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.

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...

Saw an awesome post on FB from Alex Becker (founder of Hyros) and I wanted to riff on it a bit as it's something you need to be focusing on if you wanna scale. This is something I'm focusing more on for my own offers and also the people I help in places like GM+ (join here over BF to get some bonuses). In short, the secret of scale is economics. No surprise there. But a lot of people get this wrong - and it's worth taking time to remind you of what you should be focusing on to get better...

Quick one today as a lot of my list is US-based, and it's Thanksgiving. So, first off, Happy Turkey Day if you're celebrating. If you're not, happy Thursday.
