Indeed, as a coach I’ve seen and been in a good share of those evergreen funnels, I only do live workshops and Q&A calls, so potential clients can sense my vibe. I’ve also been on a discovery call with a coach who shamed me because I didn’t want to buy their program. It just made me angry and even if that did work, do you really want a client coming in angry at you from the beginning?

Countdown timers are the worst, of course there’s a deadline but poking at someone’s FOMO is slimy marketing.

Thank you for writing this article, I wholeheartedly agree it’s time foe us to rise up to a different standard, let go of manipulation and treat people like the adults they are.
