It was my anniversary yesterday, so I figure talking about “connecting” makes sense.

Let’s take a look at three ways to connect with your buyers using direct response copywriting.

1.  Be specific

We’ve talked a lot about this, so let’s look at an example of what I mean.

Pencil, non-specific:  Yellow pencil, No. 2 lead, 49 cents

Pencil, specific:  Thick Norwegian spruce, virtually unbreakable pencils now available.  Polished carbon lead, guaranteed smudge-free, approximate life of 2,162 pages.  Fits snugly in your hand, doesn’t slip, fat dust-free erasers up top, in your choice of colors, Porky Pig Pink or Evergreen.  Only $1.19 each

See, being specific sells better and it also lets you charge a LOT more.

2.  Use testimonials.

Look, when it comes down to it… what you as the seller have to say about whatever it is you’re selling… is FAR less important than what others have to say.  And here’s a real example of this:

“Craig is ORIGINAL. He thinks like no one else thinks, and he will show you how to do the same. Why keep using old approaches when his new ones work 5 times better? And the nice thing is, Craig reveals everything about these secret strategies, holding nothing back.

I could go on like this for hours, because Craig’s work is carefully crafted with the same precision Stradivarius uses to craft a custom violin. There are very few men like him on earth.”

That’s what Christian Godefroy from Chesieres, Switzerland —  a guy who’s sold in excess of $300 Million worth of goods and services — had to say about my work in “How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers.”

And it’s a heck of a lot more effective than me trying to ramble on about myself, isn’t it?

3.  And lastly, create confidence in whatever it is you’re offering.  This builds the dream you’re selling, or the hope you’re offering, as big as a mountain.

Don’t say, “I graduated medical school in 1990.”  Instead, say “Over the last 20 years I’ve performed this procedure on over 2,017 people in 6 different facilities in town, and once when I was on vacation in Florida.”

(By the way, that averages out to only two per week, which just goes to show you the power of compounding when you work things out.)

No one’s going to buy anything from you unless they are confident in your ability to deliver on your promises.  And unless you’re a big name celebrity, you must create this confidence in your skills – it doesn’t just “ride along” with you.

Simple, yet very effective strategies to use… keep ’em in mind.

Now go sell something, Craig Garber
