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.
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.

The reason most people struggle to sell consistently isn’t effort. It’s that everything depends on them. ... They have to decide what to sell.... Figure out when to sell it.... Work out how to promote it....Then do it all again next month. When you're doing that from step 0 every month, it's exhausting. I'm tired even thinking about it. This "I have to do it all myself from scratch" appraoch doesn;t scale. It also explains why sales fall apart the moment you get busy, distracted, or tired....
There’s a very specific stress that comes from not knowing what you’re going to sell next. You feel it when revenue dips and you think... “Shit… I don’t actually have anything lined up.” You feel it when you open your email tool and just stare at the screen. Not because you don’t want to sell, but because you don’t know what makes sense to sell right now. You feel it when you’ve already promoted your main offer, and all you can do is promote the exact same thing again. You know most people...
How many people on your email list do you think are actually ready to buy high-ticket right now? ... Not “interested.”... Not “watching.... Not “saving it for later.” I mean genuinely ready. Like, they've got a credit card in their hand just looking for somewhere to spend their cash? The real number is small. Usually around 1–3%. And yet, for years, we were all taught to build our businesses as if all our effort should go to hgh ticket alone. ... Run ads.... Post content.... Do outreach.......
