#7.) Tell them a personal story
People often learn through analogy. So tell them a story to educate them.
"When I was in college and posting on a blog, I never in a million years thought I could make money from it...."
"The best decision I ever made in my life was learning how to write copy...."
"When I was fat I just always assumed I would be fat, because that was my entire identity.....then a friend dragged me to a yoga class and it all changed."
"I'd probably still be working at McDonald's if I never sought out to find a mentor...."
"The scariest thing I ever did (and keep in mind I've given birth to 6 kids) was quit my job of 15 years...."
"Before taking that class I never in a million years thought I could start my own business. I didn't even know anyone who'd ever started a business...."
"I was lucky and started my first business in high school where I learned that you can CREATE money by giving people stuff they want and need."
"It's weird how my journey to becoming a millionaire started. It all began when I threw a penny down a magical wishing well...."
"The first time I bought a car I didn't know what I was doing and got ripped off badly. I regretted the purchase for years. Then I discovered the art of negotiation. I just walked out of the dealership paying 20% less than everyone else."
"Before I learned how to negotiate I would accept any price someone told me. That was until I did The Coffee Challenge. That showed me that ALL prices are negotiable."
"I really hated accounting. That's why I forced myself to take a class on it. It's one of the best decisions I ever made. I could notice holes in my revenue I never saw before."
"I've been to defensive driving classes 4 times. The first three were so incredibly mind-numbing. I was happy to discover going to COMEDY Defensive Driving with Jim was 6 hours of fun!"
"The first real business I started was just purely out of curiosity to see if I could build it. I never actually expected it to make money, but it did!"
"Taking a class on copywriting immediately improved my cold email skills. I closed 3 new clients the next day as a result of cold emails (in the past I NEVER closed deals through cold emails)!"
#8.) Give a Before/After case study or testimonial
Showing pictures or telling examples about the changes people made after your product can be very inspiring.
"Casey was 245 pounds and depressed when he came to me. After a year of training at my camp, he was down to 180 and full of confidence.
"Before Matt's training, I was hitting about 3 out of 10 pitches. After Matt's training, I was hitting 9 out of 10."
"My car used to do 0-60 in 9 seconds....after I took it to Ronaldo's High Performance they had it doing 0-60 in 4 seconds."
"My car used to get so hot in the summer the leather would burn my legs. After going to Mother's Window Tint the car stays nice and cool."

Before my class: Robert was $3,000 in debt. After my class: Robert had $5,000 in savings.
"I was always nervous and scared to talk with new people, but after Jordan's bootcamp I can easily make new friends at any event I go to."
"In the past I would constantly yo-yo diet and gain the weight back. It wasn't until I used MyBodyTutor that I could finally keep the weight off permanently."
"Before this business mastery class I couldn't even use Excel. It was embarrassing at work to take longer than everyone else to finish my assignments. After the class I'm actually helping my boss with her Excel questions!"
"It's amazing how much I've changed since joining Matt's Gym. When friends who I haven't seen in six months see me, they can't believe I'm the same person. They always knew me as a big guy, but now I'm a ripped guy!"
"There used to be NO WAY I'd wake up in the morning before 8:30am. After downloading the Wakeful app, it's actually a pleasure waking up!"
"One of the craziest transformations I've ever seen was this guy named George who simply couldn't look people in the eye and talk to them. After the bootcamp he was mingling, making friends, and being the life of the party with no problem."
"The best part about the results I got was the change of my mindset about food. Before I used to view food as something to stuff in my mouth when bored. Now I view it as fuel."
Jeff was always fighting with his family members. Yet after my class, his entire family suddenly stopped fighting with him. What Jeff realized was the tools he learned in this seminar changed HIM, not his family.
"Before everyone thought I dressed like a bum. After a style consult with Jennifer I'm getting compliments everyday on my new outfits!"
"Before I learned the art of copywriting I didn't research products before I built them. After I started THINKING LIKE A COPYWRITER I began to realize I could sell a product before it's ever built, and test if it works."
"The fact is I could have never gotten out of my student debt without Rick's help. He got me on an affordable plan and got me debt free in 2 years."
Before: 312 pounds After: 189 pounds
"Before I was all saggy and wrinkly on my face. After going to The Med Spa I look 15 years younger."
"Before I was always chained to a desk. I liked my job, but only got 14 days off a year. After becoming a copywriter I started getting gigs that I could finish from anywhere in the world."
