Understanding the basics of sales as it relates to chatting will not give you super powers but they will provide you an advantage when communicating to subs. The following sales topics should provide you with the ability to tweak your communication and approach to increase the likelihood of engagement and sales whilst also allowing you to identify your subs behaviour more accurately. Each section should be thought of as a skill and standards to hold yourself to.
Buying Signals
Understanding how buying signals work are essential to being able to understand your sub and taking control of the conversation. Buying signals are actions, statements, or behaviours exhibited by a potential sub that indicate they are interested in spending money. These signals can be either implicit or explicit.
Implicit buying signals are subtle actions or behaviours that suggest a sub is interested in making a tip or purchasing a PPV. Explicit buying signals, on the other hand, are more obvious actions or statements that directly indicate a subs intention to purchase. By recognising and responding to these buying signals, chatters can effectively engage with potential paying subs and increase the likelihood of making a successful sale.
Here are some subtle examples of someone's willingness to engage in a relationship:
They initiate conversations: If someone initiates conversations with you, it's a sign that they are interested in getting to know you better and building a relationship with you. They respond quickly and consistently: If someone responds quickly and consistently to your messages, it shows that they are making an effort to keep the conversation going and maintain a connection with you. They ask questions: If someone asks you questions about your interests, hobbies, or opinions, it shows that they are interested in learning more about you and want to build a deeper connection. They share personal details: If someone shares personal details or stories with you, it's a sign that they are comfortable opening up and trust you enough to share personal information. They use positive language: If someone uses positive language and expresses enthusiasm or excitement when talking to you, it's a sign that they enjoy your company and want to build a positive relationship with you.
Buying signals are indicators from the sub letting you know that the sub is ready to buy. They are not necessarily telling you that they want to buy but rather they are in a position to buy.
Explicit buying signals
You will sometimes have subs that are not interested in building rapport and are not on OnlyFans for the same reason as the other 99%. They know what they want and they want it now. In this case, give them what they want and sell 🚀🚀🚀.
Subtle buying signals are less explicit but are most common:
“oh, what are you up to rn” This is a huge buying signal, the sub wants to know what you are up to as they are in a position to do something themselves but are not too direct with it.
As the chatter, you need to try not to get too in your head about the fact you are the chatter and not the creator, but try to imagine this is a relationship. Communicate like you would with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Be flirtatious, be as real as possible. Remember, the sub, for the most part, is here for real engagement, otherwise they would go to free porn sites.
Other examples
“I just got home, im chilling” Or more simply, they initiate the conversation, they are using long sentences or they use descriptive words. If they are responding to your messages quickly, this is also a big buying signal = they are very engaged.
If a sub asks about price ahead of time, they are making clear that they are willing to make a purchase there and then. Don’t put it off as they are deep in the buying zone, cease the moment and sell.
BAD BUYING SIGNALS ⛔
Examples of bad buying signals are the opposite of what has been described above as well as slow response time, one word answers, etc. It is important to note that this does not mean you cannot sell to that sub, but that you just cannot sell at this point in time. You need to work harder to convert them, bringing them into a position to sell.
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE BUYING SIGNALS
You need to create them as you haven’t created enough want or demand for what you have so there are things you can do to get them to that point Build a relationship and rapport, build trust, ask open ended questions and in the case of chatting be as descriptive as possible. Be sexy and cheeky, use suggestive language, act as if you fancy the sub and you want to get to know them better. WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE THEM
Once you have buying signals, it does not mean you’ve sold. It means you deserve the sale, until that point you did not deserve their money or the sale. By getting to deserve it you need to do the requisite steps, and even then its not a guaranteed sale. Now the hardest part of the battle is to close. Given you are constantly selling and upselling throughout a sequence or episode with a sub, we need to sell them on multiple transactions over time. Fortunately, each sale makes the next sale more likely given they are nearing climax as the episode goes on, but after each sale you need to repeat the same sales process. You can’t try and sell without any effort, you need to use descriptive language to maintain and increase the excitement. Each time you sell you need to reanalyse your buying signals, you need to get new buying signals. Many times a chatter will sell a piece of content and immediately afterwards post another video at a higher price and the sub will not make the purchase. This is a turn off for the sub. You need to work to get your next sale and continue to grow their arousement in between videos. Sale 1 is the hardest but it does not guarantee sale 2, 3, 4, or 5. Think of it as a content sandwich. Build rapport, sell content, build more rapport, sell more content script. You need rapport on either side of the sale to extract the most value from the sub. It is worth noting that rapport and conversation in between content/PPV should not be long winded or boring. The rapport does not have to be long, it can be a bit short and sweeter, its a top up, not the entire process again. You cant get back to back sales without some work in the middle. Passenger Driver Philosophy 🚕🚕🚕
When communicating with a sub, we want to do our best to always be the driver of the conversation and not the passenger. The only time this would not be applicable is if the sub has made it clear they want to be the dominant one, in which case you do what they say... 😈
For example, when a sub asks you how your day has been, this is a perfect opportunity to take control and direct the conversation where you want it and in your favour. Taking this one step further, if you know the creator has got a script where she is in the shower, a perfect answer to “how was your day” could be “ive been to the gym, and ive just got out the shower and im in my towel 💦”. This is suggestive, descriptive and leading. From here, in the majority of cases, the sub will want to see you in the towel and even if they do not say it, you can send the first piece of the script, which would likely be the creator in a towel.
