Episode notes

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with Expert Sales Copywriter, Alyson Lex.

Alyson helps course creators, experts, and coaches sell more of their product. Her impact with this is being able to help her clients sell products that could potentially benefit many other individuals. Good copywriters should be able to adapt to the needs of their clients and understand their clients' audience. Alyson explains that many clients need extra help with understanding strategy within their marketing. The process of hiring a copywriter varies from person to person. Alyson advises to look at samples from the copywriters to see what resonates, look for high recommendations, and use conversation to take the possible relationship further.

Alyson explains that manipulative copy can work in some areas but it does not work as much as it used to. Good copywriters should be able to show their client where to enter the conversation with their specific copy. The process with copy is to ease the sales process to make it smoother for the business. Alyson explains that talking about yourself too early and too often in a copy is a telltale sign of an inexperienced copywriter. The business should not be talked about until the solution of the problem is introduced because the setting needs to come first to set the stage for the solution. Alyson explains that overediting and over formality are a downside as they take away the humanistic value of the business. The process of working with Alyson is completely custom based on the clients needs. Alyson explains most of her work starts with an introduction call to gather information. From there she will either write a copy if it's short term, or write a copy as well as provide coaching if it is a longer term deal.
