And The Decision Is…
Well, here’s a funny thing… As soon as I made my last post I got a call from a friend and after we’d finished chatting, I realised that the countdown to Rich Schefren’s Coaching Program had only 8 minutes left.
So I quickly had another read of the sales page (which seems to grow each time I look at it) to see if I really wanted to go ahead or not. But I couldn’t read fast enough. As time was running out, all I could do was watch the timer count down the last 20 seconds or so like watching the last grains of sand trickle down through an hour glass, until it finally told me that the offer had “Expired”.
My indecision had made the decision for me. The interesting thing is that my gut reaction was that of dissapointment. That I’d missed out on a really important opportunity. That I was too late.
Or so I thought…
You see it occurred to me that it was only midday here in the UK and that the deadline was supposed to be midday Eastern Standard Time (5 pm UK time). That would make sense as most of the punters are in the US and they’re only just getting up about now.
And that would also explain why the available slots had hardly changed during the last few hours when I’d have expected activity to be the most manic. Maybe the counter will work in Rich’s favour after all!
So I clicked the link and it’s still active. Yippee! I get to have another 5 hours of indecision!
So here’s a little tip if you ever want to put a timer on your Web site, whether it’s the countdown to a launch or the countdown to the expiry of an offer – please make sure that it’s based on the actual date and time of the event and not the local time of the person viewing the site!
