What to Write About

❝

If you have a question, chances are someone else has that same question.

Every teacher

Whenever you struggle to think of what to write or say…

…for your marketing materials, a presentation, blog, or newsletter, it pays to remember your teachers’ advice.

And the best place to start isn’t creating a survey. Or firing up ChatGPT.

Start with conversations you’ve had with real prospects and clients. Look in your email Sent folder. Think back to the last sales call you had. The last phone call with your favorite client.

Or your latest lesson from the School of Hard Knocks.

Because your teacher was right. Plenty of your prospects have those same questions.

They may just be too afraid to ask.
