Highlights
The CEO isn’t your customer.
So why is your copy written for them?
It’s an easy mistake to make. A natural downside of an internal sign-off process. Copy filled with “we’re thrilled to announce”, self-congratulatory wank, and wrong-headed USPs the customer doesn’t give a shiny tickle about?
It all plays well to the CEO. So they give it a thumbs-up. And so does the Head of Marketing.
But if your copy was being signed off by a panel of your customers, it wouldn’t make it past the first draft.
So what do you do?
You put together a panel of your customers. Reach out to some friendly customers who seem to have their heads screwed on and ask them. Is this working for you? Does this speak to you?
People are rarely shy about sharing their opinions. You may find you don’t always agree with all of them. And that’s okay. The customer isn’t always right.
But they know what they like. And you can’t argue with that.
It doesn’t matter if your CEO doesn’t like the copy; they aren’t the one buying the product.
But if your prospects don’t like the copy, they won’t be doing much buying.
And your CEO will certainly like the results you get when you start writing your copy righter!
Copy for your customer. Results for the boss.
And then everyone gives a shiny tickle about your copy righter.
When people take a shortcut across the grass, it turns into mud.
It’s the same with your copy.
Trying to take shortcuts like generative AI, Fiverr, or getting your sister’s kid to write it for you leaves you with a handful of sticky wet mess that needs sorting out.
Whereas investing in quality copy might take a little longer at first. But you won’t have to waste time and money sorting out any sticky mess.
And you’re left with a lush lawn that everyone admires.
