Hi, this is Tom Parks. I run the office for Andrew Scott.
Andrew is out of town. Before he left on Tuesday evening, he told me to remind Yates to take down the "Martial Mastery" half-price special offer from the Straightforward website this weekend.
Andrew comes back late Monday morning, and if you know anything about Andrew, you know that you don't want to let him down. Because Andrew is the kind of guy who will never let you down. It's about honor.
You may remember back in 2004 when we offered the Martial Mastery course to a select list of Andrew's clients (Back in the good old days of 'vhs' instead of 'dvd')
We got so many orders we literally sold out almost overnight!
And then, Andrew said "no more" because he had put a time limit on the offer. Just like that!
Dozens of people, even long-time clients, were still trying to order, lined up with money for us in their hot little hands, and Andrew said "nope". I remember pleading with him. I said "c'mon, give me a break! All these people are gonna miss out! And all that money!"
But Andrew stood firm on the time limits of his offer.
And y'know, I'd be lying if I said it DIDN'T piss me off! Because it did (and it still does).
But one thing I've learned about Andrew, it's that whatever he's doing, he does 1000%. If he says he gonna do it, he does it.
And when he left Tuesday I asked him "what if any orders come in over the weekend?"
He looked at me kind of annoyed and said "don't bother me with that stuff - I'm headed to the airport. Just make sure I don't see it up Monday morning when I get back."
Then he was gone!
I think that might mean he was giving me a break.
Then again, maybe not. I really couldn't tell.
He was in a hurry to get to the airport and maybe he didn't remember what day the offer is actually supposed to end: Thursday!
But since the site is still up, I'll do my part and remind Yates to take the special offer down this weekend. I don't think I'll be in hot water if you "still want to order"
http://www.straightforwardinc.com/products/sf199.aspJust DON'T try it on Monday, OK?
Matter of fact, I'm gonna let him know I sent this email, so it's totally open, because darnit Andrew, you didn't say I COULDN'T!
You said "don't bother you with this stuff." So, I'm not bothering you with it. I'm taking care of it and it'll be down by Monday morning when you get back, just like you asked.
You can even click right here and see for yourself, Andrew. The Martial Mastery half-price offer will NOT be there Monday morning!
