“Lee” from the Anthony Robbins office
11.04.2005 | Toothless Tiger
Anthony Robbins gives away his new book ” notes from a friend” for free ! – email ticking in from my mother in law. The book promises everything that a selfhelp book should – but also adds that “this book is going to change your life completely” ( like every other selfhelp book)… But OK I will see how their marketing strategy works and I order “notes from a friend”.
10 minutes after a guy called Lee from the “Anthony Robbins office” ( that’s how he’s introducing himself) calls me up on my phone ( you had to state your phone number), asks me to confirm my “free” order and whom I might have gotten the offer from.
Fair enough ” my mother in law send me an email ”
Lee tells me that they will be sending the book shortly.. Excellent.
2 days after he calls to check if the book has arrived.
nope
and the day after
nope
when he calls two days later ( and now, by far are the most frequent caller except my mom)
the book have arrived.
have i read it ?
nope
am I going to ? well I don’t know yet.
he calls me again the day after and asks me the same questions.
stating that he did not call me yesterday – even though it was “Lee from the Anthony Robbins office” who called me.
but the same questions again.
with the same british familiar voice.
nope I haven’t read Anthony Robbins book yet.
and by now this Lee guy has been buggin’ me so much that I probably wont.
he still calls from time to time, but I can see when it’s an incoming call from the UK on my mobile so I just don’t answer it.
tell me do you think Anthony Robbins marketing strategy works ?
and will I read his book ? – I know one thing for sure my 16 months old daughter loves to tear things apart at the moment
