Hi Vincent,

 

We have a researcher in our company and their job is to search for potential authors and their works. And if our research team found out that the book has potential and substance they will going to give the lists of authors and their corresponding information to me and as a specialist I’ll be the one to help authors promote their books through our services. I hope I was able to answer all the questions that you’ve asked.

 

Thanks.

Jay:

 

Thanks again for your timely answer.  Unfortunately, both of my simple questions seem to have generated vague, unsatisfying responses.  They could be about any author, any book.

 

As you know, a major component of marketing is the first impression that a marketing team or specialist conveys.    Another component is engaging the target on a personal level.  I fear you have failed on both of these levels and I have a hard time thinking your marketing campaign would be any more focused or representative of what I have produced to date. 

 

Thank you for your interest.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

 

Best,

 

Vincent

Hi Vincent,

 

I understand your decision. Well, if that’s what you think I can’t do something about it. Anyway, good luck to your books I hope it will do well.

Many thanks, Jay!

 

I do want you to know that I offer proofreading and tutoring services and would be delighted to assist you.  For instance, “good luck to your books I hope it will do well” is confusing.  You rightly wrote I have “books” (plural) but then you hope that “it” (singular) does well.  Additionally, you conveyed two separate thoughts yet failed to separate them with a period or semi-colon.  You will certainly agree that marketing books yet conveying little knowledge of language and grammar might negatively impact your success.

 

However, I am confident I can help you reverse that and obtain greater success.  Act now and I will give you the first consultation (above) for free!

 

I look forward to hearing from you and helping you realize your dreams!

 

Best,

 

Vincent
