Understand Your Audience’s Problem
One of the biggest challenges we face as business owners is the gap between our understanding of our audience's problem and their perception of it. This disconnect often results in content that is either too vague or overly complicated, leading to missed connections and lost opportunities. Understanding your audience's problem on a deeper level allows you to create content that resonates, engages, and ultimately converts.
For example, let's say you’re a weight loss coach, and you tell your clients that you’ll help them lose weight by healing their inner child wounds. While this approach may resonate with a niche audience familiar with inner child work, most potential clients are more concerned about practical issues such as dietary choices, exercise routines, and metabolic health. They want to know if they should eat carbs, how many calories to consume, and what types of exercises are most effective.
By aligning our messaging with their level of awareness, we bridge the gap between our expertise and their needs. This means:
- Speaking Their Language: Use terminology and concepts that your audience is already familiar with.
- Addressing Immediate Concerns: Focus on the pressing issues that your audience is actively seeking solutions for.
- Gradual Education: Introduce more complex concepts gradually, as your audience becomes more engaged and trusts your expertise.

Specificity Over Vagueness
It's tempting to cast a wide net, thinking it will attract more clients. However, specificity is your best friend when it comes to attracting high-ticket clients. When you address a problem in a specific, detailed manner, your audience feels seen and understood. Specificity helps to differentiate your services from the competition, making your offerings unique and highly desirable.
Specificity means zeroing in on the precise issues your audience faces and describing them in detail. This approach helps your audience see that you understand their situation intimately and that you have the expertise to help them.
: Instead of saying, "I help you improve your mindset," you might say, "I help business owners overcome self-doubt and take decisive actions that lead to tangible business growth." This clear and direct statement outlines the problem and the benefit of your service. You want to use specific examples and scenarios that your audience can relate to, making your message more compelling and relevant.
By embracing specificity in your messaging, you not only differentiate yourself from the competition but also create a deeper connection with your audience. This approach leads to higher engagement, trust, and ultimately, more high-ticket clients who see the value in your unique offerings.
Avoid Agitating the Pain Too Much
While highlighting the pain points of your audience is important, there is a fine line between addressing their problems and pushing them into a victim mentality. Our goal is to empower, not dishearten. We want to attract action-takers—those who are ready to invest in themselves and transform their lives. Over-emphasizing pain can attract individuals who are not prepared to take decisive action, leading to frustration and unmet expectations on both sides.
By focusing too much on pain points, you may attract clients who are stuck in a victim mentality and are not ready to take action. These clients are often challenging to work with and may not achieve the desired outcomes. Constantly agitating pain can create a negative vibe around your brand, making it less appealing to potential clients who are looking for positive and empowering solutions.
A balanced approach involves acknowledging the pain points while focusing on the solutions and the positive outcomes your services provide. This strategy not only highlights the urgency of their problems but also positions you as the guide who can lead them to a better place.
Embrace Your Angle Of Mastery
The cornerstone of effective messaging is what I call the Angle of Mastery. This concept revolves around creating a core message that encapsulates the essence of what you do in a way that makes your audience feel they need your services immediately. This approach not only highlights your expertise but also positions your solution as the definitive answer to their problem.
The Angle of Mastery is about conveying your unique value proposition in a clear, compelling, and authoritative manner. It's the big idea that ties together all the smaller aspects of your services and presents them as a cohesive, indispensable solution.
To develop your Angle of Mastery, follow these steps:
- Identify the Root Problem: Determine the main issue your audience faces that your services address. This should be a problem that is significant and urgent enough to compel immediate action.
- Craft a Clear, Compelling Message: Develop a succinct statement that conveys your solution's essence and its importance.
- Highlight Your Unique Approach: Emphasize what sets you apart from others in your field. This could be your methodology, experience, or results.
Attracting high-ticket clients boils down to understanding and communicating their problems with precision and clarity. By aligning your message with their level of awareness, being specific rather than vague, avoiding excessive pain agitation, and embracing your Angle of Mastery, you position yourself as the go-to expert in your field. Remember, specificity is not about exclusion but about resonance. Let’s step into our power, refine our messages, and make a lasting impact.
