How I Convince Inbound Leads To Pay $2.5K/mo

Edition 57

Everyone talks about marketing strategies. Nobody talks about marketing psychology.

Last week, we landed a $3K client. Not from complex funnels. Not from paid ads. But from understanding one simple psychological trigger.

Let me explain.

I've spent 21 months analysing -

  • 7,000+ high-converting posts

  • 100+ successful sales calls

  • 50+ client acquisition journeys

Here's what I discovered:

There are 5 psychological triggers that drive 90% of purchasing decisions.

And most marketers miss all of them.

Let me break this down:

Trigger 1: The Contrast Principle

We used this on LinkedIn:

  • Posted about a failed $50K campaign

  • Showed our $2K solution

  • Landed 2 clients

Trigger 2: The Expertise Paradox

Counterintuitive but it works:

  • Admit what you don't know

  • Show what you're learning

  • Share your mistakes

Trigger 3: The Value Stack

We tested this in our newsletter:

  • Layer 1: Free valuable content

  • Layer 2: Paid frameworks

  • Layer 3: Premium solutions

Result: 40+ founders and marketers on our community waitlist.

Openly sharing all our frameworks and systems on our newsletter

Trigger 4: The Social Mirror

People don't buy solutions. They buy reflections of themselves.

We use this on our LinkedIn page:

  • Share member wins

  • Spotlight transformations

  • Celebrate small victories

Trigger 5: The Urgency Loop

Not fake scarcity. Real motivation:

  • Show what they're missing

  • Reveal the cost of waiting

  • Present immediate pathway

Our last campaign proved this:

  • 60 spots opened

  • 40 filled in 1 week

  • No aggressive selling

But here's what nobody tells you:

These triggers don't need to work in isolation.
Infact, I have seen them work best in sequence.

Real example from last week:

  • Trigger 1: Shared a client's struggle

  • Trigger 2: Admitted our initial failure

  • Trigger 3: Offered free solution

  • Trigger 4: Showed similar success stories

  • Trigger 5: Opened limited spots

Result? $2.5K client super interested without a sales call.
Might just sign too.

There you go!

I've tested these triggers across:

  • 3 different platforms

  • 15+ industries

The pattern never fails.

Why?

Because psychology doesn't change.

Platforms can. Strategies can.

But human behaviour stays constant.

  • Implementation frameworks

  • Platform-specific examples

  • Conversion sequences

Taking only 60 people through this system this month.

P.S. This email uses all 5 triggers. Can you spot them?

P.P.S. Watch how many people join the waitlist after reading about others joining. That's Trigger 4 in action.
