#59: How to Create a Killer Sales Page Headline

One of the business guides I return to again and again is the book Great Leads. This book tells you everything you need to understand about communicating with your audience in a way that cultivates the relationship and results in increasing sales. No matter how many times I've read this book, I'm always blown away by the statistic they open with: “80% of emotional impact will be determined by the first 20% of the copy.” Did you know that? Because I sure didn’t! The first few hundred words of your copy are known as “the lead.” And if those first hundred words are the entryway to a sale, your headline is the front door that every client has to walk through, in order to get to your product. Of course, what you really want is for them to be stampeding through! To get this, you need a killer headline for your sales page.
