Simple words = More money (here's how) 💪


Hey Reader!

Your website? It’s not just eye candy. Those ads? Not just background noise. And those fancy pages? They’re not there to look pretty.

Nope. They’re your 24/7 sales team. And it’s high time they started pulling their weight!

Ready to turn your snooze-fest copy into a sales-generating machine? Let’s dive into 10 quick checks that’ll do just that:

1. The 5-Second Test

Picture this: A busy exec, coffee in hand, glancing at your site. Can they grasp your value before that first sip?

If not, it’s back to the drawing board.

Try this:
❌ “We make IT better”
✅ “We slash your IT costs by 40% - guaranteed.”

2. The “So What?” Game

Channel your inner toddler. After each sentence, ask “So what?”

Can’t answer? Hit that delete button!

Let’s play with an AI company pitch:

“Our AI uses smart maths.”
So what?
“Our AI spots market changes early.”
So what?
“You can see what customers will want next.”
So what?
“You’ll have the right stuff in stock at the right time.”
So what?
“You’ll waste less and save money.”
So what?
“You’ll make 30% more money on each sale.”
So what?
“You’ll outperform competitors and be the industry leader.”

Now we’re cooking! See how we zoomed from tech babble to real business impact? That’s the magic of “So what?”

3. Headline Bonanza

First thought ≠ best thought. Whip up 10 headlines. Then, play matchmaker with your audience.

❌ “New Business Solutions”
✅ “Close Deals 50% Faster: The Tool Your Competitors Fear”

4. Jargon Detector

Big words don’t make you sound smart. They make you sound… well, confusing.

Unless you’re chatting with experts, keep it simple!

❌ “We boost inter-team efficiency”
✅ “We help your teams work better together, getting more done.”

5. Speak Customer

Raid those reviews and case studies. Your happy customers often explain your value better than you ever could!

“It’s like having a crystal ball for our growth strategy!” - Jane Doe, CEO at Industry Corp

6. Crystal Clear CTA

Your call-to-action should be impossible to miss. Think less “Learn More” and more “Start Saving Millions Today!”

7. Emotion Station

Being professional doesn’t mean being a robot. Show the joy, relief, or pride your product brings!

“Lead with ease, knowing you’re always three steps ahead of market trends.”

8. Before & After Magic

Paint a vivid picture: life before and after your product. Make that difference pop!

Before: Drowning in data, missing opportunities. After: Clear insights, record-breaking growth.

9. Proof in the Pudding

Sprinkle those testimonials like confetti! Let your happy customers do the heavy lifting.

“Join the 500+ industry leaders who’ve increased productivity by 35% with our solution.”

10. One-Sentence Wonder

Condense your entire offer into one punchy sentence. It’s tough, but it forces clarity.

“We turn your business mess into money-making insights.”


Remember, in the world of business, your words are more than just… well, words.

They build trust. Show off your skills. And drive those big money decisions.

So, is your writing working overtime, or is it slacking off?

Time to sharpen that copy and watch those sales soar! 📈

Hey Reader, Yesterday I was sitting at my desk checking my LinkedIn engagement data (yes, I'm that person ), and I've discovered something fascinating about what's actually driving leads (not just likes). But first, the biggest realisation of all: Stop writing for everyone. Write for ONE person - the one you really want to work with. Yes, it feels terrifying. Yes, your reach might drop. But when your DM inbox fills with messages from exactly the right people because they self-identified with...

Hey Reader, Quick question: are we all overthinking AI? Last week, I watched a client struggle with their "advanced AI workflow system" (their words, not mine 😅). They had: 36 different prompts in Notion 3 different AI tools running at once A complex "content optimisation" process But you know what? Their best-performing content came from a simple chat with their audience. It got me thinking... Maybe we're making AI way more complicated than it needs to be. (You've seen those "10X YOUR...

I've been geeking out over AI tools for social selling (and yes, binge-watching Netflix, but that's another story 🤓). And you know what? I've discovered one thing I absolutely refuse to give up in 2024... My obsession with finding ways to get MORE sales with LESS social media time. You know those magical moments?
