Have you ever been to a jewelry store and a salesperson approaches you with a stunning piece and one line about how it will make others see you? Usually, that one sentence makes you stop and think, oh yes, that’s exactly why I want this piece. If you have, then that salesperson used a tested selling sentence on you and you didn’t even know it. 

 

What is a tested selling sentence? The concept was created by Elmer Wheeler, Mr. Sizzle. He was one of the greatest salespeople the world has ever seen and he did it by creating sentences with words specifically chosen to make buying easier. He created over 105,000 sentences in his time and tested them all to the point that only about 5,000 passed.  

 

Listen in as Alex shares some of the sentences he created and how they were specifically designed to help the buyer take action. If you’d like to learn more about Wheeler’s sentences, check out his book Tested Sentences That Sell. He spent over a decade refining his technique and then put his research together to teach others. 

 

Wheeler’s techniques are used still today throughout almost every industry. They’ve stood the test of time because they speak to the heart of the buyer. The three key insights you’ll learn in this  episode are: 

 

  • What tested selling sentences are and who created them.
  • Why tested selling sentences can work well in any industry.
  • How tested selling sentences are discovered and deployed.
