How To Craft A Godfather Offer (Dramatically Increase Your Sales!) - Sell Like Crazy Masterclass

hey guys sudbury subi here and in today's video i'm going to be talking to you about the single most important element to all of your marketing and that is your offer and more specifically in crafting what i call a godfather offer because you know the biggest mistake that i see businesses face is you know they get their funnels live they do their copy they get their ads live on facebook and google and then they send it out into the market and they get eaten alive or they get a small bit of success but then the

moment that they try to scale things up everything shits the bed and it comes down crashing and burning and that is really because their offer isn't correct you see your offer it is the tip of the spear and it's from where everything else stems from and if you don't get the offer right then you can't get the copyright and you can't get the traffic right because everything is really rested on your ability to convert strangers and then turn them into high paying clients and the way that you do that is by having an offer that

is just so white hot so irresistible that your prospects can't refuse it and only a lunatic would refuse the offer that you're making and the very first step in crafting what i call a godfather offer before you get into like the weeds of what the pricing should be what you should be giving in exchange for that price and all of those things you really need to go and gather what i call the raw materials and the raw materials is basically everything that's going on in your market to find out where the bullseye is okay so

every single market has a bullseye and that is the center of the center of the center of what people really want what really motivates them to pull out their wallet and their credit card and buy emotionally irrationally and in huge huge quantities and the biggest area that i see people falling flat on is that they craft an offer that doesn't hit the bull's eye and you can craft a really really good offer right but if that's on one of the outer rings of the bullseye and it's not dead in the center you're just not going

to get the lift off that you want and everything's going to be higher your cost per lead your cost to acquire a customer and your return on your ad spend so the way that you do that is by first selling what it is that people want and that sounds so simple right and so elementary yet so many people don't do it so the way that you want to do that is by going out there and gathering intel and really just camping out in the minds of your buyers so you can pump your offers up on

steroids and you want to go and really start to put all these raw materials together and the way that we do that is by putting together something that we call a details list and in one column of that list you're going to have all of the features of what it is that you're selling and then in the next column you're going to have all the benefits that correspond with those features and you're going to list them all out and you really want to go through the tiresome effort of making sure that you list out every

single feature and then all of the benefits that are really attributed to those features and these are the simple things these are the building blocks right and you might be like i've done all this before sudbury or like this all sounds elementary just show me like the the shiny chat bottle this ninja funnel stay with me because this is how you get your offers to strike like lightning and once you get these raw materials and all of this stuff in place then everything else almost just does the work for itself the copy is easier to

write the ads just explode when you send them live so just stay with me and go through this whole exercise because it's an incredibly lucrative one now once you've gotten all of those features and all of those benefits from you know your products and services that you're selling now this is where you need to really transition to the next level okay because what most business owners and marketers are they are simply product sellers right they look at their features and benefits and they're like this is what i've got so let me just go and sell

my wares and they craft all of their copy and all of their offers around what it is that they currently have to sell and they stop right there and that is really a failing approach to getting a godfather offer because what you want to do is sell what people want not what it is that you have to sell and what i mean specifically by that is if you go and do the research in your market right and you go to forums you go to facebook groups you read reviews on amazon you look at the one

star reviews you look at the five star reviews with what people are saying are missing from their products what they love about the products you go to reddit forums and you go trawling through all of those reddits and you read everything that those people are saying and then once you find out what it is that really sets your market's soul on fire and really motivates them to buy then you want to look at that and compare it to your features and benefits list and instead of just trying to pigeonhole what you've got and shoehorn it

into your market you want to have a look at adding and creating other products that are completely in line with what it is that your market is starving for right and when you do that your conversion rates from lead to sale will also go up dramatically and what you'll find is that you know you're really crafting an offer that just melts through your market like a hot knife does to butter and it will make everything that you're doing infinitely more profitable so to kind of reiterate like most people are product sellers they go this is

