What makes the difference between a piece of copywriting that stirs a deeply positive emotional reaction in the reader… and one that has them trashing it immediately.

Or worse… forwarding it to a government agency as a potential scam?

Very different reactions, clearly. 

And yes, the stakes really are that high. 

The difference comes down to two key elements of persuasion that frankly, only the most dedicated copywriters come to master.

My longtime friend and bonafide copywriting legend, David Deutsch is the most skilled expert in the copy game at balancing these two important and nuanced persuasion elements. 

The fascinating thing about these two persuasion elements is that, while they are clearly present in the copy… most people (even experienced copywriters) might not recognize their perfect balance as the reason one piece of copy fills the reader with hope and trust, while another flashes red warning signs of fear and dread. 

The two elements? 

PROMISE and BELIEVABILITY. 

Understanding how to present your promise, with just the right amount of proof, benefits, and impact to boost believability – and not blow it entirely with hype and “truth-stretching”… is the difference between truly persuasive copy and wanna-be look-a-like ads that implode on the launch pad.

This month in Copy Chief, to help us celebrate our fifty thousand dollar tech makeover and our Grand Reopening to new members… 

David Deutsch is our special guest trainer, sharing for the first time in an online webinar, exactly how to dial in the perfect mix of promise and believability. 

Be sure to join David and I on the training live November 18th at 12:00 (free for members).

If you’re not familiar with David Deutsch…

David’s amazing, and still very active, copywriting career started when he joined the team at Ogilvy and Mather in New York – back when THE David Ogilvy was still leading the company.

He went freelance after that and has been writing control-busting ads for major publishers in the health and financial markets for longer than most copywriters have been typing “act now”.

Sales from his ads have surpassed the billion-dollar mark, and not a word of it scammy, scuzzy, or under investigation. 

Yet, with all those accomplishments, David remains one of the most relevant and clued-in teachers and consultants of high-competition copywriting in the world today. 

In this new training with David, called “The Promise-ability Matrix”, Copy Chief members will take their copywriting to the next level by learning to dial in the perfect mix of promise and believability. 

This is one of those major advantages A-list copywriters have over everyone else… knowing exactly how to dial in the perfect promise behind your offer so it feels unique, urgent, and most importantly, believable. 

This is the ultimate, death-defying balancing act every copywriter faces when writing a big promise ad. Screw it up and your ad goes from performing graceful ballet moves on a highwire, to plummeting to its untimely demise in a twisted heap of broken trust. 

Get it right and your prospect “ooh’s” and “aahh’s” at the thrill of becoming your customer.

David has spent decades mastering the balance of promise and believability and for the first time he’s giving away his control-beating edge in a live webinar training exclusively to Copy Chief members. 

We’re celebrating our Grand Reopening all month.
