Profile: Jeff Walker

Jeff Walker is not a salesman. In fact, as a Boy Scout, the only
people he could successfully sell a bag of donuts to were his
parents. Jeff has actually created a highly successful business
despite his fear to do what every good salesman has to do: ask
for money. He developed a new system based on generosity and
relationship development that eventually became his revolutionary
Product Launch Formula.
With $400 of disposable income, Jeff sent out his first e-mail
newsletter giving free information on the stock market to a list of
19 friends and family. His subscriptions grew by word-of-mouth
and then through Jeffs techniques, so that by his first official
product launch, he was able to generate $1,600. Amazed by his
own success, he honed his process and tried again, this time
exponentially increasing his profits to $8,200. He continued this practice and soon was making his
famous Six in Seven, six figure revenues in one week, and eventually up to one million in one hour.
Jeff has gone from releasing a newsletter on stock information to a minute list, to publishing the Product
Launch Formula Blueprint, and Product Launch 2.0 & 2.1+. His strategies have been used in six of the
most successful product launches in the Internet Marketing industry, including, John Reeses Traffic
Secrets, Frank Kerns Mass Control, Jason Potashs Article Announcer, Rich Schefrens Elite Coaching
Club, Brad Fallon and Andy Jenkins StomperNet, and Yanik Silvers Underground Online.
Jeff lives in Denver and Durango, Colorado with his wife and two kids. He is an avid guitar player and
loves outdoor adventures like backpacking and river trips.

Exponential Growth:
How Jeff Went from $400 to Six in Seven
In 1996, Jeff was staying at home taking care of his two children after committing career suicide. He
had left his job as a product analyst at Motorola because he felt like a square peg in a round hole in
the corporate world. When his wife told him that she wanted to be home with the kids, he decided he
needed to go back to school. The only problem was, he had nothing to put on his resume.
Around this time, Jeff had decided he wanted to be a financial trader and was online connecting
with people in the market. He received a spam e-mail selling a product that taught about information
marketing. He printed out the lengthy sales letter, read it through, and decided it was worth $100 of his
$400 annual disposable income. He used the strategies in the product to develop a newsletter to put on
his resume, and sent away his applications for graduate school.

An Interview with Jeff Walker

He was accepted and was on his way to a Masters in Finance in January of 1997. By this time his
newsletter, which had started at 19 friends and family including himself and his wife, had grown to about
1,000 subscribers. Three days before his first semester began, Jeff initiated his first product launch,
generating $1,600 in sales, including a sale all the way in Switzerland. He walked in to his first class days
later, and within 30 minutes of the lecture, walked out and never looked back.
Jeffs second launch generated about $8,200 and his third launch, in the summer of 1998, generated
roughly $34,000 in one week. At the time, it was more than he had ever made in a year. His business
continued to grow and by his fourth launch he made $106,000 in one week, his first six figures in one
week, or Six in Seven. Jeffs business has grown exponentially, and today he has been known to make
up to a million in one hour.

Success Leaves Clues:

The Secret to Modeling
What fundamentally drives Jeff to do what he does is the idea that his material and his strategies can
make a person walk out of their job, like he walked out of that classroom, and create what they are
destined to create. Jeff believes his system builds entrepreneurs, and that ultimately, they are the people
creating change and creating the salvation of this world.
Jeff is able to inspire so many people, by teaching them to model him and his techniques. People have
expertise in the areas you are entering, or already exist in, and have solved all the problems you are
going to encounter. An amazing short cut is to simply tap into that. Success leaves clues. If someone
is successful at anything consistently, they are not lucky. They are doing something differently than other
people. All you have to do is find out what that is and model it.

Anthony Robbins 3 Keys to Modeling

To save time and energy, use role models to accelerate the pace of
your success:
1. Find someone whos already getting the results you want.
2. Find out what that person is doing.
3. Do the same thing, and youll get the same results.

