The Words we Use


From Craig Garber:

Look, I'm going to explain something to you today in plain
and simple English, so you can get your arms around this,
once and for all.

But first, let me ask you a few questions:

How'd you like to buy six dozen bees nests - I've got them
available for an amazing price?

No?

O.K. then, how about a half-dozen Florida armadillos? They
make great pets and they're not very particular at all
about where you let them roam around, or who's grassy lawn
they destroy.

Still not interested?

Hmmm... then what if I told you I could get you a fantastic
deal on a giant box of silk plants. Now are you
interested?

No, of course not.

Then pay very close attention to what I'm about to tell you
because it's going to clear up any confusion you may have
about this.

See, virtually no one includes enough detail in their
marketing promotions.

And while people who aren't interested in what you're
selling, could care less about what you have to say, the
folks who are interested, want to know absolutely
EVERYTHING about what you're offering.

A bee-keeper, for example, wants to know EVERY detail under
the sun. He wants to know how old the bees are... where they
came from... how often they produce honey and how much honey
they produce... what kind of honey and how sweet it is... how
much honey they've manufactured in the last three honey
seasons... how manageable the bees are... roughly how many bees
are in each nest... whether or not they're aggressive bees,
and if so, how aggressive... how prolific they are and how
fast the nest is growing... when you can ship them... how they
can get them... whether or not these kind of bees have been
sold before, and if so, who bought them... what are other
beekeepers saying about the bees you sell... and probably a
whole host of other things you and I will never have a clue
about, because this isn't a product we want to buy.

And see, if it was a product you wanted to buy, would you
simply be satisfied with some vague generalities like,
"Yellow bees for sale. Ready to produce honey."?

No way, right?

And this is true, regardless what you're selling or how much
money you're charging. The truth is, your buyers want to
know absolutely everything about what they're buying. And
you can't provide this information in a sentence or two.

On top of this, if you think using a bunch of hypey words
with exclamation points is going to make your sale, you're
living in La La Land.

"Eye-Opening Bees Now Available!" just won't cut it.

So the issue isn't really how much you should write. It's
how much do you need to say, to give your buyers enough
information so they can make a decision.

Some people, as I'm sure you know... can go on and on and on
and say absolutely nothing. But others... can give you more
insight to life and how it works... in just a few words.

Now go sell something, Craig Garber
