How We Got Here +Alex Hormozi begins with his story from Christmas Eve in 2016. He was on the verge of going +broke. But a few days later, he hit a grand slam in early January of 2017. In $100M Offers, Alex +Hormozi shares this vital skill of making offers, as it was life-changing for him, and he wants to +deliver for you. +Chapter 2. Grand Slam Offers +In Chapter 2 of $100M Offers, Alex Hormozi introduces the concept of the “Grand Slam Offer.” +Travis Jones states that the secret to sales is to “Make people an offer so good they would feel +stupid saying no.” Further, to have a business, we need to make our prospects an offer: +Offer – “the goods and services you agree to provide, how you accept payment, and the terms +of the agreement” +Offers start the process of customer acquisition and earning money, and they can range from +nothing to a grand slam: +• No offer? No business. No life. +• Bad offer? Negative profit. No business. Miserable life. +• Decent offer? No profit. Stagnating business. Stagnating life. +• Good offer? Some profit. Okay business. Okay life. +• Grand Slam Offer? Fantastic profit. Insane business. Freedom. +There are two significant issues that most entrepreneurs face: +1. Not Enough Clients +2. Not Enough Cash or excess profit at the end of the month +$100M Offers by Alex Hormozi | +Section II: Pricing +In Section II of $100M Offers, Alex Hormozi shows you “How to charge lots of money for stuff.” +Chapter 3. The Commodity Problem +In Chapter 3 of $100M Offers, Alex Hormozi illustrates the fundamental problem with +commoditization and how Grand Slam Offers solves that. You are either growing or dying, as +maintenance is a myth. Therefore, you need to be growing with three simple things: +1. Get More Customers +2. 3. Increase their Average Purchase Value +Get Them to Buy More Times +The book introduces the following key business terms: +• Gross Profit – “the revenue minus the direct cost of servicing an ADDITIONAL customer” +• Lifetime Value – “the gross profit accrued over the entire lifetime of a customer” +Many businesses provide readily available commodities and compete on price, which is a race +to the bottom. However, you should sell your products based on value with a grand slam offer: +Grand Slam Offer – “an offer you present to the marketplace that cannot be compared to any +other product or service available, combining an attractive promotion, an unmatchable value +proposition, a premium price, and an unbeatable guarantee with a money model (payment +terms) that allows you to get paid to get new customers . . . forever removing the cash +constraint on business growth” +This offer gets you out of the pricing war and into a category of one, which results in more +customers, at higher ticket prices, for less money. In terms of marketing, you will have: +1. Increased Response Rates +2. Increased Conversion +3. Premium Prices +Chapter 4. Finding The Right Market -- A Starving Crowd +In Chapter 4 of $100M Offers, Alex Hormozi focuses on finding the correct market to apply our +pricing strategies. You should avoid choosing a bad market. Instead, you can pick a great market +with demand by looking at four indicators: +1. 2. 3. 4. Massive Pain: Your prospects must have a desperate need, not want, for your offer. +Purchasing Power: Your prospects must afford or access the money needed to buy. +Easy to Target: Your audience should be in easy-to-target markets. +Growing: The market should be growing to make things move faster. +$100M Offers by Alex Hormozi | +First, start with the three primary markets resembling the core human pains: Health, Wealth, +and Relationships. Then, find a subgroup in one of these larger markets that is growing, has the +buying power, and is easy to target. Ultimately, picking a great market matters much more than +your offer strength and persuasion skill: +Starving Crowd (market) > Offer Strength > Persuasion Skills +Next, you need to commit to a niche until you have found a great offer. The niches will make +you more money as you can charge more for a similar product. In the process of committing, +you will try out many offers and failures. Therefore, you must be resilient, as you will eventually +succeed. +If you find a crazy niche market, take advantage of it. And if you can pair the niche with a Grand +Slam Offer, you will probably never need to work again. +Chapter 5. Pricing: Charge What It’s Worth +In Chapter 5 of $100M Offers, Alex Hormozi advocates that you charge a premium as it allows +you to do things no one else can to make your clients successful. +Warren Buffet has said, “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.” Thus, people buy to get +a deal for what they are getting (value) is worth more than what they are