Hey guys, welcome to the special collaboration between The Game Podcast and $100 Million Offers, the audio book. Today, we're gonna talk about offer enhancers, specifically scarcity and urgency. First off, the difference between the two. Second off, the ethical ways of using them in business and the unethical ways of using it, which I highly don't recommend. Long-term, you'll lose money. So definitely use it the right way and make more money. That seems like the best thing to do. Hope you guys enjoy. And hey, if this podcast has been useful to you, share it with a friend. You know, I took a year to write this book and it took me two days to record this audiobook for you guys. If it takes you 15 seconds to click share on this and send it to a friend or share it on your stories, it would mean the world to me and might even mean the world to someone else.
Section four, enhancing your offer.
How can scarcity be used ethically in business?
Scarcity, urgency, bonuses, guarantees, and naming.
But wait, there's more. If you order today, every infomercial in the 90s. May 2019, Arnold Schwarzenegger's home, after-school All-Stars fundraiser.
The line of cars outside Arnold's house was around the corner, and we were in one of them. We were sitting in our Uber when a security guard with an earpiece, black suit, and black sunglasses knocked on the driver's window. It was like straight out of a movie.
The driver rolled down the window. Name? Alex and Layla Hermosi. He scanned the list on his clipboard, nodded, then checked off our names. Great, he said.
What role does urgency play in increasing sales?
His demeanor transformed from stern to inviting.
Welcome to the fundraiser. Stay in this line. You'll make a left, then security will escort you the rest of the way. The security guard talked into his walkie-talkie to the next post down the road, signaling our car was approved. Pulling in front of the estate was like entering a Bond movie. Lamborghinis, Bugattis, Ferraris, and brands of cars that are too expensive to even speak of. Old guys with young, scantily clad girls. A-list actors, celebrities with millions of followers who were recording themselves as they arrived, talking to their iPhones to their audiences. And us. The fundraiser was $25,000 per ticket to attend, with an invite list of only 100. There was a red carpet and all.
How can bonuses enhance the value of an offer?
Every year, the fundraiser culminated in a big auction for memorabilia and items some of the business owners in the audience gave away for charity. We walked around looking at the entertainment stations purposely devised to get donors in the giving mood. We saw $10,000 scotches, $500 cigars, pre-released items from major brands that wouldn't be available to the public until months later. And of course, the most expensive cuisine you could imagine. Layla and I were just soaking it all in. It was a wonderful night. We definitely felt like cool kids. Ben, the CEO of the charity, saw us looking lost and walked over. He took me by the arm and introduced me to some of the other donors. These were all men who were older than me, donating $100,000 and up without a second thought.
The man he introduced me to was one of the charity's biggest donors. He had built an ultra-high-end jewelry and watch business. I'm talking $100,000, $500,000, $2 million plus rare status symbols that people buy only so other .001 percenters know they belong.
What are effective strategies for creating scarcity?
He had donated upwards of $700,000 in merchandise as prizes for the fundraiser that evening. Alex and Layla, meet George, Ben said. He's been very generous with his time and money to the cause. George, this is Alex and Layla. They're donating a million dollars tonight to After School All-Stars. I figured you are both good people and wanted to connect you two. Nice to meet you, George said, with calm and weathered eyes. He was in his late 60s, tall and sturdily built. You could hear his eastern block origins in his accent. He sounded like a man who had fought tooth and nail to be here, but had softened his demeanor for gatherings such as these. But the tiger with the teeth and claws remained under the surface, ready to be called upon at a moment's notice.
