Good Story 🙂
One of the things I realized early on working with John Carlton is that good sales copy is structured story telling. It has a lot in common with technical writing.
Just like a story designed to make you laugh, or cry, or learn a step-by-step process, there are constructs and patterns that have proven to work in copy.
