ATTRACT
ATTRACT (Elevate Reach) – Finding, Engaging, and Identifying Your Ideal Prospects
Level 1 Overview: ATTRACT – Turning Strangers into Known Leads
Welcome to Part 2 of the Elevate Ecommerce Framework. Having constructed your FOUNDATION (Part 1, Chapters 2-5), establishing deep clarity on your Company, Market, and Customer, and forging your Strategic Blueprint, we now transition from planning to focused action. It’s time to put that intelligence to work and initiate the customer journey with Level 1: ATTRACT.
The Primary Objective: Elevate Reach, Systematically.
The overarching goal of the ATTRACT level is deceptively simple yet fundamentally crucial: to systematically find and connect with your ideal prospects and convert their initial attention into identifiable leads within your ecosystem. If this level fails, the rest of the framework has no one to CONVERT or GROW.
This isn’t about scattergun marketing or chasing vanity metrics like unqualified website traffic. It’s about precision and efficiency:
- Finding the Right People: Locating your specific Customer Avatar where they already are (informed by your FIND strategy within FOUNDATION).
- Capturing Relevant Attention: Using compelling messaging (HOOK) that resonates immediately with their context and needs.
- Offering Tangible Value: Providing an irresistible GIFT that solves a specific problem and demonstrates your expertise.
- Securing Permission: Smoothly converting interest into an opted-in lead (IDENTIFY) who has given you permission to communicate further.
Successfully navigating the ATTRACT level means building a predictable pipeline of qualified leads genuinely interested in what you offer.
The Three Steps of Attraction:
This level consists of three sequential, interconnected steps:
- Step 1: HOOK (Chapter 7): This is your initial strike. Leveraging your Foundation insights and FIND strategy, you’ll craft powerful, context-aware messages designed to stop your ideal customer in their tracks on your chosen channels and make them pay attention. Output: High-impact hook assets (headlines, openers, titles).
- Step 2: GIFT (Chapter 8): With attention secured, you immediately offer undeniable value. You’ll design and present a high-value lead magnet that solves a specific problem highlighted by the HOOK, building trust and solidifying interest. Output: Irresistible lead magnet and optimised landing page/promotional copy.
- Step 3: IDENTIFY (Chapter 9): The crucial conversion point of this level. You’ll implement a seamless, low-friction process to capture the contact information of prospects eager to receive your GIFT, turning anonymous interest into a known, tagged lead in your system. Output: An optimised lead capture mechanism integrated with your ESP/CRM.
Why This Sequence Matters:
Following this specific order – HOOK, then GIFT, then IDENTIFY – is critical for building momentum effectively:
- You can’t offer a GIFT effectively if you haven’t first captured relevant attention with a HOOK.
- Prospects are unlikely to IDENTIFY themselves (provide contact info) unless they perceive significant value in the GIFT being offered.
Each step builds upon the previous one, creating a logical flow that respects the prospect’s journey from initial awareness to expressed interest.
Connecting ATTRACT to the Overall System:
The ATTRACT level is the engine that feeds your entire growth system. The quality and quantity of leads generated here directly impact the potential success of the subsequent CONVERT and GROW levels.
- Foundation Fuel: Every step within ATTRACT is powered by the clarity achieved in your Foundation Blueprint.
- AI Acceleration: The AI Prompt Playbook provides specific prompts tailored for the tasks within HOOK, GIFT, and IDENTIFY, dramatically speeding up asset creation (headlines, Gift ideas, landing page copy, opt-in messages).
- Bridge to Conversion: Successfully identified leads from this level are the direct input for the NURTURE sequences (Step 6) and the target audience for your optimised SELL environment (Step 5).
What to Expect in Part 2:
In the following three chapters (7, 8, and 9), we will dissect each step – HOOK, GIFT, and IDENTIFY – in detail. For each step, we will cover:
- The specific objective and underlying strategy.
- How to leverage your Foundation insights.
- Practical implementation tactics.
- How to use the AI Prompt Playbook to accelerate execution.
- Key metrics for measuring success at that stage.
- The tangible outputs you will create.
By the end of Part 2, you will have built the complete top section of your Elevate growth engine – a systematic process for reliably attracting and identifying qualified leads for your ecommerce business.
