Here's a summary of the first phonecall from WG! Actually I'll save the Action part for post number four.
Attention: "I got your details from the research company we use to find potential clients and your profile fits perfectly that of a very successful businessman!"
Ok, you got my attention! Clearly they know that I'm handsome, cool and intelligent, because someone interviewed me in phone for 5 minutes. Hey, at least he made me feel that way. Anyway, a little professional courtesy goes a long way when you want to sell something and these guys know it.
Interest: "I have very important news for you that I know you will want to hear!"
This fellow had a very charming british accent and I can imagine that ladies would pay a lot to experience him pouring honey in their ears. Naturally he went through a lot of trouble to just get these two stages out of the way, and we spent perhaps 30+ minutes talking just to get this far - He was calling from Paris to Helsinki and on top of that to a cell phone. I'm not sure what it costs but I know its not free.
However at the point where he raised my interest I became aware that this is actually a sales person trying to sell me something and thus I became a little bit wary.
Desire: "*lots of information about Cellceutix Corporation and their product pipeline*"
Bottom line: His company has Cellceutix Corporation shares which he would like to part with. WG analysts have researched CTIX a lot and so WG has bought a lot of its shares earlier at around 1 USD a share. They had now risen in price to about 1,75 USD a share so their company had made a good investiment. But wait! It gets better.
Turns out WG is actually a private banking company that wants new customers for their stock brokers. It makes sense - They want customers to buy a share, they take 1% commission, then they want customers to sell it with profit - Again they take 1% commission, but from bigger lump of money since the stocks have (hopefully) risen in price. I get that and its cool because thats how the financial system works. 1% is quite a lot thought.
He wanted me to set up an account in their company and wanted to sell me these CTIX shares at a -10% discount. I would immeditiately make a small profit since his commission would be 1% and I would get 10% discount. I get that too - They have a stock that has risen greatly in price and they'll still make a very good margin from buying at 1 and selling at about 1,60 - They could make better margin by selling directly in stock market but they want a new customer and the 10% price difference is their advertisement cost. I can understand that too.
Thing is that during this desire phase he let me know that CTIX is about the bought out and marged in to a bigger company during 1st quarter of 2014. OK! Now he had my attention, interest and desire! But it gets better still!
