Have you ever watched J.J. Abrams’ TED Talk? I’ll include a link at the end of the article. I found it this morning. I clicked on a Google News headline along the lines of “The most shocking thing about J.J. Abrams’ choice to reveal the new cast list for Star Wars...
Guess who’s back, back again? Roy is back, so tell your friends! I spent the last week exploring Nebraska with my family. Did you know we have a 75-foot spring-fed waterfall? And it’s cold! Plus high-desert bluffs. Rattlesnakes and porcupines. And cacti — in...
I’m not above cheating… I like to use any tool or trick I can to write better sales copy. And this one little tool is a pretty powerful way to write more conversational sales copy. And since being conversational tends to lead to more sales and conversions, this helps...
Let’s talk about holidays… And no, I’m not telling you to get ready for Christmas — even though we’re already in the downhill slide… First, a bit of housekeeping. Next week, I’m taking a “family week” to wrap up the summer. That means that next Monday through Friday,...
I am NOT going to tell you what or how to believe… However, I’m reading a fascinating and quite controversial book. It’s from historian and ex-Evangelical Christian Bart D. Ehrman. And it analyzes the history of early Christianity, and its rise to being the dominant...
I’m as bad of a procrastinator as anyone else… In college, I used to wait until the night before a big paper was due. I’d walk to the computer lab on campus. I’d sit down, and proceed to bang on they keyboard. By the break of dawn, I’d cranked out the paper. It was...
We’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover — but we do… I know, I know. It’s not literal. Except when it is. But the saying is a saying for a reason. As human beings, we make snap judgments. It’s wired. It’s how our brains work. We have millions of years’...
I know something about you that you probably don’t want me to know… I was into psychology for the understanding long before I was into it for the marketing and persuasion. And yet, some of the deepest truths about how our minds work can be immensely valuable in both...
I don’t often get the book after I’ve gone through the audiobook… I find that my ADHD sticks with audiobooks a lot better — after all, I can let the book be my distraction while mowing, doing the dishes, working out, or whatever. But sometimes a book is so good — in...
Right now you have something you need to do, that you’re avoiding… Maybe you’re procrastinating. Maybe you’re just not bringing yourself to do it, even though you really want to. You’re not taking action. And it’s not just this thing. It’s a thousand little things...
Story is de-facto one of the most powerful communication skills you can develop… It’s primordial. Humans have been telling stories since we developed language. In fact, we probably developed language just so we could tell stories. “You should’ve seen the freaking...
I don’t have a typical day… That’s part of the appeal of being a freelance copywriter and independent consultant, and doing your own thing. That said, I DO have times where I’m being maximally-effective. And other times when I’m not. That’s what we’ll dive into...
There’s one fundamental question behind the Unique Selling Proposition… “Why should I, your perfect prospect, choose to do business with you, over every other option available to me — including solving my problem myself, going with a competitor, or choosing to do...
You’re broke and you need this sale… You need the commission. You need the money. You’ve got bills to pay — they’re already late. You need the cash — yesterday. And so you bring your A-game. Your hustle. You give your pitch everything you’ve got. You know it’s...
Happy early Independence Day… I could go with a historical and social analysis of the whole Fourth of July celebration here in the States, and probably suck the fun out of this whole issue. But instead of doing that, I’m sharing an article I wrote for AWAI in 2011,...
