In today’s episode, I dive into the power of a well-structured brochure and how it can completely change the way you market and sell your services. Many service-based businesses either don’t have a brochure or have one that doesn’t work effectively because it’s just a list of services and prices. A brochure should guide potential clients toward making a decision by clearly outlining the problem you solve, how you solve it, and the results they can expect.
I also explain how a brochure allows you to control the narrative and present your offer in a structured way that excites clients and makes them say, “I want this now.” Without a productised offer, your brochure risks becoming a mere price list that focuses on cost rather than value. I share how a strong brochure speeds up sales conversations, filters out wrong clients, and makes decision-making easier for prospects. It also acts as a tool that builds trust and showcases the transformation you deliver.
Key Takeaways:
- A Brochure Should Guide Decision-Making: a brochure must show the client’s journey from their challenges to the desired outcome. “A brochure should show that you understand where they are now... and the journey that they go on working with you.” – Amanda C. Watts
- Structured Offers Make Brochures Effective: without a structured, productised offer, your brochure won’t convey value. “Without a structured offer, a brochure is just a way to say, Here's what I do.” - Amanda C. Watts
- Brochures Speed Up Sales Conversations: A good brochure ensures clients come informed, making the sales discussions smoother. “A brochure also speeds up sales conversations; clients come into the conversation already informed.” - Amanda C. Watts
- Focus on Value, Not Price: a brochure should inspire excitement about transformation, not just focus on costs. “A well-crafted brochure guides the prospect towards wanting the result. Whilst a price list forces them to justify the cost.” - Amanda C. Watts
- Clarity Is Key to a Strong Brochure: If you’re struggling to create a brochure, it’s likely due to a lack of clarity in your offer. “it's probably not a design issue; it's a clarity issue.” - Amanda C. Watts
