People are more likely to take action on the things they become emotionally involved in and emotion is the language of the subconscious mind. Here are three psychological devices you can use in your sales copy to communicate with the subconscious of your readers… All three of these examples are based on a technique called “anchoring.” Anchoring takes to unrelated things and ties them together, giving the impression that if one of them is true than ...]]> http://www.vqsuccess.com/2009/12/23/copywriting-secrets-three-psychological-triggers-that-explode-conversions/feed/ 2 http://www.vqsuccess.com/2009/12/23/copywriting-secrets-preparing-your-prospects-to-buy/ http://www.vqsuccess.com/2009/12/23/copywriting-secrets-preparing-your-prospects-to-buy/#comments Wed, 23 Dec 2009 07:18:05 +0000 Seth Czerepak http://www.vqsuccess.com/?p=1657 Did you know that there’s something you can do in the first FIVE lines of your sales copy to prepare your customers to make a buying decision? It’s called “future pacing,” and within a few moments you’ll know how to use this powerful strategy to explode your sales conversions… Let’s begin with an example: say that you’re selling a financial product for teaching your customers how to manage, invest and spend their money wisely.

If I had to pick one thing it would be force. Does your writing have that oomph that just leaps off the page and seizes the attention of your customers?

Just read what the masters like Bob Bly, Joe Vitale and Dan Kennedy are saying and you’ll see that they swear by the art of appealing to the emotions. But which emotions compel people to whip out their wallets in a buying frenzy?
