Episode notes
INSIGHT

Copy Is About The Prospect, Not The Product

  • Copy should not be about features or vague benefits; it must reflect a prospect's specific pains and desires.
  • Targeted messaging to one precise customer type beats fuzzy, middle-of-the-road copy every time.
ADVICE

Research Their Words, Not Just Problems

  • Do research to capture both the unique pains/desires and the exact words prospects use to describe them.
  • When you mirror prospect language, your message resonates emotionally and requires no translation.
ADVICE

Interview Customers And Harvest Phrases

  • Do customer interviews and record their exact phrasing; ask what led them to buy and what worried them about trying it.
  • Use repeated unexpected phrases from multiple interviews as high-value copy triggers.
