Here’s Your Formula For Call To Action Video

1. “That was pretty cool wasn’t it”2. Here’s what I got3. Here’s how it will benefit you (so that)4. Here’s what I want you to do next

Here’s What I Got

• This is the thing that you do well, your unique selling proposition

• Examples: Fast closings, individual websites for their home for sale, credit challenged OK because you know of a great credit repair company, list of homes for sale for “pennies on the dollar”, etc…

Here’s How It Will Benefit YouHow will they benefit from your USP?Fast closings: So that you can move on and not have the worries of

“is this going to be ok”

Homes for sale for pennies on the dollar: So that we make sure you are getting the best home for a great price so that you will have a lower monthly payment, then take that saved money to take an extra vacation every year.

Individual Websites for their listing: So that you will have more people from all over the world seeing your home, including a virtual tour, so that people that ask to visit your home are already pre-sold, thus less “tire kickers”, all resulting in better offers, more of them, and a faster sale, so that you can move on.

Here’s What I Want You To Do Next

• Tell them exactly what to do next:– Call that number– Click that button– Forward this to your friends, family and co-

workers– Shoot me an email now– Subscribe, Share, & Forward
