Key Takeaways
-
Writer’s block tends to come from you not knowing the right details about your customer. If you’re not writing details you can use directly in your copy, you’re writing fiction.
- Don’t assume prospects know what the name of your product or service means. Never underestimate how a few missing details from your copy can make your offer invisible.
-
You don’t have to call out the competition. Just highlight frustrations and show how you’re different to help convince prospects to switch from a competitor.
