Additional Info Needed Here s what else you ll need: Slightly Expanded Story Teaching Segments (a.k.a. chunks )
Why You Need To Tell Your Story The goal of telling your story is twofold. 1. You want to position yourself as the expert and why someone should be listening to you. 2. You want the audience to identify with you. Therefore, having a great story that touches both the hearts and minds of your prospects is critical. You only need a slightly longer version of what you already wrote for your Conversion Engine sales letter.

** KEY TIP! ** When you re creating content for your LeadGen Audio, you do NOT have to do everything as a script word-for-word Reading directly word-for-word is VERY hard. Consider instead creating snippets and bullet points to prompt you as to what to say. This is FASTER and EASIER to do removes agonizing over every word.
Example: Dave s Story Magician good, but only 3 shows a month need more shows How? Deep in debt, struggling, can t sleep. May have to get regular job. Attended event, saw Dan the answer?! Can t afford $247 sad, frustrated. Dan followed up scraped together money took MASSIVE ACTION. In 30 days went from 3 shows/month to 30! Then 57! Living my dream.
Produces: Dave s Story I was a magician doing just 3 shows a month. I knew I had a good show and I d always wanted to be a magician, but I couldn t figure out how to get more shows. So I was struggling, deep in debt and waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat and always nervous. I didn t know what I was going to do and thought I would have to get a regular job. Then I went to a seminar and saw this speaker. At the end of the seminar he had a product called Magnetic Marketing and I wanted to buy this product but I didn t have the $247 to buy it. I went home so upset and sad knowing that this was the product that was going to change my life.
Dave s Story But then fortunately this marketer, Dan Kennedy, sent me a letter in the mail telling me I can get the same deal if I ordered by the deadline. I was so nervous over $247. I talked about it with my wife and I actually called up the company and asked if this would work for magicians. Anyway I bit the bullet and put the last bit on my credit card and got Magnetic Marketing. When it came I devoured it. I spent a whole weekend, I didn t even sleep and on Monday I started implementing. The bottom line is in 3 months I went from 3 shows a month to averaging 30 shows a month. In my 4th month I did 57 shows! I was finally living my dream.
NEXT: Create Your Teaching Chunks The "Teaching Chunks" lay out what you need your audience to believe in order to take you up on your offer. What you teach in these 3-5 Chunks sets the buying criteria (just like the Competition Eliminator Checklist)

Examples Which produces an almost identical TEACHING CHUNK bullet point in your LeadGen Audio: You need to strengthen your fingers and grip the club in a way that maximizes your body s full POWER POTENTIAL.
How to Create Each Teaching Chunk Now for each teaching chunk point, ask these three questions that your prospects will have: WHY do I need to do this? WHAT do I need to do? WHEN I do this, what will happen? Answering questions will make it easier for you to create the chunk. You ll typically want three or so points to go with each answer.
CHUNK: You need to strengthen your fingers and grip the club in a way that maximizes your body s full POWER POTENTIAL. So you would ask For Example WHY do I need to have strong hands and a proper grip for golf? WHAT do I need to do to grip the club for maximum POWER POTENTIAL? WHEN I do grip the club properly with sufficient strength what will happen?
Sample Answers WHY do I need to have strong hands and a proper grip for golf? Power in the golf swing comes from strong contact with the club. Weak hands produce weak shots. If you grip the club improperly, you create more chances for the club to go off line during the swing itself, causing the ball to fly off-course / erratically. When you do the right exercises that strengthen your hands, you also strengthen your forearms, which are key to turning over the club which imparts Power Draw spin to the shot when you hit it.
Sample Answers WHAT do I need to do to grip the club for maximum POWER POTENTIAL? Left hand grip strongly with the last three fingers. Right hand grip strongly with the middle two fingers. Make sure the V s of both hands point to your body s specific POWER POINT at your back shoulder. Grip the club with the proper pressure too tight and you will lose clubhead speed; too loose and you risk losing control.
Sample Answers WHEN I do grip the club properly with sufficient strength what will happen? You will strike the ball in a more consistent manner making topped shots, whiffs, and other major fumbles disappear. You will strike the ball more often on the sweet spot of the clubface which transfers more energy to the ball. The ball will fly straighter AND further because there s less side spin and a more powerful flight path for the ball.
