#90 Francis Nayan from Stories & Copy: How to Use Storytelling to Make Your Brand Stand Out Copywriting is one of the most important skills of e-commerce marketing. So let's take a deep dive into high-quality copywriting and how to incorporate effective storytelling into your email marketing. Francis Nayan is a Direct Response Email Copywriter and Strategist for 7-8 Figure E-Commerce Companies. Francis specializes in automated behavior-driven emails that provide a steady stream of cash flow for e-commerce businesses around the world. Daniel and Francis would like to give a shout-out to Joshua Chin, Csaba Borázi, and the Chronus Creative Agency for helping them get connected. Thanks, folks! Tune in to hear Daniel and Francis discuss: ✔️ How did Francis Get Started in Copywriting? ✔️ How to Increase Conversions With a Personal Tone of Voice ✔️ How Do You Tell Stories in Emails? ✔️ How to Handle Customer Objections ✔️ How Long Should An Email Be? How did Francis Get Started in Copywriting? It all began in 2017. At the time, Francis was working as an English teacher in Budapest. He'd been in this role for one and a half years, and he wanted a change. When considering his options, Francis met a copywriter and an international meeting spot. Copywriting appealed to Francis as a career choice that would allow him to work remotely and travel. From his first client on Upwork, Francis would take on various projects from emails to blog posts and website content until eventually he was hired by an e-commerce email marketing agency. Francis particularly enjoys the ‘instant gratification' from email marketing - seeing how well your work performs a mere few days after launch. That's when began ‘niching down' and taking on e-commerce clients. Daniel and Francis agree that taking on feedback and understanding how customers are responding to your copy is crucial to professional development and success. How to Improve Conversion with a Personal Tone of Voice Authentic marketing has never been more important. Millennials and Gen Zs are particularly receptive to a personal and genuine style tone of voice (TOV). “Nowadays, the buyers are smart. They know what boring templated jargon build copy looks like. They don't have to be in marketing to know what that is. We have to give the customers credit.” It's important for the customer to feel like they're having a one-to-one conversation while they're reading your copy. Francis recalls one of his most important lessons from copywriting expert, John Carlton: pretend as if you're talking to your friend at a bar. ‘Barroom copy' reads more like offering advice to a friend rather than hard selling. Naturally, this TOV works best with advanced segmentation, personalized automation, and top-notch design. In Francis's words, that is ‘smart marketing'. Smart marketing for the smart consumer. How Do You Tell Stories in Emails? It goes without saying that marketing emails are shorter than landing pages. So how do you harness storytelling in such short-form content? As Francis points out, e-commerce emails are limited to fewer than 500 words. Above all, stories show the transformation. To incorporate storytelling into your emails, you need to show how your product takes a customer from point A to point B. You don't even need 300 words to do that. Most of this involves showcasing what makes your product unique and how it works better than that of your competitors. The more you demonstrate this transformation, the more you can simplify the copy. “When I say storytelling, it's not necessarily having that long narrative, it's showing the transformation.” It's not just writing emails that promote a 20% discount, it's showing the customer why they should use your discount code. If you are going to go down the narrative route, Francis and Daniel recommend engaging your customers with a story told over a series of emails. AndréChaperon calls this the ‘Soap Opera Sequence'. The ‘Soap Opera Sequence' works best at around 5 emails with a call to action (CTA) on the third email. Customers will lose interest if the sequence is too long. How to Handle Customer Objections The best way to handle customer objections is to be upfront about them. Don't hide the fact that there will be certain things your customers face, but that you have a solution to it. For example, “We realize some items will take some time to arrive. That's why you can track your order every step of the way/we only charge X - amount for shipping.” Always mention potential objections in the footer or P.S. Or dedicate an entire email to one. For example, “Worried your item won't fit? Here's our exchange policy.” Just make sure that your customers know that their objections are being taken care of. How Long Should an Email Be? Francis says that this all comes down to testing. Generally, don't make it too long. Don't have 300 - 400 words of copy with 10 - 20 product blocks. The more expensive a product is, the more copy you'll need. Francis prefers ‘short, punchy copy'. “People are just scrolling through their emails, and you want to stand out and get the point across pretty quick.” Use short concise copy that tells a story of transformation.

When someone has gone through your introduction emails the “Soap Opera Sequence” and bonded with YOUR Attractive Character, your emails moving forward should be 90% entertainment and just 10% content.
One of the first thing to do, when we publish a website, is to invite people to subscribe to your mailing list. By offering a free something or just by offering to you audience to be informed next time a new article will be published. Nevertheless, before to send your recurring content to you new subscribers, it's good to send them a series of emails to introduce yourself, letting them know what they will get is they stay in the mailing list. In fact there is a very precise format for that, the "Soap Opera Sequence", designed by Russel Brunson. It goes that way: Day 1: Set the scene Day 2: The backstory with the unexpected challenge Day 3: The breakthrough, the Epiphany what you realized and what you wish you would have known. This is also where you introduce you offer, ties to what you discovered back then. Day 4: The hidden benefits of your offer Day 5: Why people should act now, giving them a reason by offering something special if they buy your offer today. ---------------------- If you want to learn more about how to build a startup without technical skills, check: https://myctofriend.co If you want to learn more about Marketing automation, then check: https://marketingautomationninja.com These episode are also available as Youtube Video on: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnY4HNrvZTnIOMO3FPkinxQ

Hey everybody …Ken Newhouse from FunnelTribes.com here and I want to welcome you back to the Get Clients Now Podcast. Today is our 8th episode in our Six Figure Sales Funnel Series and today we’re going to talk about how to get prospects (that have come into your sales funnel) to instantly bond with your Magnetic Mystique persona. We accomplish this through a process (known as the Soap Opera Sequence) …which is a methodology (created by Andre Chaperon) that uses email (to create affinity and build trust) between you and your prospects. This methodology makes it much, much easier to (for prospects to become engaged in your process). Now the benefits of that (which should be obvious) are that a greater percentage of them will (make that initial purchase in your sales funnel) move up your ladder of ascension (where they’ll continue buying) until they reach the top of your value ladder ...which (ultimately means) …you’ll get more clients …sell more stuff …and make more money (consistently). Now …in the previous episodes (in this series) …we talked about: Where your traffic is “hanging out” online (so you know where to target them) “in mass” … (which we covered in episode #031) We talked about (reverse engineering) where your traffic is coming from and now that we know (where our most successful competitors) are buying their traffic …(we know where to buy ours) …and we covered that in episode #022 … From there …we get traffic coming into our world …(meaning that we’re converting traffic that we control) and traffic we don’t control …and we’re converting them into (traffic that we own) which simply means (we’re getting prospects from these traffic sources) to opt-in …where they end up (on our list) …and now we (essentially) “own” that relationship …we own that traffic. (that’s from episode #032) Once we’ve got them on our list (meaning that we own the relationship) …we communicate to them through our (Magnetic Mystique) …the persona you’ve created (based in truth) that resonates with your (Ideal prospects and clients) …and is magnetic and irresistible to them… (and you can learn more about that in episodes #033 and #034) And on today’s show …we’re gonna take all that (and assemble the framework) you’ll use to take the (traffic that you now own) …remember …we’ve taken traffic that you control (from paid ads) …and traffic that you don’t control (that comes from people) say “landing on your blog page” from any number of sources (out of your control) …and we’ve converted those two forms of traffic (into traffic that you own).
