Urgency

A time limit that gives people a reason to act now instead of later.

Urgency is about time: a deadline, a closing cart, a price that rises on a date. Without a reason to act now, most people put the decision off, and later usually becomes never.

Fear makes people act today. Use it honestly and only with a real deadline.

Do it step by step

  1. Set a clear deadline with a date and time.
  2. Explain what changes after the deadline.
  3. Remind people as the deadline approaches.
  4. Keep your word when it passes.
