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.

The big money is always made on the high-ticket offer. We all know this, and so we all push it. But if you're trying to get strategers to spend $5k of their hard-earned cash with you - a stranger - within a day or two of them finding you, you're going way too fast. I recorded a detailed video explaining how to get strangers to pay you $5k+ within 7-30 days. You can watch it here.

I love a deal. I'll research a new product I'm gonna buy like mad so I know I'm getting the best version at the best price. It's common in a lot of B2C purchases, right? Hell, even in some things like insurance there are dedicated comparison shopping sites. Here's the weird thing though. I'm seeing more and more comparison shoppers for B2B offers. I've spoken to a few coaches, agencies, and consultants recently who are seeing the same thing. They're getting people on the phone, but those...

Meta ads have been brutal over the last 8 weeks or so. They've been rolling out a new algo and it's made the platform way more volatile than usual. If you spend any time on the FB Ads subreddit, you'll see the panic and fear... "Worst month for ads ever in my 12+ years of advertising" "Meta advertising is dead" "I'm going back to Google ads" Then you've got all the copium that comes with it. People talking about how Meta platforms are dying (they're not), and how they don't want to pay Zuck....
