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,

Couple of days back I was on a consult with a GM+ member. They've just finished building some new offers, but wanted help in structuring the acquisition side of the equation. In 20 minutes, I mapped out a full $1 product funnel that: Had a potential order value of over $300 Reused 80% of assets they already had Needed maybe 1 hour of work to finish Will pre-sell these same users on their primary offer They're off working to et the thing live right now. And once they've got it up and running,...

Yo! I'm fast running out of time today so this is gonna be a super quick email. In GM+, we were analysing some AI-based front-end offers we've seen in the wild that are are selling for $7-$97. Simple stuff at their core. People create a custom AI agent that handles a painful problem for the target market. Sell access to it and the user gets the outcome in under 5 mins of effort. To better understand it, I've built my own and amd building a new funnel around it. I'll be launching ads for this...

Most people don’t have a strategy. They just copy what looks cool. ... Nice ad? Copy it.... Decent headline? Swipe it.... Pretty funnel? Clone it. But without knowing why it works... or even if it works, you’re just guessing on a faster timeline. The smart move? Look at what’s performing, then break it down. Who’s the ad really targeting? What problem is it addressing? Where does it sit in the funnel? What’s the angle behind the copy? If you get that right, you’re not just collecting tactics....