giving in exchange for +it (price).” When someone perceives the value dipping lower than the price, they stop buying. +Avoid lowering prices to improve the price-value gap because you will fall into a vicious cycle, +and your business will lose money and impact. Instead, you want to improve the gap by raising +your price after sufficiently increasing the value to the customer. As a result, the virtuous cycle +works for you and your business profits significantly. +$100M Offers by Alex Hormozi | +Further, you must have clients fully committed by offering a service where they must pay high +enough and take action required to achieve results or solve issues. Higher levels of investment +correlate to a higher likelihood of accomplishing the positive outcome. +$100M Offers by Alex Hormozi | +Section III: Value - Create Your Offer +In Section III of $100M Offers, Alex Hormozi shows you “How to make something so good +people line up to buy.” +Chapter 6. The Value Equation +In Chapter 6 of $100M Offers, Alex Hormozi introduces the value equation. Most entrepreneurs +think that charging a lot is wrong, but you should “charge as much money for your products or +services as humanly possible.” However, never charge more than what they are worth. +You must understand the value to charge the most for your goods and services. Further, you +should price them much more than the cost of fulfillment. The Value Equation quantifies the +four variables that create the value for any offer: +Value is based on the perception of reality. Thus, your prospect must perceive the first two +factors increasing and the second two factors decreasing to perceive value in their mind: +1. 2. 3. 4. The Dream Outcome (Goal: Increase) – +“the expression of the feelings and +experiences the prospect has envisioned in their mind; the gap between their +current reality and their dreams” +Perceived Likelihood of Achievement (Goal: Increase) – the probability that the +purchase will work and achieve the result that the prospect is looking for +Perceived Time Delay Between Start and Achievement (Goal: Decrease) – +“the time +between a client buying and receiving the promised benefit;” this driver consists of +long-term outcome and short-term experience +Perceived Effort & Sacrifice (Goal: Decrease) – “the ancillary costs or other costs +accrued” of effort and sacrifice; supports why “done for you services” are almost +always more expensive than “do-it-yourself” +Chapter 7. Free Goodwill +In Chapter 7, Alex Hormozi asks you to leave a review of $100M Offers if you have gotten value +so far to help reach more people. +$100M Offers by Alex Hormozi | +“People who help others (with zero expectation) experience higher levels of fulfillment, live +longer, and make more money.” And so, “if you introduce something valuable to someone, +they associate that value with you.” +Chapter 8. The Thought Process +In Chapter 8 of $100M Offers, Alex Hormozi shows you the difference between convergent and +divergent problem solving: +• Convergent – problem solving where there are many known variables with unchanging +conditions to converge on a singular answer +• Divergent – problem solving in which there are many solutions to a singular problem +with known variables, unknown variables, and dynamic conditions +Exercise: Set a timer for 2 minutes and “write down as many different uses of a brick as you can +possibly think of.” +This exercise illustrates that “every offer has building blocks, the pieces that when combined +make an offer irresistible.” You need to use divergent thinking to determine how to combine +the elements to provide value. +Chapter 9. Creating Your Grand Slam Offer Part I: Problems & Solutions +In Chapter 9 of $100M Offers, Alex Hormozi helps you craft the problems and solutions of your +Grand Slam Offer: +Step #1: Identify Dream Outcome: When thinking about the dream outcome, you need to +determine what your customer experiences when they arrive at the destination. +Step #2: List the Obstacles Encountered: Think of all the problems that prevent them from +achieving their outcome or continually reaching it. Each problem has four negative elements +that align with the four value drivers. +Step #3: List the Obstacles as Solutions: Transform our problems into solutions by determining +what is needed to solve each problem. Then, name each of the solutions. +Chapter 10. Creating Your Grand Slam Offer Part II: Trim & Stack +In Chapter 10 of $100M Offers, Alex Hormozi helps you tactically determine what you do or +provide for your client in your Grand Slam Offer. Specifically, you need to understand trimming +and stacking by reframing with the concept of the sales to fulfillment continuum: +Sales to Fulfillment Continuum – +“a continuum