3 Signs Your Offer Isn’t Working (and What to Do Instead)
You poured your heart into it.
You know it’s valuable.
But… it’s not selling.
Before you scrap it and start from scratch, let’s zoom out.
Because here’s the truth:
If your offer isn’t landing, it usually isn’t broken.
It’s just missing something—clarity, alignment, or connection.
Here are 3 common signs your offer isn’t working—and what to do instead of burning it all down.
1. You’re Getting Interest—But Not Conversions
You’re getting engagement.
People are curious.
They’re asking questions, maybe even joining your list…
But when you make the offer? Silence.
What’s usually happening:
The promise isn’t clear or compelling
The urgency doesn’t feel real
There’s no clear next step from your free content to the paid offer
What to do instead:
Audit your messaging. Does your offer solve a known problem?
Check the journey. Are you guiding people toward the sale—or hoping they figure it out?
✅ Reminder: A great offer still needs a great invitation.
2. You’re Getting Crickets—No Inquiries, No Clicks
If you’re talking about your offer and getting nothing back, it’s time to ask two questions:
Are you talking about it enough?
Are you saying it in a way that connects with what people actually want?
You might be selling the process (e.g. “6 coaching sessions”)…
when your audience wants the result (e.g. “Launch your dream offer”).
Or you might be leading with what you wish they cared about—instead of what they’re ready to say yes to.
What to do instead:
Focus on the transformation, not the tools
Mirror their own language—use their words, not industry terms
Anchor your offer in relevance and urgency
✅ If no one’s responding, don’t ditch the offer—reframe the story.
3. You Don’t Even Want to Sell It Anymore
This one’s big.
Maybe the offer is solid on paper—but it drains you.
You dread the delivery, procrastinate the promo, or feel out of sync with the whole thing.
That misalignment shows.
And your audience can feel it.
What to do instead:
Get honest: Is this still the offer you want to be known for?
Does the delivery model match your current energy and capacity?
Is this offer still aligned with your current vision—or is it a holdover?
✅ You don’t have to abandon it. But you may need to evolve it.
The Bottom Line?
If your offer isn’t converting, don’t panic.
And definitely don’t start over blindly.
Ask yourself:
Is the promise clear and relevant?
Is the messaging aligned with what people actually want?
Is this still the right offer for me?
Most offers don’t need a teardown.
They need a tune-up.
