Russell Brunson’s Epiphany Bridge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Russell Brunson’s Epiphany Bridge is designed to transport people to an “aha” moment. He writes that, to effectively engage your customers, you need to tell them not only about your product<\/em> but also about the story<\/em> behind it\u2014the problems you faced and how you came up with your idea to solve them. By sharing this story, you\u2019ll help your audience understand the \u201caha\u201d moment that hooked you into your idea emotionally, and it will likewise hook them<\/em> emotionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Brunson doesn\u2019t explain his term Epiphany Bridge<\/em> but we can infer that the bridge<\/em> is the infrastructure, in the form of a story, that brings a customer from a place of reluctance to a place of eagerness to purchase your offer. The epiphany<\/em>, naturally, is the moment of sudden understanding<\/a> they experience regarding how to solve a problem or challenge. In literature, an epiphany is often used as a turning point in a story, and Brunson\u2019s use of the term aligns with that purpose, as it\u2019s aimed at bringing about a turning point in their behavior.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brunson emphasizes that this is the only way to spur them to become customers because people make purchasing decisions when they\u2019re <\/strong>emotionally<\/em><\/strong> invested in an idea, not when they <\/strong>logically<\/em><\/strong> understand it<\/strong>. Thus, even if they mentally understand and agree with your concepts, they won\u2019t adopt them if they\u2019re not emotionally involved, and your company won\u2019t change their lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why We Buy<\/a> Emotionally<\/strong>

In Pitch Anything<\/em><\/a>, Oren Klaff also writes that to convince people to buy your offer, you must appeal to their emotions. He writes that people don\u2019t make decisions with their neocortex\u2014their \u201cthinking\u201d brain\u2014but instead with what he calls their \u201ccroc brain.\u201d This is the most primitive part of the brain<\/a>, and it processes information before any other part so that it can filter out threats and look for opportunities that can aid survival. It only engages the neocortex to think through complex decisions<\/a> when it decides that new information is worth paying attention to<\/a>. 

Klaff writes that desire<\/em> is one of the urges that spurs the croc brain<\/a> into action, and he notes that one of the ways we can spark desire is to present a puzzle<\/a>. Humans instinctively like figuring out puzzles because we like a bit of a challenge. He also writes that we\u2019re drawn to tension because tension indicates consequences and importance<\/a>. Brunson\u2019s \u201caha\u201d moment incorporates both of these: It presents a tension-filled puzzle (the problem you were initially trying to solve) and offers a solution. By engaging your audience in this puzzle-solving exercise, you can engage their emotions and thus, their croc brain, which will pave the way for the rest of their brain to get on board with your idea. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Brunson\u2019s Epiphany Bridge framework has five parts, and he writes that it\u2019s useful not only because it inspires excitement but also because it allows you to go into as much or as little detail as you need when presenting your idea. If you have an hour-long training session, you can review each of the steps in detail. But, if you have only 60 seconds, you can give a quick overview of your product by focusing just on the broad concepts of each step, but your message will still be effective.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Flexibility of your sales message is important because it allows you to engage potential customers at different points in their purchasing journey<\/a>. People who aren\u2019t familiar with your product haven\u2019t started their journey yet and probably won\u2019t be as open to a long presentation, so a quick \u201celevator pitch<\/a>\u201d highlighting the main things you want them to know would be the best approach. People who are attending a training session have already committed to at least considering your offer, and so will be more inclined to listen to a long speech.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The five parts of the Epiphany Bridge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The introduction<\/li>
  2. The journey and conflict<\/li>
  3. The new opportunity<\/li>
  4. The framework<\/li>
  5. The successes<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Brunson notes that the steps of this framework are similar to many traditional storytelling structures, which start by introducing the hero\u2019s original world and then bring in antagonistic forces, failed attempts at success, helping characters, struggles (both internal and external), and finally, resolution and success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: In Wired for Story<\/em><\/a>, Lisa Cron explains that the human instinct to follow stories that have these traditional elements comes from an evolutionary need to learn about dangers<\/a>. As humans evolved, we developed storytelling strategies that aligned with how our brains process information, and as a result, we\u2019ve learned to pay attention to stories that follow a somewhat predictable structure\u2014one that Brunson\u2019s techniques adhere to.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1: The Introduction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Start by telling your audience your framework\u2019s name and then giving some background about what your life was like before you came up with your idea (your \u201coriginal world,\u201d in storytelling language). Mention the problems you faced\u2014both externally, like financial struggles, and internally, like having a fear of never reaching your potential<\/a>. Brunson advises that the problems you name should be similar to problems your audience faces, so they\u2019ll identify with you and your process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, mention some things you did to try to resolve your problems but weren\u2019t successful at (for example, maybe you tried selling dog-training services but couldn\u2019t get your business off the ground).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: This step is aimed at helping your audience identify with you, which many sales professionals agree is the key to encouraging sales. In New Sales. Simplified<\/em><\/a>., Mike Weinberg writes that the problem with most presentations is the salesperson launches into a speech focusing on the company and its products rather than on the customer and their needs<\/a>. Customers will instinctively resist this kind of pitch because it won\u2019t seem relevant to them. Brunson\u2019s method of naming the challenges they\u2019ve faced and exploring the fact that, like you, they\u2019ve struggled to overcome them is a time-tested way to shift the focus onto them and prevent that resistance.