what i've got to sell let me go and sell it they don't go out to the market and go what is the market absolutely starving for now let me create a product or service that delivers and gives them exactly what it is that they're starving for that answers their most burning hair on fire problems that provides an immediate solution to this pressing problem that they're experiencing so that they're a very motivated buyer and that's exactly what it is that we want to sell we don't want to sell just what we've got and stop there we

want to take it up a level by looking at first what that market does and what that market wants and what's keeping them up at night and what do they enjoy about the existing products that are on the market and what don't they like about it and where is that kind of shortfall in between where you can position your offer to just go out there and beat the pants off your competition and this brings us to step two and this is a really crucial part that you really need to check your ego leave it in

the door as a business owner and as a business builder if you want to get the most cut-through you can and you need to do something that i call pivoting to bullseye market hit bmh and you need to pivot your offer until you do hit the absolute bullseye of your market and that's not being like well my product or service doesn't really deliver on that or it can't do that so i'm just going to try to pedal this crap and try and force it down the mouth of my market rather than giving them exactly what

it is that they want so you need to be liquid and fluid you need to be able to change your offer scrap things start from scratch add things on splinter maybe just a part of your service off that really delivers specifically and hits that bull's eye of your market because that bullseye exists and it doesn't matter if you hit it with a rubber mallet or if you hit it with you know a completely pistol point 50 caliber bullet dead in the center you just need to hit that thing and most people don't they're way on

the outside of that bullseye and they're never really striking that center and if you go through the laborious process of crafting an offer that people really really want and that are irresistible to them and it hits that bull's-eye then everything else that you're going to do is going to become much much easier rather than let me just take the easy way out with my offer and then everything else is much more difficult and it never really scales and you never really get the success that you want because understand this a compelling offer is infinitely more

powerful than a convincing argument so you don't want to be in a situation where you are trying to convince people to take the action that you want them to where you're trying to get them convince them to raise their hand in the sea of people as being interested in what it is that you have for sale or in pulling out their credit card and then buying or in booking a time in on your calendar and speaking to you you want to be in a position where your offer is so compelling that it just sucks people

into the jet stream and you become magnetic in your market and people just gravitate towards you because your offer is so compelling when you break down an offer to you know its first principles there's really just two parts to it and the first part is is you know what is it that your market wants and the second thing is what is it that they need to do in order to get it right what are we offering and then what are we asking them to do to get that offer what are we charging what are the

deliverables for them to actually obtain the solution to their burning problem so let's look at the first step right what is it that they want so you need to really think about it by doing the research that i've told you to do and looking in the forums and looking at reviews and looking at youtube comments and reddit and all of those kind of things and really just putting down what is it that your market is absolutely starving for and then what you want to do is you want to reduce it down to writing and you

want to forget about your lawyers you want to forget about all the legal requirements that you need to fulfill in the industry that you operate in no one's going to see this offer right now except for you and you want to reduce it down to writing and you want to turn up the volume on this puppy you want to think about what is a dream come true experience for your prospect like if you had a magic wand and you could just wave it and you could basically grant a wish to your prospect what would that

wish look like what is it that would absolutely crawl over crush class to get to and that's where you want to start you want to start from a place of power and having an offer with balls on it you don't want to start where most people do it's like what can i fulfill on so write it down reduce it to write it and then i want you to turn up the volume and make it even louder and make it even more enticing and more irresistible forget about the delivery component of this just yet we're gonna

get to that once you've got that down and you just think you look at it and it should be like holy like that is a really compelling offer like if i was in the market for this i would have no choice but to take them up on this offer then what you want to do is you want to slowly pull that back and wind it down a little bit wind down the volume on something that you would actually be able to deliver on and that is not going to get you into a whole bunch of

hot water legally or any problems or any implications like that and that is where you start with your offer you're starting with that position of power now the next step is understanding that you know in any exchange with you and your market there is risk present in all transaction there are risks present what most people do is they ask their prospect and their customer to burden all of that risk and they want to sit back there as the marketer or as the business owner and really just relinquish all responsibility and not burden any of that

