Whats the cheesiest sales gimmick you’ve ever tried that worked!?

I had personalized 1 pagers printed out and crumpled em up, stuffed in an envelope and sent to prospects with a note attached “quit throwing me out”


the letter stuck out cuz it was all fat, got em to read it, and it’s pretty funny.


what have y’all done??

I used to send fake grenades/dynamite to my prospects saying that if they don't sign with us then this package would detonate in an hour. It was really fun and got some good chuckles until the FBI showed up at my office.

Once I sold into the WGA (Writers Guild Association) and I sent them a "For Your Eyes Only" script of my prospecting experience with their CTO.  Got the meeting the day after delivery.
