π How your wishy washy words won't sell your program
Hi Reader,
I witness this strange phenomenon every Tuesday.
As part of our Luminaries coaching program, I critique sales emails written by women trying to sell their online programs.
Their first drafts often come across as if they're knocking gently on someone's office door and asking in a soft voice, "Oh, hey, hi there. Sorry to bother you, but do you have a minute to listen to my idea? If not, I can come back later."
The "office, "of course, is the inbox of their readers. Their whispery written words betray their inner thoughts of not wanting to disturb their readers or take up any "digitalβ space. Theyβre tip-toeing into the inbox and hoping like hell that no one is irritated.
Stop writing so that no one will criticize or judge you.
When you begin writing an email worrying about what other people will think, youβre doomed before you type the period of your first sentence.
Email copy that people pleases is so benign that no one can criticize you for anything because, well, you're not saying much of anything.
Phew. Everyone is happy.
Oh, crap. No one is buying.
Here's a bold reframe: β
You need to write an email and be ok that some people won't like it, won't read it or will have some negative thoughts.
Once you're okay with this premise, you're free to say what you really want to say.
Instead of:
βοΈ Just want to pop in and let you know that I've started training in functional medicine and thought you should know.
It becomes:
ββοΈ There's a new functional medicine program in town and it's going to help you lose that hormonal tummy pooch.
Instead of: β
ββοΈ I wanted to share with you that I may have a new course that you might like.
It becomes:
ββοΈ My new program "How to Stop People Pleasing" is launching next week and if you're tired of never asking for what you really want, this is for you.
Bring your excitement.
Bring your energy.
Believe fully in what you can do for your clients.
Write from that place and watch the phenomenon of readers bolting for the buy button.
p.s. In our Luminaries coaching program, we critique our client's copy. They submit email sequences or sales pages, and weβll review them with our Don Draper eyes and provide feedback. Get on the waitlist here to be notified when doors open next.

Hey Reader, You don't need to think for your students. Here's what I mean:π Teacher Sally booked all her student's classes for them. She didn't want them to go through the effort of clicking to sign up for their next class. π Teacher Jane planned a 4-month launch so that the launch emails were spaced out over a long period of time. She didn't want to annoy her audience with frequent emails. π Teacher Ann priced her course so low that she had to take a part-time job to survive. She didn't want...
Hey Reader, Six-figures. The sought-after revenue goal with two commas and five plump, confident-building zeros. I'm working on some material around changes you need to make to earn six figures (which will be showing up in your inbox soon), and it occurred to me that many of you may have already made six figures."Whaaat?"I know!That's why I had to send this sooner than later. When you hear "make six figures," my guess is that you think of making one hundred thousand in a one-year period, as...
Hi Reader, An opera star taught me how to public speak. I arrived early to the first evening class. But once inside the classroom, I saw that there was no instructor, or notes on the blackboard. Weird. Besides a few sniffles and some butt-shifting in chairs, the seconds ticking on the clock were the only sounds in the classroom. The start time came and went. Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock. I was wondering if this was a mistake. What kind of instructor is late for the first class? Not a good...