between ease of fulfillment and ease of sales” +to find the sweet spot of selling something well that is easy to fulfill: +$100M Offers by Alex Hormozi | +The goal is “to find a sweet spot where you sell something very well that’s also easy to fulfill.” +Alex Hormozi lives by the mantra, “Create flow. Monetize flow. Then add friction:” +• Create Flow: Generate demand first to validate that what you have is good. +• Monetize Flow: Get the prospect to say yes to your offer. +• Add Friction: Create friction in the marketing or reduce the offer for the same price. +“If this is your first Grand Slam Offer, it’s important to over-deliver like crazy,” which generates +cash flow. Then, invest the cash flow to create systems and optimize processes to improve +efficiency. As a result, your offer may not change, but rather the newly implemented systems +will provide the same value to clients for significantly fewer resources. +Finally, here are the last steps of creating the Grand Slam offer: +Step #4: Create Your Solutions Delivery Vehicles (“The How”): Think through every possibility +to solve each identified issue in exchange for money. There are several product delivery “cheat +codes” for product variation or enhancement: +1. 2. 3. 4. Attention: What level of personal attention do I want to provide? +a. One-on-one – private and personalized +b. Small group – intimate, small audience but not private +c. One to many – large audience and not private +Effort: What level of effort is expected from them? +a. Do it Yourself (DIY) – the business helps the customer figure it out on their own +b. Done with You (DWY) – the business coaches the customer on how to do it +c. Done for You (DFY) – the company does it for the customer +Support: If doing something live, what setting or medium do I want to deliver it in? +a. In-person or support via phone, email, text, Zoom, chat, etc. +Consumption: If doing a recording, how do I want them to consume it? +a. Audio, Video, or Written materials. +$100M Offers by Alex Hormozi | +5. 6. 7. Speed & Convenience: How quickly do we want to reply? On what days and hours? +a. All-day (24/7), Workday (9-5), Time frame (within 5 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day) +10x Test: What would I provide if my customers paid me 10x my price (or $100,000)? +1/10th Test: How can I ensure a successful outcome if they paid me 1/10th of the price? +Step #5a: Trim Down the Possibilities: From your huge list of possibilities, determine those that +provide the highest value to the customer while having the lowest cost to the business. Remove +the high cost and low value items, followed by the low cost and low value items. The remaining +items should be (1) low cost, high value, and (2) high cost, high value. +Step #5b: Stack to Configure the Most Value: Combine the high value items together to create +the ultimate high value deliverable. This Grand Slam Offer is unique, “differentiated, and unable +to be compared to anything else in the marketplace.” +$100M Offers by Alex Hormozi | +Section IV: Enhancing Your Offer +In Section IV of $100M Offers, Alex Hormozi shows you “How to make your offer so good they +feel stupid saying no.” +Chapter 11. Scarcity, Urgency, Bonuses, Guarantees, and Naming +In Chapter 11 of $100M Offers, Alex Hormozi discusses how to enhance the offer by +understanding human psychology. Naval Ravikant has said that “Desire is a contract you make +with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want,” as it follows that: +“People want what they can’t have. People want what other people want. People want things +only a select few have access to.” +Essentially, all marketing exists to influence the supply and demand curve: +Therefore, you can enhance your core offer by doing the following: +• Increase demand or desire with persuasive communication +• Decrease or delay satisfying the desires by selling fewer units +If you provide zero supply or desire, you will not make money and repel people. But, +conversely, if you satisfy all the demands, you will kill your golden goose and eventually not +make money. +The result is engaging in a “Delicate Dance of Desire” between supply and demand to “sell the +same products for more money than you otherwise could, and in higher volumes, than you +otherwise would (over a longer time horizon).” +$100M Offers by Alex Hormozi | +Until now, the book has focused on the internal aspects of the offer. For more on marketing, +check out the book, The 1-Page Marketing Plan (book summary) by Allan Dib. The following +chapters discuss the outside factors that position the product in your prospect’s mind, including +scarcity, urgency, bonuses, guarantees, and naming. +Chapter 12. Scarcity +In a transaction, “the person