I saw
some of the photos you posted from your trip - it looked like such a blast!
- Then when they ask about you, share this:
“Yeah [Their name] I've just started training to become a digital marketing consultant,
It's been super interesting
...
Do you know anyone who owns a business and would like
some free help with their marketing? I’d love to try out some of the cool strategies I’m
learning and help someone at the same time"
What to say when they respond
- If they ask you to help THEM with their business: "Sure that would be great
...
What's a
good time for you?"
- If they say they have a specific friend they think would appreciate the help: "Thanks
so much, [Friend's Name]! If you’re comfortable, you could just send a quick intro
message to them, or I can follow up if you share their contact info
...
"
-
If they say no: "No worries [Their Name] what's your plan for [next big holiday ]"
How to set up the sales call
- Keep it low pressure
- Stay calm and keep things low-key
- Never call it a sales call to them and just call it a sit down, meeting or call
- Choose the Best Way to Meet
1
...
2
...
3
...
- Make It Easy for Them
- Get their email address and send a Google Calendar invite
...
Questions about first client sales call
- "What if I don't know any business owners?" You don’t need to! Your network knows
business owners, and you’ll tap into that
...
" You never will feel confident enough

Start small and improve as you go

" Remember you're HELPING them not
taking from them, and you're offering to help for FREE

...
Try it first
...
If warm outreach
doesn't pan out for you, I'll show you how to get your first client via Local Outreach
Why local outreach works
- Turn being new into your advantage
...
Sharing the same town, city, or community builds trust and
opens doors for opportunities
...
Get your foot in the door, then let your
results speak for themselves
...
Work with businesses that make a lot of money per
customer
...
Skip coffee shops, restaurants, and craft makers—they
pay less
...
Successful businesses with satisfied clients are more
likely to invest
...

-
They have bigger budgets

Example sales call transcript

...
How’s everything going for you and the business right now?”
Contractor: “Not bad, but we’ve hit that time of year when leads slow down
...
But it’s great that you’re
thinking ahead
...
Does that
sound good?”
2
...
Can I ask you a few quick questions?”
Contractor: “Sure, go for it
...
”
Copywriting Student: “Got it
...
”
Copywriting Student: “How are you currently attracting new customers? Are you using ads,
referrals, or something else?”
Contractor: “Mostly word of mouth and the occasional social media post
...
On average, how many new customers are you getting each
month?”
Contractor: “Maybe 5 to 10, but it’s inconsistent
...
”
3
...
Now, let’s talk about where you’re looking to
grow
...
”
Copywriting Student: “And what’s the biggest challenge you’re facing in hitting that goal?
What’s holding you back?”
Contractor: “Leads, plain and simple
...
”
Copywriting Student: “Are there areas where you feel like you’re missing opportunities to
attract more customers?”
Contractor: “Yeah, I feel like we should be doing more online, but I don’t know where to
start
...
I never know if I’ll have enough work lined up
...
Presenting the Solution
Copywriting Student: “Thanks for being so upfront
...
Here’s why: we can target homeowners in
your area who are actively searching for roofing services—like ‘roof repair near me’ or ‘roof
replacement [City]
...
”
Contractor: “Interesting
...
When they click, they come straight to you, ready to talk
business
...
”
5
...
- If your ad spend is around $2,000 per month, that’s a 40x return on investment
...
That’s why I’m proposing a low-risk way to get started
...
You’ll only cover the
ad spend
...
Sound fair?”
Contractor: “Okay, that sounds pretty good
...
Handling Objections
Contractor: “What if I don’t like the ads you come up with?”
Copywriting Student: “No worries—you’ll have the final say before anything goes live
...
Think of it as
a test drive—you’re in control
...
Closing & Next Steps
Copywriting Student: “Alright, here’s what I’ll do next:
- I’ll research your target market and competitors to make sure the ads are
laser-focused
...

