Marketing Tip – Scepticism in Your Marketing

🤔 It’s a FACT that most people will be sceptical about what you offer.

Whether you’re offering weight loss solutions, a new boiler, a family holiday or even marketing advice(!) your potential customers will be sceptical of you.

👌 And that’s normal!

From childhood, we’re taught to be wary of people we don’t know…and to never make a fast decision when it comes to buying something.

So to expect your prospect to go against the very habits and beliefs that are ingrained in childhood is foolish. 🙈

That’s why this week’s Tuesday Tip is to…

⭐Address scepticism head on. ⭐

Most people try to gloss over this. But both you and your prospect know it’s there and if you pretend it’s invisible, you look like a fool.

The best approach is called the “you might be wondering” language pattern. 👍

It works like this:

👉 First, you identify the main area of scepticism.

Let’s say you’re selling a course on Email Marketing …and the main area of scepticism is that people think it’ll be too hard from a “technical” perspective.

👉 The next step is to address this objection by framing it as a question.

Like this:

“You might be wondering how you’re going to survive the brutal paces of having to figure out complicated systems and software.”

👉 Now it’s time to answer that question using the classic…

“Feel, Felt, Found.”

It looks like this: 

“I know exactly how you feel.

In fact, I felt the same way when I started!

And up until recently, there really was a brutal learning curve.

In fact, it was worse than most people reali
se!

But recently, I found a simple way to get my emails sent that’s 100% tech-free.

I was able to set everything up in an afternoon, and it was so easy… I didn’t even have to read the instructions!

In fact, there was no software to install, no “code” of any kind, and when I think about it… it was actually fun!”
 

Now you’ve not only addressed their scepticism – but you’ve crushed it into oblivion!💥 

So the next time you want to sell something do this: 

  1. List all the things your prospects might be sceptical of
  2. Map out your own ‘Feel, Felt, Found’ for each one
  3. Use them in your marketing 

😲 You’ll be amazed at the difference it’ll make!
