Good work yesterday!
Getting clear about what your offer is going to be was step 1.
Step 2?
How much should you charge for that offer?
Exciting stuff, right?!!
We are all in business to make money, there is no denying that.
But how we make that money is equally important to the life and sustainability of your business.
We can either use “push” tactics to make people buy your offer… OR… we can “pull” the perfect clients in with a well-designed and beautifully-priced offer.
Day 2 of the “5 Days to Your Irresistible Offer Challenge” is all about pricing your offer in a way that becomes a total steal.
Day 2 – PRICING YOUR OFFER
Pricing is as much an art as it is a science, one that relies on market research as well as psychology of your perfect person.
When priced correctly, your offer can turbocharge your sales without you having to justify anything at all. Get your pricing strategy wrong and you may repel people without you even knowing about it.
But here’s the thing.
There's no one surefire way to price your offer the right way.
There really isn’t.
However, there certainly are some key factors that help you steer the ship in the right direction, i.e. insane clarity on your target clientele, active competitor research, and understanding the hidden benefits of your offer.
Clearer you are about the VALUE of your offer, easier it gets to charge a good price for your offer.
DAY TWO ASSIGNMENT:
ACTION STEPS:
Remember! Charging high-end prices for your hard work isn’t a far-fetched dream. But you do need to prime your audience enough to invest in you without any hesitation or remorse.
Welcome to Day 1 of the “5 Days to Your Irresistible Offer Challenge.”
Excited to dive in? I sure am!
Let’s get to it right away.
Day 1 is all about creating an offer that you can sell with absolute confidence and dignity – no sweaty palms, shaky hands or dry throat.
Now creating an offer isn’t rocket science. Anyone who has a little business know-how and willingness to make money can come up with an offer. But creating an offer that RESONATES with your ideal clients and SELLS like crazy is a whole new ball game.
If you don’t create the right offer at the right time for the right people, you’re leaving your efforts up to chance.
And quite frankly, that’s a total waste of time and money.
After working with clients in various industries and creating my own offers, I’ve created an offer suite that I use to get people hooked, gain their trust and offer ultimate transformation – retaining them as lifelong happy customers.
This offer suite is there to NOT only help you establish yourself as an expert but also to get your perfect person obsessed with your work.
Beware though! You can’t expect to skip steps and have great results! Each offer type has its own time and place in your business journey so you must give them equal importance.
Day 1: CREATING YOUR OFFER
Types of offers:
DAY ONE ASSIGNMENT:
ACTION STEPS:
Creating an offer that’s aligned with your current phase in business, your experience and your goals is the BEST thing you can do to yourself (and your business).
Remember! No step is too small or too big if taken with the right plan of action.
Can’t wait to see what kind of offer you are going to create with us over the next 5 days!
See you in the Facebook Community!
