The majority of people never get what they want because they are afraid to ask. This fear, here is the solution to that problem, usually leads the person to take a circuitous route of vague inquiries that never land their intended results.
The following is a perfect example of my philosophy, Jeffrey Gitomer style, on how to ask for something without asking. This is an email sent to me by entrepreneur Peter Furia:
------------------------------------------------------------
"Dean,
I wanted to reach out to you quickly with a potential blog post for Dean's Guide. There is a commercial real estate search engine called Rofo.com that just released a short YouTube video that I think real estate agents and consumers both would enjoy.
I've put a link to the video below -- it's at least good for a quick laugh.
Thanks and let me know if I can provide any other info.
-peter"

The Offer-Give
1. Peter offers me content in the form of a very funny video from youtube. He knows that this video will make a great blog post, give my readers a good laugh, and help me with a post that is easy to write and fun
Note: Peter is GIVING not SELLING me first and foremost!
The Take Away
1. Peter's email informs me of a new Commercial Real Estate search engine called Rofo.com
The Description
1. I emailed Peter and complimented him on his Approach and I asked him for a description of what he would like to promote:
"Rofo is a free website for entrepreneurs and small businesses searching for commercial real estate and related services for facilities/office space. Rofo allows you to search local listings, post your real estate needs, read and write reviews and find the right professionals related to your move. Rofo brings in relevant third party data from sites like Google, Microsoft, and Yelp to help businesses make decisions about where to locate their business."
