Would a section titled something like "I know this is great but what if" then i would go over customer objections and address each one would placing a section like this near the bottom of my sales page be sometihng that is valuable and would increase conversions? |

Answering objections is a basic part of any selling. I can still remember memorizing the answers to several objections as as a door-to-door salesman. While you are writing the sales letter you are answering objections all the time. Can I trust him? This is too expensive? What if I don't like the product? Is this the answer to my problems? Will it really work as promised? You get the point. When clients hire me I ask to see their FAQ because it gives me a good idea about the objections that people are having with the products. Questions are normally objections. So you may choose to raise the objection as a question, for example, in my sale letter for my services, because they are expensive, I raise the question: "But isn't 5-figures too expensive?", then I go on to handle that objection. I would not recommend using a section of the sales letter for handling objections, but while you are writing the letter always think about the objection the client would have AT THAT POINT IN THE LETTER and then handle it there. That's what I think. And that's what I do. -Ray Edwards |

Ray is spot on, your letter is like a conversion with your prospect... you handle objections as they would normally come up in that conversation.

It's a little subtle, but I actually try to build-up to the objection and elicit it in the the reader's mind - not just assuming "oh, it would come-up here", but instead building a structure of logic that forces it to come up, bring it up, acknowledge that the objection is legitimate, and answer it. If your product has weaknesses admit them readily but try to find a way to reframe them as advantages to the BUYER. ie. "well, we don't use the same hoity-toity cloth our competition uses - which is part of why out trousers are cost less - but really we feel our customers just want some good pants without the ritzy attitude... and price." (my copy here is a bit silly. The Land's End catalog is really good reading for this sort of "why ours is your best value" copy) |

Use the FAQs of a business for the Sales Page. I had never thought of that. We all learn a lot on this forum.
