Campaign Driven Enterprises<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">It&#8217;s difficult to make one sale at a time. People will delay until the very end. I definitely agree that this is true. A lot of my sales are typically made within 24 hours of the deadline. Instead, Daniel talks about getting people to go in all at once which creates urgency and social proof &#8211; two very powerful motivators &#8211; to get customers to act rather than delay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.

I know some people in Australia set their alarms to 3 am to be able to get tickets. However, the quality of WDS has deteriorated somewhat and I&#8217;ve noticed an impact on the last round of ticket sales. The organizer picked up on this too and have reduced the numbers from 3,000 to 1,000 people and pre-sold 500 at last years WDS so that at least 50% of attendees will be returning ones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Name your terms<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Need to state who you want to work with, how many people you can serve and on what terms you&#8217;ll work with them<\/li>\n<li>In some of the fancy restaurants I went to in San Francisco, they&#8217;ll typically charge the set menu price on your card in order to hold your reservation (and keep the money if you don&#8217;t show up)<\/li>\n<li>Ask people to signal their interest (expression of interest, email request) instead of purchasing your product<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Transparency <\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Show people how many have been signalled and how many signalled back<\/li>\n<li>E.g. posting on FB Group, it&#8217;s very transparent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Think Smartphone<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Communicate in frequent bite-sized chunks that add value to people<\/li>\n<li>Quality content, images, recordings etc<\/li>\n<li>Use location relevant content<\/li>\n<li>Use context to your advantage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Educate or Entertain<\/strong> &#8211; once you have your audience, you&#8217;ll need to build relationship<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>7 Hour Rule<\/strong> &#8211; that&#8217;s how long it takes to convert from &#8220;maybe&#8221; to &#8220;I&#8217;d love to&#8221;.
