Has this ever worked for you? Seriously? Even once?

The part 2 sentences later, where they ask you why you want to shoot them, and you explain that they aren't smart enough to understand what you mean must be super persuasive.

You want to get someone to sign up for cryo? Tell them it is cheap and Beyonce is doing it. Tell them Trump will try to take away their right to get the good kind of cryo. Tell them the peace of mind from the policy will help them lose weight. Tell them you will pay them five hundred bucks in cash when you see the bracelet. Tell them anything but what you proposed.

This is more something you would do for a laugh than something that is intended as a serious recruitment strategy. There is a disclaimer at the top of the post.

Cryo has bad signalling value - signals weird + selfish. It's hard to overcome this but I am open to suggestions.

Have you tried any of your own proposed tactics?
