I sucked at getting dates in high school.
I mean, it was truly pathetic.
No, not because I was awkward or full of acne or a “social leper” or anything like that (at least, no more than any other snot-nosed little punk at the time).
But I couldn’t get a date with a pocketful of $50’s.
Yes, I could charm the women.
Yes, I could flirt with them.
And yes, I could even get them wanting to go out with me.
But, in the end, I got very few dates.
I couldn’t figure out the problem at the time. But now it’s crystal clear what the “snag” in my game was. And it just so happens to be the exact same thing that keeps most marketers from “closing the deal” online, too.
What do I speaketh of?
Not asking for the “sale.”
Or, at least, not asking for it in the right way.
I made that mistake many a time back in my teenage “angst” years, and whenever I do ad critiques, I see the EXACT same mistake being made online, too.
Sometimes, they just ain’t asking for the sale at all.
But usually, they are asking but doing it wrong.
And because of that, they make little or no sales (or their sales are FAR lower than they should be).
Anyway, why do I bring this awkward subject up?
Why broadcast my lame teenage failures?
Because the next issue of The Crypto Marketing Newsletter is about closing the sale in ads — complete with word-for-word examples of how to do it. Including one way I never see anyone else doing, but that works like gangbusters.
Frankly, I have yet to see it fail.
Anyway, this issue goes out in a couple weeks.