An Interview with Jeff Walker

The New Salesman:

Principles of Truly Giving
If youre like Jeff, a self-proclaimed terrible salesman who feels uncomfortable asking people for money,
thats ok. All you have to do is ease your customers into the sale and make them feel like they are a part
of the development process. Engage your audience by asking their opinion or if they have questions.
Then give them information that answers those questions or addresses those opinions. By continuously
giving your customer great free information or products, you develop a relationship with them AND add
significant value to your product.
By following this process, you become the expert in your field. You know ten percent more than anyone
else, and your clients will keep coming back to you for more information and to fine-tune their ideas.
Pay attention to these ideas. If you are doing your job and giving people information and products that
will help them excel, the ideas they come back to you with will be ideas that you could probably use
yourself. Just because youre the expert doesnt mean you shouldnt fine-tune your own ideas.

ANTHONY ROBBINS / The New Money Masters

The Three Keys to Marketing

in the New Economy
If youre just starting out in business, you need to understand the shifts in marketing trends from the 20th
century. Technology is changing every day and people are adjusting their beliefs about when and from
whom they will buy.
1. Shift in Technology

The speed of communication is much higher and the cost of communication is much lower in
the 21st century. Today we have blogs and social media, like Twitter and You Tube, that create a
conversation between people. Everything is far more transparent.

Twenty years ago if you wanted to send a direct mail campaign with a video, there were many more
challenges than there are today. You had to have the video made, at astronomical prices, pay to mail
it to your clients, and wait for all of this to take place, potentially losing weeks in the process. Today,
you can take your flip camera, record a video, upload to You Tube and send out an e-mail to your list
with a link to go check out the video, all within in minutes.

2. Authenticity

There is no reality in reality TV anymore. If something claims to be perfect, no one trusts it. People are
looking for the raw and the real, because in this new economy, it is a rare commodity.

Example: Jeffs Case Studies

Most of Jeffs marketing is done through case studies and testimonials. If hes at an event and
someone comes up and tells him their success story, hell ask if he can sit down and interview them
on the fly. Most of the time, these situations occur at conferences in hotels and someone in the
background will drop a stack of plates, or hell forget the persons name and curse when he realizes
his mistake, or one time, the lens cap even flipped up and covered part of the video. According to
Jeff, these little accidents are worth millions because they create the kind of authenticity that people
are craving and that you cant make up.
3. Connection

In todays world, everyone is constantly inundated by advertisements. Theyre on Facebook pages,
on airplane flip-down trays, on t-shirts, everywhere. Media is coming at people from every direction.
The number of ad impressions people get every hour is off the charts, and it has doubled in the last
five years. The brains capacity to absorb information has not evolved, leaving people fundamentally
boredand lacking the connections they used to have.

People drive home from work and hit the remote to open their garage door, drive in, hit the remote
again and close the garage door. Theyre not connected to their neighbors; they dont have deep
friendships with meaningful conversations. They are desperately seeking that personal connection.
They are hungry to be engaged.

An Interview with Jeff Walker

Low-Hanging Fruit
If you absolutely had to make a sale, as in you had to buy a medicine that costs a million dollars to save
your childs life and you needed that million dollars today and you had something that was worth a million
dollars, all you had to do was make that one sale, what would be your strategy to make that sale?
You need to build a list, engage that list, figure out what they want, and give it to them.
You would find someone that needed what you had and pitch to them, as opposed to blindly selling to
anyone. You would make that pitch face-to-face because you can read how well your message is coming
across and you can be more authentic. If you can engage someone and get feedback from them,
but can do it 10,000, 100,000, even a million at a time, that is the secret to the product launch.