who needs the exchange less always has the upper hand.” In +Chapter 12 of $100M Offers, Alex Hormozi shows you how to “use scarcity to decrease supply +to raise prices (and indirectly increase demand through perceived exclusiveness):” +Scarcity – the “fear of missing out” or the psychological lever of limiting the “supply or quantity +of products or services that are available for purchase” +Scarcity works as the “fear of loss is stronger than the desire for gain.” Therefore, so you can +influence prospects to take action and purchase your offer with the following types of scarcity: +1. Limited Supply of Seats/Slots +2. Limited Supply of Bonuses +3. Never Available Again +Physical Goods: Produce limited releases of flavors, colors, designs, sizes, etc. You must sell out +consistently with each release to effectively create scarcity. Also, let everyone know that you +sold out as social proof to get everyone to value it. +Services: Limit the number of clients to cap capacity or create cadence: +1. 2. 3. Total Business Cap – “only accepting X clients at this level of service (on-going)” +Growth Rate Cap – “only accepting X clients per time period (on-going)” +Cohort Cap – “only accepting X clients per class or cohort” +Honesty: The most ethical and easiest scarcity strategy is honesty. Simply let people know how +close you are to the cap or selling out, which creates social proof. +Chapter 13. Urgency +In Chapter 13 of $100M Offers, Alex Hormozi shows you how to “use urgency to increase +demand by decreasing the action threshold of a prospect.” Scarcity and urgency are frequently +used together, but “scarcity is a function of quantity, while urgency is a function of time:” +Urgency – the psychological lever of limiting timing and establishing deadlines for the products +or services that are available for purchase; implement the following four methods: +1. 2. Rolling Cohorts – accepting clients in a limited buying window per time period +Rolling Seasonal Urgency – accepting clients during a season with a deadline to buy +$100M Offers by Alex Hormozi | +3. 4. Promotional or Pricing Urgency – “using your actual offer or promotion or pricing +structure as the thing they could miss out on” +Exploding Opportunity – “occasionally exposing the prospect to an arbitrage +opportunity with a ticking time clock” +Chapter 14. Bonuses +In Chapter 14 of $100M Offers, Alex Hormozi shows you how to “use bonuses to increase +demand (and increase perceived exclusivity).” The main takeaway is that “a single offer is less +valuable than the same offer broken into its component parts and stacked as bonuses:” +Bonus – an addition to the core offer that “increases the prospect’s price-to-value discrepancy +by increasing the value delivering instead of cutting the price” +The price is anchored to the core offer, and when selling 1-on-1, you should ask for the sale +first. Then, offer the bonuses to grow the discrepancy such that it becomes irresistible and +compels the prospect to buy. Additionally, there are a few keys when offering bonuses: +1. 2. 3. Always offer them a bonus. +Give each bonus a unique name with the benefit contained in the title. +Tell them (a) how it relates to their issue; (b) what it is; (c) how you discovered it or +created it; and (d) how it explicitly improves their lives or provides value. +4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Prove that each bonus provides value using stats, case studies, or personal anecdotes. +Paint a vivid mental picture of their future life and the benefits of using the bonus. +Assign a price to each bonus and justify it. +Provide tools and checklists rather than additional training as they are more valuable. +Each bonus should address a specific concern or obstacle in the prospect’s mind. +Bonuses can solve a next or future problem before the prospect even encounters it. +10. Ensure that each bonus expands the price to value discrepancy of the entire offer. +11. Enhance bonus value by adding scarcity and urgency to the bonus themselves. +Further, you can partner with other businesses to provide you with their high-value goods and +services as a part of your bonuses.” In exchange, they will get exposure to your clients for free +or provide you with additional revenue from affiliate marketing. +Chapter 15. Guarantees +The most significant objection to any sale of a good or service is the risk that it will not work for +a prospect. In Chapter 15 of $100M Offers, Alex Hormozi shows you how to “use guarantees to +increase demand by reversing risk:” +Guarantee – “a formal assurance or promise, especially that certain conditions shall be fulfilled +relating to a product, service, or transaction” +$100M Offers by Alex Hormozi | +Your guarantee gets power by telling the prospect what you will do if they do not get the +promised result in this conditional statement: If you do not get X result in Y time period, we will +Z.” There are four types of guarantees: +1. 