Words That Sell!

Let's put together a master list of the most effective words that sell. You first.

I don't have any magic words that well, Frankie. The magic is in the other person saying: I want that.

I don't use sizzle words or enticing adjectives and pictures. I make a straight offer - so for me a straight offer sells to someone who wants what I offer.

I sell nutritional products of various kinds and a business opportunity to be a rep with our company. Over the past twelve years I've scripted myself in more ways than I can remember learning from some of the best in the sales/network marketing industry. One of my favorite is "High Probability Selling" BUT there are others I've learned from to sell.

I speak with confidence and conviction, I have thorough knowledge of my company, products and business plan, and I am a very good listener and question asker. Nevertheless, I have no magic words yet by working very casually yet consistently over the years - I'm a lazy worker with a slack work ethic BUT I like my lifestyle a lot - I've built an international business world wide.

Okay. Maybe someone will enlighten us with his or her words to sell. For me the magic is in the conversation.

The best of the best to you.

Mitch, this thread is about copywriting.

All of us who participate here at SalesPractice know you're head over heals gaga about your favorite book, but even you have to admit that the book you love to promote at every opportunity doesn't have anything to do with copywriting.

Hey Skip I read the heading too quickly AND from the question didn't distinguish written from spoken - that's my failure to maybe misunderstand the question and definitely miss the heading of this section.

BUT that doesn't make me gaga nor does it cause me to gag over these things, Skip. Instead taking your shot at me ad value to the post by adding an expert opinion.

OKAY, a word that sells is FREE.

You guys seem to have a fued going on here but a word that sells is VALUE.

Skip has a fued going on with himself, MoneyMaker. He takes shots at me out of context many times without adding value to the thread and on occasion I reply - in my last reply I admitted my error but not Skip has not added valut to the question at hand. Why I don't know as he is an expert here and I respect his experience and what he can offer us for discussion.

When I see VALUE or my word FREE in copy I read it usually if it's something I'm thinking at the time - like most people I look for what's the catch. I got a free phone from sprint today I've yet to look at carefully and call the 800# but I will - FREE got my attention.

The best to you.

I'm not having a feud with myself. I'm having a feud with you.

What's out of context about me challenging what you posted?

Here's my opinion: I think you're overpromoting your favorite book in this forum, Mitch, and I think me pointing that out adds value to the thread. As you have admitted, the book you recommended in this thread has nothing to do with the topic of this thread.

I don't feel I'm an expert in the area of copywriting, so I choose not to "add value" to the thread other than pointing out that you're overpromoting a book you like. Some of us in this community choose not to participate in threads where we don't have expertise. Perhaps you could learn from that,Mitch?

That's nothing to feud about. I appreciate amateur opionins and sometimes the expert and amateur opinon add value to a conversation.

For twelve years I taught journalism and produced a high school yearbook - my degrees are in English and literature - though amateur, I have experience editing and copy writing.

FREE and VALUE are attention grabbing words. They can also be attention numbing words - overkill!
