If your ad is confusing...

Finding the Win-Win Solution in Sales

F

I’ve often heard people complain about their situation in life and remarking that they don’t really have a choice about it because of this and that. I totally disagree! Everyone has a choice. People are in their situation because they choose to be. It’s a decision based on their set of values, standards, and desires, mired in the reality of what they are really capable of at the...

The Secret to the Squeeze! Part 4

A lot of people, when writing tend to veer towards ‘flat copy‘. Who wants to read copy like that? It is boring, uninspiring, and tedious. NOT something I’d want to read for sure! Wanna know why...

The Secret to Closing

T

One of the biggest things people struggle with in sales is the close. And it’s even more tough to close when it’s in print and not face to face.  The problem is that your close is not meant to stand alone.  A good close is wrapped within your entire sales pitch, and in fact you are actually closing the entire time… it’s just done in such a way that your prospect...

The best compliment that I can pay Cori is to simply say that “she gets it”.

She works extremely hard to capture the written “voice” that will define your business. Cori intuitively knows how to deliver your message in a voice that is both creative and effective. As a newly-minted small business owner, I rely heavily on both her counsel and her expertise. And on top of all of that, she’s hilarious!
