Pricing & Calls to Action

After the offer stack established the value and the guarantee removed the risk, your reader is thinking: “Okay, how much?”

The pricing section is where you state the number directly. Not apologetically. Not with a buildup. Just the price, clearly and confidently.

State the Price Directly

Don’t bury the price. Don’t make them email you for it. Don’t use “investment” as a euphemism (say “price” or “tuition” — people know what it costs to buy things).

$297

That’s it. Big, clear, unmistakable.

Underneath: what they get for that price. Reference the offer stack from the previous section. “Everything listed above — the full course, templates, community access, and bonuses — for $297.”

Payment Options

Offer at least two ways to pay:

Full payment: Single price, usually with a small discount. “Pay in full: $297 (save $90)”

Payment plan: Split into 2-4 payments. “3 payments of $129 ($387 total)”

The payment plan costs more in total — that’s intentional. It covers the risk of people not completing payments, and it rewards people who can pay in full. Both options should be clearly presented side by side.

The Call to Action

Right next to the price is your CTA button. This is the moment of truth — everything on your sales page builds toward the reader clicking this button.

call to action button examples with first-person phrasing

The words on your button matter more than the color.

First-Person Phrasing

Extensive testing across hundreds of thousands of landing pages shows that first-person CTAs outperform third-person ones.

Third-person (weak):

  • “Buy Now”
  • “Submit”
  • “Get Access”
  • “Sign Up”

First-person (strong):

  • “Yes, I Want In!”
  • “Start My Course”
  • “Enroll Me Now”
  • “I’m Ready to Launch”

First-person phrasing creates mental ownership. When someone reads “Start My Course,” their brain processes it as their course. Write your CTA as if the reader is saying it to themselves.

Benefit-Driven CTAs

Take it further by including the outcome in the button:

  • “Yes, I Want to Launch My Course!”
  • “Start Building My Email List Today”
  • “Give Me the Sales Page Template”

The button reinforces the transformation. The reader isn’t just clicking a button — they’re claiming a result.

Multiple CTA Placements

One CTA at the bottom of a long sales page means most people never see it. Place CTAs throughout:

  • After the hero section — for hot traffic ready to buy immediately
  • After social proof — for people who need evidence before acting
  • After the offer stack — for people sold on the value
  • After the FAQ — for people whose objections just got answered
  • At the very bottom — one final chance

Each CTA should look the same — consistent button, consistent phrasing. The reader should never have to search for how to enroll.

Sticky CTA Bars

On long sales pages, consider a sticky CTA bar that stays visible as the reader scrolls. It can appear after they’ve scrolled past the hero section and remain at the top or bottom of the screen.

This catches the impulse buyer who’s sold halfway through the page and doesn’t want to scroll back to find the button.

Button Design

The words matter most, but design plays a role:

  • High contrast — the button should stand out from the page background
  • Large enough to tap — especially important for mobile (at least 44x44 pixels)
  • Rounded corners — feels more clickable than sharp edges
  • A single color — pick one color that contrasts with your page

Don’t overthink the color. No credible test has shown that one button color dramatically outperforms another when the copy and placement are the same. Focus on contrast and clarity.

The Text Around the Button

Don’t just drop a button. Add context:

Above the button: A one-line summary. “Get the full course + all bonuses for $297.”

Below the button: A reassurance line. “30-day money-back guarantee. Secure checkout. Instant access.”

These two lines remove friction and build trust at the exact moment of decision.

The Checkout Page

What happens after they click? The checkout page should be:

  • Simple — name, email, payment. That’s it.
  • Fast — no account creation required. Let them set a password after they pay.
  • Trustworthy — security badges, payment processor logos, no distractions.
  • Mobile-friendly — if your sales page works on mobile but your checkout doesn’t, you lose them at the finish line.

Test your checkout flow yourself. On your phone. Time how long it takes. If it’s more than 60 seconds from button click to confirmation, simplify.

The Anti-Pattern

Don’t put “Book a Call” and “Buy Now” buttons next to each other. When people have two options, many choose neither. Pick one primary action.

If you offer both self-serve purchase and sales calls, put the purchase CTA on your sales page and offer the call option in a follow-up email to people who visited the page but didn’t buy.
