I keep seeing people talk about Paul and his majic, is everyone talking about 5 years ago or so when he was talking about getting joins without traffic or something and they were called the majic joins? I didn't think he would ever live that one down.

Yes, he was bragging about membership sales on his website, but someone quickly pointed out that none of his signup/billing pages worked....he was caught in a pretty big lie.

Damian is a great writer, very knowledgeable in several areas, extremely creative and a good friend, too.

Damian has introduced me several large clients over the years and is an inspiration to myself and my business.

I rather liked Paul's more recent thread where he was posting and reflecting on his life, work and what's important. I don't know him very well, we have not done business and yes of course I think he has had lots of crazy posts on GFY in the past. With that said, I still respect his experience and it seems often from his posts that he is passionate about things such as Eva, copyrights and his life of work. Can't hate someone for those things and I think it would also be difficult to disrespect any of those that I mentioned.
None of us has to be a millionaire to be worthy or of value. One also doesn't have to be right all of the time. I'm kind of hoping to see Paul at the Summit in Prague and have a friendly chat over a drink. The last time I met him was many years ago in Prague at a conference. I was a lot younger then and I suppose at that time we both wrote each other off. I don't spend too much time judging people on GFY. In my 13 years in the business I have likely met more than 5000 people. I rather have conversations in person or on the phone. The abundance of keyboard warrioring and online conversation make it very hard sometimes to reconcile people, especially when the interaction was of substance in person. Damian, I had best see you in London, too! Brad |

Damian helped me increase my conversions with about 45% and increased overall uservalue with 25%, besides that long tail third party joins increased drastically with his email marketing skills. That resulted in sending joins to 3rd parties, but also in receiving those back. That is of tremendous value.

I used his email marketing in the lessons section and reaped the rewards. I used his techniques as a base and applied a few elements of my own, I literally made thousands in the first circulation. I should have been doing it already, but I overlooked it and his posts pushed me into it, and i'm grateful they did. The success rate has died off now, so Damian if you've got any more tips to revitalise!?
![]() So yes, he was an inspiration - the arguments between you guys, while some times amusing do not inspire and surely it's a waste of both your time. |

It had to happen eventually Paul. No hard feelings. Good luck with trolling at B&B, I'm sure it will go well for you because of all the friends and admirers you have there.

No problems Damian. Yes if you need more introductions to people like Viv Thomas you need only ask, I know many similar people and large website owners.

As I told you, I think Viv Thomas is a cunt and I wouldn't work for him if I was starving. He is a mysogonistic, dirty old man who has a daughter who hates him and tells everyone within earshot. Sorry your troll posts failed so badly on B&B. Sad to say, you're not going to be winning Troll of the Year here this year ![]() I got your email pretending to be from Eva begging me to stop making you look stupid Paul. That was funny. The part about you having nothing in your life apart from GFY was good. |

Seriously, the most pathetic email I've ever seen. No understanding of the medium, no permission, no personalisation, nothing. Just a long list of pictures and no call to action. For someone that claims he was a successful furniture salesman, he doesn't seem to know the basics of the sales process. But, that was probably a lie too. Left school at 15, no qualifications because he was so very stupid, bummed around taking drugs, got involved in crime to make some money, spunked that, and fled the UK to rent a shack in a cabbage field that his 'wife' has to work as a secretary to pay the rent on! lolsome. |

I think there is no doubt that Damian knows his stuff, and by all accounts in real life he is a great guy but personally I think online he goes too far.
These constant pot-shots at Paul's wife are unnecessary. If you need to argue with somebody's viewpoint argue with their viewpoint, you don't need to bring his wife, his house and all the other shitty stuff in every post. These threads are amusing and sad at the same time.

Yes Paul, go for it! You can win that troll of the year award in Amsterdam september 21 again! The animated gif made me smile.
What award can Damian win? The both can't live without the other. Action = reaction, so a part of the award must go to Damian! www.webmasteraccess.com

Think of a better serious question.
Look, the point is, Paul is a hopeless old fuck and I really enjoy trolling him because he ALWAYS responds. It amuses me, and others. If you don't like it, put me on ignore and like the gay magician, I will vanish with a poof. :D |

Research the company and what it does as much as possible. Find a part of their business they're not getting the maximum return on, or a part of the business similar companies like them are expanding into. Investigate why. Identify your solution, in products or your skills. Make contact by opening with ways to maximise that part of their business, to get an appointment to discuss. Can be on the phone of by online chat, nothing beats face to face. If he doesn't want to meet, move on to the next one. Discuss only that part of the business. Do not question, think, hint, indicate they are presently doing anything wrong. The time to do this is after you have proved yourself and got their trust and business. A great way of expanding your revenue and involvement with the client. While discussing explore their business needs, thoughts and directions. They do the talking you do the listening. all the time getting them to agree to your statement "So that would be good for you". In different terminology so you don't sound like a broken record. you need to build their trust in you so put in some helpful tips along the way without revealing the slam dunk close. All the time building them into a "Affirmative frame of mind". In a clothes shop when the customer likes a dress say "That looks great on you, doesn't it?" Can use colour, fit, cloth, length, etc. When selling office furniture, establish points like, customers seeing the office, who are using the furniture and for what, life expectancy as in terms of refurbishing. So you can come back with. "It's important to you what clients think as they enter your offices." OR "So with commodity dealers you need something to take a lot of wear and tear." Or "As you refurbish once every ten years, having furniture that will last is important." What you don't do is ask where they bought that dress/furniture or how much she paid for it. you're questioning their decisions. |

Oh Paul, I'm sorry, your post on B&B got no responses apart from people telling you to fuck off, so you have to post it again here?
Lolsome double fail! Keep it going, this is awesome. I'm just packing up the car to go to a lovely festival for the weekend and your constant Massive Jug Of Fail is really making me laugh. ![]() |

Yes I paid to access a UK census report to prove you lied about where you live. The only Damian Jennings of your approx age, living with someone who might be called Jen. Isn't Arundel. Now people can see my continual exposing your lies is getting to you. I never said stole all your work. I said copied and pasted from the Internet. If the article you wrote on selling was copied, you copied the wrong one. Maybe you rewrote. Still as illustrated, it's wrong. You and I have superbly illustrated how telling strangers they're doing it wrong, just gets their backs up. I could after I had established myself with people tell them how to do it better. That they made a wrong decision on rejecting a set and to take a closer look at it. Or even changing the direction of their business. You fail to understand I was never really interest in selling to 90% of the people on the boards, most are people who will never buy content, most of the rest want custom for a price I won't shoot for. And those that do, buy on price not quality. The stores were only another income stream for magazine sets. The paysites were another income stream as well. We were never going to give up magazines and stores business to open sites. Where his article on selling is. http://www.adultmarketing.co.uk/2011/10/16/how-to-sell/ |

And here's a marketing tip for you. Forget split testing and try MVT. Google offers a free service. You upload different versions of different sections of your tour/lander/email/whatever and google makes loads of varients of the page using your content.
You quickly can see which images/text/colours/sizes work best for you. Simple and free. |

Google is great Paul, you can take ANYTHING from my blog, put quotes on it, then search. You'll see no results. All the ideas are mine. You, however, do have stolen content on your blogs. Still. Brilliant. Keep it up Paul! Do you try and shoot yourself in the foot, or is it accidental? |
