You may get a few nibbles from other members of your email list, but there are some stalwarts who’ll buy anything you sell and then there are some lurkers who have been there for a while and you just can’t crack that nut! 

Well, we’ve got to break a tough truth to you right now: those customers are tired of what you’re trying to sell them.