results

...
Is the value I’m going to get worth the cost?
2
...
Do I trust the person/company selling me this product?
Think of these questions as levels
● Is the value I’m going to get worth the cost?
○ Cost: What they’re going to need to “give” in order to get what you’re offering
■ Price
■ Effort
■ Time
■ Sacrifice
○ Current feeling of pain/desire: How much they currently want to get what
you’re offering them
● Do I believe the product will work?
○ Certainty threshold: How certain they have to be willing to act
■ Cost
■ Personality
■ Guarantees
○ Current belief the idea will work: How well they understand your solution and
how certain they are that your idea can actually deliver the value you’ve
promised
■ Logic
■ Science or Credible Source
■ Social Proof
■ Demonstration of Results
■ How closely the product/service fits my personal situation
● Do I trust the person/company selling me this product?
○ Trust threshold: How much they need to trust the company/person selling to
them in order to buy
■ Cost
■ Personality
○ Trust in the company/person selling: How much they know, like and trust the
business or person selling to them right now
■ Familiarity and personal experience with company/person
■ Social Proof
■ Other person you trust vouches for them
■ Primal leadership indicators
■ Official certification or qualification
Example - Increasing Desire
- By connecting a feeling of importance and status with a product
Example - Increasing belief in idea
- By backing up claims with a scientific study, the reader is more likely to believe the
product will work
- By providing a simple logical explanation, the idea of the product “makes sense” and
the reader’s belief increases
Example - Increasing trust in company
- By showing an overwhelming amount of what’s known as “social proof”
Get good at both getting attention and then monetising attention and you can dominate any
market
Funnels
- The flow of content and marketing material that businesses use to get attention and
guide people to buy are called funnels
- You’re gonna help increase businesses’ sales by either improving their existing
funnels or helping them make new ones
- You design your funnel to match the way your market acts online and how they buy
your kind of product
Example funnel - search
- Use search engine to find info/solution → click on on best search result → read
content/sales page → buy/CTA
Example funnel - social media
- Scroll on feed → see interesting content → check profile → follow → consume
valuable content over time → CTA content that directs to their product/service page
→ buy/CTA
Example funnel - paid ads
- Scroll on feed/search → see paid ad → visit sales page → buy/CTA
Example funnel - B2B direct sales funnel
- Receive DM/email/cold call → check online presence → book sales call → attend
sales call → buy
Example funnel - Backend email newsletter funnel
- Landing page for lead magnet → intro email delivering lead magnet → valuable lead
magnet + CTA → buy
- Landing page for lead magnet → intro email delivering lead magnet → valuable
content with soft sell at end → direct CTA email → buy
- Landing page for lead magnet → intro email delivering lead magnet → valuable
content with soft sell at end → buy
Map out a “funnel”
- Go find a business online
- Map out their steps in their customer acquisition funnel on a piece of paper
- List out any “moves” they use at each step to grab attention or raise levels from the
“Will they buy?” diagram
Reminder: Your job
- We engineer experiences for the reader to:
1
...
Then get them to buy/act
- We have to plan both the outcome we want, and then the flow the reader needs to go
through to make the objective happen
Scope
- Each step along the way of the funnel is its own “mini experience”
- One mini-experience hands the reader off to the next mini-experience and then the
next all the way to the end
- Your job is to make sure that each of those little pieces together “does its job”
Winner’s writing process
1
...
Who am I talking to?
- What kind of people are my target audience? What do they want?
3
...
What do I want them to do?
- What specific actions do I want them to take at the end of this little
experience?
5
...
You
want to clone their best customers
...
- Ideally pick the most affluent and most “helped” people you see
But we have so many different kinds of customers
- There are often wide variations in “Demographic” qualities, but very little variation in
the “Psychographic” details
- Focus on the overlap
What do you need to know about them?
1
...
Current painful state
3
...
Values, belief and tribal affirmations
- Use this google doc template
https://docs
...
com/document/d/1u8hDChmNPgDRgWiG_uOyWVqFMDsVZH54
hDIujaua0l4/edit?tab=t
...
Your client’s existing customers and testimonials (interview them if possible)
2
...
Talking with anyone you personally know who matches the target market (gold mine)
4
...
People oversharing their thoughts and feelings online
- YouTube (Comments, “My journey” type videos)
- IG, X, Meta groups, Reddit
- Other forums
- Amazon reviews
- Yelp and google business/map reviews
Create an “avatar”
- Eventually you’ll create a specific “person” who matches your target market
- Can be based on someone you find in your research, can be completely created from
scratch
- Should get to the point where you can predict how they are going to think and react
...
-
-
When you start planning and writing your copy you’re going to imagine this person in
your mind
You need:
- Face
- Name
- Background details
- “Day in the life” what their life is like and how they feel and think throughout
their day
Go perform deep market research for your starter client
- Identify who your target market is
- Fill out as much of the research doc as you can based on what data you find
- Create an avatar for you to use as you plan out your copy
Why it matters how they think about their problems
- Most people are at least vaguely aware of their pains and desires and have an idea
of how to fix them
- They might be right, they might be wrong
- Either way you need to understand how they think about their problems and solutions
so you can lead them to your product or service
The main ideas
- Most people unconsciously think about their problems in these terms
- Current painful state: Their thoughts and emotions surrounding their current situation
- Desirable dream state: Their thoughts and emotions surrounding what they wish their
situation was
- Roadblocks: The problems they need to solve in order to get what they want
- Solutions/Mechanisms: The way they can solve the roadblocks
- Product: The package of goods and services that allows the reader to implement the
solution to their problems and go from their current state to their desired state
Identity Products
- Some products don't really solve an active problem
- Instead they give the reader a brand new way to satisfy a basic desire (like fun)
- Or more commonly they allow the reader to increase status and adopt a new identity
Example - Plumber
- Current state: Leaky faucet causing property damage
- Dream state: Faucet fixed, no more damage, normal life
- Roadblock: Valve is broken
- Solution: Replace valve
- Product: Hire XYZ plumber to come out, find problem, and replace faucet for you
Example - Protein
- Current state: Skinny and snappable
- Dream state: Strong and larger muscles
- Roadblock: Lack of protein from normal diet to sustain muscle growth after training
- Solution: Increase protein intake
-
Product: Buy XYZ protein powder to supplement your diet with extra protein
Example - Copywriters
- Current state: Not getting enough new high ticket customers
- Dream state: 100 new high ticket purchases next week
- Roadblock: Page is not showing enough value or credibility
- Solution: Page needs to be rewritten using specific triggers to increase these
emotions
- Product: Hire good copywriter ro perform the rewrite and increase sales
Identify your projects basic elements
- Current state
- Desirable dream state
- Roadblocks
- Solution
- Product

