WSH081 - The Tripwire Business Strategy

October 13, 2016

Where do you start in growing your business? Seeing clients, teaching classes, developing e-books, online courses, webinars, and coaching programs… there are all a phenomenal way to grow and expand your hypnotic business, but how the heck do you sell these things? You could start by developing an all-inclusive course program that teaches everything your customer wants to know, but not many customers will spend a large amount of money on a package from someone they’ve never heard of before.


Instead, a better idea, and one that I use regularly in my own business, is called the “tripwire strategy.” The tripwire concept is a way to funnel your potential customers to your bigger, more expensive package offer through a series of smaller, less expensive packages. Thousands of businesses worldwide utilize the tripwire technique with significant success, and today, I’m going to teach you how you can incorporate this strategy into your own business in order to launch your first class or improve your current sales funnel.


As we think of our businesses differently, all sorts of other opportunities present themselves.
