Persuasive Copywriting Technique 2_ Write to a Real Person
Do you talk with your grandmother the same way you talk with your 28-year-old neighbor who works at the auto shop down the road?

Or do you carry on a conversation with your daughter's college professor the same way you talk with the checkout gal in the grocery store?

Selling Your Services

Bob Bly
Bob Bly
I'm not a marketer. In fact, my degree is in classical music. But Bob Bly's Selling Your Services helped me get my first writing clients.

We all know that business is incredibly competitive today. It's important to be good at your craft and deliver superior service, but these things alone are no longer enough to ensure your continued success.
 
Those who make the most money in any field, industry, or profession are not necessarily those who have the most knowledge, are most experienced in their craft, or sell the highest quality service. No, those who make the most money, charge the top fees, and are constantly in demand are those who are best at selling and marketing themselves!

It doesn't matter what you are selling - professional, creative, trade, or technical services - or what your profession is. Bob Bly's 5-step Selling Your Services process is packed with business-building selling techniques that will enable you to gain the selling skills you need to be more confident in selling, enjoy it more, generate a flood of leads and inquiries for your services, stand out from your competition, and get more and better clients to hire you, more often, for bigger fees.
 
Now you can increase your personal income simply by becoming much more effective at selling your services to potential clients, at the fees you want to charge.  For more info about Selling Your Services (and to receive 2 free bonus CDs), click here.
