Into A Cash Cow © copyright 2003 Terry Telford
Finding an
autoresponder is easy. Writing professional sales messages is not.
Until now.
Let’s take a step
back for a moment.
When you sign up for a
free course or enter your name and email address anywhere on the net,
you can be pretty sure you’re going to receive messages from an
autoresponder. These messages can take on many different forms. They
can be simple providers of information, soft sell letters,
hit-you-over-the-head-with-a-hammer-hard-sell-letters, or insulting
letters.
The latter sounds
ridiculous, but I just recently received a message from an
autoresponder that asked "Are you crazy?" I don’t know
about you, but that’s certainly not a question I’d ask my valued
prospects or customers.
The simple fact is,
it’s difficult to write an effective sales message that persuades
your prospect to become a customer. So stop sending them sales
letters!
Stop and think, are you
more likely to buy a product or service from someone you feel you know
and trust, or someone who hides behind a website and throws sales
letters at you?
If you provide your
prospects with useful information they can use, they’ll buy from you
when the time is right for them.
Here’s how you can
build up your prospect’s trust and turn your autoresponder into a
cash cow.
Instead of hard sell,
buy now, time is running out sales letters, send your customer useful
information.
If you sell toys, you
might consider a set of autoresponder messages like these:
1. Consumer Report :
How safe are your child’s toys.
2. The Top 10 Safest
Toys : Here you can present a list of the top 10 safest toys that you
have in your store. Each toy that you present in the list can have a
link to the sales page on your site for that toy.
3. Toys That Don’t
Play Well : Here you can present an article about the hazards that
children face when playing with low quality toys. Present the fact (if
it is a fact) that all the toys you offer in your store are top
quality and safety tested by your own private team of safety testers.
4. Emergency Response
to Toy Accidents : This email can focus on what to do if your child
has had an accident with a low quality toy. Examples : Choking on
small parts, puncture wounds from broken toys, cuts from sharp edges
on toys. Offer a printable poster that your prospects can print off
and hang on the wall with emergency responses. Your store name and
email address should be prominently displayed on the poster.
5. Your Child’s
Safety is Priceless : Present the benefits of paying a little extra to
get a top quality toy instead of risking your child’s safety to save
a couple dollars. Here you can present a list of top quality toys that
are guaranteed not to break. Each toy has a link to its sales page on
your site.
6. Santa’s Wish List
: This can be a simple list of the most popular toys that you sell in
your store, but with a twist. You can present the list FROM Santa
Claus, instead of TO him. These are the toys that Santa recommends
because they are quality, safety tested toys. Same as before, each toy
has a link to its sales page on your site.
7. FREE Toy Safety Test
: Here you can offer a coupon that your prospect can print out and
bring into your store along with any toy they like. The coupon gives
them a free safety check for a toy that they bring from home and gives
them a discount on a toy in your store.
By giving your
prospects and customers useful information, the feel they can trust
you. When they get an email from you, they are more likely to open it
because they know you are going to share something interesting, not
just tell them to "Buy my toy - buy my toy - buy my toy."
Of course you have to
sell your toys, or you’ll be out of business. You sell your toys by
recommending them, not pushing them. If you write your autoresponder
messages the same as if you were talking to a friend, you’ll build
lifelong business relationships with your customers. If you show that
you care about the customer, you have a repeat customer for life.
If you don’t have
time to write a set of messages for your customers, pick up the brand
new package, "Turn Your Autoresponder Into A Cash Cow." You
get 52 professionally written sales messages that will sell anything.
Each message is written in a newsletter format, so you always give
your customers valuable information first and recommend your product
second. You can get your copy here:
