Writers When Selling or Seeking to Change Opinion Choose Your Words Carefully Here’s How

Value = Price + Reliability + Convenience

1. Focus on benefits, not features. On results, not process

2. Tell stories, not concepts

3. Stay in touch with your clients with newsletters, eZines, and invitations to
presentations to keep information flowing.

4. Tell people what they will get, not what you do.

5.Talk about the client, not about yourself

6. Do not we-we all over your self.
(Marketing consultant Mac McIntosh describes it as “we-we-weing all over
yourself.”)

7. WIIFM (What’s In It For Me)

8. Be a solution, a resource to your clients. (from WAE)

Novelty, offer something new or offer a new definition or a new take on an old idea Sound and texture matter should be just as memorable as the words themselves. A string of words that have the same first letter, the same sound, or the same syllabic cadence is more memorable than a random collection of sounds. Your messages need to say what people want to hear.
