How Do Metaphors and Similes Help You Sell More?

Remember 11th grade English class?

I do… my teacher’s name was Mrs. Wilson. She was very cool and took a special interest in me.

Even though I didn’t get all A’s, she told me I should take the test for Advanced Placement English for my senior year. “If you’d just apply yourself Mr. Edwards, I believe you’d go places!”

More than one teacher told me that along the way… but I digress.

Metaphors and Similes. What are they and why do they matter?

For all intents and purposes, they are the exact same thing. But, in honor of Mrs. Wilson I’ll summarize the difference:

A simile uses the word like or as to compare things – “The wind is blowing like a hurricane out there!”

In contrast, metaphors directly state the comparison – “Life is pain.”

The purpose of both similes and metaphors is to create a mental picture of people to easily understand and quickly grasp, especially when it comes to a complex or convoluted issue or concept.

They allow you to condense minutes of video or several pages of text into a single thought.

Probably the most famous metaphor in movie history is “Mama said, life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”

That statement summarizes entire books of philosophy into a metaphor that everyone in the target audience can understand.

You can use metaphors and similes in your sales copy to explain concepts fast and keep your prospects moving down the greased chute of your presentation.

Here’s an easy formula I picked up from my buddy, Russell Brunson.

“It’s kinda like _____.”

It’s kinda like riding a bike. (Explaining a technique that, once you get it, you’ll always have it.)

It’s kinda like a sandwich. (Explaining anything that has multiple steps in a process.)

It’s kinda like brushing your teeth. (Explaining something you need to do every day)

That’s the simplest way to put metaphors and similes to work to help you sell more and make more money.

Oh, and one more thing. As far as remembering the difference between metaphors and similes, it kinda doesn’t matter! 🙂

Have a great weekend!

Jim
