Top 5 Lessons from My Best-Selling Offers
Creating irresistible offers that drive sales is as much art as it is science. Crafting the ideal offer is about strategy, psychology, and a sprinkle of creativity. Based on the success we’ve achieved with some of our best-selling offers of all time, here are my top five lessons to help you craft offers that sell like.
Lesson #1: Solve the #1 Problem They Know They Have
You might have the perfect product, but if it doesn’t address a problem your target audience is aware of and urgently wants to solve, it won’t sell.
Focus on pain points that keep your potential clients up at night.
They need to:
- Recognize the problem…
- Want to fix it now…
- Be ready to spend money to solve it!
Remember, urgency and awareness are your best friends.
Get inside their heads, understand their struggles, and then offer them the solution to solving their worst nightmares.
Lesson #2: The Better the Offer, The More You Can Charge
Perceived value is the foundation upon which premium pricing is built.
Originally, our Multimedia Info product course was priced at $497. I took a closer look at our offer stack – packed with in-depth modules, expert interviews, and actionable templates – and I knew it was underpriced.
I raised the price to $777 and brought in enough income to pay off my house.
The lesson here?
When you create a phenomenal offer that genuinely provides value, don’t be afraid to charge what it’s worth.
Lesson #3: Use Bonuses to Neutralize Objections
Objections are sales-killers. If you don’t address the potential customer’s objections, they most likely won’t buy.
However, for every hurdle a customer places in front of your offer, there’s a way to topple it.
Bonuses are like magic wands in this area because you can use them to alleviate customer concerns.
Worried about the complexity of your software? Throw in a free, easy-to-understand guide.
Anxious about results? Offer private consultation calls or guaranteed outcomes.
Each objection you neutralize with a thoughtfully designed bonus will make your offer more irresistible, pushing potential customers over the line to buy now!
Lesson #4: Your Story Should Answer All The WHY Questions
Your offer isn’t just about the stack; it’s about trust. And when it comes to trust, your personal story is crucial.
Why are you qualified to make and sell this offer? How does your journey make you the perfect guide for your audience?
Your story should not only resonate, but also justify your expertise and reasons for bringing this offer to the table in the first place.
When we sold our Minisite Creator Course, the story about how the training was the exact same training I used to educate and train my new webmaster, Soosan, played a HUGE role in bolstering the credibility of the offer.
Ensure your story aligns seamlessly with your product and highlights WHY it just plain makes sense for you to make this offer.
Lesson #5: Be Strategic With Urgency and Scarcity
Urgency and scarcity can be mighty motivators for people to buy now… but use them wisely.
Learn from my mistake: I once created urgency with a hard deadline, stating the product would never be sold again after a certain date.
While that deadline triggered a mad rush and make enough sales to pay off my house… in the long run it cost me at least a million dollars in LOST long-term revenue.
Instead, leverage limited-time bonuses or a limited quantity of bonuses to inject urgency.
This way, customers feel the pressure to act quickly, but you maintain the flexibility to continue selling a successful product.
Bottom line: Experience has taught me that crafting sensational offers comes down to a few necessary steps (no matter what you sell… or who you sell it to). They are:
- Clearly understanding your ideal customer target market.
- Presenting undeniable market value to those ideal customers.
- Neutralizing customer objections with bonuses.
- Sharing a credible story about WHY you’re making the offer.
- Creating urgency to buy now.
By applying these lessons, you can build offers that not only sell, but also give you a chance to make your wildest business and personal dreams come true.
Your next offer might not make you rich… but you certainly won’t get rich without your next offer! 😀
