Easy setup, easy money

That’s why WikiHow, the world’s most popular how-to site, keeps it simple with Google AdSense: “All you do is drop a little code on your website and Google AdSense immediately starts working.”
The TL;DR? You focus on creating. Google AdSense handles the rest.
Start earning the easy way with AdSense.
Your prospect describes their current challenge. They see today's pain, but not tomorrow's disaster.
Walk them up the ladder.
Your Framework:
Start with their present situation. Acknowledge what's happening now.
Then, guide them forward through time using progressive questions:
"If this continues, what happens next month?"
"What does this look like by end of quarter?"
"Where are you a year from now if nothing changes?"
Each answer becomes your next question's foundation. Their response to quarterly impact? Ask about annual consequences. Their concern about one department? Explore company-wide implications.
"And if that happens, what does it mean for your team? Your customers? Your budget?"
Why This Works:
Today's annoyance becomes tomorrow's crisis when viewed through time's lens. As prospects verbalize each escalating consequence, urgency compounds naturally. They're not hearing your predictions—they're voicing their own fears.
By the top of the ladder, they've convinced themselves that inaction isn't an option. No pressure tactics needed.
Action Step:
Map out a three-question implication ladder for your most common prospect challenge. Practice climbing it conversationally, letting each answer guide the next question.
The future they describe will motivate them more than any pitch you could deliver.
