I Especially Hate This Type of Brown-Nosing...

If you can sincerely, from the very bottom of your heart, say you are not annoyed by testimonials with the words and phrases listed below, I'll personally come to your house and beat you up.

  1. Name_Of_Author, you've finally done it!

    What do you mean "Finally done it"?? Do you even realize how many people begin their testimonials using those same, exact words?! Who are you talking to anyway? A 3 year old? "You've finally done it! You've learned to flush after you go number two! Here's a sticker!"


  2. Get it now before Name_Of_Author comes back to his/her senses!

    Why would I ever want to purchase from someone who is not in their sound mind? I'll wait until after they've received professional help, thank you... maybe they'll create an even better version of their product after nurturing their mental needs.


  3. This is the ONLY ebook/seminar/software you will EVER need to purchase!

    That's great... but, do you promise to NEVER promote other products and services covering the same information - including your own?


    I'm just tired, don't mind me...

#1.
#2.
#3.
#4.


He said - She said...

LOL - I need to go and check any of my testimonials that might have used the verbiage above which resulted in this funny, too-true rant.

I think I am safe though - I hate all those lines too!

Hey Jack,

I was looking through some sales pages and seriously... I could almost swear I saw the same testimonial from different people for multiple products - lol!!

Is someone selling a testimonial generator or sumthin'?!!