Three Business Examples

1. Mazda Service Shop
Buy an inexpensive, easy-to-use camera (Jeff likes the Flip Mino) and make a video:

Hey I just wanted to check in, this is Jeff over at your local Mazda shop, and I know a lot of people
are getting hurt by the current economic times. A lot of people will put off, you know, the basic
maintenance of your vehicle because maybe you are thinking times are tight youve got to save
some money somehow, but I just wanted to check in and let you know that we are still here and tell
you that really one of the best investments you can make right now is keeping your car in tune so
you dont end up with that huge bill. So I just thought I would put this video together, I am putting
together a few more of these videos in the coming weeks with some of the basic maintenance you
can do, stuff that will cost you nothing at all that will be completely free, you dont even have to come
in and see me I just thought I would let you know. Hope to see you soon.
The person on the receiving end will think, This is just a regular guy, he understands me. Youre
adding value, and telling the truth, which everyone already knows (if you dont tune up your car
youre going to end up with a much bigger bill) and youre still giving your customer a couple of
things that cost them nothing that might even prevent them from going there.

2. Farming Co-op
In Southwest Colorado, a group of people is creating a farming co-op, bringing the community
together, and growing a local food movement. There are a lot of people in the country that dont live
in a place where they can grow their own food, but would be touched by this story.

Just like in the Mazda Service Shop, you go buy a flip camera and film the cool stuff youre doing:
chopping down trees and using them to build a farm, running a portable sawmill, etc. Create a You
Tube channel, and even without a list, you will start to generate a list from your followers.

3. Lobster Fisherman
There is a company in Maine where fisherman are going out and catching lobsters. Anyone in the
world can rent a lobster trap and for X amount of dollars a year that is your trap. The fishermen will
put it down and whatever comes up is yours. They film it and can send you the videos to your home
in Seattle. You can be a lobster fisherman anywhere!

ANTHONY ROBBINS / The New Money Masters

The Product Launch Formula

Before you begin this process, you need to figure out what you are after, where you are at and what your
assets are. Once you have that figured out, you can begin this process with no money at all.
1. Shot Across the Bow: Taking the Pre-Launch Steps
is to visit a site like www.wordpress.com and within five minutes you can be publishing information if
you can figure out how to get a user name and password. Start publishing this blog on a daily basis
for 30-60 days and you will start to pull in traffic from the search engines. If you use key words in your
articles, you will pull in more targeted traffic.

Use that traffic to build an e-mail list. Encourage your visitors to leave comments on your blog, so that
you start to create a conversation with the blog comments. If you add an e-mail capture feature to
your blog, you will also start adding to your e-mail list. At that point you say to your viewers, Ive been
hearing from a lot of you that you would like to see more, maybe a video? Maybe a book? Would
you be interested in something like that? Do you have any questions that I could answer for you?
Ask them to take a simple survey, which you can put together in minutes using free survey software.
Send that survey to the list youve created and youve started the conversation. People are so hungry
for attention, that in the simple act of asking them to take a survey about what they want, you are
building a relationship.

2. The Power of Momentum

Once you get their surveys and answers back, you can actually start to build your launch. Momentum
is a key thing, you either have it and youre growing, or you dont and youre dying. The launch gives
momentum; it builds tension, and with every little piece of the process, you create a cliffhanger.

Its like diagramming novels in high school: you have one axis with Tension and one with Time. As
the novel goes on, the tension grows until you finally reach the last chapter and you find out who did
it and the tension reaches its peak and then it falls off at the last page when the book ends. First you
decide to do the launch and let your audience know, building tension, and then you give them some
information, which initially eases the tension, but ultimately grows it more as they want to find out
more information. They want to know how this is going to impact them and change their lives so you
solve their problems.

Time

When they make the shift from thinking what youre offering doesnt affect them, to realizing it
might help them, even a little, you build on that by giving more content, answering more objections.
This builds reciprocity and authority. You become the expert by knowing more about the persons
problems than they do and giving away great free information or products to help them.

Finally you get to the point where you introduce your product as something that can help your client
sustain the results long term.

ANTHONY ROBBINS / The New Money Masters

3. The Pressure Stack

Give your launch a date to create a different level of tension and energy. As you start to reveal
information about your product and as you approach the launch date, you want to create a fever
pitch of excitement. Do this by adding even more value.

