The Science of Getting People to Buy With Copywriting

For more than 17 years, I’ve helped non-profits and businesses get real results from their websites:

  • California Academy of Sciences: Reduced cart abandonment by redesigning the interface and simplifying copy, resulting in a 57% increase in successful checkouts.
  • Bishop O’Dowd High School: Optimized website to engage visitors’ primal brains, leading to a 290% rise in admissions over 4 years and maximum class size.
  • Allied Construction Services: Rewrote the homepage, generating a $1.1M commercial roofing job within two days.

These aren’t random successes. They come from a systematic process that uncovers what customers truly want and positions your solution as the obvious choice.

My 4-Step System for Boosting Your Results

1. Discover What Your Customers Actually Buy

When prospects visit your website or engage with your marketing, they’re often looking for specific outcomes—solutions to their problems or ways to fulfill their desires. To understand these buying triggers, I focus on gathering insights from real customer data:

  • Analyzing Customer Reviews: Look for recurring themes in what customers praise or criticize about your product or service.

  • Reviewing Sales Calls: Identify the key moments or objections that lead to conversions or lost opportunities.

  • Interviewing Your Best Customers: Ask them directly what motivated their purchase and what almost stopped them.

Result: Copy and messaging that align with what your ideal customers are already looking for, based on real feedback and behavior.

 

2. Identify Your Unique Advantage

What sets successful companies apart isn’t always the product itself—it’s how they communicate their unique value. To uncover what makes your business stand out, I focus on:

  • Understanding Your Solution’s Mechanism: Clearly articulate how your product or service works and why it’s effective.

  • Highlighting Your Proprietary Approach: If you have a unique process, methodology, or feature, emphasize it.

  • Combining Benefits: Showcase the specific combination of benefits that only you provide, based on what your customers value most.

Result: Positioning that clearly differentiates you from competitors, making your solution the obvious choice for your target audience.

 

3. Create an Offer That’s Really Hard to Refuse

A compelling offer is often the difference between a prospect converting or walking away. To craft an offer that resonates, I focus on:

  • Matching the Core Value Proposition to Customer Desires: Ensure your offer directly addresses the outcomes your customers want.

  • Including Proof Elements: Use testimonials, case studies, or data to build trust and reduce skepticism.

  • Reducing Risk: Offer guarantees, free trials, or other risk-reversal strategies to make saying “yes” feel safe.

  • Creating Urgency: Use time-limited incentives or scarcity to encourage immediate action, but only if it’s genuine and ethical.

Result: Offers that are designed to maximize conversions, increase average order values, and encourage repeat business, based on real customer motivations.

 

4. Deliver the Right Message at the Right Time

Different prospects are at different stages of awareness, and your messaging should reflect that. To ensure your message resonates, I focus on:

  • Segmenting Your Audience: Group prospects based on their level of awareness (e.g., unaware of their problem, comparing solutions).

  • Tailoring Messaging: Use headlines, frameworks, and content that align with each stage of the buyer’s journey.

  • Addressing Objections: Anticipate and answer common concerns before they become barriers to conversion.

  • Guiding the Next Step: Make the final action (e.g., purchase, sign-up) feel like a natural and logical next step.

Result: More prospects entering your funnel and moving through each stage effectively, thanks to messaging that meets them where they are.

 

Continuous Improvement for Growing Results

Markets and customer preferences evolve, so what works today might not work tomorrow. To ensure sustained growth, I focus on:

  • Testing and Optimization: Use A/B testing to identify which elements of your strategy are most effective.

  • Iterating Based on Data: Make data-driven adjustments to improve performance over time.

  • Staying Adaptable: Monitor market trends and customer feedback to stay ahead of changes.

Result: A system for sustainable growth that evolves with your market and delivers consistent results.
