Effective Online Copywriting Training Course

Writing persuasive online copy that sells

We are excited to announce that we are working with Emarkeers on the following workshop.

Your website plays an important role in your sales process - whether you are selling directly online or using your website for lead generation purposes. But how can you use your site to increase your sales? And how can overcome your customers' objections through effective copywriting?

Companies generally have a sales or business development process for face-to-face business, but the responsibility for writing and editing web copy usually lies with a different person or department. If basic sales principles are applied to existing website copy then you can influence your response rate from potential clients.

This one day intensive interactive training course will demystify the whole sales process through persuasive copywriting - helping move customers through the sales cycle and understanding what makes people buy.

If you are interested in improving your response rate, revenue and sales from your website, this course is for you.
