| think theyre heading.
I got one such prospect a few weeks ago in the shape of Rocco, a gentle giant from Brooklyn.
How do I know Rocco is a giant
He emailed a picture of himself towering over his significant other and some friends.
How do I know hes gentle

Rocco emailed me expressing interest in three of my products but he didnt want them in digital format (which would have cost him $107 in total) he wanted hard copy.
I suggested CD formatting.
He got back to me saying, No, I dont want CDs, I want hard copy. Ill pay a grand
So now I thought, loony tunes, but I emailed Rocco back intimating that if he deposited $200 in my PayPal account Id give him what he wanted; hard copy on all three products
I reckoned I would hear no more but the following morning on checking my PayPal account I discovered to my astonishment that one thousand dollars had been deposited.
I cant take this mans money I protested and I told him so.
Rocco got back to me within the hour.
His brusque message read, I said a grand, I meant a grand, so take a grand.
So I took Roccos grand.
Wouldnt you
I mean who wants to be emailed to death
The moral:
Never assume you know better than prospects or what they are prepared to pay and why. Maybe Rocco has a sight problem beyond my ken or maybe he finds it difficult to read from a computer screen. I will never know for sure but this I do know. Rocco is delighted with the hard copy he craved.
He told me so in yet another email.
