follow up" phone calls, to a crawl.

Plus, since Anne was doing the legwork here, I had to keep the wolves at bay, knowing they'd try and rip her off as much as possible, since it seems women are more aggressively pursued and swindled by car dealers.

So, here's what I did.

Anne went around test-driving a few different makes and models she thought she might like.

After years of hauling kids around in mini-vans, although we still need a roomy vehicle, she wound up settling on something a little more "progressive" -- a Nissan Pathfinder.

Then I put my mind to work and here's the e-mail I drafted and sent out to 8 of the local dealerships.

This is an idea you can use to buy almost anything.  Here, check it out:

Wanna know what happened?

Well, quotes started coming in about 20 minutes after I sent out my inquiry.  I received about 10 different quotes -- some dealerships sent me TWO quotes when they didn't hear back from me after they sent me the first one, and one or two of the dealerships didn't respond at all.

Prices ranged from $439 dollars a month all the way down to...

$349 Dollars a month!

That's a pretty big spread, no?

I contacted the dealer I wanted to work with... had them FAX me the paperwork... and then they delivered the car to us, right to the front door of my house.

You can save a LOT of time and headaches doing things this way.

It was funny, because they wanted me to come in to sign the papers, but when I asked them "How do I benefit by coming in?"

They simply said... "O.K. -- no problem, we'll fax them to you."

I knew they were looking to upsell me in person and like I said, I just don't have patience for this -- I don't suffer fools easily.

Anyhow, you can use this technique to buy or acquire anything.

It's based on the same principles of direct-response, and the same techniques I'll be teaching at my Information Marketing Expo seminar in March -- http://www.informationmarketingexpo.com -- If you're smart, you'll be there, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and eager to turn your business around, faster than I turned the process of buying cars around.

Now go sell something,
