Over the last couple of days we've been talking about

something few people stop and take the time to consider,

BEFORE they go ahead and start writing their sales copy --

and that is -- whose "voice" your sales copy should be

written in.



Remember, when thinking this through, what's key here, is

credibility, and believability.



You want to ask yourself, "Which "character" will be most

credible and believable, to my prospects?"



And oftentimes, this means, which character can you "make"

most credibile and believable to your prosptcts.



Along those lines, another "voice" you can write in, is what

I call, the "3rd Party Plus" voice.



And who qualifies to be your "3rd Party Plus" voice?



Well... bluntly...



Anyone Who Will Make Your Pitch Work!



For example, I recently wrote a pitch for a real estate /

financial services-related product -- and one letter came

from a real estate lawyer, the other from an investor.



When I pitched a service to CPA's a while ago, guess where


that letter came from?



A CPA of course (a CPA is like a Chartered Accountant, in

case you live outside America).



How about medical or health-related pitches?



Consider using a doctor... a pharmacist... or a cured

patient -- that sounds good to me.



In certain cases, even a "friend" or client can make your

pitch, especially if you've got some kind of whacky or

unique story about how you came up with your product or

service.



You can even "invent" secret "clandestine" characters,

like...



"Mr.(or Mrs.) X" for example... or... "Former Convicted

Felon -- prisoner # 12345".



The choices are endless -- it all depends on who you're

writing to and what you're selling, that ultimately

determines the "best" way to go here.



Remember, you can write "from" anyone you want, so long as 3

things are true:



Your sales pitch is true. Make sure you've got "someone"

behind those characters willing to back their "writing" up.



Your sales copy is believable.



And lastly, your "voice" must have credibility -- don't


advertise your new "shortcuts to real estate investing

success" program, and have the person writing your sales

copy, be a 17-year old surfer dude from Encino,

California.



Make sense?



Now go sell something,
