What's up? I'm Liz Wilcox, the fresh princess of email marketing. And I am really excited for episode 55 of the email Soundbooth podcast, which you're listening to right now, which I feel so lucky you're here with me. Thank you. I'm going to share with you the three reasons I believe my offer sells so well. Now you might think, oh, this episode is really self serving. But I'm constantly getting asked like Liz, how the heck does your stuff sell? Like even Yesterday's episode, episode 54, My Black Friday Gold, you know, I shared, oh, I want to make $250,000 in the month of November. How the heck does someone do that? Especially when the offer is $108. Like that's a lot of freaking sales, right? So why, how does it sell so well? So here's a quick episode. Okay, number one, the price we just mentioned, hella cheap, right? The annual pass, 108 bucks you get inside my membership where I send weekly templates once a month, Q&As, et cetera, et cetera, on top of all my other products for free. That's like over $2,000 worth of stuff. Wouldn't it make more senseless to do upsells to that product? So like your average customer has a higher, you know, what's that? I forget the name of the metric, but it's like your customer is worth a thousand dollars over lifetime, lifetime customer value or whatever. But it's, I love this price and honestly the price is what makes it sell so well. I'm sorry to all the high ticket coaches out there. And yes, I totally agree, like high ticket, you don't have to sell as many. But I actually love sales and I actually love helping as many people as possible and the price really attracts my ideal customer. I love working with beginners or people who are beginning to try email marketing. Right? That kind of, you know, first few years of business or first few years of getting into email marketing and the price, you know, I'm going to say this, it's going to sound some type of way, but I don't really care. I'm on one today. The price is unbeatable. You can't match my price as an email marketer. Don't even try. In fact, like I know there is one lady out there that has a basically buy all my stuff for one low price on an annual subscription. Her product came before mine, but when I, when I launched mine, hers was retired. I had never even heard of her, but she's brought it back And I will say she raised her price this year, and that is her right. And that's totally fine. Nothing. I love that she raised her prices because. Because she's bringing in more support. She's bringing in this and that. You know, the price of business has gone up. But I do not raise my prices because I know that is part of my selling tactic and strategy. I know it is the number one reason why my offers get a lot of attention. Like, holy crap, how can she offer it for that low price? And I'm a bit of a contrarian, honestly. I love, um, I love keeping it super cheap. Honestly, it's cheap. I'll say the word cheap. My annual pass, $108. You get over $2,000 worth of products. I'm sorry, that's stupid. That's a stupid price. But I love it. I love having stupid prices. I love being the Walmart of digital marketing. Walmart helps a lot of people. And last I heard, Walmart was, you know, one of the largest, most profitable companies the world. So there you go. So the price, it is unbeatable. I know that is one of the reasons my offer sells so much is the price tag. Okay, second. Well, the second reason was at first, the offer was novel, right? There was not many people doing what I do, everything for one low price list. Really. Like, I remember there's a lady, Lizzie Goddard. When I first launched my annual pass, she put in her Facebook group, Liz Wilcox wins Black Friday. And I was like, heck, yeah, I did, sister. Thank you for recognizing real recognize real, right? So at first it was novel, but now it's not novel. It's been around a while. Like I said, that other lady has brought back her same offer. Even people like Pat Flynn are doing things like this. I think Pat Flynn's offer is called the All Access Pass. Mine's the annual pass. And really, you know, I stole the idea from, like, Costco and Disney. Like, Disney has an annual pass. That's what I stole the name from. But now that this annual pass is three years old, it has a reputation. And so that's something I feel like a lot of new business owners, like, forget about when they're trying to launch something. And maybe the first few times it doesn't work so well or it worked and then it stopped working. How can you, as the business owner, build the reputation of the offer itself? Number one, mine, I do it through price, right? And I do it. I back up the price with a crazy customer service experience. I love my people so freaking much. Like, I'M recording this on a Sunday. You know, I knew people needed help with email so I'm doing a daily podcast. You know, I'm in my inbox still to this day. I reply personally. The other day somebody sent me something and said their health wasn't doing so well and they were, you know, frustrated with their list growth but their health isn't