Sales copywriting for products and services

Clarify product benefits for your client – to help win the sale

Selling products and services is the cornerstone of your business. As a B2C and B2B copywriter, I help articulate how your products and services help your customers – to help you drive sales.

My approach to copywriting isn’t necessarily “salesy”. Instead, it’s all about helping you sell the benefits of detailed products and services, so clients understand why they should turn to you.

So whether you’re creating service-focused web pages, landing pages, or old-school print flyers, your sales copy won’t just parrot a list of your product’s features.

Instead, it will include create benefit-led content that echoes the key messages your sales team will be delivering. This reinforces vital, client-facing points that support in-person sales.

This sales copywriting approach means understanding not only your services, but also the people who buy and use them – including the detailed drivers that bring clients to you.

As an experienced copywriter, I work with you to understand what those benefits and drivers are, to help make sales happen.

Sales copywriting and the value of structure

What if you have heaps of written info about your product or service, in PowerPoint documents and Google Docs  ­­– but it’s not quite coming together as you hoped?

Don’t worry. As a copywriter, a lot of my work is really editing, rather than writing.

Marketers and product managers sometimes send me an internal document which outlines their thoughts on how to pitch products to the customer – including sales points and proof points.

Often everything is there, but no decision has been made about which benefits have priority. Or, more likely, benefits overlap, so the messaging isn’t crisp enough to be public-facing – yet.

With my help, you can give clients a simple document that drills down to the key benefits of a product or service.

Give them that document, articulate those benefits clearly, and the sales process becomes simpler and easier for everyone.

My sales copywriting services

As an experienced B2B copywriter, I offer copywriting  to suit many different sales styles. These include:

Product and service web pages

Almost all businesses are inbound marketers to some extent these days.

This means you need a structured set of products and service web pages, working in conjunction with an organised web menu, to help clients understand what you do.

As a copywriter, I help you not only to write these pages – but also to structure them for on-page SEO, so that they become landing pages for both organic and paid search.

The more high-value the products or services you provide, the more useful it is to bring in a copywriter to work on your product and service messaging – to help articulate the benefits and drive sales.

Of course, it’s also important to update online product and service pages regularly, to keep them up to date. I am happy to offer product and service page editing, too.

Channel marketing

If you use channel marketing, then another option to consider is the traditional PDF sales sheet.

For some clients, having a PDF “document” they can print out feels a bit more substantial than a web page, especially for high-value sales.

Your account managers can email benefit-led PDFs for each product that your client is interested in.

The primary benefit of PDF sales sheets is that it helps you to tailor multiple PDFs to specific industries or sectors, and send only the relevant PDF to a client.

This can be harder to achieve on the web, where clients would otherwise see marketing that’s aimed at all sectors, which can feel less exclusive or relevant.

In practice, as a large organisation you’ll probably use a mix of web pages and PDF product sheets.

Sales flyers for events

There’s one important piece of marketing collateral that we shouldn’t neglect: the humble flyer.

When you attend traditional events such as conferences, the one-page print flyer is still a quick way to distil service benefits to bare essentials.

They also let you adapt messaging on the fly, to suit a particular sub-sector.

This may not be at the cutting edge of marketing, but sales is sometimes about doing the simple things.

As a copywriter, I can help you distil your product and service benefits down to the essentials – so that even the smallest flyers do their job.
