Could I get some feedback on these hooks? The objection is first, then an attempt to overcome it with the hook. This is for personal training industry. It is challenging but I need to improve and get this. I have already been critiqued by my wife (personal trainer who states these are the objections she gets all the time). Ouch feedback from her.…Read more

First question: Do these people really exist? If not, you have to speak with your wife and find actual people who have gotten these types of results. If not, then you couldn’t actually use these in letters.
The first one doesn’t really address the issue of “not enough time” because you don’t say how much time each day the attorney spent on the…Read more

Thank you Virginia. No, they are not usable. I attempted to produce fictional examples and use John’s process to learn structure (power nouns and verbs) based on what my wife hears from people.

Thanks. Agree 100%. It was the mechanics of the hook I was after in learning. I understand research, writing and re-writing are key as John stresses. Since, I have a few testimonials as a Realtor, I can review them and glean some hook material.
Onward.

Question on lesson #5. John states bullets are the fusing of features and benefits into a one, two-punch (mini story). Perhaps I am getting in my own way here but in looking at the examples, I do not necessarily see the feature then benefit in the bullet. Are they hidden in the blind bullet? In other words, you are giving the benefit, but…Read more

Well, I may have answered my own question by looking at my previous features and benefits for real estate. Here is what I came up with. All thoughts and opinions welcomed.
