Here’s Your Formula For Call To Action Video 1.“That was pretty cool wasn’t it” 2.Here’s what I got 3.Here’s how it will benefit you (so that) 4.Here’s what I want you to do next
Here’s What I Got This is the thing that you do well, your unique selling proposition Examples: Fast closings, individual websites for their home for sale, credit challenged OK because you know of a great credit repair company, list of homes for sale for “pennies on the dollar”, etc…
Here’s How It Will Benefit You How will they benefit from your USP? Fast closings: So that you can move on and not have the worries of “is this going to be ok” Homes for sale for pennies on the dollar: So that we make sure you are getting the best home for a great price so that you will have a lower monthly payment, then take that saved money to take an extra vacation every year. Individual Websites for their listing: So that you will have more people from all over the world seeing your home, including a virtual tour, so that people that ask to visit your home are already pre-sold, thus less “tire kickers”, all resulting in better offers, more of them, and a faster sale, so that you can move on.
Here’s What I Want You To Do Next Tell them exactly what to do next: – Call that number – Click that button – Forward this to your friends, family and co- workers – Shoot me an now – Subscribe, Share, & Forward
