The Great Big Promise

Lead with one bold, believable promise and prove it.

The great big promise opens with the biggest result your offer can deliver, stated boldly. Everything after it works to make that promise believable: proof, story, mechanism and guarantee.

The promise must be true and specific. Vague promises do not stop anyone.

Do it step by step

  1. State the result, the time frame and who it is for.
  2. Explain the mechanism that makes it possible.
  3. Back it with proof.
  4. Reduce the risk with a guarantee.
