For Marketers

Turn clear copy into copy that converts.

The offer is good, the page is clear, and conversion is still flat.

Clarity is not persuasion. A visitor who understands your offer perfectly can still fail to act, because acting requires certainty that copy alone does not supply. You will learn where that certainty comes from, and where to place it on the page, from the research behind Influence.

Dr. Robert Cialdini, founder of the Cialdini Institute

Where Conversion Leaks

Where the page loses them

Most campaigns spend everything on the message and nothing on the moment before it. The research covers both.

01

Attention, before the message

What a reader is thinking about in the second before your message arrives changes how they read it. Pre-Suasion is the study of that second, and it is the one most campaigns spend nothing on.

02

The gap between understood and acted on

Visitors who follow your argument perfectly still fail to convert, because understanding is not certainty. Social Proof, Scarcity and Commitment supply the certainty, and they work best placed at the point of hesitation.

03

Why they believe you and not the next tab

In a category where everyone claims the same things, claims stop counting. Authority and Liking are what a reader weighs instead, and both can be earned honestly.

The POP Workshop is two days of hands-on work at round tables. Participants work through each principle together and practice it on situations from their own work.
