How has the writer attracted your attention? What about the copy keeps you interest? Are you stimulated to want to know more about the product being advertised? What action must you take? Are all of these points covered in the sales letter? How strongly are you "turned on" by the sales letter? - Read your sales letter over a couple of times, and write a short comment: Does your business letter have the same impact and tone? Is it bad, so-so, or good? If it’s bad, why? Is it lost in the crowd, doesn't attract attention, doesn't hold the reader’s interest, nothing special to make the reader want to own the product, no demand for action, etc… - Rewrite your sales letter. Do what it takes to create an effective sales tool. Include the missing elements until you fell you're satisfied that the sales letter you've rewritten is perfect. Do the same exercise each day for the next month or so and remember, the more business letters you write, the easier the writing process will become.
