❌ Problem: They Don’t Feel the Need to Act

[ ] ✅ No Pain – They don’t see the problem as big enough.

👉 Action: Show them what they’re missing out on. Highlight real struggles and consequences.

[ ] ✅ No Opportunity Cost – They don’t think they’re losing by waiting.

👉 Action: Frame the cost of inaction (lost revenue, wasted time, missed chances).

[ ] ✅ No Wants/Desires/Needs – They don’t connect your offer to their goals.

👉 Action: Ask about their challenges and position your offer as the solution.

[ ] ✅ No Urgency – They don’t see a reason to buy now.

👉 Action: Use limited spots, bonuses, or pricing incentives to create urgency.

❌ Problem: They Can’t Decide

[ ] ✅ No Decision-Making Power – They need approval from a boss, partner, or team.

👉 Action: Identify decision-makers early and provide shareable materials.

[ ] ✅ Overwhelmed by Choices – Too many options make them hesitate.

👉 Action: Simplify your offer, make comparisons easy, and guide them to the best fit.

[ ] ✅ Confusing Offer – They don’t fully understand your product/service.

👉 Action: Use simple language, visuals, FAQs, and analogies to clarify.

❌ Problem: They’re Afraid or Don’t Trust You

[ ] ✅ Fear of Failure – They worry your solution won’t work for them.

👉 Action: Provide testimonials, case studies, success stories, and guarantees.

[ ] ✅ No Trust – They don’t trust you, your company, or your offer.

👉 Action: Share educational content, show social proof, and be transparent.

[ ] ✅ Skepticism About ROI – They’re unsure if it’s worth the investment.

👉 Action: Show numbers, success stories, and tangible benefits. Offer a trial or guarantee.

[ ] ✅ Fear of Change/Complexity – They think switching to your solution will be hard.

👉 Action: Offer a smooth onboarding process and guide them through the transition.

❌ Problem: External Barriers

[ ] ✅ No Resources – They think they can’t afford it.

👉 Action: Highlight the ROI, offer payment plans, or provide a lower-cost entry option.

[ ] ✅ Wrong Timing – Other priorities are in the way.

👉 Action: Stay in touch, nurture them, and offer a next-step option.

[ ] ✅ Little Things – Tech, process, or timeline concerns make them hesitate.

👉 Action: Ask what they need to make it work and address concerns upfront.

[ ] ✅ They Don’t Feel Special – They feel like just another customer.

👉 Action: Personalize your approach—mention their name, specific problems, and unique needs.
