Growth Hack #3 – A 3-Step Plan for Effective Selling:
The most effective reciprocity is indirect, not overt (salesy). Turn this fact into action with the following, 3-step plan:
1. Give: Provide an incentive to potential customers with the following phrases: “Free offer”, “free service”, “surprisingly good”, “no strings attached”.
2. WAIT. Disassociate Give step from Ask step. Doing so makes the whole process feel less like a sale and more genuine.
3. Ask.Now that you’ve waited, you can make your request with the following phrases: “Sign up”, “purchase”, “refer your friends”.
