What is the importance of making sure that whatever the language and the copy that you're using is on point with matching the business and the business owner's intent?
The process that I kind of think throughout when I write copy for myself and my clients is I start with what is the transformation that we're selling? Because ultimately, regardless of technology, and we can talk about that and touch on, you know, how technology is going to change us as humans, We've got the same psychological needs. We still think in a very similar way to how we did 100 years ago. We've still got similar wants, things like that. So for me, as a copywriter, part of my job is to be almost a psychologist and know what people are thinking and feeling. And if you can tap into that, I start with the idea of what is the transformation that we're selling? Because all businesses and all people in business do is take the customers from one point that they are now and take them to a hopefully better point.
