Pre-Sell Strategies: How to Pre-sell Your Products and Services—Psychotactics
In the year 2009, we tried selling our copywriting course.
We gave away a ton of goodies, marketed it for weeks, and guess what? Even though we had a pretty large list and a rock-solid reputation, we sold just four seats.
Four seats?
Yup, just four.
And yet when we ran the very same course in 2013, every single seat was taken in under 25 minutes.
Sounds like a fluke?
• Every workshop since 2009 has sold out in record time (often in under a week).
• Every course since 2009 has sold out in less than 48 hours.
• Products that didn't move at all for weeks, flew off the shelf (yup, since 2009).
Something happened in 2009, right?
That something is called Pre-Sell
It's the understanding of how to get your customers to buy, long before they pay. And no matter whether you're selling products, services or training, the concepts still apply.
And we've not had to sell our soul to get results
If you look around you'll see that you're told to do more joint ventures, do more advertising, spend a bundle on AdWords, Facebook marketing etc. The louder you scream, it seems, the better the chances that you'll get results.
And we've gone a lot quieter. Most of the above results were achieved with a tiny group.
Now you can learn what we figured out in the year 2009. You too, can learn how to pre-sell a product/service. And you don't need all that hype or a big audience to get results. These strategies have been tested and have been proven to work every time. And yes, even today.
Next Step
Look at the list of articles below, pick the one that gets your attention and start reading. Every article will show you how to implement one element of pre-sell without the hype.
