People don't buy features... they buy THIS ->


Back when I first launched digital offers, I thought the key was to “add more.”

🦖 More templates.
🦖 More videos.
🦖 More bonuses.
🦖 More stuff.

Because surely more stuff = more value, right?

Wrong.

I learned this the hard way.

I packed one of my early offers with so much content it was basically bursting at the seams. Hours of video. Pages of templates. Bonuses. Worksheets. You name it, I stuffed it in there.

And guess what?

Sales were… flat.

People didn’t care how many templates or hours of content I was offering.

All they cared about was this:

“Where will I be after I buy this?”

That’s when I realized something important:

Nobody buys for features. They buy for transformation.

They don’t care that your course has 20+ hours of training videos.

They care that, after those 20 hours, they’ll finally know how to close more clients.

They don’t care that you’re offering 5 templates.

They care that, with those templates, they’ll be able to send out 10x more proposals.

People don’t buy features — they buy the transformation.

When I made this shift in my own offers, everything changed.

Instead of promoting the features, I started promoting the transformation.

No more "5 hours of video" headlines.

Now it was, “Go from 0 clients to 5 clients in 30 days.”

Which one do you think converted better?

When you position your offer this way, it’s like flipping a switch.

People don’t have to “imagine” the result — you’ve painted it for them.

If you’ve got an offer right now that isn’t selling the way it should,
this is probably why.

It’s not because you don’t have “enough” templates, calls, or content.

It’s because you’re selling the stuff instead of the shift.

But this is an easy fix.
I put together a quick video that walks you through exactly how to make this shift.

In it, you’ll see:

  • How to turn features into transformations that people actually want to buy
  • The 4-part framework for making any offer more compelling
  • Why “more stuff” is killing your sales (and what to do instead)

If you’re tired of stuffing your offer with “more stuff” that doesn’t move the needle, this is where it changes.

Quick note before the weekend. I’ve had a few replies this week from people who are looking for help scaling in 2026. I’m booking the last couple of calls for this opportunity. If you’re thinking: “I should probably look at this, but I’ll come back to it later” You might want to at least look at getting in touch. I dunno what my availability is gonna be like later and, if I'm near capacity, I'm more likely to see how I can fit someone I've spoken into the schedule. So if you think that maybe...

Wanna know what the biggest sign of a lack of strategy is? It’s indecision. If you lack any kind of strategy, everything can feel like it's the right move. You end up getting caught with the whole analysis paralysis thing where... ... More ads could help.... More content could help.... A new offer could help.... A new channel could help. So nothing gets ruled out. Everything gets added to a "to-do" list and everyone starts feeling overwhelmed, not really knowing where to start. That’s when...

Picture this... You've identified the problem in your business. Where things break down and money is being lost. You analyse, design the fix, and set everyone on the path to implementing that fix. Time to pop the champaign right? Nope. After you've built that awesome fix, you see... nothing. No improvements, no meaningful changes, no new sales. And you're back to square one. It's a problem I see a lot. People fixing the symptom, but completely missing the cause. here's what I mean. I worked...
