One of the most frustrating things you'll need to deal with when you're writing sales copy is struggling to figure out what copy you should "keep" because it's benefitting you and helping you make sales, and what copy to eliminate.
And the truth is, sometimes it's a difficult choice and not
easy to decide. Today we'll take a look at the fifth
paragraph of our mock display ad and hopefully make things
easier for you.
You can check out that original ad, and even print
out a copy of it, right here:

The fifth paragraph says, "My team is highly profitable and
unmatched in success. Because of our unique system we
outsold 96% of all the agents from any company across the
Greater Tampa Bay Area."
Again, the writer keeps talking about HIS team and how well
THEY'RE doing.
But if you want to boost your response to this ad, what you
need
to do is emphasize the benefits of responding, to your
prospects.
What's in it for the buyer?
How can they benefit?
And why should they even continue reading, let alone buy?
In this case, we've already got enough informtion going for
us, that I'd delete this paragraph entirely, and just close
with a call to action in the last paragraph.
And we'll do exactly that, tomorrow.
Tomorrow we'll close out this mock ad and you'll get to
see a compelling offer.
Now go sell something,
