As a sales person you are very much aware that your sales copy and sales letter writing skills are what sell. Copywriting is the utmost importance to you and your future success. This is the truth of selling, your word, either spoken or written. In this day when the greatest sales tool is the internet, good writing skills are becoming that much more of a must.
This leaves you, the sales person, and the marketer, with only a couple of choices when it comes to your written presentation. You can pay for copywriting or you can do copywriting.
Purchasing good quality sales letters that are written to your specifications and needs can be costly. As the buyer you need to remember that you need to own the words not rent them. Without you realizing it your ghostwriter can use already written copy. They can borrow what they have already sold to your competition. They can plagiarize, which is so easy to do in this fast paced computer age. The possibility is great for your ghostwriter not to deliver on what is promised or hold true to the agreed contract. You pay more and get far less that what you had hoped for. Once the money is spent it is gone.
You pay good money and receive a sales letter that just can not sell. The sales copy is not you it is not from you. The sales message is not from your heart. Your newly purchased sales pitch is broken before you put it into action. In another word it is garbage. Open the window and let your hard earned money fly away. What a waste, a wasted budget. You spent time arranging with your writer. You spent time developing an angle for your Copywriter to attack from. Then you spent hard won money on something that is doomed to fail.
Of course it is possible for you to succeed when hiring an experienced sales letter writer. There are many outstanding ghostwriters. You can get what you pay for. There are many hired copywriters who will make you thrive and be the hero to your clientele as well as to the ones who depend on your sales skills. However this does cost you a good deal of money. Quality written word does not come to you cheaply.
Yes, you can spend as little as a couple of dollars for a mildly written sales letter. However you get what you pay for. On a general bases you will pay somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 – 20 cents per word for sales copy that might work. That’s somewhere between 20 and 75 dollars for an effort. There are no guarantees on what you are given. Revisions will cost you more as you work out the bugs of the copy.
There is one key element that is missing from the ghost’s copywriting.
YOU!
Your heart is not there. Your presence is missing. You have stepped away and your future clientele will become aware of that as they get to know you and your services. You are what you are really selling. Heart is where true marketing lies. Heart is your worth and your integrity. Heart and you is what sells.
Not everyone is an automatic quality writer without having a helpful training program. Copywriting skills are learned and perfected over time. But your heart will always show through even as you practice and learn. Creating your own written word takes practice. However, your heart is always there.
All you need is
A computer
A quiet place
Quiet time
Heart
Desire
A computer is easy. As an online marketer you already have that. You have the time and place for your office space as well. Quiet is not always easy but the place and time can be found. You have a heart and the will. Now share yourself with the people you wish to sell to. You have the desire to give yourself to your customers. Now you need the skills to do your own copywriting. Now is the right time to get quality training.
These skills are taught and learned. The basics are simple; understand your product, understand your customers, tell your customers why they should trust you, what are the benefits of trusting and purchasing from you. This is your heart. This is what people really buy. Customers buy trust, truth, and integrity. They buy you.
Learning and practice bring you as the sales letter writer closer to being a Copywriting Pro. Your professional aptitude really does matter to your future customers and clientele. Become the best that you can. Write from your heart. Give from your heart. Your success is in your hands.
You can pay for copywriting or you can do the copywriting. Purchasing good quality sales letters that are written to your specifications and needs can be costly. Purchased words miss the most important element of your sales copy. Your clientele purchase you. You have to put yourself into your copywriting material. Success will be yours.
