You know you're an internet marketer if...
- Thread starter TechS
- Start date
I was a the furniture store a while back and they were demoing 3D televisions and the guy couldn't understand why I didn't want to give them all of my information and email address for a chance to win a 3D tv. I told him it's a lead gen and I'm not interested in being on any of their marketing lists. He just had a dumb look on his face and goes ok.
LMAO - I was at a 'winter-fest' (Christmas tree lighting) thing downtown last weekend with a few friends, and there was this booth for a local coffee shop or some shit. They had a wheel you could spin (like in a lottery) and wherever it landed, you got a coupon as designated on that wheel. But in order to play, you had to give up your email address. I was the only one who wouldn't do it.
When the people I was with asked why, I said "It's just lead generation". They looked at me funny. For some reason, I figured I'd make it clearer by saying, "The person in the booth is getting compensated probably for as many emails as she can get - almost like a sort of offline CPA marketing."
To which one guy responded, "CPA? It's for a coffee shop - not accountants."
I might be crazy, but does anybody else ever let people pitch them shit they have absolutely no intention of buying, just to see if you can learn anything from the pitch?
Fuck! 4 years ago I filled a zip submit and waited for a free macbook. As a "help" I forwarded that "'unbelievable offer" link (lol) to some of my friends too. I would not forget this for ever lol.
When you are white, anti-islamic, homofobic racist... oh sorry I confused being Internet marketer with being a WF member...
Ah, actually that's totally fair. I just assumed that since your location was London that English would be your first language. Apologies.
