[Last Chance] Don't miss out
|
Don't you HATE this kind of emails and messages trying to push you into a buying decision? Even worse —when it keeps repeating over and over? I know i do. Pushing for this fear of missing out (FOMO) and to get them to take action based on an impulse is a common (mal)practice. Why? Because this push is artificial and external —and an overkill. A better approach to help your customers buy is to dig up that urgency they actually feel and direct them to make the decision a no-brainer. You don't want your customers to have buyer's remorse. You want them to be delighted. And FOMO won't do it. |

It changes on the customer. It pushes you to say no to most prospects. It pushes you to detach what you charge from what it costs you. This is all risky, as it means...
If you've considered pricing in options (3 being the magic number), the first thing that might've come up is naming them Gold, Silver and Bronze. The thing with this convention is that it pretty much says "winner, not-winner, loser", "you-have-money, you're-getting-there, poor". It carries judgement. It implies that the least expensive (or lower tier) is of low- to no-value. You don't want to buy things of low value. None of your customers do either. Here's the thing. All of your offers bring...
There's this thing in Europe that you have the right to disconnect. To totally disconnect from your job after hours, meaning you cannot and will not be bothered by your boss/employer/colleagues after your day is off and expected to even read whatever they tried to tell you. As it's against the law. Well, I tried this thing for the last 2 weeks. With a twist. I disconnected from everything. Emails? 260+ It's ok. Messages? A bunch. It's ok. Writing and publishing? Zero. And that's ok. Putting...
