Use Emotions To Make More Effective Sales

Many marketers, myself included, can become detached from our audience at times. Our need for sales gets overwhelming and we can end up putting out some sub-par products on our shelves.

We never think about who we’re really selling for, is it for ourselves or are we in business to help make someone’s life better by knowing us or using our service or product.

Purchase a particular brand of cereal and your children will think you’re the
best parent ever. Use a specific shaving product and you’ll exude sex appeal. Shop at a certain store and you’ll enjoy the lifestyle of your dreams.

Logic dictates that these things simply are not true, but marketing campaigns that work are built around these concepts. People buy into them and prove it with their expenditures of choice all the time.

Why is it that these marketing campaigns work even for average products
when more reasonable, straightforward and traditional methods might fall
short?

The simple fact of the matter is that marketing campaigns that appeal to
people on an emotional, or subconscious level can have a huge impact.

When they are successful, logic may tell consumers one thing, but their
emotions will drive them forward to act any way.

People are simply wired to respond to certain cues. When the triggers for
these cues are tripped through marketing campaigns or other efforts, people will act.

The secrets of marketing successfully in this manner are not necessarily easy to learn. If they were, every product out there would be a top seller. When the right lessons are studied, however, marketing campaigns can bowl over the competition thanks to the power of emotional appeals.

Before you can begin to truly know your customers, you need to know
yourself. What is your “WHY?” Are you in it for the money or to make a
difference in people’s lives?

Could You Change Your Marketing Approach?

There’s a saying that goes,”If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always got.” Does that apply to your marketing strategies and campaigns? Are you still doing the same thing expecting new results?

Textbook marketing approaches can go a long way toward building product sales and images. They can be just good enough to get noticed, but they might not produce the results you’re after. If you’re ready to go beyond what you learned in school or even by trial and error, there is an area of study worth paying attention to.

What is that area of study?

The real secret to marketing success lies in understanding human beings. People are complex creatures that are often compelled to believe they are ruled by their minds, logic and reason. To an extent, this is true.

People, however, are also highly motivated by influences that are much less black and white in nature. They will purchase products and take particular actions if they are appealed to on an emotional or want-based level.

Tap into both areas with a marketing campaign and the results can stagger. Use emotion or storytelling in your copy and see what happens to your conversions.

Learning how to successfully market in a manner that falls outside the traditional box is not necessarily easy. There are ways to learn the ropes and gain insight from those who have mastered the art of making a decent product one that people will not pass by.

If you are ready to change your marketing approach and take campaigns beyond expectations, human nature and the forces that influence it should be your focus of study.

Speak to the person behind the “customer” and you’ll learn more about both your market and your customers.

The ListBuilding Club Is Solid, Understandable Training


Overcome Everything has provided some of the best training for Internet marketing on the Web today.

Why? you may wonder

Never has there been a course set up so that new, intermediate, and advanced Internet marketers can gain from the becoming a member. Learning is provided in step-by-step video training, in written form via articles, and in audio form so that visual, tactile, and auditory learners can all benefit from what the company has put together.

New marketers can find their way immediately as the training begins with something as important, and yet as simple, as finding a niche, buying a domain name, and setting up a hosting account. But to further their ability to make a mark online and to begin building a list, club gets new marketers to come away with a WordPress blog set up and ready to go in just 5 lessons.

The basic level of membership also includes a 3-hour “Marathon” call every month where Overcome Everything staff members answer questions about the month’s content and other nagging issues that people may be experiencing in their businesses. Every member of the ListBuildingClub, regardless of their membership level, is invited to join in this call.

For intermediate marketers, there are tutorials on different forms of traffic, on creating a product, and on using social media to its best advantage. The ListBuilding Club gold membership includes a monthly newsletter and what Tellman Knudson  calls a monthly “MindJack,” in which he provides hypnotic inducements toward self-help, such as stopping procrastination, gaining self-esteem, and ending fear and anxiety. This gold level also includes a monthly Website Spotlight call when three to five gold level members’ websites are critiqued by members of the Overcome Everything staff.

The experienced marketer, who needs more specific advice, might enjoy ListBuilding 4-1-1, a video help line whereby members can ask one question about anything they’re having trouble with per day. Within 24 hours, the questions are answered in video format by a member of the Overcome Everything team or even by Tellman himself. This level of membership also includes all the benefits of the gold membership level, and it’s not strictly for experienced marketers. Anyone is eligible to join.

The ListBuilding Club prices for membership are $67 for a basic version with video, written, and audio instruction. The Gold version includes the basics, as well as the materials outlined above for $97. ListBuilding 4-1-1 membership is $497 per month.

The only drawback to the ListBuilding Club is that you spend very little time with Tellman at the basic or gold levels. However, this issue is moot, since he has trained such a highly-capable staff.

For the money, I’d say that The ListBuilding Club is well worth the investment. You can spend a lot of money on several different products and only get some of the information inside the club at half the quality. If you’re looking to start a business or move a business forward, look into the ListBuilding Club. It could be the perfect answer to any Internet marketing frustrations you’re anxious to remove. Start making more money and growing your business with the least amount of confusion.
