Offers Strategy Guide

What Is a No-Brainer Offer?

A "no-brainer" offer has high perceived value AND high likelihood of attainment, where the thought of transaction is little to nothing.

Key Principles

Every ad promotes some type of offer: demo requests, product tours, free trials, e-books, checklists, blog posts, educational videos, webinars, conferences, physical products, calculators, assessments, community, etc.
The best offer varies based on the stage you're focusing on
Just because you're offering something for FREE doesn't mean you don't have to SELL it
Marketers DRAMATICALLY overestimate the perceived value of their offers and underestimate the reality of prospects

Two Ways to Communicate Value

1. Be Clear

Answer these questions: Who is this for? What is the one big takeaway? What is required on my part? (time/effort)

Bad Example: "Learn about the world of private equity from the most trusted names in finance. Sign up for the next cohort today."

Good Example: "Startup founders learn how to raise, negotiate, and manage private equity in the next 6-weeks for just 1-hour a day."

2. Be Compelling

Humans are motivated by pain or desire. Get people excited when they read your CTA.

Bad Example: "Break into private equity with the Private Equity Certificate from (School)"

Good Example: "Join X certified startup founders who successfully raised $X+ in private equity after graduating from (School)"

4. Revive (Restart lost opportunities)

Incentivized demo requests

5. Expand (Drive revenue from customers)

Additional product offerings

When Crafting New Offers from Scratch

Get clear on who it's for / not for
