The Levison Letter

 

Are you using this great direct response motivator?

 

December, 2013

 

 
Let's assume you've got to write a lead-generation letter, email, or web page that must convince prospects to download a White Paper.

 

How do you go about it?

 

Well, you know the drill. You show prospects that you understand their pain, explain how your product's or service's benefits take away their pain, and then make a motivating offer that gets them to act.

 

So far, so good. But it's also important to tell prospects what they'll lose if they don't act.

 

That's right. As important as it is to get prospects to act, you must remind them mercilessly of the terrible fate they'll suffer if they don't take you up on your offer.

 

This reminder of the fact that they'll be left with their pain and problems unless they respond is very powerful and can definitely boost response rates.

 

Let me give you a few examples of how this powerful motivator works:

 

WRONG:

 

If you want to keep your network safe and secure from dangerous intruders, be sure to download your free copy of our new White Paper titled Five Proven Ways To Strengthen Your Firewall.

 

RIGHT:

Remember, if you don't use the information contained in this free White Paper, cyber criminals have a far better chance of taking down your network. Don't find out the hard way what a hacker can do to your system. Request your free White Paper before devastating problems start!

 

WRONG:

 

Is Bob Smith bullish or bearish on the stock market? Call right now to get his free report titled Which Way Is The Stock Market Headed?

 

RIGHT:

 

Is Bob Smith bullish or bearish on the stock market? Call right now to get his free report titled Which Way Is The Stock Market Headed?

 

Believe me, getting Bob's stock market call has never been more important. Why? Because the market may be in a dangerous bubble right now and if you don't hear what Bob has to say, your portfolio could be at serious risk.


The take-away message this month? You can increase response rates a lot by reminding prospects that they'll lose big-time if they don't take you up on your offer.
