Hi. My name is Joanna, and I am part of the mornig show at WDST in Woodstock. Your magazine seems really insane and useful, and I’m interested in ordering a subscription. However, I need permission from my boss. If possible, I’d like to receive a complimentary issue. This way, we could review it together and decide if your publicatio suits our needs.
1) I do not send out complimentary issues.
2) Subscriptions are not available.
3) I am not sure how our magazine can possibly suit the needs of a morning radio show. Nevertheless, I will tell you that our next issue will not be available for some months. An announcement will be made on the web site when this happens. [special additional webnote here: If ANYONE is going to pay for a magazine, it’s someone who’s going to use it for their damn JOB]
