German words on paper.

If you’ve read the previous post, you’ve already read the 6 words that will help you gain the trust of your web visitors. This time around, I will give you 5 more words. Are you ready? Read all about them below:

  • Imagine.
  • When you ask your customers to conjure a mental image, they use their imagination. In these stories, they are the main protagonist. Thus, “imagine” will help you in letting your customers think they need a product or service in their life.
  • They will imagine themselves in a better state using your products. As a salesperson, when they have imagined something, you just need to give them one last nudge, and definitely, they will click that “buy now” right away.
  • Senses.
  • You don’t need to use the word “senses,” but you need to use verbs on sensory experience.
  • Some examples include: see, watch, sound, hear, and many more.
    • For instance, you say something like…
    • Want to see how our state-of-the-art product works? Watch a live a demo here.
    • The words “see” and “watch” awakens people’s senses. You will be able to immediately get their attention.
    • So, use sensory language as a way to tap on people’s auditory and visual sensation.
  • Name.
  • Calling your customers by their name will make them feel special. When someone calls you by your name, they have your attention. You immediately stop what you are doing, and check who called you.
  • Same is true for email messages. You wouldn’t read a generic sales email. However, if you see your name on the subject line, you will stop and read what it’s about. Don’t hesitate to call your customers by their given name because they will pay attention better with whatever product or service you are offering them.
  • Power Words.
  • The English language is brimming with a plethora of words that evoke strong feelings of encouragement, fear, joy, and safety. Know how to use these “big” words at the perfect moment. Here a few power words you can add to your page titles, blog posts, and banners:
    • Phenomenal
    • Terrific
    • Breathtaking
    • Awesome
    • Best-selling
    • Authentic
    • World-class
    • Thorough
    • Secure
    • Unbeatable
  • Because.
  • Ellen Langer, a professor of psychology at Harvard, shared her research study regarding the word “because.”
  • She asked a group of people if it would be okay for them when somebody decides to cut a long line. Here are the sentences she used when she requested to break in line:
    1. Excuse me, I have 5 pages. May I use the xerox machine?
    2. Excuse me, I have 5 pages. May I use the xerox machine, because I have to make copies?
    3. Excuse me, I have 5 pages. May I use the xerox machine, because I’m in a rush?
  • The results concluded that how you write/say your request really affects how people would respond. When she did not give a reason, only 60% people agreed. However, when she stated that a specific reason (see sentence 2 & 3), more than 90% of the people allowed her to cut the line.
  • What’s the moral of the story? You should always include a reason behind your action.
  • So, don’t ask your customers to fill out a survey without explaining why you want such information. Tell them the purpose of their given input.

 

Phoenix Web Design – Words That Can Help You Gain Your Customers’ Trust

Without words, you won’t be able to your audience to check out your website. Words are your weapon. These words will help you convince web visitors to convert into customers. So, your word choices are important in writing product descriptions, creating blog posts, and composing marketing emails. Below are the 6 important words that will help you gain people’s trust.

  • You

  • Write in the second person POV. Always assume that you are directly talking to them. One way of doing that is using the word, you.
    • For example, The shirt suits you because it is comfortable and is built for everyday use.
  • For the most part, you are selling to your customers. Talk more about the benefits of your products, and not about your company. Every time you see yourself from talking from your perspective, always go back and try to find a way to rephrase it to the viewpoint of your customers.
  • Do

  • Instead of using the word “try”, go for “do.”  For instance, “try to change the settings by…” say, “to change the settings, do this and do that…” This makes you more skilled and authoritative. Thus, your readers will have confidence following your instructions.
  • And

  • When you use the word “but,” it implies a negative connotation. The word “and” is a solution for you when you are dealing with unfavorable comments or contradictions.
  • The word “but” signals that you are about to say an antagonistic statement. “And” is an all-embracing word that makes you seem to agree even though you are at odds.
    • Take a look at these 2 examples:
    • “We stayed at home, but we just watched The Wizard of Oz.”
    • “We stayed at home, and we watched The Wizard of Oz.”
    • The second sentence seems like they enjoyed the 1939 movie, while the first sentence says otherwise. It’s as if they weren’t excited that they were watching a classic movie. Word choices really make a difference.

The words that motivate you.

  • Or

  • Don’t ask your customers if they would like to buy your product. Instead, give them a wide array of choices. If you only present one single option, their only choice is either to accept or to reject. However, if you provide them multiple options, you have increased your chances of receiving a yes from your customers.
  • So, don’t just tell them to check out your products. Instead, tell them that you offer it in different colors and size. Would they like it in red, blue, or yellow?
  • Should we … ?

  • Ask your readers. You don’t have to constantly tell them that “you should check this” or “you should do that.” It seems that it’s very bossy and pompous of you. Rephrasing propositions as interrogative questions encourages the customers to be open-minded. It extinguishes the idea for the conversation to go awry.
  • Support

  • According to Matthew Dixon and Brent Adamson’s The Challenger Sale, sales representatives should express agreement and work as one to show “support” or “unity.” This could have an influence on your buyer’s mindset. It enhances your customers’ purchase experience because they are sure that there’s an entire team ready to help whenever they encounter trouble. It strengthens customer relationship and brand loyalty.