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2: The Journey and Conflict<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In this step, you\u2019ll describe the inspiration that started you on the path toward your idea. For example, maybe someone asked you why you aren\u2019t targeting pet stores, and that got you thinking about the potential of that business model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Then, describe the obstacles you faced\u2014perhaps your attempts to contact pet stores were ignored, or your initial classes went poorly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Also, mention in this step what you stood to lose if you failed\u2014the stakes of your story. Were you close to being evicted from your apartment? Would you not be able to afford grad school if you couldn\u2019t develop this source of income?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: This step is where, in terms of storytelling, you jump out of Act 1 and into the more active Act 2<\/a>, where you purposefully start working toward a goal (prompted in Brunson\u2019s structure by an outside suggestion), and you increase the tension (Brunson\u2019s \u201cstakes\u201d). This keeps your story moving and also keeps your audience attentive, as they may lose interest unless they sense increased risks to your character<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 3: The New Opportunity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In this step, you\u2019ll discuss the epiphany you had that led you to your solution. You\u2019ll talk about the expert who guided you to your aha moment, the realization itself, and the new opportunity you developed based on this epiphany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, you could tell them about the zookeeper who taught you how to speak an animal\u2019s language, and your aha moment when you realized that if you could teach others how to speak dog<\/em>, your dog training classes would take off. Then you\u2019d describe the dog dictionary you wrote and the audiobooks you recorded as part of your training classes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: This step aligns with the \u201cmidpoint\u201d of a traditional storytelling structure, which is when, halfway through your tale, you reveal a momentous discovery<\/a> that marks the point when your main character shifts from reactive to proactive<\/a>. At the midpoint, your hero recognizes the truth of their situation and how to work toward a solution. In Brunson\u2019s structure, this realization, or epiphany, likewise tells of the moment when you stopped reacting to the hand you were dealt (as in the previous step, where you were still making poor choices that led nowhere) and instead came up with a new idea that allowed you to take control of your situation\u2014your new opportunity.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 4: The Framework<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Here you\u2019ll describe the framework you\u2019ve developed to accompany your product. You\u2019ll start by outlining it in broad strokes, touching on its goal and the main steps needed to achieve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Brunson warns that if you\u2019re using this Epiphany Bridge to sell your product<\/a> to potential customers, you shouldn\u2019t go into further details in this step. Outline your framework\u2019s strategy but not the specific tactics and techniques within it. Only describe the specific techniques to customers who have already purchased your product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: Oren Klaff likewise advises that when describing your offer, you should only mention the highlights<\/a> so as to grab your audience\u2019s attention but not overwhelm them with details that won\u2019t appeal to their primitive croc brain. He recommends that you structure this overall description in a slightly different way than Brunson does, using this format: \u201cThis is for [target customers] who are unsatisfied with [current market options]. My idea is a [new product or category] that provides [key benefit]. Unlike [competitors], my idea [has these key features].\u201d While this structure doesn\u2019t touch on the steps your customer would take to adopt your idea, it\u2019s another way to give a brief overview of your idea\u2019s functionality and purpose.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Brunson argues that withholding information is not just a way to protect sales, but more importantly, it\u2019s a way to convince people to adopt your ideas. It\u2019s a quirk of human nature that if people are told everything they need to know upfront, they\u2019ll listen, nod, and then go on about their lives as usual. It\u2019s only when you create excitement and desire but don\u2019t<\/em> tell them everything they need to know that they\u2019ll be motivated to fully buy into your program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Thus, he writes that the only way to create true, lasting excitement for your product is to withhold the details of how it works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: Psychologists offer some reasons why withholding the details of your offer may increase your audience\u2019s interest: It can cause cognitive dissonance\u2014mental discomfort that occurs when you harbor conflicting emotions or thoughts<\/a>. In this case, your customer will feel (on one hand) the desire to find out more and (on the other hand) frustration at not knowing more. When people have this sort of mental discomfort, they instinctively try to fix it, which may lead them to pursue your idea so they find out more and therefore resolve the frustration they feel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 5: The Successes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In the final step, talk about how your framework and product have helped you achieve your goals<\/a>, both internal and external. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Then, lastly, discuss how your framework has helped others\u2014this offers the ultimate proof of your concept. People are likely to be skeptical<\/a> of any service or product if you can only show that it\u2019s worked for you<\/em>\u2014they\u2019ll assume you have special circumstances that helped it be successful (for example, maybe dogs in your training classes pay attention to you because you naturally smell like raw beef\u2014it\u2019s only when you can point to others who successfully trained their dogs using your dog-language lessons that your program will seem credible). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: Weinberg agrees that an important characteristic of a good sales story<\/a> is that it\u2019s reality-based<\/a>. If your story isn\u2019t backed up by a provable track record, it won\u2019t capture your audience\u2019s attention. He notes that another drawback of pushing a sales message that\u2019s not backed by experience is that it can be embarrassing and demotivating for salespeople to deliver\u2014they don\u2019t want to be associated with a message that sounds phony any more than your customers do. By mentioning the success of others, you can position your idea as reality-based and you can tap into what Robert Cialdini calls, in Influence<\/em><\/a>, your audience\u2019s desire for social proof<\/a>: the human instinct to decide what\u2019s right based on what others think.) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
