4.Proof. Anytime you make a statement regarding benefits that your product will bring, you need to back that statement up with proof. Testimonials, quotes, charts, graphs, pictures, endorsements, and articles are great ways to prove your claims and cause your prospects to believe what you are saying. Remember that most people are skeptical initially, but you can overcome that skepticism with proof. 5.A Low-Risk Offer. After a customer has read your USP, your educational content, and your proof, you need to encourage them to take next step in buying process. The next step could be to make a purchase, to call for more information, to set an appointment, or whatever. Whatever next logical step is you need to invite your prospect to take it, and make them feel comfortable about taking it. If you want them to make a purchase, mention a money-back guarantee. If you want them to call for more information, reassure them that they won’t be pressured. You need to try and remove all of possible barriers that would prevent a person from taking next step. Incorporate as many or these elements as you can to ensure your brochure leads your prospects closer to making a buying decision.
