I'm going to share something great with you.
Please don't cover your ears and go "La La La La La La La" to try to drown out my voice.
This information is GOLD!!
Here it is:
There are usually two ways business owners try to close a sale.
1 -- The first approach is "ADRENALINE-BASED"
2 -- The second approach is "ENDORPHINS-BASED"
Let me explain
the difference :
1 -- An Adrenaline-based close will typically create a high-energy, fast-fading surge that's designed to force an immediate response. I'm not saying it doesn't work. It does. However, that type of approach creates the "fight-or-flight" response and will scare a lot of people away.
An example is: "SIgn up now... only 3 spots left! Buy now or miss out forever!
PROS: It drives immediate clicks and sales
CONS: It can scare off those who feel threatened by the pressure and could lead to buyer's remorse. Plus, it fades off quickly.
2
-- An Endorphins-based close gives sustained comfort and joy. It leads to relaxed satisfaction. It reduces the stress of the sale and makes the buyer feel safe.
An example is: "Imagine never having to worry about this problem again..." Or "You'll be the envy of your neighbors and admired
by all..."
Usually, Endorphins-based is used for high-ticket items, services that solve long-standing pain and building brand loyalty.
PROS: Increase lifetime customer value, less refunds and builds trust
CONS: Works slowly, doesn't capitalize on impulse

Now, Having Presented Both Approaches...
I suggest you experiment with both. Each has a time and place for usage. You might want to consider a hybrid of both. I've found that works quite effectively.
Hope you enjoyed this one.
Until next time...
