5 objections to handle when marketing:

1. I don't see how this solves my problem,
2. I've never heard of you. I don't trust you.
3. I'm not sure I need this right now.
4. Why is it so expensive?
5. I saw a better product somewhere else...

How will you handle any of these?
So...

Let's talk about this, shall we?

1. You must do your research before you market a product.

If your customer says-

“I don't see how this solves my problem”

It's either

▪️You didn't do your research or
▪️You’re not communicating the offer well.

Find out which one it is
If you didn't do your research..

Go back to the root and see what problem your service solves.

Is this a problem everyone is complaining about?

If no...

You have to start building desire for that product

This sucks...

As it's always better to create based on existing issues
If the problem is your communication...

Ask yourself...

If I were the audience, can I tell what problem this product tries to solve?

Make changes.

Let them know the problem.

Use the same words they used when complaining...

Tell them why they must get rid of the problem now.
2. If they haven't heard of you, others have.

There are various forms of testimonials.

Use as many as you have...

Case studies...

Testimonials from people who have used your products...

Authority sites...
People believe you’re legit when others tell them you are.

So no matter how many claims you make about yourself.

If there's no sufficient social proof...

You’re just screaming at a wall.

No one will trust anything you say.
3. “It will never be this price again”

Lol...

That's one way to go about people’s indecision about buying now.

But here are two other things you can do:

- Offer a fast-action bonus that helps them solve a related problem.

You can put a timer on that.
- Tell them why they can't afford to let this problem fester.

What are the dangers of not using what you’re selling?

Apart from price...

Hit on other reasons why this problem will cost them more if they don't fix it now.
4. Don't compete with other brands on pricing.

If your audience is asking why is it so that expensive...

Then next thing to do is not cut the price to be lower than your competitors.

What about adjusting your offer?

Making it irresistible so that they never think of the price
There was a time Coca Cola’s price went up while Pepsi stayed the same.

People still bought Coca Cola because they prefer the taste to Pepsi.

If you can make your offer superior...

It becomes irresistible.

The customers will pay whatever you ask.
▪️The second thing you can do for pricing objection is...

Show them how the price compares to the result.

Show them the transformation your product brings...How their lives change

It's the same thing with B2B services.

If you can make me 100k, I have no problem paying you 10K
5. Seriously... Fix your offer

Already talked about this.

Your prospects should not not be thinking of other offers when they see yours.

As they watch your ad...

Or read your copy...

What should be on their mind is “I’ve found my solution.”

Don't be like other brands...
- Know everything about your customer.
- Use this information to make them an irresistible offer.
- Communicate your offer well.
- And smash other objections specific to your audience.

The seven deadly sins:

▪️Envy
▪️Gluttony
▪️Pride
▪️Greed
▪️Lust
▪️Sloth
▪️Wrath

Are emotions all humans experience.

Now that you know this...

Let me show you

How you can use these sins to build a successful marketing campaign for your business 👇
▪️Envy

People always want the best for themselves…

And they envy others that have what they want.

Marketers can tap into this emotion by showing prospects how they can live this desirable life.

Show them how they can also achieve this transformation using your unique product
But here's the thing...

Envy may be good...

Or bad.

When people good experience good envy,

They want what other people have.

They want to have these good things for themselves...

The wrong research process will mess up your copy

Even before you write a word.

Faulty research means terrible conversions...

Waste of time… And waste of money.

You don't want this.

Use this 7-step framework to research and create an effective marketing copy 👇
Step 1: Dine with the audience

Don't start writing immediately you get a product.

Grave mistake!

You don't know how the audience feels…

The major problem they’re facing…

And how you can come into their lives with the right message.

So...
Head over to where your audience hangs out.

This could be online forums…

Just type “niche or problem + forum” in Google.

E.g Vaginismus + forum

7 formulas to help you create bullets that fascinate your readers...

Communicate your offer...

And sell the crap out of your product.

These will increase conversions on your marketing copy👇
The last time you read an interesting sales copy that compelled you to buy something...

Was it easy for you to get through the whole copy?

Was it just a long block of text that goes on and on?

“Arrghhh… Boring!”

Or wait….

Did you spot some bullet points?
If you saw bullets, you probably stopped to read through them.

Even if you were skimming before.

You wanted to see what was highlighted…

And if it will be important to you.

7 Psychological effects that influence human behavior

And how to use them in your marketing copy

To turn your small business into an empire 👇
#1. The Novelty Effect

People love new things.

Novelty Effect means buyers react positively to new changes just because they're new.

If your copy stops working after a while…

▪️Tweak the offer
▪️Change the big idea
▪️Change the headline
▪️Change the format
▪️Monitor results
People who have seen your ad before may be bored with it

And only buy when they see something new.

But be careful.

Give enough time for novelty to wear off

So you can determine whether people bought because they see something new...

Or because your copy is good.

David Ogilvy- Direct Response Marketing Legend

Wrote an ad with the best headline in the world

When this ad was published in 1958...

It created an 18-month waiting list of new car orders!

Rolls Royce asked Ogilvy to pull the ad. They couldn't keep up

See why this ad worked👇
1. Ogilvy’s headline shows expertise

“At 60 miles an hour the loudest noise in this new Rolls-Royce comes from the Electric Clock”

You see...

No matter how good you are at writing…

Or how much you think you understand human psychology

You can't get it right without research
“If you don't do the right amount of research before you write…

Your copy won't convert

David Ogilvy is a direct response marketing legend.

His Rolls Royce ad that cost only $25,000 to publish in 2 magazines...

Made the automobile sales rise by 50% in 1958🤯

Why was this ad legendary?

Before I tell you…

Let's break down Ogilvy’s 7 commandment on advertising 👇
1. Your role is to sell… Don't let anything distract you from it.

Many copywriters these days mistake the role of copy…

Saying things like “Your copy doesn't have to make readers open their wallets!”

When you focus more on making a creative and fancy copy…

You've failed.
When you don't have “sales” as the end goal of your copy…

You’ve failed!
