5 Sure-Fire Sales Letter Profit
Igniters!
by Grady Smith
=================================
1) The Yes Factor
=================================
There’s a practice in sales where you get the potential customer
in the yes mode with the hope that when you ask for the order,
they have been so conditioned to say yes that it comes out
automatically.
To get someone in “yes mode”, you need to ask questions you’re
sure your target audience can answer yes to. For example, I might
say, “ Wouldn’t you like to learn how to pull more profits with
your sales letter”?
=================================
2) Involve The Reader's Five Senses
=================================
A sales letter works best when it can create a mental picture for
the reader. So, when describing something, make it real. Tell
them about the smell and feel of your product. Explain what it
looks and tastes like. Really let them visualize.
If I was writing a sales letter for a product that helps people
never lose their keys again, I might show them the problem of
lost keys and liven it up a bit with strong descriptions.
“The rain pours from the open sky, soaking through your light
coat and making your pants clench your body in a bear hug. You
dig your hand into your pocket; fingers numb from the cold, and
discover your nightmare. Your keys to your warm and dry home are
locked in your car and you know you’ll be spending your night in
the rain.”
If a customer can feel what you’re telling them, then they’re
going to believe it more. It’s powerful stuff.
=================================
3) Knock Objections Down In Your Copy
=================================
Objections are the little thoughts that pop up in your prospect’s
mind and tell them why they shouldn’t act on your offer. A good
sales letter will anticipate, maybe even create, these objections
and then address them, one by one.
After writing a sales letter, go back over it and read it from
your prospects point of view. Think of questions it might raise,
and then answer those questions and objections.
=================================
4) Entertain and Keep The Reader Interested
=================================
Keep your reader interested in your sales letter by keeping the
tone lighthearted and conversational. Write it like you’re a
friend, using all the common words you use while talking. Maybe
tell a story or two throughout your sales letter.
The goal of a sales letter is to sell. But to do that, you have
to keep the prospect reading.
=================================
5) Using Repetition
=================================
Response is always better through repetition.
An example…you might notice a funny commercial on the TV that’s
been running for months. Or, maybe you’ve noticed yourself
humming the tune from a commercial because you’ve heard it over
and over again. Repetition makes us take notice.
And we can use this same principal in our sales letter by driving
key points into our reader’s mind.
Try this…
Take the strongest benefit for your offer or service. Mention it
in the headline, and then mention it in the first sentence. Then,
throughout your sales letter, mention it a few more times, but in
a different way. You might mention it first as a statement, then
again as a story.
Try it…you’ll be amazed!