Mechanism/Product metaphors

- Product: Best possible factory line with machines to do it all quickly and efficiently
Mechanism/Product metaphors
- Current state: Unsure
- Dream state: Know your fate
- Roadblock: The future hasn’t happened yet
- Solution/Mechanism: Magic ball to see the future
- Product: This Zoltar guy is best at using the magic ball
Mistakes people make who don’t understand these ideas
- They pretend products are magic: Products don’t solve problems, solutions do
- They sell things not dream outcomes
- But most of all, they miss HUGE opportunities to dominate their market
Level 1 - Problem unaware: Catch their attention then reveal hidden problem/need/desire
Level 2 - Problem aware: Call out their problems then offer solution
Level 3 - Solution aware: Call out the known situation then offer product as best form of
solution
Level 4 - Product aware: Buy now, urgency, scarcity, risk reversal, social proof, crank
pain/desire/need etc
...
...
The specific desire/need you are targeting has not been addressed by
other products and services yet

They make big claims until their results slow down, and the only
thing they can think of is just make even BIGGER claims
...
Stage 3 - Market tires of claims
- The market has seen all the exaggerated claims and doesn't believe them
anymore
...
- Best move - Lead with a unique mechanism
- E
...
“New “Keto” diet let’s you lose 45 lbs in 6 weeks”
- Having an efficient, unique and difficult to copy mechanism is a MAJOR
advantage because it will allow you stay and dominate the market at this stay
and dominate the market at this stage of sophistication
...
Stage 4 - Market tires of your mechanism
- Other businesses are using your mechanism so you must show your market
that your version of the mechanism is better than theirs
- Best move: Position your version of the mechanism as unique, bigger and
better
- E
...
“Keto program with 151 alternative, keto-friendly recipes for all your
favourite ‘cheat’ meals so you never fall off your diet”
- Most markets you’ll work in are at stages 4 and 5 of sophistication
Stage 5 - Market is tired of everything
- They no longer believe your claims or and all the mechanisms in the market
appear the same
- Best move: Several options

