You've spent several pages battering relentlessly against your prospect's defenses, but at least one of those natural defenses is still there: the tendency to procrastinate. Even if your prospect wants the product, needs the product, it's easier to do it later. Create a sense of urgency. Call the prospect to act now. Show the customer where and how to order; lead your customers to the order button and do everything short of click on it for them. These "7 Secrets" won't make you a master copywriter overnight. Incorporate them in your sales letter, though, and you'll have gone a long way toward turning prospects into motivated buyers.
