As a business owner and marketer, there’s a very good possibility you’ve been wildly mislead, confused and digitally drugged by self-proclaimed marketing gurus who have brainwashed you into thinking that there’s only one way to market successfully.
The truth is; the way of the old internet marketing “ABC” (Always Be Closing) methodology is the path to financial suicide in today’s New Media Marketplace.
Today’s consumer is sick-and-tired of being assaulted by pathetic adolescent marketing that is clearly out for self-pleasure. The New Media marketplace with the power of Social Media has raised people’s expectations for rapport and lowered tolerance for marketplace molestation. (Isn’t that true for you?)

There is a new better way to sell today, without “selling.” the New economy and New Media marketplace demand it. Those who get it will reap the rewards no matter what the economy is doing.
This video is your invitation to join in defeating the Black Triad. And it’s your awakening to a new way to win the hearts, minds and pocketbooks of more raving PAYING fans than you can possibly imagine.
Die Black Triad! Die!
Marketplace Molesters, List Pimps, and Conversational Sociopaths… all must die a digital death.
- When you’ve run across any of the Black Triad, how did you feel?
Will you do your part in ensuring their defeat?
And equally as important, will you shun the path of the Black Triad, embrace the new way and be guided by the Profit Trinity™?
You can be sure it’ll be the deciding factor between your marketing generating a financial boom or bust.

Hey guys,
Last nights call with Kevin was a blast. It was extremely entertaining and stimulating. Keep up the good work.
PS
When I hear JP get fired up it really makes me fired up as well. I’m becoming a big fan.
Thanks Jamie. Goal is to make things fun AND profitable for you. Happy you’re getting that as part of the Tribe. Pass on the passion.
Your posts are great. I love the information and the fact that you put it in a fun and creative package.
To elaborate, I love your classification of the marketplace molesters, List pimps, and conversational sociopaths. It sums up the sleazy techniques and attitudes of the self proclaimed gurus. Info commerce and social media marketing should be about relationships and transparency, and your blog calls people out on that, but in an amazingly comfortable way that is fun to watch!
Rob ~ Thnx for elaborating my man. Appreciate the feedback. This is something we really see as a movement brewing.
With your comment and the positive feedback on Twitter, it’s clear people have had it w the old interruption marketing/marketplace molestation mindset. We’re just trying to make the alternative fun & profitable at the same time!
Hey J.P.
Loved the interview, perfect example here of the power of relationship and social interaction in presenting a powerful subject. You and Kevin did a fabulous job presenting the shift in the marketing movement in an entertaining way. Excellent interview questions enabling the discussion to make some great points.
I agree with everything Rob has written above. The old techniques have worn out their welcome and those that don’t make the shift into relationship marketing and social media are going to find themselves left out in the cold.
The new model for online marketing is the team model. This is exactly what you are creating with The Tribe.
Now to add another dimension. The new team/socialized marketing model is completely inline with the shift in consciousness on the planet. As people open up to the fact of our interconnectedness and that we are not separate beings competing, but parts of an integrated whole here working in conjunction to produce results for the highest benefit of all. The old ways simply can’t survive as human consciousness on the planet evolves.
Thanks for always being on the leading edge JP and doing so in your inimitable style!

