I am currently up in Philadelphia at JV Alert, and I am having a terrific time. Ken McArthur has really put together a tremendous event and I will be sharing some of my key learning’s and insights from this seminar.
One of my favorite sessions of the day was an open Q&A panel with 10 professional online copywriters... many of them are some of the leading online copywriters that money can buy.
One specific tip that was brought up during the session was the sequence that your online sales letter should follow as you are preparing for the close.
The question that was asked was:
“What comes first, the offer, bonuses, or the guarantee? Is there a specific sequence that we should always follow?”
The answer is YES! And the winning sequence is:
1) Present the offer:
* Describe the offer, including the price
NOTE: In their mind, the customer should already be saying… to take my pain away and solve this problem… the price is not too bad.
2) Remove the risk:
* Offer a risk reversal, the guarantee
NOTE: In their mind, the customer should now say… wow, there is nothing I could lose by taking action.
3) Pile on the bonuses:
* Over deliver with additional bonuses that will further help the customer relieve their pain and take them to the next level
4) Recap - final summary
* Of course, you want to have a neat summary towards the end - and never ever forget to finish with powerful PS lines
According to extensive testing, the above sequence was consistently performing better than any other sequence. So, go back to your sales letters right now and check if your sequence is the same. If not, I suggest that you setup a test to see if you can further optimize your conversion rate by doing what the experts do.