The last five days of your 30-day process, start to focus on the product. Give an idea of what the
price is so that your customers can start to weigh out costs and benefits. Create value by tipping
their scales, so that in their minds what they get is a lot more than what theyre paying for. Three
days before the launch, add more information. Two days before the launch, add more information.
And on the final day, add even more information. Your customers already think you have a great deal,
and all of a sudden youre adding more. Youre creating the accumulative effect.

PAYING
WHAT THEY
GET

An Interview with Jeff Walker

Example: Adding the Extra Touches

Jeff recently visited a Native American restaurant and had a very pleasant experience, not
because of any particular event, but because of the accumulation of all the little touches that were
presented throughout the night. Each menu had a hand painted landscape. Each prepared dish
had a story behind it that was told to the guests as they ordered. When Jeff went to pick up his
car at the valet, he received a handwritten note addressed to him personally, along with some
chocolates and bottled water.

Although the water and chocolates were very inexpensive, and the note took a very short amount of
time to write, they made such a lasting impression on Jeff. Often these extra touches are inexpensive
and take little effort, but they go a long way for you business.

Another way to grow tension and keep momentum is to bring stacking to another
level: stack launches. Just make sure you dont put out more than four stacks a
year. You need to keep your customers hungry.

4. Creating Deadlines
There are different ways to create deadlines, and not all work for every business. They key is to
recognize at least one way that works for you because deadlines make people act. Deadlines create
a must situation for people and only in this state, will people take action.
(1) Scarcity
Make the product available for only a certain amount of time. Explain that you only have a certain
amount of this product and once its sold out, its gone.

(2) Limited Price

Make an offer. The offer is only available for a certain period and sincerely, that is it.
(3) Bonuses
Bonuses are another example of stacking. If you buy now, you will also receive this other piece of
added value.
(4) How to Re-work Deadlines
Launches are often pushed off, sometimes for a few days, sometimes a few weeks. Avoid timing
your launch to external events (for example, the Inauguration Launch), because those are hard
to re-schedule. The key thing to remember is keep your customers informed. Explain that there
are still a lot of questions out there and that once you roll out the program, theres going to be a
lot of follow-up. Let them know that you still have free content to give them. You want to make an
impact before you even start.
12

ANTHONY ROBBINS / The New Money Masters

5. 34-Minutes-To-Go E-mail
On launch day, write a final e-mail to your list, from the heart. Its not a sales pitch, its instructions on
how to access your product. You want them to really understand everything theyre getting out of
this. Tell them not to worry, it wont sell out within the first couple of hours, and to take their time with
the letter. In saying that it wont sell out, you create intense pressure because youre producing the
inevitable question: will it?
6. The Walker W
Youve created a list, shot the bow, pressure stacked, used your momentum to add more value, sent
out your last minute e-mail and now your product has launched. The next step is to understand how
to manage your launch. Lets say you do a week long launch. (Note: Jeff prefers to do launches in
1-3 days because this avoids the beg-a-thon messaging for a whole week, but instead prefers to
always be selling from a position of strength. For the purpose of this example, we are going to do a
week long launch.) Build up the initial launch so that everyone is on-board for the first day.

A few hours after your launch, send the Social Proof e-mail, engendering that everything is going
haywire. Let your clients know that there is a lot of traffic going on, ask them to be patient, explain
that customer service is doing their best, everyones questions will be answered and we are going
to get through this. By adding the were all in this together idea, people stay on-board.

The next day write another e-mail, letting them know that things have settled down, the site is now
accessible, 98 percent of people are being taken care of. And in case you havent jumped on-board
yet, here is the link.

On the third and fourth day, drop additional content or bonuses. Finishing with a reminder e-mail of
their impending deadline.

Typically, in a week long launch, 25 percent of the sales will come in the first hour, 50 percent in the first
24 hours. The second, third and fourth days slow down with a spike in the middle when you offer more
information or products. The last day youll see sales nearly as big as the first 24 hours because people
are motivated by the deadline.

A lot of these techniques are plug and play, not all of it has to happen
every time and you can add different pieces with each launch. Its an
art, not a science, and with every industry and every company, there is a
different formula. The good news is that you could screw up 80% of these
strategies and still hit a home run compared to what youre doing now.
Once youre able to build a reputation through your launches you will
have immense power going forward: You wont have to put in the same
amount of effort because you already have the urgency built up and the
customers hungry for more.

