Ever heard this saying…

“If a man can make a better mousetrap than his neighbour… the world will make a beaten path to his door.

It was a quote from a wise guy: Ralph Waldo Emerson.

But it was also…

WRONG!

In 1928, a guy called Chester M. Woolworth took this concept and created a better mousetrap. It sold for 12c, 7c more than the older, less effective mousetrap.

Think about it: why would you want a better mousetrap?

If it works, it works – you end up throwing out the damn things anyway.

But as a result of this quote which has sunken deep into our psyches…

Thousands of people are looking for that miraculous way to grow wealth by coming up with a super-special product.

My advice is: By all means focus on creating the best possible product or service for your prospects.

But I’ve spoken with plenty of people with great products & services…

Who couldn’t sell anything because…

THEIR WORDS SUCKED.

Do yours?

Are your potential customers missing out on your superior product or service because you cannot write in a way that is compelling…

Can’t craft an offer?

Can’t write a headline?

Can’t identify your unique selling proposition?

If so, stop focusing on creating a better mousetrap…

And check this out.
