We Can Help You Write


If you need to attract more business or achieve higher revenues, perhaps you need assistance with writing or editing your sales and marketing materials.

Sharp, benefit-focused sales copy will attract more high-quality (and high-paying) clients to your business and allow you to charge higher fees. People making decisions to do business with you need substantive and compelling reasons to engage your services.

What writing projects do you have that we can help you create or improve? We'll edit or write from scratch virtually anything in your business--sales letters, newsletters, e-zines, one-sheets, web sites, business forms, assessments, quizzes, program materials, workbooks, special reports, books, speeches, audio books, marketing materials and more.

How We Work: We can assist you by telephone, mail, e-mail, or in-person.

Our Timetables: We'll work out a satisfactory schedule with you for every project in advance. Sometimes we can offer 24-hour turn-around, depending on the project.

Our Fees: We can give you a per-project flat quote, work on an hourly rate, or work on a retainer basis.

When We Can Start: We're booked year-round, but we'll be able to schedule your project once we mutually determine how we'll fit together, and then coordinate calendars.


How Do We Get Started? Give us a call and let's discuss your needs and how we can help, or click on one of the buttons below to sign up for consulting services.

Our Guarantee: I guarantee the quality of our consulting sessions. I guarantee to you that each consulting session will be of the highest quality, and will give you the best cutting-edge content and success strategies. However, I cannot predict, know, monitor or guarantee what you will do with the lessons, insights and content learned in these sessions. Therefore, when you use our consulting, materials and products you are not guaranteed to improve learning, performance, income, health, fitness or specific earnings. No one can guarantee such outcomes because your results will depend on variables and factors outside our control including, but not limited to: your motivation, your diligence and discipline, your capabilities, your creativity, your health and fitness, your compliance with our recommendations and suggestions, and other factors which neither party has control over.

I will ask you, many times in each consulting session, if things make sense, and if you know how to practice and actually use what we discuss, and what I teach you. At the end of each consulting session, I will ask if that session met your expectations. If you say yes, we will consider that session successful. If you say no, I will spend additional time with you, at no additional charge, at that time, or at a mutually convenient time, to resolve your concerns. If I cannot resolve your concerns at that time, I will refund all your monies paid for that particular consulting session in question. If this consulting session in question was part of a package, when you receive a refund for that session, we will also refund the rest of your unused consulting package monies. This will be prorated per the package you purchased, not at the full non-package hourly rate. Whenever you make the next consulting package payment that is due or make a pay as you go payment, this indicates that you are satisfied with the consulting up to that point, and that you wish to continue the consulting program.
