Selling Triggers
Using selling triggers when marketing online is more important than any place else because the person on the other end can only go by what you have written. It’s a lot different than in the real world where a perspective buyer can see the product or can be convinced to buy from a sales person.
Using emotional triggers in your sales letter is an absolute must in order to make sales on the Internet. Below are a couple of motivations that may help close the deal.
If you were selling a money making opportunity it is obvious that you would want to throw in a monetary trigger to help seal the deal. There are more selling triggers that you can use if you were selling a money making opportunity than just the monetary aspect. There is also the, be your own boss selling trigger, work when you want selling trigger, take extravagant vacations selling trigger, spend more time with family and friends selling trigger, etc.
If you were selling gym equipment you could use selling triggers like, lose weight, look and feel better, make yourself stronger, build muscle, etc.
The point is that you want to use selling triggers throughout your sales page to trigger an emotion to motivate the perspective buyer to not only buy your product, but to buy your product now. Let’s face it, most will never buy once they’ve clicked away from your website. Emotional selling triggers will get them to buy now.
What you are basically doing with these selling triggers is painting a picture for the potential buyer. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Save the words and paint the picture instead. You will make way more sales by doing so.
You can use selling triggers to evoke an emotion for anything that you sell. All you really have to do is take the best feature of the product that you are selling and use it as a selling trigger.
Let’s say that you are selling an ebook that teaches people how to become popular. This is a real easy one because all you have to do is paint a picture of people falling all over themselves to be seen with them and you will have successfully evoked an emotional trigger that will at least keep the perspective buyer reading your sales ad and will at least make them consider to buy.
You want to continue throughout the sales ad to add new selling triggers to keep the reader excited about your product. The more selling triggers there are the better. If the reader of your sales ad is still excited by the time that he/she is done reading, your chances of making the sale has increased tremendously.
Take a look at the product that you are selling, take it’s biggest feature and paint a picture using selling triggers throughout your sales ad and watch your sales increase tremendously.
