The Art Of Pre-Selling Separates The Top Earners From The Newbies

By Kylon Trower

Many marketers overlook the art of pre-selling before they ask for the business. This small step is critically important in making sure the person has a need for what you want before you make an offer.

One aspect of pre-selling is actually selling yourself before you sell your product. By doing this, you help your customer feel good about you and become emotionally bonded with you on some level.

Building up anticipation is an important aspect of pre-selling as well. Let's say a friend you told you he bought a product that increased his web traffic by 200% but didn't reveal the name. You'd be salivating waiting for him to reveal the goods, right? That's the power of anticipation.

Mention any benefit that gets your prospects attention without revealing the solution is a great way to control your prospects next action. Once you roll out the solution they will grab it without hesitation.

There are many ways to pre-sell and it's not just about uncovering your product bit by bit. You can actually give away an entire e-book and use it to pre-sell for another
higher ticket item. The e-book was used to pre-sell and gain trust. This is also an example of the law of reciprocity at work.

You can pre-sell by including a snippet or two from your e-book and mentioning it as a viable solution to driving massive targeted traffic to your website. If people get good advice from your newsletter, they will perceive you as an expert and naturally be more curious.

At the end of the day, its really about giving massive use value to people before you ask them to buy something from you. If you can help people to solve their problems, they will often be very willing to buy products from you over and over again. - 16039
