No epic pre-launch sequence, no complicated bonuses, no special products that had to be created from scratch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s what Tera had to say:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMy pain point in this business is the email sequences because it\u2019s something I\u2019ve never done. So having the Growth University sequence walk me through what to say in a concise way has changed everything. Growth University sequences are a game changer.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The only question for Tera now is how she\u2019s going to top this campaign\u2019s performance next year.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Do After You Offer Your Course for 50% Off<\/h2>\n<p>50% off is a great deal. It\u2019s perfect for BFCM. But it\u2019s not something you necessarily want to do every single year.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, it can make it harder to sell your course at its full price throughout the rest of the year.<\/p>\n<p>So what can you do instead? 2 things:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Increase your course price<\/li>\n<li>Decrease the discount<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>For example, Connection Codes\u2019 marriage course is currently $497. That makes the 50% off price $248.50.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say they increase the price to $697. At that price, they could decrease the discount to something like 30% and still provide customers with an impressive discount for occasions like BFCM.<\/p>\n<p>But the key is to position the savings correctly.<\/p>\n<p>For example, which subject line is likely to entice you more?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Subject Line A: Get 30% off our flagship marriage course!<\/li>\n<li>Subject Line B: Save $200 on our flagship marriage course!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The percentage off might not look quite as sexy any more\u2026but the dollar figure on the savings sure does.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Want me to find the growth opportunities in your course or coaching business?
