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 is it. Final email. Final reminder.Final chance. If you want the BFCM deal, the one where I build your funnel plan for you, this is the last window. After tonight, it’s gone and... ... the blueprint goes back up to full price... GM+ doubles in price... the bonuses disappear as offers But, if you do join by midnight tonight, here's what you get for only $47 Your first month of GM+ at 50% off - $99 / month A custom-built funnel plan (traffic, offers, pricing, upsells — the full model) -...

Let’s not dress this up. If your revenue didn’t grow this year, it wasn’t... ... the algorithm... your niche... buyer psychology magically shifting overnight.... “summer slowdown” or “Q4 fatigue”. It was your model. The game changed, and most people didn’t. Case in point for this. I know a guy whose entire business is webinars. He sells them, teaches them, built his whole identity on them. This year? His numbers tanked and he intrduced a new "$47 webinar" to validate serious buyers. I know...

So I just did a breakdown analysis for the GM+ crowd (you can join us with a special BFCM deal here). It was a funnel teardown of a chap running LinkedIn ads, and to be blunt... the approach is awful. This guy has made pretty much all of the mistakes you can make... Ads that generate curiosity but zero serious intent No clarity on what he’s actually selling An application that doesn’t explain the next steps Running the whole thing at “50 percent off”, which only attracts bargain hunters He’s...