14

ANTHONY ROBBINS / The New Money Masters

Create Your Product Launch:

The Sideways Sales Letter
You know the long form sales letter; youve seen it before. You go to a website, and all of a sudden the
scroll bar starts to get smaller and smaller and smaller. No one reads that stuff because your BS meter
goes off on red alert as soon as that page loads. You scroll all the way to the bottom, check out the
price and then maybe read the first one or two paragraphs to see if its worth it. These sales letters
are ineffective.
In the Product Launch Formula, you take that sales letter and turn it sideways. If its a 30 page sales
letter, its now a 30-day process. Instead of pages, you have days. You are going to give your clients a
30-day process where you educate them and share good solid content.
So whats in these sales letters? Typically, they start with a headline, then below that they have
subheads, which often go into a story, and as you work down you get into bullet points, until you get all
the way down and reach the actual explanation of the offer and the price.
Turn that sideways.

Headline

Day 1

story

bullet points

offer

Day 15

LAUNch

Day 30

Headline: Start your process off with a headline as the first piece of pre-launch content, something that
will grab peoples attention and interest them.
Story: A few days later, start to tell your story. Release a video, audio or PDF report.
Bullet Points: Get the customer a little deeper into the story by creating a conversation. Tell them I am
considering doing this product, I am curious how this would affect your life, do you have an interest in
this area, what kind of questions do you have? People will start to give feedback and now you know
what theyre looking for and what their objections are. The secret to sales is answering objections.
Offer: Start to talk about the product a little, reveal the price.
Walk through this process for 30 days and engage people, get them excited. Add value and offer
information early on. You will create a relationship with your clients and ultimately have them desperate
to buy.

Your Action Plan

Tony Robbins ends his programs by having you take immediate action on what youve learned.
Remember, the first step to lasting momentum is taking massive and specific action in the moment.
Take a minute now to think about Jeffs strategies and how they can apply to your own business or life.
Answer the following questions:
1. What two distinctions have you now made as a result of what youve learned? How will
these principles change your life and/or business for the better?

2. What are two actions (one big, one small) you can take right now? What will you immediately

8 Ways to Make Your Next Product
Launch a Crazy Success

Every time you launch a new product, you have the

chance to drastically increase your profits. In order
to get the most money out of every product launch,
you need to generate major interest among your
potential customers.
Here are eight crucial steps to making your product
launch a success.
1. Turn Your Product Launch Into an Event
Your prospects have millions of different marketing
messages competing for their attention all day
long. You can break through that marketing fog
and get tons of eyeballs looking in your direction.
Heres three easy ways to do that:
A. Use anticipation. Let people know your
product is coming long before its available.
Theres a reason that you see movie trailers
many months before the movie is released.
B. Be sure to encourage interaction in your
launchcomments on your blog, comments
on your video, people sending in videos (or
posting them on You Tube)...excitement
breeds excitement. When people see that
others are excited, they get excited as well. And
dont be afraid to show that youre excited.
C. Get Joint Venture partners involved. This way
your prospects will often be hearing about
your launch from multiple sources. (Ill have
more on Joint Ventures down below.)

An Interview with Jeff Walker

2. Sequential Touches

Dont ever count on one touch to make the

sale. (A touch is a single e-mail, video, audio or
special report. Use sequences to tell the story of
your product launch. This keeps peoples interest
up and gets them salivating to buy your product
before the actual launch Heres three ways to
build out your launch sequence:
A. Survey your prospects before the product is
finished. In fact, a survey works really well as
the initial shot across the bow to hint that
something is coming.
B. Make a video. Its easy to create and publish
online, and its the single greatest selling
medium of all time. Most people would
rather watch a video than read a long email
or blog post.
C. Answer objections. Making a sale always
comes down to overcoming objections. If
you can overcome your prospects objections,
then youll make the sale.

