TL;DR Change your mindset

By referring to people as "tire kickers" that literally tells everyone across the blockchain and anyone you have interacted with that you do not care about people. It shows that you are more interested in how much someone is willing to spend. It shows that you are not building relationships or trust.

People are more than willing to take action and even gasp spend money, when they feel that the person they are spending money with gives a crap about them. As an affiliate, we refer people to products and services. If someone doesn't feel the product or service fits their needs, there is high chance that they won't buy it.

If your first interaction with someone is "How much money are you willing to spend?" It only tells them that you are there for one purpose and one purpose only, to get their money.

If your product or service is nothing more than "Spend $10k and you will be set for life", the odds that someone will purchase it are very very slim. Especially when people know that you are not set for life. You are only representing a dream in which you do not currently have.

I could go on and on about this topic, but at the end of the day, people take action and purchase only when they feel that the seller has their best interest at heart. By calling them "free tire kickers" almost nobody will buy anything from you.
