Do you know what I hate about the "ad experts" and Gurus

[XTREME1]

They think they invent stuff. You see it all the time from logo'd money to catch phrases.

I was reading ICS for a total of 2 minutes and howard partridge is trademarking a common phrase acting like it is his.

I will ask everyone to google the phrase
unique experience proposition and tell me if it is his or not.

Well I suppose if he was the first to trademark it then it's his. :wink:

Did you hear that "octomom" trademarked octomom. Man I hope I don't get sued for typing it. :roll:

Dude you need to lay off of the marketing guru's!

The economy is tough out there and squeezing pennies out of rubes has to be twice as difficult as it use to be, give them a break! :wink:

Hey Greg I got a business opportunity you should look at just made for these times. Tough times bring out desperation and people grasping anywhere for survival. Why not sell hope for $500 a shot? Its like shooting broke carpet cleaners in a barrel.

NO, There’re not that stupid but they hope you are

NO, There’re not that stupid but they hope you are

It's rare when i disagree with you, Randy

but yes they are stupid..especially the newbies and the desperate ones

What they fail to recognize, is there are no silver bullets and there are no secrets to success.
It takes "action" and consistency

I have nothing against Howard. he's doing what he does best....selling .
At least HP actually owns a successful CCing biz.

UN-like that carnival barker schmuck jOe

There's a lot of dumb fish, new fish, dead fish, lose fish out there
Make enough casts, and you'll catch some


The amway/qixtar rallies are going strong too....



..L.T.A.

Meat I’m talking about the Gurus not new cleaners.

People pay for their marketing courses/ seminars/ round tables the #1 thing they market are themselves the money is much better if you can turn yourself into a commodity

Almost guaranteed that anything anyone has to sell you for marketing has been done 100 times before or more.

Some work, most don't...many just make money for the people marketing the marketing. And that in itself is good marketing with dishonest intentions.

If I ever came up with some incredible thing to market something

First...I would use it on my company...whatever that company may be

Second...I would tell people about it....there is enough work out there for any business

And that is primarily because most people don't want to own a business.
