Main Discussion Points:

- Using words that focus on the benefit to the recipient rather than words about the action itself can increase CTA click-through rates by over 20%

- CTAs should highlight what's in it for the prospect or customer by clearly stating the offer or benefit

- Avoid generic verbs like "submit", "download", "register" - these are overused and don't compel action

- Restate the offer in your CTA language to reinforce the benefit

- CTAs can be full sentences or phrases, not just single words

- Use AI tools like ChatGPT to easily generate new CTA language
