7 secrets of using guarantees to increase your sales
You can make it easy for people to buy your product or service by taking the risk out of their decision
Based on the techniques of hypnosis and Neuro-linguistic Programming, you want them to picture in their mind what it will be like in the future after they have bought it.
It may be difficult for them to do that if there is too much risk involved so your marketing task is to remov the risk.
The way you do that is through some sort of guarantee.
Most potential buyers will be a bit skeptical of buying whatever you sell and a guarantee removes a significant part of their risk.
People want to know that you will “put your money where your mouth is.” If you have confidence in your own product or service, this will help your customers feel at ease, leading to more sales.
For this reason, the concept of “risk reversal” is crucial.
If you can’t stand behind your offer of promo keychains with a guarantee of some sort, people are likely to purchase from someone who does. So make sure you don’t help the competition by missing out this part of your offer.
Some people are too scared to offer a guarantee as they worry that people will take them up on it.
The reality is that some will but, provided you deliver good quality and don’t make unjustified claims, you will win more business by having the guarantee than you will lose in this way.
Here are 7 secrets of making your guarantee as powerful as possible.
1. Promote the value of your guarantee: Specify the details as though it is another product that adds value to your offer. Spell it out in plain, simple English. Make sure it is “no questions asked” to help put your customers at ease. (more…)

Internet Authors are farmers, really
Internet Authors are like farmers, in that they plough their own furrow. They work alone, often separated from friends and family, wondering – like all writers – if the stories they are producing work will ever see the light of day. Still, they are driven on by a conviction that what they have to say is worth reading and a belief, grounded in reality, that they will be able, eventually, to communicate their writing to the wider world, through the medium of the internet. In that, they are one step up on their fellow writers who choose to remain reliant on the world of Traditional Publishing, in that Internet Authors can be assured that the books they write will be uploaded, printed and seen, and will not moulder on the desks of publishing assistants and unhelpful Editors.
