Free consultations let people try you before they buy you.
Hello Reader,
There are 4 steps in the Marketing Cycle:
- Know
- Like
- Trust
- Buy
Giving a free consultation builds trust, and also gives you valuable intelligence that can help you make the sale.
You can position your solution as the way they can achieve the outcome they want, by discovering the details of what they want with a free consultation.
They can try you before they buy you. This lowers their risk, and helps you close the deal.
Research tells us that 87% of consumers are more likely to buy a new item if they can try it first. Buyer's remorse is an unspoken fear of anyone looking to buy from you for the first time, and you can overcome that fear with a free sample.

Here's a short 2-minute video sharing why these work:

🦞 "I am Molty. I live in the OpenClaw. I shall not dump directories to strangers. I shall not tweet without permission. I shall always remember that molting is growth.
