Ascension

Published 12 months ago • 1 min read

In the GM+ Community, I'm working on templating an easier-to-implement ascension model - something that takes your low-ticket customers to your high-ticket offers with predictability.

I've been diving into the ascension models of 7 and 8-figure businesses to better understand what works, and I shared the initial learnings and thoughts in the community.

Member AS dropped an awesome critique which included the below.

In any promo emails sequence, you generally want to make sure that you have enough emails that cover all the different objections/hesitations that the buyer might have. I’ve always tried to cover each of those objections as evenly as possible (generally one email per objection).

And he's 100% right.

In fact, the email sequence templates I added to GM+ and the workshop I did a little while back do exactly this.

Your job is to remove the major objections that people have so they feel confident in buying from you.

Here's the thing. Different people have different objections. A few of the underlying thoughts I see that lead to objections include people being...

  • Price sensitive and they need to feel confident it's not money wasted
  • Mechanism focused and they need to understand how it works
  • Desire the transformation and so want to be excited about how their life will change

And so on.

So, your system has to address different areas as you'll never know what's going to get someone to buy.,

Anyway, long story short, the initial template I was working on (which is like a 10-page doc at the minute) was way too focused on my own objections.

I'm a mechanism guy. I like to know how things work, and so I defaulted to that.

AS pointed out that I was too focused on this and that, for him, he prefers to see real-world applications and transformations over theoretical "how it works".

It was a good reminder and has got me back analysing and figuring out the best way to create an easy-to-install ascension model in all of our businesses.

If you want to get involved with helping build this out and be among the first to test it when it's fully templatised, get into the GM+ Community now.​

The focus in GM+ for December is all about ascension models.

By the end of the month, I want a full system that you can quickly and easily install in your business.

Something takes low-ticket buyers (or even freebie leads) and gets them to a point where they want to pay higher ticket fees to work more closely with you.

​You can help shape this and get first usage of the materials when they're done by joining GM+ here. ​

Happy Saturday!

Yo! Everyone's about to hit emailing hard this week with BFCM promos. I actually know a few folk who have already completed their sales promos for the year. They keep bringing it forward. I wonder if we'll ever get to the point of a Black Friday sale in like May. Anyway, I'm considering whether or not to run a BFCM sale myself. But before I switch into full promo mode, I wanted to give you a quick heads-up. If you want my help to scale properly in 2026, with a predictable system, daily...

Quick one for you this morning while I shoot off to the farmers market. A lot of people think their funnel or offer is broken. Most of the time, it’s not. They’re just aiming it at the wrong people. When your ICP is even slightly off, everything feels unpredictable: wrong buyers vague messaging low-ticket that never ascends high-ticket that feels impossible to sell Good news is it's a reasonably easy fix. If you get crystal clear on who this is for, the restof the messaging woes become easy...

I was chatting with a client the other day about tweaking their front-end offers. They know I’ve been running a lot of AI-based front-end tests, so they asked what’s working and what’s not so we could improve their system. (If you want similar help, hit reply, I’m taking on a few people at the minute.) Here’s what I told him… Yes, AI-based offers sell. If the positioning is right, they sell very well. But if you set them up wrong, you leave a tonne of money on the table. Let me show you. I...
