 Hey guys, this is Merrily Johnson with Robbie Kramer. He just finished his 2014 speech. How long have you been speaking now? First speech was in 2011 at Orlando, so I guess this was my fourth 21 convention speech. Nice. And this one was really different than others. Most of the other speeches are broad topics and they're not giving you specific speakers. It was super specific. A lot of it had to do with texting and just when you first meet somebody. I wanted you to talk about the thing that you had with memes. Okay. Yeah, well I did it. I purposely chose a topic that was very specific because there's such awesome speakers here and I feel like you always need a balance of the overview, the principles, and then you need application. And it's really important as a guy learning anything that you have both. So I wanted to provide really concrete step-by-step instructions for how you can become a better communicator and texting is so important because if you get a phone number, odds are you're never going to see that person again unless you can arrange a meet-up and the best way to do that is through texting. And you asked me about memes, right? So I stumbled across memes a couple years ago and for those people out there who don't know what a meme is, it's just a picture with a funny caption on it. Internet memes, they're super popular on sites like Reddit. You can use memes basically in lieu of texting and a picture says a thousand words and a meme says a thousand words plus whatever caption is on the meme and it's a great way to show your personality to say things that you couldn't otherwise say. It's kind of just like a social hack to get by the standard ways of communication between men and women and memes is in my opinion the most fun and fastest way from point A to point B. And you seem to have a science behind texting that you're really pioneering because I've never seen anybody else do it. How did you come across that? Mainly just from recognizing the patterns of what works and what doesn't and I run a group where clients are constantly posting screenshots of text message conversations between them and the women that they've exchanged numbers with. So my experience just from texting the girls that I get their numbers and all of my clients' numbers really added up fast. So like I said on stage, I'm texting with typically around 150 to 200 women at one time. Not the numbers I'm getting but my clients. So I found that there's a very standard kind of step by step pattern that just evolves. And if you can see the pattern, you know how to better navigate it more efficient. So I found that you don't have to send hundreds of text messages to get a day. You can probably send three to six and that's all you need. So if I meet someone and I get their number and I want to text them, how do I kill that conversation? How do I just like make it so this person is never going to call me again? Don't respond or say take care. Take care is like the kiss of death. Any time a woman says take care, that's usually her nice way of saying I'm never going to talk to you again. But best of luck in life. And the flip side of that is then how do I make sure that they text me back? As a woman? No, for a male audience. Like so sorry, if I get a text, how do I make sure she responds? So never ask closed-ended questions. People just have a reason for texting either to create attraction, to flirt back and forth or to set up a date. And if you attempt to set up a date and she doesn't respond, that's her way of saying that she's not that interested. So then I go back to creating more fun to show her that I'm worth hanging out with and I'll do that through sending a meme or acknowledging the fact that she didn't respond to my text in a funny way. Like if you don't text me back, I'll send you a meme that says no text back, you hate me don't you? Which is an absurd way to call out the fact that I know you didn't respond but it's not that big of a deal. If you want to respond and hang out, cool, but if not, no big deal. That's such good information. I think yeah, there's so many people that you're going to love his speech, you're going to love his speech on texting and in the meantime, where do they find you? You can find me at innerconfidence.com and for a preview of the speech and to kind of go through what it is I talked about, you can actually go to, it's a little bit of a mouthful, it's innerconfidence.com slash texting dash quick start dash kit. We're probably going to put it down here so you guys can see it right down here. We'll probably flash that across the screen. It was nice talking to you. We're so happy to have you here. We're going to see you again. I'm sure and guys look forward to that speech. Bye.