Hiya,
I work on a Mac, not a PC so can’t look at this video as its in Windows Media Player. Damn. I really want to see it. Is there another way/ place you have load it so that I can view?
Sorry for being a bother with this.
Sarah
Sarah, no bother at all. Sorry you can’t see the video.
Two easy ways you can see it.
1. As Mac user. Some Macs are missing a WMV codec. @DrTodd let me know Mac users can get it here: http://is.gd/MnB
2. You can watch it on the Tribal Seduction channel @ Viddler.
Have fun & let us know which member of the Black Triad repulses you the most after watching. And how you’ll use the tips given in the video to combat these evil doers.
A VERY seductive video! Clear message, delivered with intelligence and passion. Thanks JP.
Thanks for the response. I loved the video. We have a quite a few conversational sociopaths in sunny South Africa! I have shared this liberally with my co-workers and clients. Thanks.
Hi there,
Wanted to say that I loved your presentation at Renegades in Vegas!
I have a beef with people who exchange business cards with you and then you find out that you have been subscribed to their list, without you ever being invited or opted in.
What is up with this? Not only do I think it is very arrogant for people to assume that just because you have met them at an event you ‘automatically’ want to be on their distribution list, it is annoying when you can’t unsubscribe by clicking through. Instead you have to email them directly and ask to be removed.
I have been racking my brains on how to deal with this and the only thing I can think of is to be very, very selective in who you give your card out to. If I tell them when they are accepting my card not to sign me up for any newsletter, offer etc I may be the one coming across unprofessionally.
I would love your take on this.
Thanks in advance!
Sarah ~ Thanks for passing the video along. The few tips on combating the Black Triad (and how to profit in today’s New Media marketplace) are just the beginning. Stay tuned. Lots of great coaching & tips coming your way.
Sharon ~ 1st off I have to say both Deb & I are TOTALLY in your camp. What is up with these people? Your inquiry is a perfect example of Marketplace Molesters. You hand them a card and they automatically add you to their list. That’s analagous to saying hi in response to someone means you want to sleep with them! Jeesh!
I’d like to say this only occurs when people are SO desperate for business that they feel they need to act this way — but sadly that’s not the case. The Marketplace Molester mindset afflicts “big name” money-makers too.
Deb personally experienced this recently when she did an interview of a VERY well known online/internet marketer (who’s also touted as being very successful.) She shared her private email with this guy for the purposes of coordinating the phone interview… and she ends up on his list!
Needless to say, we never published his interview because of that. And that interview would have been in our column for Entrepreneur Magazine. His loss!
I personally don’t use business cards. Our current businesses don’t dictate it. Besides – my policy is; if I want to connect with someone, it will be a genuine connection which is initiated during our in-person meeting. If the feeling is mutual, we exchange contact information. Done!
When I was running my previous businesses; where we were selling to retail consumers and business owners face-to-face, we used custom over-sized art-quality biz cards to stand out. But I never handed a card out unless I had created rapport with a prospect and had a specific reason to connect with them.
Bottom line — if a marketer or entrepreneur cannot create enough of an impression or rapport to seduce, be remembered, and sought out — handing all the business cards in the world out will not help.
And molesting people in the marketplace by adding them a mailing list will only make matters worse.
How’s that for my opinion?
Glad I am not the only one to have this pet peeve!
If someone takes my card and wants to invite me afterwards to sign up for their newsletter, via a personal email invitation or conversation, then I don’t have a problem with that at all.
At least it is more professional in this fashion than just ‘assuming’ that I want to be on their list.
There isn’t a single facet of the Black Triad that doesn’t repulse me, and I’ve been hit by all of them. I can chalk it up to naivete and the lack of maturity as a marketer, so intent on making it big, I allowed it to happen.
After awhile, like any form of abuse, it wears on you and brings you down, until you just feel like you’re drowning.
Here is the opportunity to change that and save all our young marketers from being violated in this context!
So how will I help in the battle of the Black Triad? By spreading the word! BLACK TRIAD BE GONE!!
Great video! Entertaining yet so informative and true! I love this site and the way everything falls into the Seduction theme – Brilliant and Creative!
I want to be a hero! Not knowing any better, I was exposed to and tried to learn from the Dark Side for the past 8 months. I never felt completely comfortable with what they taught or how they marketed. Up until recently, I thought it was me just being a stickler for, truth and honesty. I probably should have listened to my gut when it would get all queezy when listening to their conference calls on how to market, etc. I am not a liar or one who will do what ever it takes to get a sale. Probably why I haven’t made a dime since going online 8 months ago. I’m not one to compromise my morals and values yet was trying to learn from those who were asking me to do so – DUH? Hello?
Through Twitter, I have recently connected with some great marketers and resources such as TribalSeduction. I am so happy I have found a way to learn marketing that not only doesn’t require me to compromise my morals and values, but will take me where I really want to be. And if I can achieve all this while at the same time being a part of a tribe that brings Marketplace Molesters, List Pimps, and Conversational Sociopaths to their Digital Death – Count Me In!
Thanks for all that you do!
Always Grateful and ready to Embrace the New Way,
Andrea
Susie & Andrea ~ welcome heroines! No need to fear the Black Triad. Like the big bad wolf, they’re just huffery & puffery.
And Andrea… my condolences on the last 8mos. But now you have been reborn!
You can never be successful when you’re operating in a way that saps your passion or is out of sync with your beliefs. Being a Tribal Seducer is above the adolescent approach of the Black Triad. And it is the foundation for any good “tactic-focused” approach you have or will learn.
Being a Tribal Seducer takes thinking and acting a little differently — but for a bigger & better results!
Being a Tribal Seducer is both fun & profitable in today’s marketplace! Anything else is just plain creepy.
JP, you’ve done a phenomenal job of as a detective and sketch artist as you’ve painted the perfect picture of what this online criminals are doing to virtual neighborhood.
Now that we’ve identified these crooks lets enforce the law and bring the SMACK DOWN on these scumbags!
Can we create a virtual prison for these violators of justice?
How about a virtual death penalty where we fry their virtual lives so they can never harm again?
You guys are superhero’s keep up the great work!
