Turning 1 dollar into 2


Turning 1 dollar into 2 is far easier than 0 into 1.

And yet, folk are still focusing on that 0 to one.

Yesterday I broke down the simple thought process and system to craft a compelling upsell that increases the AoV of each customer coming through.

Today I want to build on that and talk about how to craft a decent upsell page.

This is the basic flow I've used to help convert anywhere between 10% and 15% of customers to an upsell immediately.

Which, depending on your offer and markering, could easily be an extra couple of hundred bucks alone every day without changing much else.

Oh, and if you want the full template (and the Custom GPT I built to create the page for you), you can get them in GM+ here.

The basic flow for effective upsell pages is simple.

You have to capitalise on the feelings they have right now, and encourage more forward momentum.

Here's how that plays out in the template from a high level.

------------

First, thank them for the purchase they just made. It's only polite.

Next, get them excited about the outcome the first product they bought will enable for them. Remind them of what the new reality will be and get them to picture it.

That new reality is desirable, but it's not without problems. They'll be one step closer to their desired end state, but, there are now new problems.

Explain what the new issues they'll face are.

Next, say you've seen it before and you've created something to help them overcome those new problems. Explain what the solution is.

Get them to picture how this will further help them in their new reality.

Give them all of the details of the offer, including price, what's included, how it works etc.

Then you close with the offer itself. Mention the savings, potential gains etc. and hit them with the CTA to add it to their order.

----------

I've found this is the most effective way to improve your upsell take rate.

A lot of people will still ignore it. BUt, if you can get a decent number of people to buy, it could mean hundreds of dollars extra per day and thousands extra per month just by implementing a better format.

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...