In a launch, you can identify those objections

as part of the launch process (blogs are great
for addressing this). Then you have the time
to answer those objections before the launch.
You can do this in your videos, blog posts,
or e-mails. And the best part is that you can
often do this before the prospect realizes
they are being sold to.

19

3. Mixing Your Media

Be sure to use different media to get peoples
attention. That means using your e-newsletter,
your blog, online videos, and audio messages.
The more ways you can talk to your potential
customers, the more chances you have to get
them to want your new product. Here are three
key things to remember when mixing your media:
A. Never assume that people have seen or read
or watched all your pre-launch content. That
means that you have to provide some back
story in each piece you publish.

This is similar to the way that serial TV shows

will have a mini-recap at the beginning of
each show. You dont need to be quite so
elaborate, but at a minimum provide links to
previously published launch material.

Your pre-launch is a great time to create Social

Proof. Heres two ways to create instant and supercredible Social Proof:
A. Get lots and lots of people commenting about
your product on your blog. Your prospects
can see that there are other people that are
excited and want to buy your product. That
will make them more inclined to buy your
product as well.

So how do you go about doing this? One

easy way is to create a contest where you give
out a prize to someone who puts the best
comment on your blog. You can even give
the winner a copy of your product. This will
drive the comments (and the Social Proof )
through the roof.

B. Keep your video as short as possible. Its

much easier to keep a video interesting if its
5 minutes long than if its 20 minutes long.

B. Another way to use Social Proof is with

testimonials and Case Studies about your
product or service (a Case Study isnt much
more than a long testimonial with details on
how the person used the product).

For example, when Jeff recently began the prelaunch for his new Product Launch Formula
2 course, he published a very powerful Video
Case Study of a man (John Gallagher) who
literally went from food stamps to having
a six-figure business. This was an extensive
Case Study that included a full interview
with John.

At the end of the Case Study he invited his

readers to comment on the Case Study on
my blog. Within a couple of days he had
over 300 raving comments from people who
watched the Case Study.

And when you use video, worry as much

about the sound as you do the picture.

C. If youre going to publish lengthy text, think

about publishing it as a PDF report. People
value PDFs more highly than copy on web
page or in an email. And theyre much more
willing to read long copy when its in a PDF.
4. Use Social Proof
Social Proof is a mental trigger that you can use to
make people want to buy from you Basically, when
people see other people doing something, they
will tend to do it as well. Thats Social Proof.
If you can show that other people like your
product, and that they are buying your product
(or they plan to buy your product), then you will
have an easier time convincing other people to
buy your product.

20

ANTHONY ROBBINS / The New Money Masters

like you wouldnt believe. Get ready for a

rush of orders right before the deadline. And
dont forget to send a last minute notice 24
hours before the deadline, and again about
six hours before the deadline.

5. Use Scarcity

Scarcity is another mental trigger that makes

people buy. This sounds simple, but its incredibly
powerfulwhen there is less of something,
people want it more.

Your Product Launch gives you a unique time to

use scarcity. Heres three ways to create big-time
scarcity in your launch:
A. Limit the number of products available:
We only have five Mustang convertibles
total, and four are already rented outdo
you want me to see if I can reserve that last
one for you? You can see how that could get
people excited. Do the same thing in your
launch. NOTE: Limiting the quantity can
also limit your sales, but you can always relaunch your product and often youll end up
making more money in the long run if you
do it this way.
B. Offer a special launch price offer. In other
words, the price is discounted during the
launch and if people dont act now, the price
will be higher when they buy it after the
launch. In essence, you can pay me now or
pay me later, but if you wait it will cost you
more.
C. Offer special bonuses during the launch. Its
great to use information products or additional
training, because they are often easy to create
and inexpensive to manufacture. People will
jump onboard during the launch just so they
dont miss out on the extra bonuses.
D. BONUS STRATEGY: Combine the different
types of scarcity to multiply the effectiveness
(i.e. if people dont buy during the launch, the
price goes up AND they miss out on the extra
bonuses).

