The Affiliate Guy with Matt McWilliams: Marketing Tips, Affiliate Management, & More

Today I am sharing a closing secret that takes some serious hustle, but is VERY effective. Call your prospects. Alex Mandossian did this during Josh Turner's launch in the spring of 2016. Literally, one of the living legends of online marketing was picking up the phone and calling prospects to sell them on Josh's course. That is truly legendary. Today, I share WHY this works, WHO to call, and HOW to get them on the phone.

In this series of how to close more affiliate sales, today's secret was the most surprising to me. But it is also one of the most impactful. When I studied the optins for the top converters vs. the average or below average converters, I found that 13% of the top converters sales came DIRECTLY from links to live events such as webinars and AMAs. Only 5% of the below average converters' sales did. That's secret #6 and the topic of today's podcast.
