IMPROVE YOUR OFFER
Define your sales goals and set your price. Be clear on what you want to achieve and how much you want to make per client. Plan your steps and determine how you are going to achieve your goal. For example, if you want to attract and work with one 6-figure client per month, come up with a strategy to ensure that happens. Convince the customer you are worth the money.
Consider your product or service and answer the most important question; is it worth the asking price? If so, look for effective techniques to ensure the client sees it that way. If it’s not, improve it.
Make sure your offer is worth the money you are asking for to make it easy for prospects to engage in business with you. Look for effective ways to improve your product or service and get more conversions.
Review your current offer and determine what you can improve. If you are in the manufacturing business, research similar products in the market and make yours better. If you offer certain services, identify businesses that offer similar services and determine how you can bring additional value to clients through your offer.
Understand what potential customers value and need. View quality from their perspective to create something they’ll hardly say no to. Create attractive offers that bring additional value to customers’ lives. Identify a challenging problem and provide the perfect solution to ensure sales.
Get your sales reps involved in the entire process. Encourage them to ask questions and find out what prospects want. Ask about recent challenges and a few things that can help make their lives easier where work is concerned. For example, figure out how you can help clients simplify difficult tasks, increase productivity, and meet their professional goals.
The goal is to create an offer that’s worth the price, ensure leads see the value you bring, and get them interested in purchasing.
Next, focus on your current sales strategy. How do you sell your product? What methods are you using and how effective are they? If you are not seeing the desired results, change your strategy. Come up with effective ways to attract your ideal customer and retain them.
Keep up with recent product changes and updates to make your offers more attractive. Identify new product features available in the market as well as certain areas that the competition has improved on and make sure your product or service has similar features.
PROVIDE SOCIAL PROOF
Provide social proof to show prospects you are a safe bet and convince them to invest in high-ticket. Share customer success stories to accelerate buying decisions and make it easy for leads to trust your offer.
Ask happy clients to leave reviews on your website and social media pages. Ask them to talk about their experience with your product and how it helped them meet certain challenges or solve specific problems.
Get video testimonials whenever you can to pique interest and boost engagement. Add the testimonials on your business blog and other relevant pages.
Use the reviews and ratings on your marketing materials such as online ads to attract attention and reach a bigger audience.

Ask customers who switched to a higher plan to talk about their experience and share with your audience. They can send a quick email message or record a 2-minute video testimonial.

Client reviews and ratings make it easy for prospects to trust your offer. They are key to attracting the right audience, converting leads into buyers, and getting customers to part with their money despite how much you are asking for.
Knowing someone has used your product and benefited from it dismisses doubts, influences buying decisions, and convinces prospects that your product is the right fit for them.
WRITE SALES LETTERS THAT CONVERT
Write persuasive sales letters that capture attention and convince customers to invest in your offer. A sales letter shows prospects that your offer is precisely what they need and gives them a reason to purchase your product. It guides them through the buyer’s journey and determines whether or not they fall in love with your offer. So, invest in the process and make the most of it.
Use a catchy headline to raise interest and capture attention. Use persuasive language and mention what the potential customer will benefit from your product or service. For instance, if you own an online marketing agency and want to attract high-paying customers or get existing clients to upgrade to a higher plan, use “Increase traffic to your site and double your sales this quarter with our premium plan” as your headline.
Make sure you mention what clients will benefit from your offer on the headline to arouse interest and get them to read on.
Use simple, clear language and make it easy for readers to understand your message. Use an informal and friendly tone. Use short paragraphs, short sentences, and bullet lists where applicable.
Include visuals such as high-quality images and infographics to retain attention and arouse interest.
Create a sense of urgency and keep the reader thinking “I can’t miss out on this. I have to act now.”
Add a call to action to inspire action and guide the reader to relevant pages.
Know what the client needs and address those needs with the information you provide. Put yourself in your customer’s shoes to write an effective sales letter and ensure you share the kind of information that the client wants. Explain how your product helps with ABC and why it’s the right fit for them.
Make sure your product does precisely what you say it does. Deliver on your promises and meet expectations to maintain your reputation and build lasting relations.
Share relevant stats or data. Mention three people or companies who have benefitted from your services. Talk about one thing you provide that the competition isn’t to capture attention and convert. You can also mention how long you’ve been in business to prove expertise and show your experience level.
UPSELL EXISTING CLIENTS
Your existing customers are your best bet to landing high-ticket sales because they already know and love your product or service. They are satisfied with your brand and know you always deliver on your promises. They value your business relations and appreciate the value you bring into their lives.
Therefore, you don’t have to spend most of your time trying to convince them of the quality of your offer. You have already formed meaningful relations and cultivated trust. You understand them and have learned to provide the best customer experience. So, upsell to them.
Identify customers that need extra services or value and create your offer. Identify their long-term goals and mention how upgrading to a premium plan is going to help them reach set goals. Highlight the additional value that’s tied to your offer and make them see the importance of the upgrade. Show them what they can accomplish and how far they can go with it.
Understand their needs and objectives and explain how an upgrade helps them meet their goals faster and effectively.
Understand their buying history to make an offer they can’t refuse. Focus on what they purchase the most and look for ways to improve the offer.
Show your customers the benefits of upgrading and give them a reason to do so. Mention quality, ease of use, flexibility, timeliness, and so on.
Explain why you believe an upgrade is a great idea for their overall success. Share in-depth information to make the client see that you are genuinely interested in taking their business to the next level. Show that you are not just interested in making more money but in helping the customer reach set goals and provide value for their money.
Provide detailed pricing information and make sure the client understands why your offer is priced the way it is. Provide a complete breakdown of your proposal to ensure they don’t feel cheated or taken advantage of. Include all the relevant details such as timing and associated costs. For instance, if you offer freelancing services and you get a big project or your client requires additional services, justify your high rates. Talk about your hourly rates and how long it will take to complete different phases of the project. Mention how much you charge per phase and why. Talk about the quality of service, on-time or faster delivery of work, and so on.
If you can make clients see the value of your offer and justify your high prices you will phase out low-ticket items, focus on high-ticket ones, and achieve business success.
