Haveve you ever come across a lengthy sales page that requires you to scroll endlessly to reach the actual product?
You may have wondered why the page is so long, and whether anyone reads it.
The truth is, these sales pages can be effective, even if they seem overwhelming at first glance.
You might be thinking, "But do I really have to create a long sales page?
It seems tedious and unappealing." I understand your sentiment, as I felt the same way initially.
However, I had an epiphany that changed my perspective.
Consider a face-to-face sales conversation.
It typically goes something like this: you offer a product or service,
the customer expresses doubts, you address those doubts with evidence, and eventually make an offer.
The conversation is like a choreographed dance between you and the customer.
Now, imagine if you cut that conversation short and dismissed your potential customer's doubts.
You'd lose many sales.
The same principle applies to online sales. Your sales page is like a conversation between you and your customer.
If you create a short sales page that only showcases your product and its price, it's like saying,
"Buy it if you want, and if not, go away." You're not setting the stage, addressing skepticism, providing proof,
or answering questions.
Therefore, longer sales pages exist to address these concerns.
They are not a sign that the seller is trying too hard.
Instead, a longer sales page demonstrates that the seller cares about their customers and wants to answer all of their questions.
Let's revisit the example sales conversation and break it down.
You start with a core promise, the customer expresses skepticism, and you prove your promise.
When they express more doubts, you provide undeniable proof, and when they're ready to buy, you make an offer.
This natural order of a sales conversation can be translated onto a sales page.
By doing so, you can create a sales page that works.
