Since my job is to persuade
your customers to buy from you, I need to
know them very well. So I don't just go
to Google and type in the subject matter,
copy and paste it into a Word processor
and paste chunks into your new copy. Heck,
why pay me when you can do that!
No, before I write a word I do a crash
course on your product/service.
Starting with getting as much information
from you as possible via the online form.
I want to know everything about your product/service.
Call it an interrogation if you will but
the more info I get, the better.
Another thing I do is open up the Yellow
Pages or I go online and contact your competitors.
Yes, intelligence gathering.
There is always one competitor that fesses
up some information that often proves to
be the golden key that unlocks your prospects
mind. Then I really hit the books. If relevant,
I read trade publications, magazines and
devour everything I can about your business.
Yes, there is a lot of time and research
invested doing these covert operations!
The alternative is getting copy that compensates
for the writers shortcomings. You as the
professional in your field will notice it
right away. I research things thoroughly
so the words talk to your clients fluidly
and directly.
