This Million-Dollar Control Holds
The Secret To Annihilating Your
Prospect’s Sales Resistance –
Making It Easier Than Ever
For You To Close The Sale …
Want to fire up the persuasive power in your sales copy?
All you have to do is make friends with your prospect.
According to Dr. Robert Cialdini, author of Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, the attraction, warmth, security and obligation of friendship can be brought to bear on the sales setting. And when you harness the power of "liking" in this way, your persuasive power is multiplied as the result.
Sounds simple, right?
Not so fast.
You have a huge obstacle to overcome first … your prospect’s dislike of you.
"When you turn your spokesperson into your prospect’s advocate and friend, it does more to break down sales resistance and build trust than any other marketing technique known to mankind."
It’s nothing personal. You just happen to be a copywriter … a marketer … a "salesman." Your prospect spent his day being bombarded by advertising messages, and then his dinner was just interrupted by yet another telemarketer trying to sell him a timeshare.
He’s on his guard. He doesn’t like you, and he certainly doesn’t trust you – not as far as he can throw you.
Unless you can overcome these feelings of dislike, selling products becomes an uphill battle.
Fortunately, there’s an easy way to do it.
Create a bond with your prospect –
And his sales resistance will melt away …
Clayton is masterful at loading his copy with elements that create an instant bond – a strong sense of liking – with his prospects.
And there’s one strategy he’s used over and over again to successfully gain his prospect’s trust – and make huge bundles of money.
THE REAL DEAL

"Clayton is the real deal. Not only is he one of the three best writers in the industry, he may be the single most successful copywriter in the world."
– Bob Bly,
Copywriter and Author
In fact, when he used this method in his blockbuster control, Forbidden Cures, the package mailed tens of millions of pieces and brought in millions in sales.
What does he do?
He creates a common enemy.
Whether it’s the no-good, greedy medical fat cats and drug company big shots reaping huge profits at the expense of your prospect’s health … or even the money-grubbing brokers or crooked CEOs on Wall Street who are out to steal his money … the enemy is dead-set on making life miserable for your prospect.
And your spokesperson knows exactly what your prospect is going through. He’s been there himself. And he has the only viable solution to your prospect’s situation.
When you turn your spokesperson into your prospect’s advocate and friend, it does more to break down sales resistance and build trust than any other marketing technique known to mankind.
You can see this incredibly successful strategy in all its glory in Clayton’s Forbidden Cures package. If you model this technique in your own sales copy, you’ll be sure to have a winner.
What? You don’t have a copy of Forbidden Cures lurking in your swipe file?
No problem. Clayton has included Forbidden Cures – along with 12 other killer promotions he wrote – in his new Steal These Secrets, Volume 2 swipe file.
Clayton doesn’t only want to tell you
how to write million-dollar promotions –
he wants to show you …
First, he unveiled a dozen of his world-beating controls – all packed to the gills with red-hot headlines, compelling themes, and proven marketing strategies – in his Steal These Secrets, Volume 1 swipe file.
Now, he’s got a brand NEW collection of control-creaming promotions available for your personal swiping pleasure in Steal These Secrets, Volume 2.
