OK I'm sorry it's 40K not 40 systems. Nevertheless, I have some experience in business and know methods used by so-called marketing guys/con artits because before entering business I have followed some courses by these guys and frankly I don't like them and their methods. They are very very clever as they can guess what you would think: they know that a client will have some suspicion, ego etc... so they really exploit that.
Perhaps you are a "true" normal forum guy but I am wondering about your big claim and insistence because I know these methods: you could just exploit the feelings of most people to better attract them later, this is called "coercive persuasion". An example is "how to attack the subjects' egos and force them to come to a decision"

As you can see I really don't defend con artists on the contrary.
The Take Away
aka... The Negative Sell
The Take Away is used to psychologically force the subjects to admit that they are the only ones who are responsible for making the ultimate decision to proceed with a project or not. And that we will not wait any longer for them to continue putting off making the decision.
We literally attack the subjects' egos
and force them to come to a decision.
This technique will make them feel that if they don't go ahead with the product or service, that they are making a major mistake and that they are not bright enough to see the value of the deal.
"Maybe you're right,"
the salesman said as he stood up and began closing his presentation materials.
"This program is not for everybody. I just really believed, based on what you've told me, you would finally see what I hoped we were going to accomplish for your company today."
"Maybe I shouldn't say this but, I guess this was just too sophisticated for you. It doesn't matter, you're obviously uncomfortable with the idea of going forward with the program."
(continue packing-up if not stopped by the subject and leave on civil terms.)
"I really thought you would appreciate this proposal." (Shrug)
The more egotistical the subjects, the more vehemently they will object to having you make up their minds for them. You should use this weakness to apply more coercive persuasion. It works really well.

I am rather astonished to learn that one could waste 2000$ to 7000$ on 40 systems (as I could understand from previous thread on the same subject by the same guy so why did he create another ... ) ! One or two OK but 40 huhu ! So I am suspicious about his critics.
Harry you need to re read my posts your obviously not paying attention, I said I bought $40,000 worth of systems not 40 systems.
Secondly this attitude is the epitome of STUPIDITY think about how many deaths could have been prevented if the tobacco companies where forced to comply with legal advertising and representation 20 years ago.
Are you really that ignorant......?
We are here to help each other and foolish comments like the previous posts blaming the defrauded consumer are ridicules and you need to stop mixing your medications.
Do everything you can to make this world a better place and don't buy into this every man for himself BS.
