In his latest email Ken McCarthy wrote about “Perfect game vs. the perfect storm”.

You’ve probably heard the phrase “the perfect storm” a lot in the last six months.

In fact, I heard one TV news commentator threaten to shoot the next person who used it.

At the risk of getting shot…

A “perfect storm” is what happens when weather patterns come together to create a mega-storm, sort of what’s happening in the credit markets which is why the phrase is being used over and over again today.

Today, I want to talk about something else, a perfect game.

In baseball, a “perfect game” is when a pitcher (or a combination of pitchers) throws a winning game in which not one single opposing batter scores or even reaches first base.

In 132 years of major league baseball history, it’s only happened a grand total of 17 times.

That equals once out of 11,000 games.

*** The funny thing about perfect games

The funny thing about perfect games is they’re completely unpredictable.

The pitcher shows up, ready to go to work, without even the vaguest clue as to what’s about to happen.

Sure he’s prepared, sure he has a positive outlook, but a perfect game? Who expects that?

Not only are perfect games a surprise to everyone involved, but it’s usually not until the sixth or seventh inning that people realize it’s even a possibility.

Yet, perfect games happen.

Not a lot, but they do happen.

Last weekend in Chicago at System 2009, we had a perfect game.

In retrospect, it makes sense that we would.

* Google sent a speaker (for the second year in a row.)

* We had three speakers who’ve passed Google’s rigorous, No BS certification process

* We covered new developments in pay-per-click, SEO, cost per action, mobile marketing, tracking, testing and conversion that are so far head of the curve, they’re not even on any one else’s radar.

What seemed like a big “gamble” – reducing the System faculty from twenty-five to just eight – paid off big time.

It yielded better focus, better content, and a better experience for everyone, faculty and attendees combined.

In fact, this year’s System Seminar was so good, it’s inspired us to do something we’ve never done before…

Something that will finally put a System Seminar training within everyone’s reach…so you can pitch your “perfect game” someday too.

P.S. If you’ve been around Internet marketing for a while, you know the routine…

Practically unknown experts are given a chance to speak at the System Seminar.

They present techniques and strategies that are so far ahead of the pack that you can’t find them anywhere else.

Many months later (though sometimes it takes years), the ideas *finally* make it to the rest of the world, but by then it’s too late.

Everybody knows them and copycat gurus have converted the scraps into multi-thousand dollar “coaching programs” and other products from the rear end of a bull.

As every cowboy knows, it always pays to drink the water upstream.It’s a lot fresher.

And that’s what the System has consistently been – a low cost,high value way to see the next ‘Big Thing’ in Internet marketing months and years *before* anyone else.

This year with the emergence of mobile marketing…the continuously escalating demands from Google for quality sites…the collapse of complicated SEO schemes peddled by snake oil salesmen…and a flock of brand new free and low cost tools to explode conversion rates…

There’s never been a better time to get ahead of the curve and drink the water straight from the source.
