How long does it take?


Someone comes into your business through a freebie lead magnet or low-ticket offer.

How long is it before they decide to pony up some cash?

It's a debate we've been having in GM+ and people have shared their experiences. I'm piecing some stats together from different posts and convos for this, so the math is a little rough.

Anyway...

First, you can expect about 10% of free leads to become paying customers.

If you attract people with a low-ticket offer (even as low as $1), these customers convert to higher ticket purchases up to 12X more than freebie seekers.

Of the above...

  • 70-90% of them will make a purchase within the first 30-60 days of joining your list
  • There's then a sharp drop off in sales
  • Each subsequent month you'll see some sales roll in, but it'll be slower and slower each month until it dies off

Some people see the sales stop rolling in after 3 months.

Others have sales rolling in up to 8 months down the line.

Either way, it's the first ~30 days where the most action happens.

But this is ONLY possible if you have...

A decent ascension system.

I'm not talking about a simple string of emails where you send basic info and "please buy now" links.

You need a well thought out and designed ascension system. Something that builds trust and pre-sells customers on your high ticket offers with a proven approach.

We've been refining a killer ascension system you can quickly install in your business to turn your leads and low-ticket customers into high-ticket clients.

And I'm sharing the whole thing in an upcoming workshop you can get the full details on here.

The system is based on a couple of simple, but insanely powerful, behavioural triggers.

You'll learn all about the 9-stages of trust you need to progress people through, the basic formula that dictates when most people feel confident in giving you cash, and how to build a system around them.

It's an hour-long (ish) workshop, and I'm throwing in some examples, templates, and a Q&A about this as well.

All the details are here.

And if you can't make the time but still want to get this info, sign up and you'll get access to the replay.

Speak soon,

This week, I’ve talked a lot about offers. And if you’ve been paying attention, some of it might feel contradictory. ... On one hand, I’ve said the most powerful businesses aren’t reliant on you for delivery. ... On the other, I’ve said building something truly scalable from day one is expensive, risky, and unrealistic for most people. Both are true. Ideas like Zero to One, building something entirely new, can work. But they usually require serious capital, long runways, and a tolerance for...

Yesterday I talked about what a bad offer does to your business — and to you. Today, I want to flip that and talk about what insanely profitable offers actually have in common. Because they’re not clever. And they’re definitely not built around hustle. In fact, I'd argue that... Great offers don’t rely on you as the facilitator. If the results depend on your personal effort, time, or constant involvement, you’ll hit a ceiling fast. You can do well like that. I know guys pulling around 7-figs...

Yesterday I said this year only really changes if the offer does. Today, I want to be blunt about what happens when the offer isn’t right. This isn’t theory. I’ve personally dragged dying offers way longer than I should have, burning time, money, and energy trying to force something that wasn’t working. When you're in that place, the offer doens't just hurt your business. It leaks into everything else. Within the business, it usually looks like this... ... You’re always “working on...