- Show that it is desirable by others (especially in their tribe)
- Demand triggers demand
- Make scarcity and urgency plays
- Supply is limited, time to act is limited
What is curiosity
- An urge to close a knowledge gap around something and valuable
- Having a “puzzle piece” missing from complete perfection
- Being out of the loop and wanting to get in the loop
- Cliffhanger feeling, “I have to see what’s inside/happens next”
- Creating an interesting unanswered question in their mind that can only be answered
after they perform the action you want
Humans have undying need to figure things out
- We are naturally inquisitive beings
- It’s what has allowed us to find valuable breakthroughs in the past
- We find a lot of hidden threats and opportunities this way
We add curiosity to every stage of the sales process to drive action

...
Product page
- Tease info/experience that can only be answered by ordering the product

Headline that teases something interesting
- You get the promised reward as you continue to read on

Why authority and trust are key to the sale
- Foundation for belief in product
...
(shortcut for thinking)
- Allow you to charge higher prices and keep a customer for longer
- Reader wants to avoid being tricked or SOLD
- Can give you a significant advantage over competitors
Establish authority
- They need to see you as someone worth following and capable of delivering the
desired result
- Tribal/primal authority markers
- Basic appearance (big, strong, healthy)
- Abundant attitude (non-needy attitude)
- Confidence (i am in a solid unthreatened position)
- Abundant resources
- Other people already following this person (social proof)
- “I have/am what you want for yourself”
- Other indicators
- Association with other authorities/celebrities
- Credentials from trusted sources
- Book, podcast, etc (indicators of superior understanding and attention)
- Longevity in the space (been in business for 25 years)
- Demonstrated superiority in key metric
- Have created the results you want for themselves and others
Build trust
- They are always risks to buying and acting
- They need to know that their best interests will be respected and met
- They need to know they will get what they want and you won’t screw them
How to build trust
- They best way is a long mutual history of “trust building interaction”
- Establishing this kind of relationship will provide a near unbeatable advantage
in a market
- Trust shortcuts
- Tiny elements that indicate you are worth trusting… at least a little
- Avoiding red flags
Trust building transactions - the path to mega trust
- The more positive times through the cycle the higher the trust
- Single negative betrayal of trust will do more damage than the good from a single
positive reward of trust
- Giving MORE than was promised is a way to hyper-accelerate the increase of trust
- I make a promise or recommendation → you decide to trust me and take the action I
recommend → I honour that trust and you get the promised reward (or more) → your
level of trust in me goes up → (process repeats)
Trust shortcuts
- Authority/status
- Empathy
- He understands me and is making his recommendation based off that
understanding
- Social proof
- Lots of other people have trusted me
-
-
-
-
-
-
Affinity
- He looks like me and is part of my some tribe
Familiarity
- Details and time
Referred by another trusted source
- The Joe Rogan effect
Making believable claims, backed up with proof
Brutal honesty about one’s own weakness
Reveal a new and better way of understanding the world
Avoid trust red flags
- “Salesman” markers
- Pushing for the sales (too early)
- Let them buy from you not be sold
- Making a recommendation before understanding their situation
- Desperation
- Being too eager
- Evading questions and concerns
Example - social media funnels
- Look at how they build trust over time and how it makes the sale at the end really
easy
- Ryan humiston’s YouTube
- Peter Attia’s Instagram
- Patrick Bet-David’s YouTube
Both emotions and logic are needed
- Emotions is the engine
- Painful current state → desirable dream state
- Logic is the tracks
- “I know what I need to do and believe it will work for me”
- Without a logical belief in the ideas you expres, the emotions will not be enough to
get them where you want them to go