risk now while that might make you feel comfortable that's going to end up with a lot less money in your merchant account because people aren't just going to buy in the huge quantities that you could be getting if you burdened that risk and you wore all of that and made that offer way more compelling for your prospect because i have a saying right if the offer doesn't keep the founder up at night then it simply isn't strong enough because you need to understand the dynamics that are present in all transactions and you know either you're

gonna burden a much higher customer acquisition cost by not burdening the risk right or you're going to have a much lower customer acquisition cost by you reversing the risk and you burdening that so you know no matter way that you look at it by burdening that risk you are going to win you're going to get more customers your cost per lead your customer acquisition cost is going to go through the floor and all of your marketing endeavors are going to be infinitely more profitable so that is why you want to burden the risk now we're

going to break down the seven parts that make up a godfather offer so the first one is rationale so why is it that we're even offering this ridiculous deal we can't just put a ridiculous deal out there and then not give any of the backstory or any of the rationale about why we are doing this and unless you do that you know what's going to happen is there's going to be this voice in the back of your prospect's head that's just like why why why like why are they making such a ridiculous offer so you

really want to provide context like we're doing this because we've accidentally ordered all this extra inventory it's all in our warehouse and we've got to get it going right or you know if you're getting leads and you're converting those leads into customers is just being very transparent and just being like the reason that we do this is because this is the process that you know prospects go through and they're usually so impressed by this whole thing that they actually asked to become a client but whether or not you become a client is completely fine there's

no pressure for you to buy but this is the reason why we are doing this right so you always need to provide that rationale you can't just make your offer so compelling because it still needs to answer why you're even doing that in the first place now the next thing is to build value around whatever it is that you're doing if you're selling direct and you're trying to get ecommerce transactions then you need to build the value of what it is that you're selling you need to put on what the regular rrp price is you

need to break down all the different parts of that offer and you need to assign a value to that and then show them the deal that they're getting which is just a pittance of what the real value is right now if you're selling a service and you involve getting people on the telephone in order to convert those leads into actual customers then you need to build value around that consultation you can't just do what everyone else does and say get a free 30-minute strategy session i'll get a three a free 30-minute consultation there needs to

be value built up around that you need to have the bullet points of what they're going to get on this call whether or not they choose to buy from you and really build like a value and a price around what that call would cost if someone was just going to consult with you on an hourly rate or at a 30 minute rate and really build up that value even if it's free that's the big thing that people don't understand well this is free you know sudbury i can't build the value yes you definitely can you

need to put a value attached to what it would cost if it wasn't free and the third step is pricing and in pricing really you know the approach that i like to take is really to charge just 10 of the total value of what something is worth so when you're presenting your price it really comes across as an absolute no-brainer and it's also a good way for you to deliver on your promises so you really want to look at okay what is this problem that i'm trying to solve and how big of a problem is

it and how much is it worth to that person to solve that problem and then you want to present your pricing in a way where it just looks ridiculous where it's like of course i would pay that to get to solve this big problem this is just a pittance to this huge burning problem that i'm trying to solve right now you never want to think about like what is the actual like constituent parts what are the raw materials cost of what it is that you're selling and what it is that you're charging but you want

to think of value-based pricing and what is the value that someone gets and how big is the problem that you're trying to solve for that prospect and now the fifth element of a godfather offer is premiums so premiums is just like an added bonus that you give away when somebody takes you up on your offer so say for instance if you're trying to generate strategy sessions get people on the telephone you know a premium that you can offer is when they book in a call they get a free report of the six things that they

need to do to radically scale their facebook ads right or if you're selling juices you might be giving them you know a 21 day detox ebook that comes along with that or whatever it is that they want physical premiums work fantastic whether you're giving away a free book or a booklet or a course or something along those lines adding premiums work like crazy there's a reason that you see all huge advertisers anyone that's advertising with any real force out in the marketplace they'll always have these premiums added to them and it's because it just pulls

