I wish I could remember who first suggested the “The Conversational Test” for business writing.
I read about it about the time that I was hired to facilitate “Business Writing for Best Results” workshops, sponsored by Dun & Bradstreet. It was a big deal to present the “seminar” I created because I was the first female they had ever hired to represent them across America and Canada. (Another story for another time. It’s a good one!)
More important to you, that advice – to use the conversational test – is the easiest, best, most distinctive thing you can do NOW to disrupt patterns and engage prospects.
Ask yourself: Would I say this to my reader? If you wouldn’t, don’t write it.
Make it easy for your prospect by:
Using your personality.
Being friendly.
Being HUMAN!
Being real.
When your email sounds and feels right read aloud, you can be sure, it will represent you well.
You’re good enough as you.
Trust yourself.
Be yourself.
And watch your success sky-rocket!
