		<description>Hi Scott.  Easy answer:  Just reply to any email you get from us, and change the subject line to something you believe will get noticed by my staff (who scour all incoming email).  Make a case that you should be considered for the Stable of Copywriters we&#039;ve put together, and we&#039;ll get back to you.

This is actually a small &quot;test&quot;.  That subject line is like a headline.  Let&#039;s see if you can get noticed, in a good positive way... and write something that will get you a second look.

Have some samples ready to show us, too.

The copywriters in the Stable stand out because they&#039;re good, and they&#039;re disciplined -- something lacking in most freelancers out there.  I have very strict requirements, and will not compromise.  

Good luck, Scott.</description>

		<description>Hi Ron.  Thanks for chiming in.

Let me get this straight:  You took us up on our very generous offer to check everything out... without risk.  You were bummed that it didn&#039;t meet your expectations, and you returned it for a refund.  Just like we said you could.

Your comment here is actually a shining testament to our excellent customer service.  No arguments from us, no hassles, just a prompt return of your purchase price once you let us know you weren&#039;t satisfied.  

I&#039;ll let your claim that the material is unsatisfactory just lie there.  Readers can see for themselves how your comment stands up against the testimonials of others who beg to disagree with you.  (I&#039;d also like to add that our retention rate in the last two SWS mentoring classes was over 90%.  That is unheard-of in the Internet marketing community, where the average retention rate for coaching programs is dismal.  The vast majority of people who get into the program, stay and love it.)

And, Ron, the price hasn&#039;t changed since we introduced the mentoring program a year ago.

What&#039;s more, most of our testimonials (and we&#039;re literally flooded with them) are from non-copywriters.  Several started out clueless about writing, and quickly got so good that they are now considering &lt;em&gt;becoming &lt;/em&gt;professional copywriters, however.  That&#039;s how thorough the coaching is in this program.

Oh... and most of the sales letters that Ron wants you to go hunt and copy by hand... are IN the Simple Writing System package (among many other proven ads for you to examine, get inspired by, and swipe if you like).     

Oh, hell.  I&#039;m trying to be nice here.

But some people just don&#039;t get it.  They&#039;re more comfortable complaining and being nit-picking critical... maybe because that attitude allows them to remain in their comfort-zone of inaction, where it&#039;s hopeless to go after goals, and they can &lt;em&gt;prove &lt;/em&gt;it, cuz they&#039;ve &quot;tried&quot; and failed and that&#039;s just the way it is.  Give up, everyone.  

Okay, that&#039;s harsh.  Sorry.  

We get very few negative comments about this program.  It would be weird if we didn&#039;t get any, because the world is a big place, and it&#039;s impossible to please everyone.

Still, make up your own mind.  And remember that, for all of Ron&#039;s irritable criticism, he had no problem getting a refund after trying the program out for himself.  

Just like we promised.

Okay, I&#039;m done.

Stay frosty, 

John Carlton</description>

		<description>I&#039;m very thankful that every dollar (of thousands) I&#039;ve spent on John&#039;s training has multiplied itself times 10-20x ROI; if you want to be successful online then John&#039;s on the very very short list of people to &quot;go deep&quot; with and study every word, implement and pay attention to.   

If anyone&#039;s on the fence about working with John, now more than ever is a great time to take the plunge and get involved, eg buy the SWS.  I remember wondering whether or not to spend money on John&#039;s training many years ago.   I&#039;m so grateful I did; he&#039;s one of the few people who&#039;s truly made a big, profitable impact on my business.  Highly, enthusiastically recommended.

		<description>Great offer John, thanks.
So what&#039;s it take to get noticed by a copywriter of your caliber?
I&#039;ve got some great results under my belt, what would it take to impress you enough to be considered for your &quot;copywriters bullpen&quot;?
I&#039;m a big fan. 
Peace,
-Scott Murdaugh</description>

		<description>Well, thanks for the offer, Bella.  Very kind of you.

I&#039;ll pass, thanks.

And I don&#039;t think there is such a size as &quot;triple C&quot;...</description>
