The Secret To Explosive Online Sales
What’s the shortcut secret to doubling or tripling your online sales?
Using more the one sales medium!
You see, there are plenty of people that won’t join you on a webinar. Why? Because they don’t want to give up 90 minutes or more of their life.
As you know, some webinars are great. They are interesting and deliver tons of value.
Equally, you know that some webinars are slow, boring, take forever to get to the point and don’t really give any great insights.
We are all influenced by what has happened to us most recently. So if someone in your community has recently attended another webinar and thought it was a waste of their time, then they are much less likely to join you for yours.
If you have built a huge amount of trust with them then you can overcome their doubts about webinars.
But…
Why take the chance?
Why try and force your community to do something they don’t want to?
Isn’t it better to simply give them what they want?
If they prefer to read your story and your offer, then let them.
That’s why you need to multiple sales mediums if you want to double or triple your online sales.
So what are the sales mediums that you need?
- Written – in the form of a sales letter
- Webinar or online training – where your community joins you live
- Video
Let’s look at each of these in turn and examine what makes them so powerful.
Written / Sales Letter
In my experience a long copy sales letter always pulls in more sales than 2 webinars.
What is a long copy sales page?
It’s one long webpage or letter that tells the story of how you discovered your product or solution… what difference this solution has made to your life… a detailed explanation of what you are offering… and a reason why your reader should act now.
In short, a sales page is a sales presentation written down.
But…
Unlike with a face to face conversation you do not have the luxury of asking the customer if they fully understand what you are saying. You also do not have the luxury of being able to answer their questions.
So…
You must answer every question or objection to the sale in your letter!
Now do you see how easy it is to write a sales letter that is 3,500 words or more!
A well written sales letter should be like driving a sports car on a perfectly smooth road on a warm summers day: A Thrilling Ride!
You’ve got to grab your customers attention by appealing to their passions. You’ve got to let your reader know in the headline that they are in for A Thrilling Ride.
If the headline does not grab their attention… start a story… and appeal to their greed… then you’ll lose your reader.
Once your headline has given you the immediate and focused attention of your reader, the rest of the ad has to keep them reading at breathless pace until they reach the sale.
Copywriting is not about great literature.
It’s about speaking to your ideal customer in their words and showing them in ways that they can see and feel what your product or service will do for them.
That might sound complicated but once you truly understand your customers wants and desires, once you can write a page in their diary, then writing in their words becomes easy and fun.
How do you fully understand your customer? By creating a Customer Avatar, or what I call Painting a portrait of your ideal customer. To discover how to do that please read this previous blog post: The 10 Most Powerful Customer Profiling Questions
Webinars
Webinars are powerful persuasion tools because they let you do the following 3 things:
- Give a trial of your product
- Answer your customers questions
- Build a stronger relationship with your community
As you know webinars are a teaching tool. Your community will attend a webinar if they are going to learn something new. If they are going to get immediately valuable information for free.
But what are you going to teach?
If you are selling a 3-step system then you need to show your community what the steps are and why they are important.
In this way, you are sharing insights and giving immediately valuable information and giving your customers a trial of your product.
By joining your community live they can ask you questions. Their questions reveal where your presentation is lacking. Their questions also reveal their doubts about using your system.
Ultimately, their questions show you how you can improve your presentation. They also give you the opportunity to demonstrate your expertise by answering their questions on the fly.
Social Proof
It’s no great surprise that you are going to tell the world how great your product or service is. That’s why you must have 3rd party social proof.
You see, the bigger your promise the more unbelievable it is. So… the greater the need for proof of your claims.
You potential customers want to make giant leaps in the quality of their life. They also don’t want to look like a fool.
So you must show them people just like them that have improved the quality of their life when they use your product or service or system.
The best testimonials are stories. They share the following with the reader or viewer:
- What their life looked like before they used your system or product
- What made them trust you
- The results that they have enjoyed
- What difference has this made to the quality of their life
Combining Persuasion Tools
So how do you combine all these elements to enjoy explosive growth in your business?
With a product launch!
A product launch is a structured way to take your ideal customer on a journey to discover what their life would look like when they use your product or service.
A product launch uses every medium available: sales page & webinar & video to make it as easy as possible for your ideal customer to make an informed decision.
When you get a product launch right, you strengthen the relationship with your community so even if they don’t buy now they are likely to in the future.
How is that possible?
Because you are giving great content, sharing inspirational personal stories and giving up your time to help them improve the quality of their life. Yes, you are also telling them how they can work with you further but this should never be a hard sell. This should only be an opportunity that they seize when it’s right for them.
I hope you found this useful and that you use multiple mediums in your next marketing campaign so you can double or triple your expected results.
