Copywriting Skills Can Get You Out of A Whole Heap
Of Trouble!
Did you know that if you can master the skills of
creating compelling presentations on paper, you can
literally get anything you want, or, can get out of
anything you don't want.
Here's an example:
Just recently, a copywriter friend of mine told me
a story that showed me in point blank terms, that writing
effectively, IS the biggest skill anyone should, and
can learn.
This chaps' wife was 'supposedly' registered as an
exhibitor at Olympia Earls Court, for an upcoming trade
exhibition.
Although she had exhibited at Earls Court(fashion accessories)
in their past trade fairs, she had no intention of participating
in the one that this email refers to.
Well, it turned out that although she didn't complete
any paper work, the Exhibition organisers insisted she
had completed the forms, and was chasing her for the
exhibitors fees.(£1745.00!)
The sad fact was the sales team were all nice and friendly
when it came to securing places and when taking money.
But, when they were faced with a situation where...
'no, we're not registered, so please don't ask us for
money', a different animal raised its head.
These people, in the twinkling of an eye, became rude,
demanding and plain obnoxious.
My friend's wife decided to handle affairs herself,
but, still being on maternity leave, found it all too
stressful to handle.
Here's what my copywriter friend did:
He by passed all the sales team, managers etc, and
addressed his communication to the Event Director, who
was the top dog, the numero uno, the big cheese.
In the SUBJECT LINE of the email he sent, he wrote...
(First name omitted here in this email for privacy)
"XXXX, I Bet You've Never Seen An Email Like This
From An Unhappy Client Before?"
He then went on to summarise the situation with the
sales team, and that how my friend and his wife were
so appalled at the way the sales team operated.
The killer bullet was fired when my friend said, if
you'll scroll below, you'll see something that will
be going out to all the trade press, the other exhibitors
in the event, BBC TV's Watchdog programme, the Which?
Magazine, the local and national press, and other interested
parties.
He wrote up the beginnings of press article that had
at the very top... "FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE".
The main BOLD headline in the press release said...
"Which Other Small Trade Exhibitors Has XXXXXXXX
Event Management Tried To Screw Money Out Of"?
What do think happened next?
An immediate email from the Director saying that he'll
look into things.
After a few more swapping of emails, the end result
was that the company withdrew their communications for
the £1740 exhibitors fees.
Now, the BIG LESSON in all this:
If one knows how to put words in a particular sequence,
to get the result they want, they can change their world.
What do you feel you want in life? Or, what do you
feel you want to get rid of?
Being able to cohesively present your case in writing,
based on the copywriting tips, hints and strategies
you would have got in these series of emails, can get
you EXACTLY what you desire.
Isn't it a good idea to put these skills into practice
in your life, starting today?
