Death Of The Sales Letter

by Igor KheifetsMarketing Software

Death Of The Sales LetterList building aside, the one thing that’s responsible for making millions of dollars in sales for the gurus is Video Marketing.

It has been over 2 years since Frank Kern used a real sales letter and Ryan Deiss has just announced that in the near future he’s going to change his entire marketing infrastructure to video as well.
