On this week’s kick-ass episode of ‘The Pete Godfrey Persuasion Show’ we get chattin’ about one of Pete’s all-time favorite subjects:

Membership marketing.

Pete’s a master in the membership marketing ‘world’. That’s kinda what happens when you spend 15 years developing continuity membership models for hundreds of businesses.

And we’re not talking just info-marketers either…

As Pete explains, he’s helped all types of businesses – from chiropractors to an air conditioning mob – build a stream of continuity income.

If you own a business…you can probably build a membership arm. And that’s means you’ve got regular sales locked-in each and every month. That’s the exciting part. You keep whacking the cards each month until they tell you to stop.

Tune in now and discover:

• The 4 critical areas of membership marketing
• Short term conversion/retention (and why the first few weeks are super-critical!)
• Offering a free trial? Don’t make this silly assumption
• Why you need a welcome pack for all new arrivals (and what to include in your welcome pack)…
• The BIG benefits of the ‘unexpected gift’
• The beauty of a ‘referral culture’…and how to create this culture in your membership community
• YOU THE GURU! Why you’ve ALWAYS got to have something interesting to say…
• Warts-and-all membership marketing. Why you need to reveal your successes as well as your flaws to connect and build relationships
• And a whole bunch more…hit the play button now and listen in

In other words, how to breath life into your copy…have readers hang off your every word…and salivate at the mouth in raw anticipation of what you have to say next.

Good.

Me and Pete are doing something REAL special for you, our loyal listener. Make sure you tune in…or you’ll miss out.

First, you and I need to have a little chat.

Drop what you’re doing and listen in…

Let me make this very clear.

If you think having the ‘best’ product means you’ll automatically get bucket loads of sales.

You’re WRONG.

Delusional even.

I know that sounds harsh…but it’s true.

The world is full of ‘best’ products that go nowhere. And many would-be marketer’s garages are packed full of products they ‘thought’ would fly off the shelves.

So, stop drinking the ‘best’ product cool-aid…and instead, put aside 15 minutes and listen into this week’s show where Pete and I show you how to ramp up your sales figures.
