Why Listing Every Lesson on Your Sales Page Can Hurt Conversions
I recently worked with a client who thought his sales page was ready for launch. But when I reviewed it, I noticed an issue: the page was essentially a headline followed by a breakdown of every lesson in the course.
Now, while it might seem logical to include every lesson and show potential buyers exactly what they’re getting, this approach can actually backfire. Here’s why:
The Problem with a Syllabus-Style Sales Page
When your sales page reads like a syllabus, people start making snap judgments and filtering out what they think they don’t need:
-
“I’ve heard that before; I don’t need that.”
Potential buyers dismiss parts of your course because they assume they already know the content. -
“Those lessons don’t apply to me.”
They might see specific lessons and decide the course doesn’t address their needs. -
“I can figure out those points on my own.”
They downplay the value of your course, believing they can learn the material elsewhere.
Instead of understanding the overall transformation your course can provide, they get caught up in the details and mentally check out. They click away, thinking the course isn’t for them—when in reality, they’re missing the bigger picture of how your course can help them achieve their goals.
What Your Sales Page Should Focus On Instead
Your sales page isn’t just about listing lessons; it’s about showcasing the value and transformation your course offers. Here’s what to emphasize:
-
Highlight the Transformation: What will they be able to achieve after taking your course? Focus on the skills, knowledge, and results they’ll walk away with.
-
Show the Benefits and Outcomes: Instead of detailing every lesson, explain how your course solves their pain points and the benefits they’ll gain.
How We Transformed His Sales Page
After reviewing the client's initial sales page, we completely revamped it. We shifted the focus from a syllabus-style breakdown to a compelling narrative that highlighted the course’s value, outcomes, and the transformation it promised. We incorporated testimonials and clear calls-to-action, and the results spoke for themselves—higher engagement and better conversions during the launch.
