Dear friend and subscriber,
Let me start off with an observation:
Most email marketing exp-hurts are completely clueless about how to make sales with email.
They are like the guy who knows 365 sexual positions…
But Can’t Get a Date on Friday Night!
And it’s no wonder.
I mean, have you read some of those email marketing books?
They cover everything but the one thing that really matters – Salesmanship.
Look, let me make something very clear:
With email marketing, if 100 equals success, then…
99.9% of That Success is Getting The Sale.
That’s right, it’s getting your subscribers to take the action you want them to take – and have them love doing it!
Whether that means hiring your services, buying your product, or showing up at your store.
Now listen:

So you’ve probably read through some bullets and you’ve realized I’m not kidding when I say this Playbook is NOT conventional.
Yes, indeed, this Playbook doesn’t just bend the conventional email marketing rules – it smashes them into a million pieces.
HOWEVER…
There is one thing I would NEVER treat lightly or ever mess with.
And that one thing is this:
Proven Sales and Marketing Principles
These, I treat with the utmost respect and hold in the highest of regard.
In fact, I treat them like an Orthodox Jew treats the Torah.
You know, if there’s one thing that’s brought me the most success with email marketing, it has been this:
Religiously studying and applying the proven sales and marketing principles, and totally ignoring (with very few exceptions) what every other email marketer is doing – especially the “exp-hurts.”
Which reminds me what the great Earl Nightingale once said:
“If you don’t have a good model for success, just look at what everybody else is doing and do the opposite.”
Look.
If you’re a stickler for the rules, and the idea of not dotting your i’s and crossing your t’s make your hands sweat, your mouth dry up and your heart rate to speed up, then this Playbook’s probably not for YOU.
On the other hand, if you DO have the stomach to let go of your old ways and try a new way, perhaps YOU should keep reading.
I guess it comes down to asking yourself this question:
“Am I happy with my current email marketing results?”
Still undecided?
Maybe the next lot of bullets will help you decide:
How to write with personality, even if you have the charisma of a wet mop and can barely write a shopping list.
The #1 most important skill you should learn to become an effective email marketer. (And no, it’s not copywriting.)

A heads up:
I have taken a “go for the jugular” approach with this Playbook.
In other words:
There’s no filler or banal email marketing trite or “mickey mouse” sales cliches.
In fact, I challenge you to find even a skerrick of fluff inside.

I’ve wasted no words in getting across to you the very secrets that will boost your business profits the fastest and most powerful way humanly possible.
That said, this Playbook is anything but light on.
There’s a TON of “marketing and sales” gold to be mined.
Like the Following:
How listening to Johnny Cash songs can make you a more effective email marketer.

The “persuasion secret” of a legendary American Broadcaster.

“Whether You’re Online, Offline or On The Sidelines, This Playbook Has You Covered”
It matters not if you’re a lawyer, car mechanic, hair stylist, blogger, internet marketer or a realtor.
This Playbook is a road-map, a blueprint, a formula for doubling your business profits for both “brick and mortar” and “click and order” alike.
Like I said earlier….
You will not find the information inside this Playbook in any other Marketing gurus books, videos or webinars, (especially in regard to email marketing).
That’s because the secret’s contained inside this Playbook come from outside the online marketing/email marketing industry. (More about that in a moment.)
You know, the email marketing/internet marketing industry would have to be the most incestuous industry on the planet. You see, most email marketers and online educators are just regurgitating the same old stuff (i.e. tricks and tactics that only fool suckers) they were taught by other online marketers.
That stuff (there’s no better word to describe it) may work on folks who don’t know any better, but if you’re running a legitimate business and looking for quality prospects who have money to buy your product or service, then you must find a better way.
(Enter The Maverick’s Playbook.)
You see, there are two very REAL problems with what’s being taught about email marketing (or sales and marketing in general, for that matter) these days.
(1) Much of what is being taught about email marketing nowadays simply doesn’t work anymore. The general public are fed up with advertising and now hate marketers with the fire of a thousand suns.
If a prospect so much as gets a whiff of you trying to sell them, there goneski.
A new approach is needed.
An approach that doesn’t scare off your subscribers, but instead, turns them into lifelong customers who happily pay you, time and time again.
This Playbook is that new approach.
And…
(2) There’s a Grand Canyon sized oversight with what’s being taught on email marketing.
And that oversight is this:
Not realizing that email marketing should be based on proven principles rather than tricks and tactics – BIG diffrence, my friend.
And those proven principles must be based on Psychology, Influence, Persuasion and Salesmanship.
I call this “Pips”.
You may not want pips in your fruit, but let me tell you, in your emails…you want mucho pips!
But do you know what I’ve realised?
When it comes to psychology, influence, persuasion and salesmanship…
…Online marketers are about as clueless
as a senior citizen with an iPad!
And that’s exactly why I have gone outside the industry to glean secrets from…
The World’s Most Charismatic, Persuasive and Influential Men and Women
I have studied the world’s most successful screenwriters to see how they use themes and dialogue to grab and keep the audience’s attention – crucial for email marketing.
I have analyzed movie and TV scripts to gain insider secrets into storytelling.
I have watched and studied the world’s most successful trial room lawyers craft stories to persuade a jury to their way of thinking.
I have studies the world’s greatest comedians and observed how they win over drunk and rowdy (even hostile) crowds to the point where they have the crowd eating out of their hand.
I have observed political and religious leaders indoctrinate their followers and attract new converts through storytelling.
I have gleaned insights into human-nature from Nobel Prize winners, Novelists, musicians, psychologists and neuroscientists.
I then began experimenting with these secrets by sneaking them into my emails.
And by golly, it worked.
I mean REALLY worked.
I started getting real attention.
And not just any old “attention”.
No.
I’m talking about favorable “attention” – BIG difference.
And the more I applied these secrets in my emails, the more attention I got.
Which all resulted in getting more opens, more readership and ultimately…
MORE SALES!
Look, I can’t stress that point enough.
At the risk of sounding completely redundant, I’ll say it again.
The more I ignored email marketing “best practices” and implemented these secrets from the world’s most charismatic, persuasive and influential people, the more success I gained.
And I’m offering you these exact secrets on a silver platter in the form of a Playbook.
