Sales are made before the sales page


Hey Reader,

Building on from the last email—where we talked about removing hesitations to make buying easier—there’s another mistake that stops most people from closing high-ticket sales:

They think the sales call, webinar, or VSL does all the work.

If you’ve ever had people say, “I need to think about it” or “I’m not sure” at the end of a call, it’s because the real work was never done before they got there.

By the time someone reaches your sales step, they should already be 90% sold.

  • They should know the problem you solve.
  • They should believe your solution is the right one.
  • They should feel ready to buy—without hesitation.

The actual sales mechanism is just the final step.

So how do you pre-sell them properly?

I break it all down inside this video, showing you exactly how to get serious buyers who show up ready to say yes.

This builds directly on what we covered in the last email—so if you want more high-ticket sales without endless objections, this is the next piece of the puzzle.

Go check it out,

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...