You’ve got to fully understand the logic of the roadblock/solution/product relationship for your
offer before you can convince anyone else
List what beliefs they need to have in order to take the desired action
- What do they need to believe about me?
- What do they need to believe about the promised results?
- What do they need to believe about the solution?
- What do they need to believe about my product or service?
- What other beliefs do they need? What beliefs would make the sale/action easier?
The “claim→proof” pattern
- Every time you make a significant claims you should back that claim up with “proof”
- Proof takes a lot of forms
- The larger or extreme the claim the more proof you should be able to provide
-
Showing is almost always better than telling
Demonstrating proof - seeing is believing
- Showing the product actively what you say it will do
- Actual “receipts” of any claimed action, credential or outcome
- Before and after
- Screenshot of articles, charts, statistics, studies (keep these simple and not boring)
Layman’s explanation - “It is just makes sense”
- Othen times all you need to establish a belief is a logical simple explanation
- Should be 1-2 lines max
- Avoid getting into the exciting-to-you-but-boring-to-them details
- Make it understandable to a 10 year old
- Exception: for highly analytic buyers you may need to provide a more detailed
explanation
- Example: “There is an ocean between us, this affects them more than us, they
should pay their fair share”
The power of metaphor
- You can often get someone to believe something if you compare it to something else
that already makes sense
- This sort of transfers the understanding and certainty
- Example: “not sleeping over is like driving your car at full speed but never stopping to
fill up the gas tank, eventually you won’t be able to keep going”
Social proof
- Lots of people believe this already, must be legit (quantity)
- People from my tribe believe this (quality)
Proof from outside respected sources
- Less powerful in today’s post truth world
- Scientific studies
- Credible news stories or reports
- Collected data to support claims
“Yeah but will it work for ME?”
- People think they are special and unique… just like everyone else
- The more tailored it is to their “unique situation” the more likely it will work for them
- Empathy with their situation, speak their language, show shared values, show similar
tribe members getting what they want when possible
Subtle use of “belief” language
- If… then…
- Why…
- because …
- This leads to…
- When…
-
Implying causality and logical meaning will subtly increase general belief
Tone of certainty
- Belief is contagious
- If you actually believe something you sound and talk differently than if you’re not sure
- Put yourself in a state of bold certainty when you write
- Use vocal tonality of absolute certainty when you make your claims
- The belief will “resonate” with other humans
Call to action (CTA)
- Now that you have them amped up, curious, beliefs in place, and trusting you… it’s
time to prompt them to take the desired action
- You’ve built up the energy now you need to direct it and release it
CTA best practices
- Match the level of CTA to the levels and position in the funnel
- If they’re brand new, don't ask for 10K
- Usually best to only offer one type of CTA
- Too many options will confuse them and they’ll bounce
- You might repeat your CTA a couple of times throughout your copy
- The first time will catch everyone who is ready, for everyone who doesn’t opt
in, you hit them with more persuasive elements to get them over the edge
- Don’t hit them your CTA too soon
- Wait until they have hit the correct levels before calling them to action
- The lower the “friction” the better
- Make the CTA clear and hard to misunderstand
...
2- try and figure this out by
yourself over the next 10 years 3- buy now, get success fast without
heartache
- Success or excuses?
- “I’ve found that people are either good at making money or making excuses
but you can’t do both pick one
...
- Pain → relief cycle
- Crank the pain, offer and paint relief via the product, on repeat 2-3 times
- Hand hold
- Tell them exactly how to buy
...
That’s why we work so hard
...
Flip it
on them
...
Make
them prove themselves to you

