A few years ago I bought Randy's book Millionaire Magician. Yes, I was one of those suckers who fell for his high pressure sales pitches and inflated promises of riches and glory.
The funny thing is that the book is actually a how-to guide for the hard-sell techniques that Randy used to get me to buy the book in the first place. Instead of teaching me how to get rich, it actually taught me how to recognize a scam.
Every two or three days Randy spams me with yet another proposition for a marketing seminar or e-book that I "can't afford NOT to buy!" I haven't unsubscribed because I'm slightly amused by his relentlessness and infomercial monotony.
However...
I just received a new spam, which I think really sums up Randy's business ethics.
Here's an excerpt:
It's really cool...
[The book] teaches you how to suck cash out of other peoples mailing
list…legally and ethically…selling products you don’t even own!
You get paid big bucks just for “bringing” two people together.
Plus, anyone can do it because:
> You don’t need a mailing list.
> You don’t need to own a product.
> You don’t need lots of cash.
> You don’t even need any credibility!
Not even any credibility!!! Wow, where do I sign up!!!
Everyday I hear in the news about yet another corporate scandal and now I see that this kind of dishonesty is at work on every level of the business ladder.
