Training manual sample
Below are some extracts from our Effective Writing for Sales and Marketing Collateral manual.
Good writing is an art that requires practice,
patience, and a deep understanding of its various elements. It’s not just about
putting words on paper, but about conveying a message in the most effective and
engaging way possible.
Four Steps to Good Writing
Step 1: Planning Before you start writing,
it’s crucial to plan your content. Identify your audience and the purpose of
your writing. What message do you want to convey? How do you want your audience
to react? Answering these questions will help you shape your content.
Step 2: Drafting Once you have a plan, start
drafting your content. Don’t worry about making it perfect at this stage. The
goal is to get your ideas down on paper. Write freely and let your thoughts
flow.
Step 3: Revising After drafting, it’s time to
revise your work. Look for areas that need improvement. Is your message clear?
Is your tone appropriate for your audience? Are there any unnecessary words or
phrases that you can remove? Revise your work until you’re satisfied with it.
Step 4: Proofreading The final step is to
proofread your work. Check for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. Make
sure your sentences are clear and concise. Proofreading ensures that your
writing is polished and professional.
Ten Golden Rules to Achieve Excellent Sales
Letters
- Know
Your Audience: Understand who you’re writing for. What are their needs and
interests? How can your product or service benefit them?
- Be
Clear and Concise: Avoid jargon and complex sentences. Your message should
be easy to understand.
- Use a
Strong Opening: The first few lines of your letter should grab the
reader’s attention and make them want to read more.
- Focus
on Benefits, Not Features: Don’t just list the features of your product or
service. Explain how these features can benefit the reader.
- Use
Persuasive Language: Use words and phrases that persuade the reader to
take action.
- Include
a Call to Action: Tell the reader exactly what you want them to do next.
Whether it’s to make a purchase, sign up for a newsletter, or visit your
website, make your call to action clear and compelling.
- Proofread:
Always proofread your letter before sending it. Spelling and grammar
errors can damage your credibility.
- Personalise
Your Letter: If possible, personalise your letter. Use the reader’s name
and reference any previous interactions you’ve had with them.
- Use
Testimonials: If you have positive reviews or testimonials from satisfied
customers, include them in your letter. They can help build trust and
credibility.
- Follow
Up: Don’t just send your letter and forget about it. Follow up with the
reader to see if they have any questions or need further information.
