#156: How to Convert Customers Stuck On ...

POWERED BY STORYBRAND
About this episode

Everyone procrastinates. It’s a thing. These days, people have more and more tasks to accomplish, while the days seem to get shorter and shorter—so putting things off is a natural end result. But delayed action often leads to inaction. And when your customers keep delaying the decision to purchase your product—sometimes indefinitely—it costs you money. So what can we do to light a fire under the leads who are dragging their feet?

 

In this episode of Marketing Made Simple, J.J. and April are chatting with special guest Josh Cantrell, a StoryBrand Certified Guide and a B2B marketing pro. Josh answers the question: “What is one thing you’ve learned that has changed the way you do marketing?“ He reveals the importance of creating a sense of urgency in marketing, how to make your customers more responsive, and the direct response strategies that can do just that. Listen in and discover how to inspire procrastinating customers to finally take action!
