Single Page Sales Letter Anatomy

• This is the pre-head – it "calls out" to a targeted audience.

Attention Small Business Owners!

• The headline grabs your prospect’s attention

"Finally! A Marketing System Guaranteed to Increase Your Sales in 14 Days or Less or Your Money Back!…………………."

• The sub-head adds more information to gain interest

Our Marketing System Brings in More Customers, Increases Sales, and Saves You Money!

• The salutation zeros in on your audience

Dear Small Business Owner,

• The first paragraph of the body is called the lead paragraph and is where you want to entice the reader to keep reading.

If your sales are down or you have wasted thousand of dollars on marketing programs that don’t work, I’ve got good news for you.

• The body tells the story and gives details.

My name is Mark Ferguson and I have seen companies waste money on Marketing Programs for over 17 years! Time and Time again they fall for a sales pitch from some slick firm using key words that get them to buy, only to be left later with huge debts, unhappy customers, and with no new sales. After seeing the aftermath over and over again I knew there had to be a better way. I knew my clients were getting results for less money!

That’s when I set out to build a Marketing System that Works Guaranteed for less money, less time, and less work from you. I spent years with my clients researching, designing, and perfecting one system after another. Finally I have consolidated my system into a simple straight forward process that anyone can use. My program has been proven by top small businesses in the US and more than doubled the revenue of many small businesses.

Within 14 days my clients were increasing their revenue, getting more customers, all for less money. I haven’t seen a single client who is ready for growth not get results. Best of all my simple program works anywhere, without huge amounts of money or resources. Simply start the program follow the steps and you are on your way. It’s so easy – you never have to worry about where your business is headed again.

Customers will flock to your door because the program aligns all of your potential customers to buy and trust your business. Once they’re in there’s no escape because they will never consider doing business with someone else again. I call it Customers For Life.

• Testimonials offer social proof

I had already experienced one business failing that resulted in bankruptcy and was facing another one when I met Mark at a conference. I knew something good was going to come of our meeting, I just didn’t know what. After six months on the Marketing System, my struggling publication that was about to shut down, grew 50 percent larger, I increased my revenue 300 percent, and attracted some of the most well-known names in our industry. I can’t believe all of this happened so fast. I know without a doubt that without the Marketing System I would not be in this place today.”
