How I got interested in Glenn Canady’s Gorilla Website Marketing Course

At some point Glenn Canady’s guy finally managed to get hold of me again. He was a pretty pleasant guy, and he’d caught me in a good mood. I was still annoyed about Glenn Canady’s e-book and that I’d not only been caught out by it but done nothing about it. My previous anger had turned to annoyance as much at myself as Glenn Canady and his Gorilla Website Marketing e-book.

Let me make something very clear before I go any further. This telephone conversation, and any other telephone conversations I had with Glenn Canady’s people or ABDevelopment are obviously completely undocumented. I wasn’t sitting there with a tape recorder, I didn’t write down everything word for word, and these conversations took place almost a year ago, and to be honest, I can’t remember word for word what was said by whom, when, or in what order. What I am giving you here is the gist of what I recall being said and the way the conversations panned out. I do remember a lot more vividly the latter conversations prior to signing up. By this point it felt like there was a lot at stake and I was a lot more focussed on the conversations and the way things were panning out. Even so, I have nothing in writing to back up what I am saying here, but this is the way I remember it. I had a number of phone calls from Glenn Canady’s people / ABDevelopment, prior to sign-up. I can’t remember how many. I didn’t buckle after the first call. However, for the sake of brevity I will roll some of these calls into one otherwise anyone reading this will probably die of boredom.

I let the guy, Scott I think his name was, say his piece and then I explained to him politely why I was annoyed about the book and why I wasn’t interested in anything else that they might have to offer. What I do remember is that there was no way I was going to fall for anything else. I wasn’t interested and that was that.

What I was being offered was all a bit vague at that point. All I was really clear of from what the guy was telling me was that I was being offered a rare opportunity that not many people were going to be offered. They had to make sure they got the right people and certainly not everyone that was called up was going to be offered this. They had to screen out those that they didn’t believe would be able or willing to do what was necessary. I was told that Glenn Canady had an update to his site coming up (I think he mentioned a new version of the Gorilla Website Marketing book as well) and Glenn Canady needed some fresh new testimonials. This meant that they would be willing to take some people and personally show them step by step how to go from nothing to creating and building a successful and profitable web business. This, I was told, was why they had to pre-screen people. To make sure that they had the right attitude. To make sure that they were committed, that they had the drive, that they would be willing to listen and follow exactly what they were told. It was explained to me that they simply couldn’t afford to waste time or money on the wrong people as Glenn Canady had his update coming out and they needed to make sure testimonials were ready for that. So, whoever they worked with HAD to be a success. Was I interested in being shown this ? Was I interested in being someone holding my hand and taking me step by step through EXACTLY what needed to be done to create a successful and profitable web site ? You bet I was ! But hang on, what was the catch ?

I remember starting to sound sceptical and disinterested, and then Scott, if that actually was his name, then slipped in his winning line. I can’t remember the exact words but it was along the following lines : What if there was absolutely no risk to me ? What if I couldn’t go wrong ? I started to get interested again. I told him to let me think about it and he promised to ring me back in a few days.
