If your business is stuck in low ticket, you may be funding your own slow decline. Kyle Kostechka, former ClickBank performance marketing leader and advisor at Trident Growth, makes the case for why high ticket has shifted from "nice to have" to essential in this economy and what that means for how you buy traffic, build funnels, and think about 2026.
=================================
What you'll learn:
- Why targeting premium buyers is now a survival strategy, not just a growth lever, and how the current economy backs that up with data
- How a $27 front end product can justify a $200 CPA when the high ticket backend is structured correctly
- The types of high ticket offers almost any business can bolt on right now: coaching, done-for-you, access, masterminds, and premium customization
- Why Meta's Andromeda update is penalizing aggressive VSLs and what a compliant, converting funnel actually looks like in 2026
- Why Connected TV is the most underpriced paid media inventory available right now and how to get in before the big budgets follow
- How Kyle's team deployed an AI support agent that took a Hebrew-speaking customer from a 2 AM refund request to buying more products
