Dear Busy Business Owner,
"I just wish I could sit down and ask you a few questions..."
"I wish you could coach me as I go along..."
"I wish there was an affordable way to access your knowledge and expertise ...I know I could turn the corner and make my online business profitable."
I get these emails all the time.
And it's heart-breaking because I know I could help them, but there isn't enough of me to go around. I simply cannot answer all the questions my subscribers email to me.
Here's why -
Even if the question is "Deanna, do you think this is a good idea?" and all I did was type in "yes or no" (which is NOT the length of response you'd be looking for) there simply isn't enough time to read and respond to hundreds of emails I get every day, nor is it a good idea for me to farm it out to some unqualified staffer.
Do the math: If it just took ONE MINUTE to read and respond to an email, it would take me almost 17 hours to answer questions from the tens of thousands of subscribers on my list.
And that's nothing but "yes or no" answers. If I spent FIVE MINUTES on each and typed a short paragraph response, it would take over 80 HOURS per week just to answer emails. I just can't do it.
The type of questions that I am talking about are,
"Deanna, here's my background, what marketing strategy should I use to get more clients? or
"Deanna, what do you think of this headline for my salesletter?" or
"Deanna, do you think this is a good domain name or should it be something else?
I'm talking about specific questions for specific people. I just can't answer them due the volume of members.
But I can't just leave it there...
I have thought long and hard about this. We realize not everyone is in the position to invest in one of my premium coaching programs (my KickStart Program starts at $997) ...especially when they are first starting out.
While it is impossible for me to personally interact with the thousands of subscribers on my list, quite a few have suggested that I offer some kind of affordable one-on-one coaching for a limited number of positions.
