THE BIG IDEA

All It Takes Is A Little Brain Picking

I came across this YouTube short featuring Alex Hormozi spilling the beans on a trick he uses to seal deals with just about anyone.

Even though it was just a demo, I have to admit, I fell for it too!

Now if you don't know Alex Hormozi, he's one of the biggest sales dudes making waves in the industry. He's also the author of $100m offers and a good number of people testified it helped them make their first $100k.

Thankfully, Alex’s video was just a demo, else, he'd have had me swiping my card at yet another impulse purchase🤧

But what I got from Alex was the psychology behind his success and how the manner you convey your sentence matters.

I started applying his “Would you be opposed to moving forward?” trick to end my cold messages and I did notice a higher positive response rate!

So I went ahead to collect some of the most successful psychology techniques brands are currently using to sell;

  1. The Decoy Effect
  2. Zeigarnik Effect
  3. The MAYA Principle
  4. The Framing Effect

And you should definitely check them out!

STORY OF THE WEEK

Behind The Scenes Of A Digital Marketer

Many people have no idea what goes down behind the scenes of a digital marketer. So here you go..

What’s it like being a digital marketer?

Being a digital marketer, there are always regular duties I can get on with. One of these is looking through Pinterest. For example, I often find a piece of really clever copywriting which I then add to the copywriting inspiration board so that any visitors viewing the page can then also add that to their own profile.

What skills do you need to work in digital marketing?

A big skill to have in marketing as a whole is to be able to sell. Knowing how to engage with people and turn them into sales opportunities can be key to growth.

It’s not about pestering someone into buying your services when you know they aren’t interested. For example, if someone wanted you to do some copywriting work but also said they struggled with social media then you could offer your social media services.
