A Value Ladder lets you upsell a high-ticket item from a lower-priced offer.
Hello Reader,
If you pitch a premium offer to a group of strangers, your closing rate will be low. Customers who already know, like, and trust you are easier to convince, because they only need to take one step up your Value Ladder.
Have you ever been offered a free sample in a grocery store? Maybe it was a bite of a bagel, or guacamole, or a little sausage on a toothpick. Something small. Something new, and interesting. Something free.
After taking a bite, were you asked to become a shareholder in that company? Were you asked to become a distributor, and turn your garage into a warehouse full of their product? Were you asked to take out your phone and tell your friends and family about it?
Probably not. At most, you were offered the chance to put something new into your shopping cart. This is the power of free samples — they lead to a small purchase, and not a big one.
Free samples can quickly gain you little sales, but they rarely get you big sales. That’s why you need a Value Ladder.
Organize all of your offers into a series of lists:
- High-priced
- Mid-priced
- Low-priced
- Tripwire
- Free-Private
- Free-Public
Instead of selling the top of your Value Ladder to strangers, sell one step above to everyone on each step.
This 5-minute video describes why this works:
You can use my Value Ladder Workbook to list out all the different offers you have, and see how they stack up against each other.

“Modern work demands knowledge transfer: the ability to apply knowledge to new situations and different domains.” - David Epstein Hello Reader, In his book Range, author David Epstein makes the case that shallow and wide generalists have become more powerful than narrow, deep specialists. Having access to a wide variety of different bodies of knowledge gives the generalist the ability to make unexpected connections between vastly different ideas. In a study of Nobel Laureates, researchers...
🤖 “There will be two types of companies in the future: those who are leading with AI, and those who are irrelevant.” - Jeetu Patel, Cisco Hello Reader, There’s a growing difference between people who use AI and people who think with it. That’s the difference between overwhelm and opportunity. Between playing catch-up and setting the pace. The AI F.A.S.T. Class Series is built to bridge that gap. It’s not another theory-heavy course about “the future of work.” It’s a practical, hands-on...
🤖 “Artificial intelligence is not a substitute for human intelligence; it is a tool to amplify human creativity and ingenuity.” - Fei-Fei Li Hello Reader, One of the questions I've been getting about the AI F.A.S.T. Class Series is - what is the workshop like? Are we listening to you talk, or are we getting hands-on, and actually doing something? If you want to see a sample of my teaching style, watch this 1-hour recording of a recent interactive workshop I taught in New Zealand. Prompt Like...
