Talking tactics with grizzled veteran John “One Legged Golfer Carlton”
Struggling with mediocre copy and wishy-washy marketing materials?
Want to give your pitches greater impact so they position you as the superior choice in a crowded market?
In a world where people are bombarded with 20,000 marketing messages a day, crafting a compelling sales message is getting tougher by the day.
Yet it’s possible to smash through the clutter and carve out a large slice of the pie when you know how…
And that’s with a BIG IDEA.
Your Big Idea could be:
– The backstory for why your product exists
– Breakthrough research that proves why your solution is the best
– Reframing your customer’s problem in a unique way so you can present your product as a unique solution
Big Ideas Position You as the #1 Choice
With access to limitless information at their fingertips, markets are maturing at lightning speed.
What was a unique and exciting six months ago has become mediocre by today.
You’re then forced to shift from selling with benefits to selling with claims to selling with unique concepts, manically changing gear to stay ahead of rushing market expectations.
But most businesses struggle to find a Big Idea for their product. Instead they shout about the same claims, benefits and features as everyone else. Leading to their campaigns are met by shrugged shoulders, and they fizzle out and die.
Instead, your goal with every sales message should be to light a firecracker under your reader’s chair. To deliver a message so fresh, tasty and tempting that they devour every word and FEEL compelled to act.
“I found Matt randomly on Google a couple of years ago when looking for a video sales letter copywriter. We’ve been working with him ever since and he’s become a valuable asset for our agency. All my team needs to do is send him a Skype message or email with the product we want to promote and he does the rest. He always delivers on time and writes great quality copy. In fact, we even hired him to write the copy for our website, so that tells you all you need to know.” – Shaun Sheik, Jump 450! (North America’s #1 Performance Advertising agency)
Copy, Strategy and Big Ideas that Deliver Higher Profits and Greater Campaign Success
By now, I hope, you get my point: Without a compelling Big Idea your campaigns are DOOMED.
Middle of the road, bland copy about benefits and features won’t cut it with today’s sophisticated customer.
This is why it’s vital that you work with a copywriter that knows how to develop big ideas. That knows how to research the market to identify its awareness level, sophistication, unfulfilled needs and how to position your product in a unique, inspiring and exciting way.
Someone like me.
For over 10 years I’ve worked with global brands (including Technicolor, Siemens and DHL), internet marketers and ambitious startups to help them devise hooks, unique mechanisms and big ideas that attract customers like a magnet. I now specialize in copywriting for natural health and financial newsletters.
However, whatever your niche, I can provide you with Big Idea infused copy that coaxes readers with emotion and logic until the only response is to buy.
A few of my successes include:
– Increased conversions 428% for a probiotic supplement sales letter
– A VSL (video sales letter) for the PowerChute golf training aid which passed $1 million in sales in a sophisticated and highly competitive market
– Passed an audition to write financial copy for Clayton Makepeace, one of the world’s most successful A list copywriters
– The Lean Body workout VSL which had a ‘stellar’ 7 percent conversion rate (most VSLs struggle to hit 2 percent)
– Advertorials that consistently out convert those of other copywriters by harnessing emotionally driven story telling
– Natural health VSLs that generate average watch time of 8 minutes on cold traffic (while most VSLs struggle to keep people engaged for 30 seconds)
– My direct mail sales letter to B2B marketing agencies generated a 14% response rate
“Matt has worked on a number of projects for A4D, writing VSLs, advertorials and landing pages. This includes a VSL for the PowerChute golf training aid which, after some fine tuning, is on course to be a million dollar selling promotion.” – Jason Akatiff, A4D

Client Feedback
“We work with Matt regularly on video scripts for our tech clients.
