Hook, Proof, Offer, Action Might Be the Most Potent Persuasive Formula You Aren't Using
Justin Babcock • Jan 21, 2020
In general, the HPOA formula is pretty simple.
Write or record something that is going to hook
a prospect's attention within 5 seconds of reading or watching. Next, give them proof
that you can make them feel good and improve their lives.
Now offer
them a chance to take the first step to 'better.' Lastly, tell them how to take action
and make sure they can take action immediately.
Let's look at the Hook, Proof, Offer, Action formula in practice:
Did you know 15-minutes can cost you 125 hours?
That's because there are over 500 car insurance providers in the US. Luckily for you, we are a licensed insurance broker that can shop for you.
We save you time and money by leveraging our relationships and using broker specific software that is not available to the public.
Don't believe us? Let us shop with you. If you find cheaper insurance, you win. If we find cheaper insurance, you win.
Click 'get started' and challenge our agent to a quote race.
The 15-minute line calculated to 125 hours hooks the reader. The insurance agent offers proof of licensing and leverage of having software that the public doesn't. The offer is to shop with you so there is no real risk and the action is to start a challenge.
Now let's break down the HPOA formula.
What is a marketing hook?
A hook is a short sentence or video clip that inflicts an emotional need to learn more.
What is marketing proof for a product or service?
Proof is a unique combination of experience, service, products, attributes, benefits, claims, awards, and processes that make your company the best option.
What is a marketing offer?
A marketing offer is an exchange of personal information (name, email, phone number, etc.) for a free product or service.
What is a marketing action?
Marketing actions convert strangers into leads. They include asking for a person to click to subscribe, sign-up, and/or complete a form. A good action might be to call a number, shop now, download an app, get directions, and/or visit a store. The important thing is to make sure the action is a logical next step. You didn't propose/get a proposal for marriage on your first date, did you? Don't ask a stranger to buy the first time you introduce your brand.

In the complex world of business, understanding the distinction between market behavior and marketing actions is paramount. Often, newcomers to the marketing realm are confounded by the unpredictability of the market and how it sometimes seems to defy their marketing efforts. A simple, yet enlightening analogy can help elucidate this - think of the market as the weather and marketing as farming.
A website isn't just a nice-to-have for businesses these days, it's a must-have. A well-designed website enhances your brand's online presence, paves the way for customer engagement, and business growth. In this article, we explore the 7 qualities you should look for in a New Port Richey web designer. We will also introduce you to Web Education Services - a Google 5-star rated web design agency.
In the ever-evolving digital landscape, establishing an online presence is paramount for every business. A well-structured and designed website can greatly enhance your brand's visibility and credibility. However, the process of creating a website can be daunting, especially when confronted with decisions like the cost of hiring a designer, how to find a suitable one, or opting for a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach using website builders like Wix or Squarespace. Making an informed choice can be challenging, but it's not impossible. Figuring Out Your Budget and Time: The Classic Decision Building a website involves an investment of both time and money. Hiring a designer can cost between $100 to $200 per website page, whereas setting up a website yourself might consume around 4 hours per page. It's a classic time or money conundrum that forces you to reassess your priorities. Do you have the design skills to build a website yourself? If not, using DIY applications may extend the time it takes for you to establish your online presence. However, if your budget is tight, investing your time into learning and implementing the process might be a viable option. DIY Website Builders: A Blessing or a Curse? Website builders like Wix, Squarespace, and WordPress have made website creation accessible to everyone, regardless of technical expertise. But are they always the best choice? Wix Pros: Wix offers an intuitive drag-and-drop interface and a variety of templates, which make it easy for beginners to create a website. It also provides advanced features for more seasoned users. Cons: The flexibility of Wix can also be its downfall, as the wide range of options can be overwhelming. Its SEO capabilities have been criticized, and the free plan comes with ads. Squarespace Pros: Squarespace is known for its sleek, professional design templates. It offers comprehensive features and excellent customer support. Cons: Squarespace's pricing is slightly higher compared to other builders, and the platform can be less intuitive for first-time users. WordPress Pros: WordPress offers incredible flexibility and control, with thousands of themes and plugins. It's a great choice for blogs due to its strong content management system. Cons: WordPress has a steeper learning curve compared to other builders, and you may need to handle updates and security measures manually.
