🧠 Neden Bu İşe Yarar:
Saying NO creates scarcity and brand strength. Your ideal customers will pay MORE when they see you reject bad fits.
🧠 Neden Bu İşe Yarar:
Radical generosity creates loyal evangelists. The 1% who book tours will 10x your revenue vs. nickel-and-diming everyone.
🧠 Neden Bu İşe Yarar:
Trust > Tricks. When customers see you're not ripping them off, they tip MORE and book more tours.
🧠 Neden Bu İşe Yarar:
Artificial scarcity + quality = premium pricing. You're not Disneyland. You're the local friend with a boat.
🧠 Neden Bu İşe Yarar:
When you remove risk and add generosity, people overcompensate. Average "pay what you want" = 130% of list price.
🧠 Neden Bu İşe Yarar:
Friction filters tire-kickers. Quality customers will find you. Plus: save 30% on platform fees = lower prices.
🧠 Neden Bu İşe Yarar:
Business shouldn't feel like business. Create a community, not a supply chain.
🧠 Neden Bu İşe Yarar:
Your competitive advantage isn't efficiency—it's humanity. Rushing kills magic.
🧠 Neden Bu İşe Yarar:
Your brand is defined by what you refuse. Every "no" makes your "yes" more valuable.
