Getting people to buy from you is not just about having a quality product, but it's also about project it in a good light to your target audience. Here's an article that talks about a few psychological sales tips that will help you achieve a higher number of sales through your copy.

People like to buy products they can feel - something they can hear, touch, see, taste or smell. Before the whole buying process is triggered their minds go through this internal analysis of the product where they judge it on various levels based on their sense. This is exactly why some people never make a purchase online because they don't get to examine the product they're buying, they don't have it in their hands to feel it before actually buying it. Some products such as eBooks or CDs are easier to sell online because there's not much doubt about the physical quality. Until people have already have had a satisfactory experience in the past, it would be difficult to make the sale for such products. Try to analyze how people shop for products in a store, and find out if you could give them the same kind of experience through your sales page. Most people these days follow the crowd when it comes to making a buying decision, which is why they are more focused towards seeing what the others are saying about product and if they are satisfied. This is because a majority of the people aren't trend setters, but rather imitators. We look up to others to find our guidance, and that's how it usually works. How the others think and react is of utmost important these days, which is why we do things accordingly. And this is exactly why testimonials and case studies happen to be so influential. See if you're injecting in the 'crowd' factor into your copy to grab the sales, and pull in targeted crowds to your product.

Even if you're successful at overcoming all the other reasons that lead to a "no", your efforts will fall flat on the face if your prospect doesn't trust you. You will obviously get a big no, if you can't bring in the trustworthiness factor into play. We all come across people that we can't get to trust, and it's impossible doing any business with them. So if your copy is struggling to get your prospects to trust you then it's very obvious that you'll struggle to make sales. Your success depends on how well you build strong relationships with your target audience, and getting them to know you, like you and trust you. Getting your prospects to trust you and buy from you may not happen overnight, so focus on building a higher trust level with your prospects through repeated positive exposure to your business. Do whatever you can to get your target audience to count on you, no matter what.
