This book is an amazing resource for
anyone who writes sales letters. I own a
business that sells high dollar OD/HR
consulting. I bought this book based upon
the reviews it got from other readers and
the title. At first, I was very
disappointed because the book is really
directed mostly at direct-mail,
reach-out-and-grab-the-buyer type
businesses with products or services for
consumers. My target audience is much
more sophisticated and specialized.
I put the book on my shelf until
recently. I picked it up again, mostly
forgetting what I didn't like about it
the first time. I quickly remembered, but
I kept looking for different and new
ideas. I found them. All I needed to do
was to open my mind and use my
imagination on how I could incorporate
the ideas he has and use them. The
results were amazing! I realized I had
limited myself because I was really
looking for a letter I could simply copy
and change. Once I dropped that attitude,
my whole view of the book changed.
Also, the formula for writing a great
sales letter is the same whether you are
writing something like mine or other
types of copy or sales letters...
I highly recommend buying this book.
Use it in the right way and you will see
results.

This is, by far, the very best book
you can ever get on the subject of sales
letter writing. Dan Kennedy, a marketing
genius in his own right, teaches you
step-by-step in writing the best sales
piece possible. He encourages you to
write your own sales materials, even if
you think you can't write, because only
YOU know your product better than anyone
else ever will. He shows you how to focus
on benefits, not features. And ALWAYS
tell people what's in it for them! Dan
Kennedy is great. This book is great. If
you can only get one sales letter writing
book for the rest of your life, GET THIS
ONE! If you want to learn how to write
sales letters that will generate MILLIONS
of dollars in sales...GET THIS BOOK!