A
rare move not right for most businesses
What are objections
- People have a little internal dialogue going in their brain as they read your copy
- Sometimes as they get close to the decision point they will create little obstacles to
the sale in their mind, reasons why they shouldn’t buy/act
- You need to demolish these obstacles
Ask yourself
- What reasons could they have for NOT buying this product?
- What little excuses could they generate to NOT take action here?
- What hidden doubts might stop them from doing the right thing?
Most common general objections
-
-
-
-
“I don't have time”
“I can’t afford this”
Lack of belief in themselves
Afraid of change
Move #1 - acknowledge → reframe → target
- Acknowledge, soften, validate
- Bring it out to the front where you can control it
...
(Target) As you look at some of the big wins in the same
campus, I want you to see if any of them look more fun than scrolling on IG for 30
min
Move #2 - agree - redefine - target
- Agree
- Say yes they are right about whatever objection they have
- Redefine what you agreed to
- Change what you’re agreeing on
- Target
- Tell them to look at X to answer the objection
Example Move #2
- (Agree) Sure at some point AI will replace human copywriters (Redefine) But they
day it can write as well as me we’ll have worse problems
...
Until that happens let’s stack some money and get
ready for the war!
Move #3 - exclusion
- Call out objection
- Tell them if that’s the kind of person they are, then the offer isn’t for them
- Pick the kind of people that aren’t really gonna buy anyway
- Combine with a positive identity play if possible
- Not a good fit for some markets
Example Move #3
-
(Call out objection) “You might be thinking, “ I don't know this workout program looks
hard I don't know if I can do this” (Exclude) Then I recommend you simply leave now
...
But if you are so
committed to having the physique that turns heads wherever you go, stay on the
webinar and I’ll show you how to get started
The power of “story”
- Stories are how humans have encoded and shared information since the dawn of
time
- We are now hard wired to learn and change via stories
The hero’s journey - The hidden plot to all stories
- Call to adventure → supernatural aid → threshold guardian(s) → threshold
(beginning of transformation) → challenges and temptations (mentor) → revelation:
abyss - death & rebirth → transformation → atonement → return (gift of goddess)
- The hero’s journey is unknown
What makes a good story
- Relatable
- Characters start where they are now
- Conflict & tension
- Challenges and obstacles to overcome
- Connected to their desires
- Hero gets what they want
- Regular “twists”
- Zig, zig, zag!
- Immersive
- Sensory details create vivid images in the audience’s mind
The hook: how you intro your story matters
- Curiosity inducing
- Relevance
- Drama/conflict
- Hint of value
Sympathetic emotional responses
- Makes them associate with the character
- Show the internal experience of the character
- Use sensory language and emotions to trigger a sympathetic response
Shifting beliefs
- Show them how the mechanism worked for them
- Show the character starting with their same current beliefs
- Show the experiences that led to them changing their beliefs
- Show how the new beliefs lead to new results
Building Authority and trust
- Make them identity and relate with the character
-
-
- “Look he thinks/feels/is like me”
Make the character become the hero who is now guiding them
- Use indicators of success, status, primal factors etc
...
Kicked out of the tribe, you died
- These primal forces still drives a major amount of our behaviors including most of our
purchases
- Humans have strong desires to belong, to be part of something bigger than
themselves, to enjoy social interaction and relationships
- We want to contribute, we want to ascend the tribe’s hierarchy
- We have deep internal fears of being rejected, not contributing, not having status in
their tribe
What are the “elements” of a human tribe
- Leaders: those responsible for direction
- Members: each member has a role
- Values/rules/culture: what are the guiding principles the tribe follows
- Activities: the tribe does stuff
- Purpose: sometimes specific sometimes general
- Enemies: us vs “them”
- Resources/territory
Modern tribes
- Tribes have morphed in our modern world
- We are part of many intersecting tribes
- Some tribes we are “born” into
- Other tribe we actively join
- In-person vs virtual
How do we decide to join a tribe?
- Does the group's purpose and vision resonate with me?
- Are the benefits of being in this tribe aligned with my desires?
- Is there alignment between the tribe values and my personal values?
- Do I want to be like the leader? do i want to be like the members?
- Is this tribe STRONG in relation to other tribes
- Test period → then full investment
Evaluating strength
- Leader
- Strength, energy, confidence, competence, track record, VISION
- Size
- Is the tribe growing or shrinking?
- Resources
- Do the tribe members have/get things that I want?
-
Conflict results
- Does the tribe win or lose in competitions with other tribes
How humans build status in their tribes
- Contribute towards achieving the purpose
- Demonstrate they embody the values of the tribe
- Provide value to other members of the tribe
- Embody primal indicators of success and status
- Access to scarce resources
- Demonstrate competence
- Association with other high status members
How tribal factors affect purchase decisions
- Social proof
- “If other members of my tribe are doing this, I’ll do it too”
- Signal membership in tribe
- Does this signal my membership in this tribe?
- Products/services boost status
- Will this object give me status in my tribe?
- Will this product help me achieve greater status?
- Avoid buying/consuming things that would jeopardise their membership or status
- What will X person think of me if I buy Y?
Analyse and copy successful copies and deliver them to the clients on the google docs
Take a break and come back and write freely and let the flow happen
Do multiple drafts
Do bunch of little copies and then piece together or if the ideas flow, do all at once
After you’re done, take break and then come back and start filtering things
Use chatGPT or other people to review your copy
Being disciplined is super important
How to evaluate and improve your writing
- The keys to ensure quality writing and actually produce results
- It’s not just enough to brain dump a bunch of ideas onto a Google Doc
- You need to review your work and improve it until you are confident it will achieve the
desired results
- Writing is an iterative process: OODA loop, Observe → Orient → Decide → Act →
Observe (re-evaluate)
- Step 1 - Read your copy out loud
- For some reason, using your actual voice allows you to detach enough from the
creation of your copy to identify issues
- You’ll notice parts that are clunky or sound weird when read out loud
- Step 2 - Imagine how the avatar will perceive the writing
- “What effect will this create in the reader’s mind?”
- “What can I do to trigger the effect I want in the reader’s mind here?”
- Step 3: Grammar and spelling check
- Grammar and spelling errors will make you look like an amateur in the eyes of your
reader
-
-
-
-
-
“If this is how badly he writes, I wonder how bad the product he’s selling is?”
Use grammarly
...
com and other tools to ensure perfect grammar
and spelling
Always review your own copy
Iterate through your copy and make sure it produces the effect you desire
You’ll learn more about copy during the review process of your copy as well as other
people’s copy than you ever would without it
Example funnel - search

