Why Can’t You Figure Out What Your Customer Wants?⠀

You have tried and tried to get that offer right. You’ve made a thousand opt-ins, but none of them have really stuck. Your ads get mediocre results. Your sales copy is all over the place. ⠀

The worst part? You have no idea how to make it better because every time you start building something else, it feels like a crap shoot. Surely this can’t be the way, hit and miss? Trial and error?⠀

You’re right. It’s not. What that is, is a big fat waste of your very precious time and you should just stop right now and put your content-offer-ad-sales page making machine on idle for a moment while I tell you how to fix this.

The good news is that the solution to your problem also has very positive side effects for your business, and is actually pretty fun.⠀

So, think about shopping for gifts for people. This should be a recent and fresh feeling. There are always those people on your gift-giving list who make your stomach tighten up and you feel a complete block when it comes to buying something for them.⠀

You toss and turn and go over and over all the options but they are just impossible. You know why? Because you don’t know them well enough. ⠀

My kids, for instance, are super easy to shop for. They live with me, I spend all my free time with them, they grew in my body and I talk to them constantly. I can’t know someone better than them, and gift giving is a breeze. ⠀

My kids’ teachers? No idea. I speak to them rarely, and it’s always pleasantries or we are focused on my kid. I wouldn’t have a clue how to buy them a meaningful gift. So they get wine and Advil.⠀

Now, think about your customers. Do you feel like you know them like I do my kids, or do you waffle when you think of what they want or need?⠀

If the latter, go out and get to know them. Ask for coffee dates with potential customers – no pitching. Be social and engage with them, immerse yourself in their world. Give away a free session or product and see how they use it.

Listen and watch. Everything you need to know is right there, waiting to be seen.