up the response rate from all of your advertising try them give them a go and let me know how you go now the sixth element is a power guarantee so it's not just enough to have a ridiculously strong offer right you can't just like you know trivialize the price make it look all like incredible value and then just think that people are going to buy we need to have a guarantee we need to reverse that risk that is present in your marketplace now when i tell this to most people they're like yeah look you know

i'm just not comfortable giving a guarantee like what about the scammers like are they just gonna gain this guarantee and like i'll go broke right that's the first thing that people think well the thing is right everyone whether they like it or not typically has a guarantee and what do i mean by that well by law in most countries you know you have to buy consumer law have like some kind of 12-month guarantee where it's like your product doesn't deliver on what you say in your advertising then you need to basically work with that customer

or provide them a refund so whether you like it or not you know it's mo it's already baked into whatever it is that you're selling right that's one element to it and the second element is that if a customer came to you and they weren't happy what would you do right would you just say like no screw you like you've already paid goodbye or would you work with them and support them and try to get to a place where they are happy and they will speak nicely about you and you will get more customers as

a result of that in the future you know i'm going to guess that you're a reasonable person and you are going to work with them so if it's by law and you would already do it then why not advertise it and just get way more people into your business in seeing your offers in being customers imparting with their hard-earned money and starting that relationship with you because the answer is that you should be right and when you do that you'll notice you'll get a lot more people responding to your offers taking you up because what

you're doing is you're reducing that risk and saying like yo like if this doesn't work for you you know i'm going gonna be more than happy to give your money back if you're feeling very aggressive you can offer a money a double your money back guarantee they work like crazy as well but just look at ways that you can engineer reversing the risk for your prospect and you will win like absolutely crazy and last but not least is the seventh final point and that is scarcity right scarcity it just works right whether you like it

or not no matter what offers that have scarcity they just out pull offers that don't so you need to look at adding scarcity to your authors in a way that sits right with you that is real right not fake scarcity because people find that out that stuff out very very quickly and you really need to have that scarcity baked into your offer because that's the thing that motivates people to take action right it's that fear of loss it's that fear of missing out on this ridiculous offer that you've just made them so good examples of

doing this is again if you're generating leads you're getting strategy sessions you're getting people on the calendar i'll just say that it's just you and the business right and maybe that you've dedicated four hours a day to taking sales calls you can really only take four or five sales calls and then there's no more spots that is a real constraint that is real scarcity right and if you're good at marketing you'll probably be put into a situation where you are booked out for a week two three weeks in advance so that is real scarcity you

know you're booking your call right now because these spots go really quickly and actually i have been fully booked for the last seven days that's real there's scarcity to it and it also prompts people to act now if you're selling a physical good you know there are only x amount left in the warehouse we can only keep doing this price so long because this is an introductory price right again this stuff needs to be real right there needs to be a certain amount of products in your warehouse which i assume that there is right so

just look at ways that you can bake that scarcity in there that gives that person that last kick that they need to actually take you up on your offer so now that we've covered what a godfather is let's talk about what it's not right a godfather offer is not great customer service it's not outstanding quality it's not being innovative or having a great team or being responsive to your customers needs or even having a great reputation right they're just things that we're going to assume that you have in your business but they alone are not

a godfather offer where that's how most people make their offers like you know do business with us we've got the biggest range we've got the best prices or do business with us because we've been in business since 1982. no one gives a about any of that stuff right you've got to make these people compelling offers that get them to act stop resting on those things that are just normal fundamental vanilla things that every business should have in order to be transacting with the marketplace and instead use these seven parts and really craft an offer that

gets people to sit up in their chair and it raises the hairs on the back of their neck and it demands their attention and more importantly it gets them to buy in huge quantities emotionally irrationally and just with a huge surge of activity into your marketplace so if you go ahead and you do those things every single element of your marketing will be infinitely more powerful so there you have it that's how you craft an irresistible godfather offer now if you liked this video this is just one of the phases from my best-selling book sell
