How to switch between sales modalities

I am one of those guys who just loves to write … for hours, and hours, this being one of the reasons why you are seeing this piece of work. But at the same time, I push myself into doing more videos, podcasts, create webinars, and other pieces of more visual content.

All of us have a favorite way to consume content. Some ways are like second nature to us, others are adopted when we push ourselves. Maybe you like to read blog posts, articles, reviews, watch videos, attend online & physical events, listen to podcasts, or digest photo content. These are also called modalities to consume content.

Also, I read blogs & search on Google before taking almost any purchase decision. Of course, my tastes are not yours and imagine how big the variety could be when you deal with dozens, hundreds & thousands of people who are coming through your funnel.

If you just use text, you will simply miss out on people who want to watch videos, and listen to the audio. When I say text, I want to point towards a certain distinction. There is a special breed of people who love to download something…
