If you’re competing with bigger companies for the same customers, sometimes the job to be done can seem overwhelming.
But there is one exercise anyone can do that will provide you with a ton of clarity and competitive advantage in almost no time at all.
Try this.
If you could describe the feeling you want your prospects to have when they read an email from you, what would that feeling be?
Warm and welcome, right?
You see, leveraging AI to fill in the gaps of your copywriting is okay but Direct Response Marketing should never feel cold.
Why would anyone send emails that don’t bring that warm and welcome feeling every time?
You shouldn’t.
But if you’re sending emails that make you cringe because you know you’re being an unwelcome pest, what could be one thing you might change that would help you instantly become a welcome guest in their inbox?
Make them want to open and read ALL of your emails every time they see your name?
Your personality, your brand and the way you tell your stories can lead to selling higher ticket offers at a much higher frequency.
Sounds good, right? So, where’s a good place to start?
Think about your empathy for the problem your ideal customers have right now.
Close your eyes and be still until you can feel their fear and their frustration too.
It’s not about you.
If you’re struggling to figure out how to get your prospects to know, like & trust you, try shining the light on the successes of your customers instead of focusing the spotlight only on yourself.
If you commit to doing this, the evidence of your success will be the warm afterglow that happens in your prospect’s mind when you demonstrate the feeling your customers have when they work with you.
Help them feel the feeling they want to feel, which is cared for and understood.
If you understand their desire and you know how to get them closer to their dream, you have every reason to talk to them like a friend.
Have the conversation with them about the result that they’re looking for in the form of a story they’ll love.
It may seem counterintuitive, but see if you can make it about anyone else but you.
