Say...
"You will be pleased to discover..."
Instead of:
"Our staff is experienced..."
Say...
"Your questions will be handled by qualified, experienced people..."
Instead of...
"We guarantee that our product will..."
Say...
"You will love
XR250 model, or you will receive double your money back!"
Does
wording make more sense?
When you write a sales letter, copy for a website or email, put yourself in
mindset of
reader of your letter. You should constantly say to yourself:
"What's In It For Me?"
It's
oldest lesson in sales. Maybe you've heard it this way: "What's
radio station everyone listens to?"
"WII FM" (What's in it for me?")
If you aren't consistently telling
reader what's in it for her, she won't read your letter, brochure, email, etc.
To help you get
best results with your copy, here's something you can do that I learned from one of my teachers.
After writing your copy, go back and highlight each-and-every "I," "we," "our," and "us." Then, re-write each sentence with a "you attitude."
Let your prospects know you care about their interests. Speak in terms of
benefits they will receive. Tell them what is in it for them. Because, they do not and will not care about you, until they know how much you care about them.
