This is NOT the job for the CEO, CMO or other internal staff

This may actually come as a surprise, but it is not the job of any of the internal employees to write sales copy for a website, a brochure, sales letter, or even a postcard. Sales copy is written from a position of persuasion. Typically, employees tend to write sales copy from the perspective

Some of the things you will read in this post have been covered or previously touched upon. But, I have decided to dedicate a whole post to explaining this in detail because this is the process of copy engineering that we go through at eLaunchers. This process can serve as a baseline to deviate from and integrate into your standard operating procedure. Here are the five main parts of the process:
