<p>========================================</p>
<p>An Analysis of A Winning Sales Letter</p>
<p>By Yanik Silver<br />
<a title="How To Create Powerful, Money-Making Sales Letters For Your Business in Just 2 ½ Minutes…Without Writing!" href="http://www.instantsalesletters.org" target="_blank">Instant Sales Letters</a></p>
<p>========================================</p>
<p>Many people say they can spot a good letter when they see<br />
it, but the problem is when it comes down to writing one,<br />
they simply freeze up. That&#8217;s why I want to take you behind<br />
the scenes of a successful sales letter I wrote and<br />
illustrate the thinking that goes into writing a killer<br />
letter that generated a healthy 3810% ROI. This letter sold<br />
all of the clients overstock merchandise and they even<br />
created a waiting list.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll find my comments in the side notes below so let&#8217;s<br />
get started&#8230;</p>
<p>****</p>
<p>Can You Get A New $8,000 Power Table For $417?</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;Side Note Comments&#8212;&#8212;<br />
First off, the headline is a grabber and makes people want<br />
to read more. Anyone interested in your product at a<br />
bargain price would certainly continue reading.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;End Comments&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Read The Amazing Facts To Find Out How&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;Side Note Comments&#8212;&#8212;<br />
Next, the subhead tells prospects that the answer is right<br />
inside this letter if they keep reading.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;End Comments&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Dear Friend,</p>
<p>Yes, it&#8217;s absolutely true. You can really replace your old,<br />
worn-out exam table and only pay $417 out of your pocket<br />
(But only if you are one of the first 2 people to respond<br />
to this letter.)</p>
<p>Let me explain.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;Side Note Comments&#8212;&#8212;<br />
Your first sentence is absolutely critical to your letter.<br />
If your first sentence doesn&#8217;t make people want to keep<br />
reading, you can expect your letter to end up in the<br />
circular file. So make sure it keeps their interest piqued<br />
and follow up on the headline promise in the first<br />
sentence.</p>
<p>In the first sentence I reiterate the fact that yes they<br />
really can get a brand new power table for such a low<br />
price. The second sentence I throw in a little scarcity<br />
right at the beginning of the letter so they won&#8217;t just<br />
toss this letter aside for further reading.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;End Comments&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Last April, our little company took a big gamble and signed<br />
up for a power table promotion. In order to get on the<br />
promotion we had to agree to take 3 power tables - nearly<br />
$15,000. (And for a small company like us, that&#8217;s a lot of<br />
money to be tied up in inventory).</p>
<p>Only one of those 3 tables were sold - so there are still 2<br />
left.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;Side Note Comments&#8212;&#8212;<br />
The next paragraph I begin to explain the story of why<br />
we&#8217;re selling this product at such a bargain price. I&#8217;ve<br />
discovered that telling people the truth and giving a<br />
reason why is actually one of the most powerful<br />
psychological motivators to action.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;End Comments&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>And My Problem Is Your Opportunity</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;Side Note Comments&#8212;&#8212;<br />
This subhead turns the letter back around to what&#8217;s in it<br />
for the reader. Everyone is always silently asking<br />
themselves &#8220;So what?&#8221; and &#8220;Who cares?&#8221;. You&#8217;ve got to keep<br />
the focus on what the reader will gain from the letter.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;End Comments&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>In order to move these last 2 tables I&#8217;ve decided to do<br />
something somewhat bold and a little daring.</p>
<p>First, you should know that the manufacturer&#8217;s promotion of<br />
these power tables ends June 30th. And any unsold inventory<br />
I have could be sold to another dealer at wholesale.</p>
<p>But instead of doing that, I would rather sell you the<br />
table at a wholesale price and gain your goodwill.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;Side Note Comments&#8212;&#8212;<br />
Here I explain how and why I&#8217;m willing to make a<br />
sensational deal.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;End Comments&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>The regular price for a XXX power table is $8,000 but<br />
during this promotion they were on sale for $5,375 (which<br />
is a pretty good deal anyway).</p>
<p>But until July 15th (I&#8217;ve extended the offer 2 weeks), you<br />
can buy one of our last 2 tables for just $4,897. That&#8217;s a<br />
savings of over $3,100.00</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;Side Note Comments&#8212;&#8212;<br />
I introduce the special offer and the reason why we&#8217;re<br />
selling the product at such a discount. That&#8217;s a key point,<br />
because unless you give people a believable reason for the<br />
reduced price they won&#8217;t believe you. Nobody thinks you&#8217;re<br />
lowering the price because you&#8217;re &#8220;such a nice guy&#8221; so let<br />
them in on the reason behind your offer.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;End Comments&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>What? I promised you could get a power table for only $417<br />
and here&#8217;s how&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;Side Note Comments&#8212;&#8212;<br />
I answer an anticipated objection here since I promised<br />
they could get the table for only $417.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;End Comments&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s How To Get That New Power Table For Almost &#8220;Zip&#8221; By<br />
buying a power table, you can qualify for a 50% tax credit<br />
under section 44 of the Americans with Disabilities Act.<br />
That&#8217;s right Fifty Percent! All because a power table will<br />
glide up and down to accommodate disabled and handicapped<br />
patients.</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s what else. You can also take the amount of the<br />
power table and deduct it off your taxes using Section 179.<br />
(That is if you haven&#8217;t spent over $18,000 on capital<br />
equipment this year.)</p>
<p>That&#8217;s not all, here are a few more incentives for you: We<br />
will give you a $150 trade-in for your old table (or you<br />
can donate it to charity for another tax break). And add an<br />
extra 2-year warranty ($1,000 value), plus, we&#8217;ll pick-up<br />
your old table and deliver the new one all for free!</p>
<p>Pretty good, right? Wait, I have even better news for<br />
you&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;Side Note Comments&#8212;&#8212;<br />
Here I&#8217;ve explained each of the incentives and how they can<br />
really get the table for such a low cost. Plus added in a<br />
few extra bonuses and now I&#8217;ll another bonus to really<br />
increase their desire.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;End Comments&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>You Can Pay In 3 Easy Installments With Zero Interest We&#8217;ll<br />
break up your payments into 3 easy installments, spread<br />
thirty days apart.</p>
<p>Why You Must Act Before July 15th First, I doubt if these<br />
tables will still be around until July 15th because the<br />
first 2 doctors that put their deposits down will take<br />
them. And when they&#8217;re gone this offer expires.</p>
<p>But even if they are still here (highly unlikely at this<br />
bargain price) this offer has to expire anyway because we<br />
will be shipping out these tables to other dealers in the<br />
area.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;Side Note Comments&#8212;&#8212;<br />
I bring back the deadline here and scarcity again. So not<br />
only do they have a limit on the number of units available,<br />
but there is also a time deadline. This is a double whammy<br />
to get people to take action immediately.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;End Comments&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s What You Should Do Now</p>
<p>Pick up your phone and dial xxx-xxxx and reserve one of<br />
these last 2 tables with your credit card. Or in case,<br />
you&#8217;re still undecided call us and ask for some more<br />
information to be faxed to you.</p>
<p>Otherwise, you&#8217;ll be giving up the ease and convenience of<br />
having a power table at this bargain price. I really hope<br />
you&#8217;re one of the 2 lucky doctors who decide to take<br />
advantage of this golden opportunity.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;Side Note Comments&#8212;&#8212;<br />
In this closing paragraph I give readers a little pain by<br />
mentioning what they&#8217;ll be missing if they don&#8217;t act on<br />
this offer.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;End Comments&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
XXXX</p>
<p>P.S. Hurry! This letter is being sent to 1,283 local<br />
doctors and this offer is strictly limited to the first 2<br />
people who respond.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;Side Note Comments&#8212;&#8212;<br />
The P.S. is your last place to help prospects make a buying<br />
decision. People go from the headline in a letter to the<br />
signature to the P.S., so your P.S. should be powerful.</p>
<p>Here I introduce even more scarcity. I let them know<br />
exactly how many people (specifics sell) are receiving this<br />
letter and it makes the limited quantity seem even more<br />
limited since so many other people are getting this same<br />
announcement.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;End Comments&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>****</p>
<p>I guarantee by using the same elements, I just illustrated,<br />
you&#8217;ll see your next sales letter produce incredible<br />
results.</p>

<p>=======================================</p>
<p>Sales Letter Secrets From The Man Who<br />
Sold Coal By The Train Carload</p>
<p>By Yanik Silver<br />
<a title="Yanik Silver Home - Creator of Instant Sales Letters'" href="http://www.surefiremarketing.com/go/jeff" target="_blank">www.SureFireMarketing.com</a><br />
=======================================</p>
<p>If you were to ask any of the top <a title="* NEW! * “Yanik Silver Reveals Every Single Trick, Tactic, Formula, Shortcut, Strategy and Jealously-Guarded Secret He Uses to (At Least) Double Any Ad or Sales Letter" href="http://ultimatecopywritingworkshop.com/?52864" target="_blank">copywriting</a> pros who<br />
they&#8217;ve learned from - one name is sure to be repeated over<br />
and over again &#8212; Robert Collier.</p>
<p>In the 1930s, Robert Collier was able to sell just about<br />
everything from train carloads of coal to men&#8217;s clothing<br />
simply by using the power of his pen. And right now I&#8217;m<br />
going to share with you 2 of the most powerful letter<br />
concepts he repeatedly used to sell millions!</p>
<p>One of Collier&#8217;s most successful <a title="How To Create Powerful, Money-Making Sales Letters For Your Business in Just 2 ½ Minutes…Without Writing!" href="http://www.instantsalesletters.org" target="_blank">sales letters</a> was his &#8220;will you<br />
do me a favor?&#8221; letter. It was based on a story he read<br />
about how a manager of a company asked a competing business<br />
for a favor, which started a relationship that blossomed<br />
into the two companies joining together.</p>
<p>Collier thought this same idea might work in print&#8230;and<br />
boy did it ever!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how he used this concept to sell 20,000 raincoats at<br />
a time (and over a dozen other products). This letter is<br />
really universal in its application, so study it carefully:</p>
<p>* * *<br />
Dear Customer,<br />
Will you do me a favor?</p>
<p>For twelve years now, you know, we have been selling the<br />
famous &#8220;Keepdry&#8221; Coat direct to the consumer, at a savings<br />
of many dollars from the usual retail price.</p>
<p>This year I want to vary our line a bit, so I have changed<br />
the fabric to one that looks like a smart topcoat &#8212; but<br />
will still shed rain. And instead of the usual double-<br />
breasted raincoat model, I&#8217;m using a single-breasted<br />
topcoat model that appeals to men because it has style, and<br />
yet retains that loose, comfortable look of the well-<br />
tailored light overcoat.</p>
<p>I believe that anyone who ever gets out in stormy or wet<br />
weather will like this &#8220;Any Weather&#8221; Coat better than any<br />
raincoat or topcoat he can buy, but you know how it is in<br />
merchandising &#8212; you can never be sure of such things until<br />
after you have sunk a lot of money in them.</p>
<p>Which brings me to the favor:</p>
<p>I want to make sure of the demand &#8212; or lack of demand &#8211;<br />
before we sink too much money in this new coat. So I&#8217;ve<br />
come to you as a customer of the house:</p>
<p>Will you try out one of these new &#8220;Any Weather&#8221; Topcoats<br />
for me for a week &#8212; WEAR IT &#8212; see how it feels, how it<br />
looks, how it compares with topcoats you have bought at $25<br />
or $30? Above all, how it keeps out wind and rain? And then<br />
write me?</p>
<p>&#8212;sidebar&#8212;<br />
Letter goes on to explain features and benefits of the new<br />
coat with a special introductory price for customers only.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>Naturally, I am not making offers like this to everyone, so<br />
whether you accept it or not, I should feel obliged if you<br />
would return the card so as to insure against its falling<br />
into other hands.</p>
<p>Naturally, too, your opinion will be of value to me only if<br />
I get it NOW &#8212; before the Fall season has really opened &#8211;<br />
before we are definitely committed for any great quantity<br />
of these new all-weather coats.</p>
<p>Won&#8217;t you, therefore, fill in the three simple measurements<br />
on the card TONIGHT if you can, and mail it? On second<br />
thought, better mail it right away &#8212; while you have it in<br />
your hand &#8212; so there will be no chance of forgetting it.</p>
<p>* * *</p>
<p>You should notice the subtle psychology used here. People<br />
love giving opinions and helping, so by asking, you make<br />
people feel important.</p>
<p>Boardroom reports, one of the top direct marketing<br />
companies in the country, (the people who write Bottom Line<br />
Business, Bottom Line Personal, and Bottom Line Health) are<br />
using this technique for two different offers (which means<br />
it&#8217;s working very well). Here&#8217;s the opening to a recent<br />
letter I received:</p>
<p>* * *</p>
<p>Our records show that you&#8217;re one of our best customers, and<br />
that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m writing.</p>
<p>Frankly, I need you help.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m asking you to take part in a little marketing trial<br />
I&#8217;ve put together. Our company has a lot riding on the<br />
outcome, so I&#8217;m really hoping you&#8217;ll participate.</p>
<p>If you do, I&#8217;ll send you one of the most valuable gifts<br />
we&#8217;ve ever given away. It&#8217;s our giant new, 51,000-word<br />
book, the &#8220;DOCTOR&#8217;S LITTLE BLACK BAG OF REMEDIES AND CURES,<br />
Vol. I.&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll explain our marketing trial in a moment&#8230;and why your<br />
&#8220;verdict&#8221; is so important to us. But first, let me tell you<br />
about the special free gift you&#8217;ll receive just for taking<br />
part.</p>
<p>&#8212;sidebar&#8212;<br />
Letter continues by explaining the free gift and goes on to<br />
explain how the fairest, most honest way to introduce new<br />
products is through sampling.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>* * *</p>
<p>That&#8217;s pretty powerful stuff, eh?</p>
<p>Moving on to the second letter opening Collier found to be<br />
magical. Here are a few examples:</p>
<p>==========================================================<br />
&#8220;With your permission, I am going to send you FREE a new,<br />
self-filling black beauty fountain pen-pencil, with your<br />
name stamped upon it in 24 carat solid gold leaf.&#8221;<br />
==========================================================</p>
<p>Or&#8230;</p>
<p>==========================================================<br />
&#8220;With your permission I am going to make an analysis of the<br />
soil of your lawn to determine &#8212; at my own risk and<br />
expense &#8212; what elements are lacking in it, what you need<br />
for stronger, healthier, more closely grown turf.&#8221;<br />
==========================================================</p>
<p>These openings were used over and over again by Collier<br />
because they worked. And they still work just as well today<br />
&#8211; here&#8217;s how a recent mailing from Rodale press started<br />
(mind you this is the control for the last 3 years &#8212; not<br />
an easy task when you mail millions):</p>
<p>* * *</p>
<p>Hot new book reveals&#8230;<br />
The Astonishing Sex Secrets Of The Most Satisfied&#8230;Most<br />
Knowledgeable&#8230;And Most Respected Lovers in the World!</p>
<p>Learn to enjoy the best sex of your life, at any age&#8230;<br />
with the amazing secrets and discoveries in this just-<br />
released &#8220;For Men Only&#8221; book that is dramatically changing<br />
men&#8217;s (and women&#8217;s) lives literally overnight&#8230;</p>
<p>Dear Friend,</p>
<p>With your permission (and with strict precautions for<br />
privacy), I am going to send you one of the most important<br />
and exciting books every released by an American publisher.</p>
<p>&#8212;Cut&#8212;<br />
letter continues.</p>
<p>* * *</p>
<p>Now both these letter concepts are incredibly powerful and<br />
they&#8217;ve been proven to work for the last 70 years. (And my<br />
bet is they&#8217;ll continue working for at least 70 more!) So<br />
what are you waiting for? Start putting these techniques to<br />
work right away in your business.</p>
