I THOUGHT John Lawson III WOULD MAKE $20,000+ ON LAUNCH DAY FOR HIS AI IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM LAST WEEK...
-
The offer for his AI Implementation program was amazing...
-
SUPER high value...
-
The free bonuses were so valuable and well thought through...
-
The Buyer's Room had close to 200 people in it, excited to hear about the offer...
-
All signs on each day of the campaign seemed to be saying that this was going to be a phenomenal launch, and then...
-
EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG FOR JOHN ON LAUNCH DAY DID GO WRONG...
-
On launch day, John decided to send all the reminder emails for his Special Offer Announcement from an automation tool called Kartra...
-
This is not how he'd sent each of the 5 days of campaign story emails leading up to launch day...
-
The from email on that account was different, the sender was different, and for some people (myself included)...
-
All of John's pre and post announcement emails for his special offer that day went right into spam - STRIKE 1...
-
But wait, there's more...
-
John decided to try a new payment checkout page he liked, but that he'd never tested before...
-
For the record, I told John that I wouldn't tell you that I EXPRESSLY told him in no uncertain terms that I STRONGLY recommend he not do this, because too many things can go wrong and you don't get a do over...
-
So I won't mention that to you... (*poking fun*)
-
Well, you guessed it...
-
That checkout software DID NOT WORK when John dropped the link after his special offer announcement that day!
-
When you're selling an AI Implementation training, yes it's a blow to the customer confidence meter when YOUR checkout page doesn't work - STRIKE 2...
-
John had to go into hustle mode and head back to Kartra (which has its own issues) and get a checkout page published as quickly as possible...
-
And try to get that NEW purchase page link to everyone, presumably by email...
-
The same email that was going into people's spam? Yep - that same email - STRIKE 3...
-
This new page was missing much of the specificity and detail of the original checkout page that John had so carefully crafted inside the structure and focus of the 5-Day ATM program...
-
The context, narrative and offer framing is such a huge part of the purchase decision, and the checkout page matters...
-
But with his back against the wall, he now had to just get a page up and out there for people to buy...
-
Did I mention that this new checkout page was missing ALL THE UPSELLS that we'd crafted so meticulously to seamlessly increase the average order value for each purchaser? - STRIKE 4...
-
WAIT...EVERYTHING WENT WRONG, AND JUST STILL MADE ALMOST $6K IN ONE DAY...
-
So before we go boohooing too bad for John...
-
The reality is that with warts and all on all aspects of his launch day...
-
This campaign architecture leading up to it was such a well-oiled machine that 11 people ignored ALL OF THAT and said...
-
Yeah I don't care, I'm still in!
-
John didn't spend a single dollar on ads, and didn't spend a single dollar on additional marketing expense...
-
He almost 4x'd the $1497 investment he made in purchasing the 5-Day ATM group training...
-
And he now has a HIGH PERFORMING, story-based campaign that can be run internally on autopilot, once automated, to be delivered to NEW prospects as they join his email list.
-
All in all, not the $20K+ we saw possible on this launch, but close to $6K in hand for a few days work doesn't hurt...
-
Congrats John!!!
