John Reels’ Sales Bully
Tuesday, June 26th, 2007It seems to me like SalesBully will be all about psychological tricks to persuade people into buying your stuff. There’s no secret to the fact that you can make people buy your products by instilling some fear into them by telling them that they will fail miserably in their ventures without your product, that they will go broke or die if they don’t start using the tactics in your guide/report and what-not.
From what I can make of the salespage, John does this by presenting you with a number of “facts”. Like how they used the system to sell out their last product, “GoTryThis” in 7 days, how everyone who tested the system increased their conversion rates by up to 400% (or something, i didn’t really take much notice), and how, basically, you will be overrun by your competition if you don’t buy it.
He uses a bunch of javascript and css-tricks to instill a sense of urgency, and tells you that just because you’re you, you can have this fantastic, “can’t live without it, don’t leave home without it” product for only $177 instead of the real price $297.
I’m not falling for that. There are lots of great guides on how to persuade visitors into buying, and if I buy those I won’t have to shell out $177 and give John my ftp-details.
If you purchase his system, tell me how you liked it. Hopefully it’s more unique than GoTryThis “blackhat” (overpriced piece of junk)
