pushy hardsell of aweber a serious blooper!
Posted in Marketing Tips, Web Personalization, Email Marketing, Aweber Autoresponders on September 10th, 2006After my email proclaiming my LOVE of Aweber, I received many interesting questions and comments. Many positive. A Few negative. And a LOT of questions about WHY I love Aweber so much.
Here’s an email from a very nice lady I seem to have offended:

My Response:
Nicole,
I can appreciate your thoughts.
However, everything I say is based on my personal experiences.
You mention several people having trouble with Aweber, that may be the case, but it’s not something I’m aware of.
What I know is this…dozens of experienced marketers and friends of mine are switching to Aweber in droves because of terrible, and extremely costly DROPS in income as a direct result of their email messages not getting delivered.
I’m talking horror stories like 20-30% delivery.
As for people switching from Aweber to host their own autoresponder software - I wish them best… but predict the worse.
My personal experience with Aweber is extensive and I have NEVER had a problem ever… the broadcasts go out in minutes and get delivered, the advanced name personalization feature is priceless, and the customer support is second to none.
So I won’t take back what I said because I STAND BY my comments 100% and we’ll just have to agree to disagree on this one.
As for bullying people to make sales I hardly think so - I was just getting across the extreme importance of my advice and how strongly I feel about it.
I was trying to make the email engaging, interesting and entertaining.
Judging from the feedback I’ve received — I succeeded.
Love me or hate me… I tell it like I see it and don’t plan to stop anytime soon.
Peace.

P.S. What service/script is your IDEAL autoresponder?
I’m waiting with an open mind…Make your case!
Or you can just leave a comment below and tell me if you agree with Nicole or me… Am I bully marketer or am I just telling it like I see it? Tell the world what you think, and do it NOW! Thanks.
P.P.S. If you want to expereince first hand why I LOVE Aweber like I do… take a free test drive.
