I’m sharing everything you need to know about the elements of a movement, why they outperform markets, and how you can monetize them.

Even the most well-planned out marketing campaigns fail if the message or audience is off. If you have the right message but the wrong audience, or the right audience and wrong message, then your marketing will fall flat. Learn how pre-framing your offer eliminates this issue.

 

When you pre-frame your offer, you’re letting your potential customers or clients pre-qualify themselves. There are several ways to do this, but when you use Dr. Robert Cialdini’s 7-tactics, you can turn a cold audience into a hot audience, even if they wouldn’t benefit from your offer. 

 

By establishing trust upfront and letting your potential clients and customers know exactly what you’re offering or what your message is about, you create a loyal following. For instance, if your offer of premium beef lands on the lap of a premium vegan-only eater, but you’ve told them to “stop-reading” if they don’t like premium beef, you’ve created a sense of trust

 

Pre-framing your message is one of the most effective ways to reach your ideal client avatar. You cannot sell to everyone, that’s one of the biggest marketing mistakes you can make. Instead, make sure your message is making it to the right people. Listen in as I share these three key insights about learnable skill secrets: 

 

  • What pre-framing is and how it is a pre-suasive tool to invite more sales.
  • Why pre-framing is critical to every selling conversation you and your candidates engage in.
  • How to apply pre-framing magic by modeling the masters who have done it before you.

 

As you craft your offers and the messaging around them, keep the pre-suasion framework in mind. I share all 7-tactics as well as how you can use them in your messaging. Listen in to learn more.