ONE MORE THING: Whatever you do, be

sure to warn people ahead of your deadline.
Your prospects will respond to these deadlines

6. Use Joint Venture Partners To Turbocharge

Your Launch
All these launch strategies get a lot more powerful
when you get Joint Venture partners on board.
Basically this is how a Joint Venture works:
A. You find someone with a related business.
B. They promote your launch to their prospects
and clients.
C. When the people they refer to you buy your
product, you pay them a commission.

This is a VERY powerful strategy. Basically,

you are shortcutting the process of going out
and finding prospects and going directly to
the source.

When you get other people promoting your

launch on a Joint Venture basis then you multiply
the effectiveness off your launch.
There are two major steps to working with Joint
Venture partners:
Step One:
Identify your Joint Venture partners:
A. Go to Google and search for your primary
keyword. Create a list of the top 20 search
results. Do this for both the natural search
results on the left side and for the paid
search results on the right side. Create this
list in a spreadsheet so you can
keep track of them all.
B. Visit each site. Look around the site to see
if they are collecting email addresses. If they
are, that means they have a list.
21

C. Join their list and to see what they are

publishing (and what theyre promoting).

Sometimes people will hesitate to send multiple

e-mails during their launch. Dont do this.

D. Identify the best matches for your product,

and start to contact them. The best way to
contact them is via phone, next best if FedEx,
next best is first class mail. Worst is email.

If you are going to have a successful launch, then

you need to mail... and keep on mailing.

When you contact them, remember that the

most important thing to concentrate on is
whats in it for them.

Step Two:
Working with your Joint Venture partners:
A. Once you have your Joint Venture partners
on board you need to give your partners a
reason to email their lists when you are still
in pre-launch. Do this by creating some type
of content for them to mail to their list. The
content should be high quality, and it should
lead them back to your site so that they can
join your pre-launch list (this list is often
called a priority notification list).
B. Communicate with your partners throughout
the launch. Let them know whats coming
and why they should continue to send you
traffic. Keep giving them reasons to mail
multiple times. The easiest way to give them
lots of reasons to mail is by creating several
different pieces of pre-launch content,
released at different times.
7. Dont Be Afraid To Mail

The launch and your pre-launch sequence will

give you lots of reasons to keep mailing your
prospects. This goes back to having lots of touches.

This is great, because it gives you lots of opportunity

to influence your prospects. And since you are
contacting them with great information before
you try to sell them, it is easier to be a welcome
guest instead of an unwanted pest.

22

Each e-mail is a touch and you want to keep

touching your prospects. But you also want to
have a reason for each touch; dont just e-mail
them for the sake of e-mailing. No one wants
to get an e-mail telling them to watch out for
another e-mail in a day or two.
For example, long before the product launch
send an e-mail to survey people about what they
want to see in the product. This is a great way to
figure out exactly what you want to include in
your product.
After the survey you can e-mail your list to thank
them for their response and tell them about what
you learned. By doing this you start to create
some buy-in and ownership of the process
among your list. Its almost like youre turning
them into your partners.
You can follow that e-mail up with one or more
e-mails that answer some of the questions that
were raised in the survey process. Take one
question per e-mail, and answer it thoroughly.
What you are doing is answering objections,
which is CRITICAL if youre going to make a
sale. None of these messages are hype-filled sales
messages; you are either asking for or giving solid
information in each message.
As you get closer to the launch, your e-mail
frequency should increase. Start to talk more
specifically about the product, about your offer,
and about what to expect when you finally launch
your product.
Part of why launches are so effective is that
you have lots and lots of reasons to touch your
prospects. Now this might sound like a lot
of work, but it really isnt hard to do at all, especially
when you consider the enormous payoff.

8. Perfect Your Product Launch

The single best thing about your product launch
is that its just your FIRST launch.
You can take what youve learned and do it over
and over again and each time will get bigger and
bigger. Soon enough youll be thinking about
your own six-figure launch, and eventually a
seven-figure launch.
So good luck... and go get em.
