The copywriting system that makes offers feel ‘safe’ to buy.


Everyone says your offer needs to be "bold" and "compelling" to sell.

They say you need to make bigger promises, paint the transformation, and create an irresistible hook.

All of that is true.

But it’s not enough.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Nobody buys an offer that feels risky.

If people think they’ll waste their money, time, or energy — they’ll scroll past it.

Even if the promise is huge.

That’s why the "big, bold, crazy" approach only works if people feel safe buying it.

This is something I didn’t realize early on.

I had an offer that made huge promises. Big results. Big outcomes.

But...

... There was no social proof. No guarantee. No "this has worked for people like you."

It felt risky.

So people didn’t buy.

That’s when I learned one of the most important lessons in offer creation:

The safer your offer feels, the more people will buy it.

To do that, I started using a copywriting system called N.E.S.B., from Kyle Milligan.

Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ New — People love new, exciting ideas. “This isn’t like everything else you’ve tried.”
2️⃣ Easy — People want big results with less effort. The easier it feels, the more likely they are to buy.
3️⃣ Safe — This is the game-changer. If people feel like they’re "taking a risk," they’ll walk away. But if it feels proven, tested, and safe, they’re all in.
4️⃣ Big — No one wants small results. If they’re going to put in the effort, they want big outcomes in return.

Most people focus on the "N", "E", and "B".
But it’s the "S" that makes people buy.

Because if it feels risky, even the "best offer in the world" will flop.

If you’re selling something right now and people seem interested but hesitant, this is probably why.

✅ They like the idea.
✅ They want the transformation.
❌ But it doesn’t feel safe enough to say yes.

The good news?

There are simple ways to remove risk from your offer and make it feel like a "guaranteed win."

I put together a quick video that walks you through it step-by-step.

You’ll see:

  • The 4 ways to make your offer feel safer (so people feel comfortable buying)
  • Why risk is the #1 sales killer (and how to remove it from your offer)
  • How to apply the full N.E.S.B. Framework to make your offer more compelling, easy, and irresistible

This is one of the simplest, fastest changes you can make to your offer.
If you only make one shift, make it this one.

Email subscriber JP emailed me with the below question in response to an email I sent about the old method of turning cold leads into high-ticket clients being broken. Dear Peter,Sam Ovens later admitted his old way was broken.But what do you think of the model of Russ Ruffino?Is that still working today?How does it differ from your model?Thanks and God bless. I responded with this (I try to respond to all emails I receive). I’m not super familiar with Russ’s model. From a quick search it...

Yo I get asked a lot why I built GM+ and GMM as communities, instead of just selling $2k courses, running high-ticket coaching, or going all-in on an agency model. Honestly? It came down to three things… … impact… leverage… and where the world is going I’ll explain all of this in detail here - but if you wanna see what’s in both of these tiers of the community, here’s the details. Now, onto the breakdown. 1. Why I didn’t choose the agency route (and would caution you against it) I’ve scaled...

Saw something the other day where someone was saying webinars and $5k clients are the only way to grow your biz moving forward. And look, both of those things are great. You need high-ticket clients to be profitable Webinars can be a great way to build the trust needed to sell high ticket Thing is, the whole concept of throwing cold traffic (people who don’t know you) to a weoinar and that being enough for them to drop $5k+ with you doesn;t work anymore. Sure, it used to work when credit was...
