Imagine you’re at a bar on a Saturday night and a stranger walks up to you. They introduce themselves, and then start rambling on about their life story--where they grew up, where they got their degree from, and what they do for a living.
And suddenly you know how to fall asleep with your eyes open.
The truth is, bad website and email copy is that sleazy guy or girl at the bar you try to avoid at all costs. So if your copy is putting your prospects to sleep, they’re not very likely to buy from you.
But there’s hope. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to write words that sell without being scammy--no matter what your writing skills are.
You’ll learn:
The #1 trick to finding the right words that persuade your audience (most companies skip this!)
How to put your copy to the test to make sure it’s really giving you a significant lift in conversions
Examples of bad copy to avoid like the plague on your website and emails (you might be guilty of these!)
