Don't Overlook This Powerful Method For Ending Your Sales Letters.

P.S.’s are the last thing on your sales letter and usually the last thing your readers will see. You need to be able to influence your readers here and convince them to order before they leave your page if they haven’t decided to do so already. There are two techniques that you can use for this and they are, Penetrating P.S.’s or Subliminal P.S.’s.
Let’s look at penetrating P.S.’s first. For this technique you will compliment or praise your readers. You could be thanking them for attempting to improve their lives or solve their problems. Some sample phrase starters you can use include: I appreciate the time you took to read this, you have made a real accomplishment today by considering to solve your problem, I’m so impressed that you took the time to read this, I admire you for not being afraid to take a risk, you’ll really make such a difference in your life by ordering, you’ve proved that you want to better yourself, you’ve shown a lot of confidence just by reading this page and I salute you for taking the time out of your busy day to improve your family’s life.
All the above phrases compliment and thank your readers and there are some additional words that you can use which include: talented, resourceful, reliable, serious, successful, smart, caring, motivated, ambitious, and many more.
Next are the subliminal P.S.’s. These are used for persuading your readers to take action right now and are also known as power statements. Here are some examples of power statements that you can use. As you consider ordering, picture how much money you can save by buying today (this statement is perfect if you have a special price offer on your product or service). Before you leave this page just think about the value of getting the 4 amazing free bonuses for only ordering one product. This page is coming to an end but just imagine getting this product up front without paying for it for a full thirty days. Now you’ve reached the end of this article you are just minutes away from the feeling of… There is nothing more I can do for you, you either have to try this product for yourself or keep your life the way it is. You don’t have to order now, but consider this, you will receive the product instantly when you order. While you’re thinking about ordering why not also think about what your friends would say and think if you…
As you can see, these subliminal P.S.’s are designed specifically to get your reader to order your product or service before they leave the page. It is up to you to decide which method will best suit your readers.

Online Sales and Marketing vs Traditional Online Sales and Marketing vs Traditional - Hi Evan, I am noticing that many of the posts in the Sales/Marketing section deal with online marketing, SEM and and SEO and Affiliates. I was wondering if it might be a good idea to separate that section into two; 1) Online Sales and Marketing; 2) Traditional Sales and Marketing

Re: How to Promote a MLM Business? Re: How to Promote a MLM Business? - In MLM a lot of it is hype. I know you like your product but you have to get people in like a circus does. Draw people in with attraction. Depending on your budget you should setup a tent in the parking lot of a mall/grocery store(with their permission or rent the space) and cook-out hotdogs and hamburgers, have a clown doing magic for the kids, make a nice presentation on projection screen. Show your prospects that you are larger than life. Sales is 90% attitude and 10% aptitude. With MLM it is usually simple to understand so make it so simple they cant resist. They should feel dumb if they dont sign-up on the spot. When you have a crowd it is like a feeding frenzy. They will sign-up just because other people are...especially if you have a relatively cheap MLM. You are not going to make any sales if your product in MLM is over $200. I know this part is self promotion but get a wireless credit card machine so you can take payment right on the spot. Dont give them any reason to leave without buying/signing up.
