Questions are equally vital during
presentation, i.e., in
body of your web copy, for clearly explaining how your product or service solves your prospect's problem in an easy, fast, or cost-effective way.
Therefore, install questions within your sales copy that capture attention. Keep your prospect involved, and keep his mind from wandering off in a different direction by using intriguing questions that grab his lapels and jerk him toward you. For
length of time that it takes a prospect to answer a question in his mind, you have his total attention. The prospect is drawn more and more into
sales process as your questioning proceeds. If your questions are logical, orderly and sequential, you can lead
prospect forward toward
inevitable conclusion to purchase your product or service.
Tip: Never say something if you can ask it instead! Think of how you can phrase your key selling points as questions. The person who asks questions has control!
Closing Questions that Presume
Sale
Just as questions are important at
beginning and
body of your web copy, they are even more vital at
end in gaining a commitment to action.
The key to asking a closing question is confident expectation. You must skillfully craft your question to convey that you confidently expect
prospect to say, "Yes" or to agree to
sale.
For example, you can pose
following question in your web copy: "When would you like to start using to multiply your profits?" In other words, you don't ask if they want to buy your product, but when. This way, you're asking for
sale expectantly, and
more confidently you expect to sell,
more likely it is that you will sell.
Tip: In crafting your closing question, include
benefit that your prospect will get from your product.
When you ask a compelling closing question, you diffuse
tension that normally creeps up on your prospect at
"moment of truth." A prospect's tension leads to
hesitance that kills so many sales - both online and offline.
To be truly persuasive in
selling process, learn to use questions judiciously throughout your web copy. Instead of trying to overwhelm your prospects with reasons and rationales for doing what you want them to do, ask strategic questions instead. When you take
time to plan
wording of your questions, your prospect will become more interested in your product -- and consequently, you will make more sales.
