In 1898 American businessman Elmo Lewis created the AIDA model to optimize sales calls

Here's how to use it to write better emails 📝

~ THREAD ~
AIDA stands for:

- Attention
- Interest
- Desire
- Action

Here's how we're going to break our email down to make sure we can hit the whole spectrum
ATTENTION → Subject line

Your subject line should be benefit-driven, and curiosity-driven.

The key to make this happen is to know your target market inside-out.

A great way to get people's attention is to be a pattern disrupter
Interest → Lead

If you think grabbing people's attention on the subject line is enough - you're dead wrong.

A lot of people open emails and decide whether they want to read it or not based solely on the first few sentences.
Desire → Story

Story are the greatest way to illustrate a point and pain a reality that your reader will want to make part of.

If you can write a relatable story, people will WANT to achieve what the main character did thus creating a strong sense of desire.
Action → Call-to-action

Last but not least...

Now that people are already compelled by your email...

They will want to know how they can further take advantage of what you have for them, and that's where your call-to-action comes in.

It must be assertive, direct, and clear.
I've written a full blog post about this where I show you an EXAMPLE of this in action.

3 Dead Simple Questions To Sell More

Notes from:

/* The Ultimate Sales Letter by Dan Kennedy */ Image
Selling is all about knowing your customer and their priorities, but we often forget that and end up writing about how GREAT the product is for us.

We focus on our reality and not on our prospects reality - big mistake.

Here are 3 questions you can use to flip the script.
Question 1: What's the benefit for my customer

Straightforward and obvious one.

In which ways can your product improve the life of your customer?

Paint that image in the head of the reader.

You've heard the old saying - show don't tell.

Keep reading ↓
Everyone has something to sell nowadays.

Although that's not a bad thing - that creates more and more options for the public.

Which means more competition for you.

We fight that by positioning ourselves as the authority and completely smashing the competition.
A great way to do that is by demystifying a common belief that your audience has.

And then, telling them what they right belief should be.

By showing them your expertise and that you have 'real-world' practice - you instantly become an authority.
