Just goes to show you that how we word things online and how we react does indeed have an effect on others. The entire conversation could have easily taken a different tone. :-)

I’m glad she came around, but did want to point out that her comparison to the direct sales companies doesn’t apply in this case. As a direct sales rep, she is already a customer of that company (i.e. through sales minimums, etc.) and they also financially benefit from people listening to those calls and applying what they learn. So, although they don’t ask for money out of her pocket for the recordings, they are most definitely making money…and that’s what biz is largely about, isn’t it? :-)

Kelly, I just have to say that the way in which you handled this was just Superb…professionally getting your point across but in just the nicest manner possible! And kudos to her for being able to see things clearly and tell you so!

Glad that your response to her made her stop and think about things.

Kelly… a great post all around. I do believe some people do think we should give all our info for free until they realize the work that is put in behind the scenes. Great thought out reply Kel!

Well fair play to her for coming back with a response to that, even if she’d seen your point of view she could have just gone off into a corner and sulked LOL..but I agree with your sentiments, there is so much free information out there a lot of it provided by people like you and me that sometimes people forget and take things for granted, believing they can do it all for free but going for free all the time certainly won’t get you where you want to go !

What a turn around! Great to see an objective person with the ability to say they made a mistake.

Great turn out, if only they could all be that understanding :-)