You have driven the conversation into a script and the sub is most likely going to follow your lead.
The Mirror Effect
It’s a common-sense concept: If a pushy door-to-door salesman comes calling and attempts to barge his way into the house with a product you don’t want, chances are you aren’t spending any money.
On the other hand, if you’re on the hunt for a new car and the salesperson is knowledgeable, kind, and considerate there’s a much better chance that you’ll give her your business.
Put simply, being liked boosts your chances of making a sale, since it naturally confers a sense of trust and comfort.
The challenge? Cultivating this friendly framework when talking to a sub over a short time or when you don’t know a great deal about their preferences or habits.
The solution? It starts with sales mirroring -- the process of subtly imitating the behaviours and communication styles of prospective buyers. Here’s what you need to know about effective sales mirroring, why it matters, and which techniques are the most effective.
In general, you want to replicate the energy of the sub so to not scare them or underwhelm them. To do this you can mirror the speed of responses, the length of the messages and the tone of voice.
If a new sub begins chatting and they are coming at a 5 out of 10 on the excited gauge, and you come in at a 10 out of 10, you are going to scare them off and they will see it is insincere and fake. What you really want to do at that point is come in at a 5 or 6 out of 10 and gently build them up over time. This is the reason in most scripts we start off with freebies as we are starting low until we can identify their level. The caveat to this is if they come in 🔥 and say “sell me sex!!”. In this case they are already at 10!
The goal is to give back what you are receiving and a bit more, always bringing them up. Understand the environment you are in, it they are a bit more shy and reserved, don’t come of extravagant as they wont be able to feel that emotion and wont be able to relate.
To over exaggerate the point, if a sub asks “hows your day been”, you don’t want to come back with a one liner about how wet your pussy is. The opposite also applies, if the sub is telling you (or even showing you!) how hard his dick is, don’t tell him about how you want to the shops earlier 🙃🙃🙃🙃
Open Ended Questions??????????
It seems simple enough: open-ended sales questions are those that require more than a one-word answer while closed-ended questions can be answered with a selection from a shortlist of choices.
Open-ended questions enable chatters to create a healthy dialogue while gently encouraging the sub to share information and uncover their personal details.
The goal as a chatter is to have open flowing conversation where both parties are speaking freely. Think of it as the same way you might chat with a friend.
“tell me more about [your day]” “describe to me your [perfect date]” “what do you think of [football]” These are all questions, where the answer can be expanded upon and cannot usually be answered with a simple yes or no. Which will cause the conversation to shutdown or be hard to open back up.
These are to be used during relationship building to increase connection and arousal, but also, in consolidation (post sale), in order to reduce buyers remorse.
Examples of closed ended that we DON’T WANT
“was your dinner nice” versus “what did you have for dinner” “did you enjoy the gym today” versus “what did you do at the gym today” These examples do not promote conversation.
The Yes Train 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂
This is where we are trying to get the sub to agree with us as many times as possible, subconsciously the more the sub is in agreement with you, the harder it is for the sub to say no. The reason this is important is when selling PPV and they’ve said yes 100 times already in the conversation, their subconscious is telling them to say yes without them knowing if they want it.
Getting them to agree yes is getting them on the YES TRAIN 🚂!! The more they say yes, the more they will open up, the more they say yes, the more they trust you. Just saying yes wont convert sales straight away but as time goes on it will make incremental differences which will build up over time resulting in better sales overall.
CAVEAT!!: the yes train must be used in a flirty manner, and can only be used when the sub is already at an 8 out of to 10 on the arousal graph, it can only be used during the actual sexting otherwise it can be considered a closed ended question where insufficient momentum has been built up which can close down the conversation.
