>>  Need to compel people to take action?

>> Want your website to work harder to sell?

>> Want to package and streamline your services?

This is a sales page. Every page with a dollar symbol is a sales page. Every page which lists your services is a sales page. Every time you use writing to compel people to take action – to buy, register interest, book now, pay now – you’re writing sales copy. And these words are the difference between tonnes of new clients … or crickets.

Words are expensive, are you using yours effectively?

Your clients need to understand the value of what you sell

 

Far too many businesses assume far too much on behalf of their prospects. And these assumptions cost money.

We need to skilfully communicate the value of what we sell. It’s our responsibility to deeply understand exactly how our services translate into making our clients’ lives easier, more effective and efficient, more enjoyable.

But when we’re immersed in our business, it can be very hard to see the wood for the trees.

In fact, many talented and highly experienced professionals are terrible at communicating value – they know their subject so well that they’ve lost the ability to make it accessible to other people. But value can be communicated – first through understanding the building blocks, and then by artfully constructing them into magnetic, compelling, human language.

If you’re selling services, you’re selling promises.

You need to dig into the building blocks of communicating value to help your prospective clients to understand. Regardless of how obscure what you do is, I guarantee you can quantify and qualify your value.

Weave your magic with magnetic language

Data doesn’t sell by itself – we are human and humans are emotional. Learn how to combine your building blocks of value with magnetic language, evocative imagery and compelling propositions.

Tapping into empathy and emotional intelligence, we use our wordsmithery powers for good, helping prospects to decide whether they’re in or out, without resorting to heavy-handed fear tactics and dishonesty.

 

Integrity ensures we build trust and create sustainable businesses that are here for the long-term. 

Your sales page is where all your marketing efforts come to fruition

 

Without sales pages on your site, you’re relying on word-of-mouth recommendations and random encounters, which is fickle and unscalable. Without sales pages, your sales process needs to be face-to-face, making it difficult to scale.

If you’re doing digital marketing, all roads lead to your sales pages – and these need to perform.

Let me show you how to take new people, who’ve never heard of you before, and convert them into new paying clients, without a face-to-face meeting or phone conversation.

Learning how to write effective, compelling sales pages enables you to reach into the minds and hearts of strangers and compel them to take action. This skill may be the most valuable one a business owner has – you’re literally turning words into money.

The Writing Sales Pages (that sell!) course was highly targeted and very practical. The immediate access to the first lesson, and tasks in between the two live sessions meant the learning could be implemented straight away. Having thorough notes and a ‘recipe’ to follow made it easy to get the thing done. I’ve left courses before with bags of good intentions. I left this one with a draft of my sales page ready to go. That’s value!  It was great to learn that marketing yourself doesn’t need to be cheesy or uncomfortable – that in fact, selling who you really are is the way to go. Focusing on the potential client’s problem and how to solve it makes for sales copy that’s both helpful and authentic.

Important! You don’t have to have your “thing” ready to sell!

Writing your sales page first can give you focus and momentum to follow through and create the ‘thing’. Most businesses leave marketing until way too late. Let me share the lean launch method which minimising your risk while maximising your likelihood for success.

Especially if you want to sell through your website, this course is for you. If you’re selling, or want to be selling, online courses or programs, books, or services through the internet, you’ll find this course invaluable.

About the presenter, Brook McCarthy

Hi! I’m Brook McCarthy. I’ve been working in professional communications (first in Public Relations, then publishing, then digital marketing) for 18 years, working closely with clients that range from large multi-nationals to one (wo)man bands.

I’ve written countless sales pages, direct sales emails and marketing campaigns, sales proposals and more sales emails and email funnels than I can count.

Since 2012, I’ve run both face-to-face and online courses on digital marketing to equip and empower participants with the tools, knowledge and perspective to combine creativity with smart business strategy.

Learning how to write sales copy effectively is a powerful tool for your business and creativity, helping make all your marketing efforts profitable. Learning to write sales copy includes the skilful combination of empathy, customer data, creativity, storytelling, conversion copy writing and cultivating trust.

In this course, we’re not just learning sales copy writing, we’re also learning how to create a lean, effective marketing campaign.

I did it! I wrote my sales page. I loved the accountability, the practical guide to taking the steps and the encouragement from Brook and the group it get it done. It’s given me some great skills as well for future sales pages, it was the structure that I really needed!  Thanks Brook. Highly recommended.