2. 3. 4. Unconditional – the strongest guarantee that allows customers to pay to try the +product or service to see if they like it and get a refund if they don’t like it +a. “No Questions Asked” Refund – simple but risky as it holds you accountable +b. Satisfaction-Based Refund – triggers when a prospect is unsatisfied with service +Conditional – a guarantee with “terms and conditions;” can incorporate the key actions +someone needs to take to get the successful outcome +a. Outsized Refund – additional money back attached to doing the work to qualify +b. Service – provide work that is free of charge until X result is achieved +c. Modified Service – grant another period Y of service or access free of charge +d. Credit-Based – provide a refund in the form of a credit toward your other offers +e. Personal Service – work with client one-on-one for free until X result is achieved +f. Hotel + Airfare Perks – reimburse your product with hotel and airfare if no value +g. Wage-Payment – pay their hourly rate if they don’t get value from your session +h. Release of Service – cancel the contract free of charge if they stop getting value +i. Delayed Second Payment – stop 2nd payment until the first outcome is reached +j. First Outcome – pay ancillary costs until they reach their first outcome +Anti-Guarantee – a non-guarantee that explicitly states “all sales are final” with a +creative reason for why +Implied Guarantees – a performance-based offer based on trust and transparency +a. Performance – pay $X per sale, show, or milestone +b. Revenue-Share – pay X% of top-line revenue or X% of revenue growth +c. Profit-Share – pay X% of profit or X% of Gross Profit +d. Ratchets – pay X% if over Y revenue or profit +e. Bonuses/Triggers – pay X when Y event occurs +Hormozi prefers “selling service-based guarantees or setting up performance partnerships.” +Also, you can create your own one from your prospect’s biggest fears, pain, and obstacles. +Further, stack guarantees to show your seriousness about their outcome. Lastly, despite +guarantees being effective, people who specially buy based on them tend to be worse clients. +Chapter 16. Naming +“Over time, offers fatigue; and in local markets, they fatigue even faster.” In Chapter 16 of +$100M Offers, Alex Hormozi shows you how to “use names to re-stimulate demand and expand +awareness of your offer to your target audience.” +“We must appropriately name our offer to attract the right avatar to our business.” You can +rename your offer to get leads repeatedly using the five parts of the MAGIC formula: +• Make a Magnetic Reason Why: Start with a word or phrase that provides a strong +reason for running the promotion or presentation. +$100M Offers by Alex Hormozi | +• Announce Your Avatar: Broadcast specifically “who you are looking for and who you are +not looking for as a client.” +• Give Them a Goal: Elaborate upon the dream outcome for your prospect to achieve. +• Indicate a Time Interval: Specify the expected period for the client to achieve their +dream results. +• Complete with a Container Word: Wrap up the offer as “a bundle of lots of things put +together” with a container word. +Note that you only need to use three to five components in naming your product or service. +This amount will allow you to distinguish yourself from the competition. Further, you can create +variations when the market offers fatigues: +1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Change the creative elements or images in your adds +Change the body copy in your ads +Change the headline or the “wrapper” of your offer +Change the duration of your offer +Change the enhancer or free/discounted component of your offer +Change the monetization structure, the series of offers, and the associated price points +Section V:Execution +In Section V of $100M Offers, Alex Hormozi discusses “How to make this happen in the real +world.” Finally, after many years of ups and downs, Alex Hormozi made his first $100K in March +of 2017. “It was the beginning of the next chapter in his life as a business person and +entrepreneur,” so do not give up and keep moving forward. + +END CONTENT SUMMARY + +# OUTPUT + +// Give analysis + +Give 10 bullets (15 words maximum) of analysis of what Alex Hormozi would be likely to say about this business, based on everything you know about Alex Hormozi's teachings. + +// Write the offer + +- Output three possible offers for this business focusing on different aspects of the value proposition. + +# EXAMPLE OFFERS + +### Example 1 + +- Pay one time.
