If one door is closing, another one may be opened — the backdoor method for selling

You probably know by now that most of the sales are done at the follow-up, sometimes after an offer being seen for 7 to 14 times and it is understandable as today we are bombarded with 700 sales messages in average, every day.

Also, people don’t usually buy what they need, they are buying just what they want. So you know what your market needs but to be able to sell that, sell first what they want. Or even better offer (what they need) for free if they purchase what they want — both coming from you. This is called the backdoor method for selling.

I sell a mastermind for high achievers entrepreneurs. It is not easy to sell that because I need to pitch me a lot, show why my mastermind is much better and do a lot of positioning. The solution? I sell first a complex training and coaching solution and as a limited offer, I allow free access to the mastermind. The training and coaching product is excellent and changes people’s lives and businesses so the mastermind is just the cherish from the cake.

The training and coaching product is something my audience really, really wants and I know that they also need the mastermind so I am providing both while being able to add so much value to them.