something beneficial
...
The idea is to connect your offer directly to a known desire or need of the business, ensuring
it resonates and prompts further interaction
...
Using specific references about their business, like mentioning aspects of their site or
product, enhances the authenticity and specificity of the message
...
Make believable claims
Offering something desirable, like a boost in revenue, should be based on believable claims
to establish trust
...
The initial communication should be positioned not out of desperation but from a standpoint
of exploring a potentially beneficial partnership
...
Strategy one involves giving a compliment, asking a question to instigate dialogue, and
subsequently presenting your offer and suggesting a call

How to pick which one you offer them
Conduct thorough market and business research to understand the current workings and
pinpoint the businesss explicit dreams and frustrations

The sales call is crucial for understanding their situation in-depth and identifying if a project
will align with their needs
...
Follow up like a G
Implement strategic follow-ups if theres no response, understanding that non-responses
could be due to busyness or disinterest
...
Maintain a non-desperate posture, offering concise, impactful messages that convey value,
and also consider re-engaging much later if initial follow-ups dont yield a response

When confronted with specific inquiries, especially about pricing, gracefully pivot the
discussion towards scheduling a sales call for a detailed conversation

...
Maintain a professional appearance in virtual settings through good lighting, a suitable
backdrop, and clear, calm vocal delivery

Identify the actual problems preventing them from achieving their objectives
...
Situation questions
"Situation Questions" involve garnering more details about the client's story, their goals, and
their current strategies after rapport has been established
...
Prepare varied versions of questions before the call but be ready to adapt them during the
conversation to gather critical information determining their fit and identifying problems and
desires
...
Identifying gaps and issues in their strategies to illuminate areas they cannot resolve
independently

value of finding a solution

They enable the client to mentally shift from seeing the problem as a mere annoyance to
recognizing its value and the positive impact of solving it

Discovery project
A "Discovery Project" involves initiating a smaller-scale project after identifying a client's
situation, goals, and obstacles, serving as a mutual trial period for both consultant and client
...
While enabling the client to achieve quick, tangible results, it also allows you to demonstrate
your value and potentially pave the way for larger-scale, future projects by establishing trust
and showcasing your expertise

Adopt a flexible approach by considering various pricing models like upfront fees combined
with commission, or employing a retainer model, always ensuring that the pricing reflects the
value and results you bring to the client

into one of three categories: lack of trust, disagreement with the idea, or financial
constraints
...
Implementing SPIN (Situation, Problem, Implication, Need/Payoff) questioning effectively
and conducting a thorough discovery project should ideally minimize the occurrence of
objections by addressing concerns proactively
...
Ensuring timely delivery of value and continually exceeding expectations are key to scaling
and enriching the relationship
...
The pivotal moment
The crucial moment in client relations is not securing payment, but ensuring they attain
remarkable results with your assistance

similar successes for other businesses, thus becoming a source of continuous victories