doing so well. And y'all same. My health has been insane the last few years. I have, you know, over 50 food allergies. I'm in a constant state of itch. Like I'm just, I'm just an itchy chick nowadays. I'm constantly scratching myself. It's honestly miserable. But I, you know, I do what I can when I can for my people. And so the point of that is I could relate to this person. So I sent him a personal video back. Like it wasn't like, oh my God, same text. Like I sent him like a five minute video saying, oh well, this is what I focus on because my health is so all consuming. And you know, he wrote me back and now I feel like we're friends. And that's what I teach. Follower, friend, customer, right? So anyway, I have this reputation for giving a shit, you know, for not just charging low price. Anyone can charge low prices. You know, you go, I mentioned Walmart, right? You go into Walmart nowadays, like there's barely cashiers, you know, it's not the most fun experience. But with my price, I back it up with, give a damn. I back it up with a great reputation. And after years and years of launching this, of maintaining that customer service reputation again, this is why it sells. And as a business owner, you've got to think about your reputation a lot. And a lot is said for someone who's willing to promote, promote, promote, often willing to put the offer out there again and again so that it builds its reputation anyway. The last thing is, and it'll seem obvious once I say it, the last reason why my offer sells so well. And this isn't something you can teach, it's not a strategy, it's not a tactic. It just is what it is. I am in love with my annual pass. I love my annual pass so much. I think it's a ridiculous offer. It makes me so happy to give a ridiculous offer to people who struggle with email marketing where usually I feel like people are get gatekeeped from email because, you know, it is so lucrative. And so, you know, I don't see anything wrong with charging high prices for something that is super lucrative, right? I just saw someone, well, one of my fellow email marketers, like, it costs $2,000 just to get into their stuff. Another person, it costs almost $600 just to get on the phone with them for 45 minutes. And there's nothing wrong with that because you are going to see return. But again, I just am in love with helping people who don't have that kind of money. I am in love with saying, like, yep, 108 bucks. You know, no. Are you going to, you know, get a million and one things, like, you know, for that price tag? No, but you are going to get more than $108 out of your experience and purchase. And I know I can deliver on that. I know I can help you build those bricks so that one day you can afford those email marketers that charge a lot more and can dig into your business one on one with you. Now, again, I'm in love with this thing. I don't have nerves around selling it anymore. Of course, I'm still a human. I've mentioned in previous episodes this week, like, oh, I'm nervous. I don't know if I'm going to hit my goals. I'm nervous in that way. But if we were having a conversation, if it was just you and me, even if we were in person, I wouldn't have no problem looking at your business and saying, yep, you need to buy this. It's $108. Let's freaking go. You're going to get X, Y and Z. I'm going to help you grow your list. I'm going to help you start a daily or, I'm sorry, a weekly newsletter habit. And I'm going to help you learn how to sprinkle in sales so you actually monetize. I would have absolutely no problem. No nerves around selling this. Why? Because I'm in love with it. I am unashamedly sharing this offer. I want everyone to see the magic that is the annual pass. Think about Walt Disney. Everyone thought Walt Disney was insane when he was creating Walt Disneyland or Disneyland. Right? You know, the opening day was terrible. They didn't have water, but they were selling Coca Cola. You know, the press had a field day with that. People were coming in with fake tickets. You know, it was just a disaster. But Disney loved this idea and he worked diligently and he unashamedly shared the vision with people. And that's what I do with my annual pass, because I am in love with it. So, again, three reasons I believe my offer sells so well. Number one, the price is unbeatable. Number two, at first it was a novel, but now it has a reputation for itself. And number three, I am in love with this offer. I could talk about it all day long. All right, that was episode 55. Hopefully that helped you. If you are not in the annual pass yet, let me unashamedly tell you to join. I would love to have you again. I'm going to help you grow your list in the next year. I'm going to help you create that weekly newsletter habit. And I'm going to help you learn how to make sales from your email list. 365 days of support of resources of community. $108. How can you not? Baby, that's going to be in the show. Notes for you to get signed up. Sale ends tomorrow, 11:59pM Pacific. All right. I can't wait to have you inside the annual pass.
