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!

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.

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

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!!

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.

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?
