Why the final phase of a launch is crucial
Have the article read aloud.
I recently launched my new video training on TYPO3 13. If you were there, you probably noticed that I really stepped on the gas in the last two days - on social media and by email. Some found it a bit "much". I can understand that. But I'd like to explain why I'm doing it this way and why it works.
Why people hesitate until the last minute
The clocks tick differently in the final phase of a launch. People hesitate. Even if they find an offer interesting, they often think: "I'll do it later." But "later" is usually never. Memories shortly before the end ensure that this "later" becomes a clear "Yes, I'm in".
How many people took the course in the last few hours of my launch? Quite a lot. And that's not an exception, it's the rule. The same thing happens in every sales phase. Most people simply can't make up their minds earlier. Things only get serious when the deadline is just around the corner.
Why I make intensive use of emails and posts in this phase
This also explains why I send two to three emails a day during this phase and why I have a strong presence on social media. A single email can generate several thousand euros in sales - and it often determines whether someone takes the opportunity or not.
Would I be stupid not to do this? Honestly, yes.
It's easy for me to write such emails and posts because I know that my offer is good. Those who need it benefit from it. Those who don't need it scroll on or delete the email - and that's completely fine. My job is to reach those who are wavering. The hesitant, undecided people who are ultimately glad that I reminded them.
Not every complaint counts
Yes, sometimes a few people complain. I accept that. Because for every complaint, there are many who are grateful - and who took the step that they later didn't regret thanks to that very email or post.
So if you ever have the feeling that someone is posting too much or sending too many emails: look at it from a different perspective. Maybe you are not the target person. Maybe it's just about reaching someone who still needs that little push.
My conclusion: it's worth turning up the volume
In the end, what counts for me is that my TYPO3 training reaches the right people - those who will benefit from it. And if that means turning up the volume in the last few days, then that's what I'll do. Again and again.

Hi, I am Wolfgang.
Since 2006, I've been diving deep into the fascinating world of TYPO3 - it's not only my profession, but also my passion. My path has taken me through countless projects, and I have created hundreds of professional video tutorials focusing on TYPO3 and its extensions. I love unraveling complex topics and turning them into easy-to-understand concepts, which is also reflected in my trainings and seminars.
As an active member of the TYPO3 Education Committee, I am committed to keeping the TYPO3 CMS Certified Integrator exam questions current and challenging. Since January 2024, I am proud to be an official TYPO3 Consultant Partner!
But my passion doesn't end at the screen. When I'm not diving into the depths of TYPO3, you'll often find me on my bike, exploring the picturesque trails around Lake Constance. These outdoor excursions are my perfect balance - they keep my mind fresh and always provide me with new ideas.