Podcast Summary: Episode 55 – "3 Reasons My Offer Sells So Well"
Podcast Information:
In Episode 55 of The Email Sound Booth with Liz Wilcox, host Liz Wilcox delves into the factors contributing to the remarkable success of her email marketing offer. Addressing skepticism about the episode's self-focused topic, Liz emphasizes that her insights stem from frequent inquiries about her effective sales strategies. Drawing from her recent achievement of generating $250,000 in November through a $108 annual pass offer, Liz outlines three pivotal reasons behind the high sales performance of her offer.
Timestamp: [00:01 – 06:15]
Liz attributes the primary success of her offer to its exceptionally low price point. Priced at $108, her annual pass grants access to a membership that includes weekly templates, monthly Q&As, and additional products valued at over $2,000. She explains that this generous pricing not only makes the offer accessible but also maximizes customer acquisition:
"The price just mentioned, $108, is hella cheap... that's over $2,000 worth of stuff. Wouldn't it make more sense to do upsells to that product?" ([02:30])
Liz contrasts her pricing strategy with high-ticket coaches, expressing her preference for helping as many individuals as possible rather than relying on fewer, more expensive sales:
"I love sales and I love helping as many people as possible, and the price really attracts my ideal customer." ([04:50])
She proudly brands her pricing as unbeatable, likening her approach to being the "Walmart of digital marketing." This strategy not only attracts her target audience—particularly beginners in email marketing—but also fosters a broad and loyal customer base.
Timestamp: [06:16 – 15:45]
Initially, Liz’s annual pass was a novel concept in the email marketing space, setting her apart from competitors. She recalls receiving accolades from peers, such as Lizzie Goddard’s Facebook group remarking, "Liz Wilcox wins Black Friday," which validated her unique approach ([07:10]).
However, as the offer matured over three years, Liz notes that the market saw the emergence of similar offerings, like Pat Flynn’s "All Access Pass." Despite the competition, she maintains a competitive edge by:
Maintaining Low Prices: While competitors raised their prices to reflect added support and higher production costs, Liz chose to keep her price steady, reinforcing the attractiveness of her offer.
Exceptional Customer Service: Liz emphasizes personal engagement with her customers, sharing heartfelt interactions that build trust and loyalty. For instance, she recounts responding to a customer’s personal struggles with a five-minute video message, fostering a deeper connection:
"I sent him a personal video back... I feel like we're friends." ([12:20])
This dedication to customer care complements her low pricing, enhancing her offer’s reputation beyond mere affordability. Liz underscores the importance of building and maintaining a strong reputation through consistent value delivery and authentic customer interactions.
Timestamp: [15:46 – 25:30]
The third reason Liz’s offer excels is her profound passion for it. Her enthusiasm is palpable as she discusses her annual pass, describing it as a "ridiculous offer" that brings her immense joy to provide affordable email marketing assistance.
Liz contrasts her approach with other email marketers who charge exorbitant fees—some charging up to $2,000 for entry or substantial prices for individual consultations. Her commitment to affordability stems from a genuine desire to make email marketing accessible:
"I am in love with saying, like, yep, $108 bucks... you are going to get more than $108 out of your experience and purchase." ([20:45])
This heartfelt dedication translates into confident and unapologetic promotion of her offer. Liz draws a parallel to Walt Disney's relentless pursuit of his vision, emphasizing the importance of unwavering belief in one’s product:
"I am unashamedly sharing this offer. I want everyone to see the magic that is the annual pass." ([24:10])
Her passion eliminates sales anxiety, enabling her to market her annual pass with conviction and authenticity. This emotional investment not only fuels her marketing efforts but also inspires trust and excitement among her audience.
In summary, Liz Wilcox identifies three core reasons for the outstanding sales performance of her $108 annual pass:
Liz concludes the episode with a heartfelt invitation for listeners to join her annual pass community, highlighting the comprehensive support, resources, and community engagement they will receive for just $108. She reinforces her commitment to helping members grow their email lists, establish consistent newsletter habits, and monetize their efforts effectively.
"If you are not in the annual pass yet, let me unashamedly tell you to join. I would love to have you... $108. How can you not?" ([25:10])
This episode serves as both an insightful breakdown of successful offer creation and a compelling testament to the power of strategic pricing, reputation building, and passionate promotion in driving business success.
