Withholding Payment

If you have ever tried a Free Sample of food in a supermarket, you’ll understand the concept of give-away promotional items.

My Fantastic Freebie is Indexer . A phenomenal front-end for the Interesting Words engine.

Most people download it for free and enjoy it.

A few people ask me questions or find a bug.

I fix the bug and answer the questions, then I ask

  • Would you mind telling me how you found or heard about Indexer?
  • Would you be willing to provide a testimonial?
  • Would you mind telling your friends and colleagues about Indexer?

Most times I hear silence.; “I’ve got what I want; I owe you nothing; goodbye”.

I’ve had an idea that might work:

Provide answers and solutions to all the questions and problems except one, perhaps the most critical one, then say:-

  • While I’m looking into this, would you mind telling me how you found or heard about Indexer?
  • While I’m looking into this, would you be willing to provide a testimonial?
  • While I’m looking into this, would you mind telling your friends and colleagues about Indexer?

Talk to Me !
