			<description><![CDATA[You can't care about the person in front of you if you're regging for non-exchangeable donos. If someone asked me for IAS money I'd tell them to hard sell me on it, which is impossible. That quote on a true group member not being defined by money donations would be a good addition. Maybe Jim or someone will see this and could quote it. I was thinking about exactly this recently myself, crush regging vs hard sell. This has happened a lot with Thoughtful's and your articles where you guys say it first. I think we're connecting up esp-wise. Another thought on regging is I've run across some more LRH quotes on regging on wiseoldgoat's blog, which isn't formatted well but there's a lot of good data there. Every single quote assumes money will be donated for exchange. This no exchange regging wasn't even on LRH's radar. In effect what it does is takes money from org staff and sends it to Int. But then Int doesn't feel the urgency to fix non-e auditor training because they've got plenty in reserves. Everything from Ideal orgs to ABLE to WISE, books to libraries (large cut of that going to SO reserves per a report), it's all a mechanism to get money to Int. Like a conspiracy or something. The excuse for hard selling IAS donos now is, "I want you to get through liability and this is how you do it".]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The misunderstood point here is hard sell is NOT crush sell, case in point look at Mary Jo Levitt's KR about her experience lockdown moment where she was basically gang banged by crew of 5 PAC SO exec's in late 2009. Point being, crush selling has gotten worse and worse the past 15-20 years. Any idiot can see from these websites that these momento's are more and more prevelant. Hard sell is an LRH reference point from 1970 or 1971- please don't not compare this to the current IAS crush sell BS. It's a particular reference about one doing the bridge (much less expensive in 1970 or 1971 then), for the tech for a chance for freedom. As for many other religions this has gotten way too pricey for most of us, now.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Unity, unfortunately services cost money to deliver. Therefore, the fact is that some sales are involved and Les Dane's Closing techniques are quite useful whether you are selling a car or the next level on the Grade Chart. Unfortunately, we live in a world where commerce is king. Those are just the facts of life. That said, when you do sell someone something it has to have value to the person. The person has to have some benefit. You don't sell the public lemons which is what Miscavige is doing by threat and extortion. The fact is I was never sold any training level. I just bought it because I had so much benefit from the last. The only thing that I was actually regged to buy was the Golden Age of Tech "Certainty" more like uncertainty course for my level, something that I paid more for than all the training I had bought before that on my own determinism (I personally never paid for auditing with the exception of the OT Levels because I was a trained auditor and could therefore coaudit) which was a total lemon!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Unity, here's an incident I found amusing. Back around 1975, I briefly worked on staff at ASHO. Recently, the desks of the registrars had sprouted cheap, tacky little lamps with red gingham shades. I sat down one day to talk to a guy I knew, and for some reason reached under the shade to turn on the lamp. He sputtered. When I looked underneath, trying to find the switch and saw a micro[censored]one instead, I burst out in laughter. Just couldn't help it! ;-) Turned out there had been a recent order to bug the desks of registrars so someone, somewhere, could listen in and critique their sales tech. I don't know if that "training aid" was personally ordered by LRH himself, but whoever did it ignored the obvious fact that people in orgs gossip enough to know what's going on.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The awareness level of the registrar, on the LRH authored org board, is 'understandings'. THAT is the function of the reg, to bring about understandings. This other gibberish is not Scientology.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The original machine LRH designed to bring people onto services was the letter registrar. It was done through mail. Today, all that has been short-circuited into thousands of tele[censored]one calls and reg interviews mor[censored]ed into "ethics handlings."]]></description>

			<title>Leave the hard sell to the used car dealerships</title>

			<description><![CDATA[Maybe it's just me but obviously "crush regging" is bad but I think even "hard sell" is truly appropriate for a religion/tech/etc... I never like Scientology using "Big League Sales Tech" as part of their program. I understanding wanting to "help" people with what members think is great, life improving tech but these "sales tech" are manipulation and trickery - not help. Sales techniques aren't about "helping" anyone, they are about manipulating people to spend money (many times when they shouldn't be or don't have it to spend). I don't think it should have any part in a religion/[censored]iloso[censored]y . If the religion/[censored]iloso[censored]y works, people will give and buy. No doubt, some of the most powerful religions in the world don't need to use any force, people freely give to something when they feel it benefits them or humanity. Scientology will do its self a world of good and improve its public image massively if it leaves the "hard sell" & "crush regging" to used car salesmen and the cult of miscavige.]]></description>
