How Playing “Hard to Get” Can Boost Your Launch Sales

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about why pre-launch works so well—and honestly, it’s not just about strategy or content.  It comes down to something much simpler (and more human): autonomy. In this episode, I’m breaking down why giving your audience space to make their own decisions actually leads to more sales, better clients, and way less stress in your launches. Inside this episode: * Why autonomy is the real driver behind buying decisions * The fastest way to kill demand (and what to do instead) * How pre-launch creates more motivated, ready-to-buy clients * Why “playing hard to get” might actually be a smart strategy * How better decisions lead to better testimonials, referrals, and results If your launches have ever felt pushy, exhausting, or inconsistent, this might shift how you think about everything.
