Services offered
inSync, collaborative copywriting
Sick and tired of rewriting copy you paid your copywriter to write?
Stop wasting hours on rewrites.
Write your content in real time so you don't have to spend hours on rewrites.
Start turning your consulting expertise into profitable, jargon-free marketing content correctly the first time.
I’m not your typical B2B copywriter, ghostwriter, or content marketing writer.
That’s because I don’t write for clients; I write WITH them. I use a real-time collaborative writing system.
We are in sync.
You are guaranteed no ChatGPT content!
For many consultants, working with me has proved a reliable, “done-with-you” process that keeps them accountable to creating content, driving their success.
My process requires us to work together. You put in the work to create the outcome you seek.
I help you:
Generate new and high-value leads
Create publication-ready content
Use proven templates and formulas to save time
Write jargon-free copy
Reduce the risk with guaranteed pricing and deadlines
Build a library of prospect-focused content
The collaborative model is great for people who are tired of babysitting rounds of rewrites from writers who fail to capture the message correctly the first time.
Traditional copywriting
Independent copywriters write your copy so you don’t have to.
You determine how many content pieces you want, the length, keywords, and the goal.
The writer will ask you to fill out a questionnaire about your business and project.
This model is a good fit for certain industries and projects, as it can save time and money.
But for many consultants, this traditional method of copywriting is ineffective and inefficient.
The biggest complaints: The copy isn’t in their voice; the message is off; or there is too much jargon.
The result?
The copy must go through multiple rounds of rewrites.
Even after those revisions, the copy often falls short.
Questionnaires and brief client interviews can’t capture the deep, strategic knowledge from consultants to craft 100% customer-focused copy.

Traditional copywriting
Working with a traditional agency means you won’t work directly with your writer.
You’ll be working with the creative director or perhaps an account manager. They act as the channel between you and the writer.
The copywriter may be in-house or a freelancer.
You may, or may not, know the writer’s experience and qualifications.
They’ll ask you to fill out a discovery form and interview you about your business, your customers, and your customers’ challenges.
Once you submit your project requirements, they’ll write an outline.
Once you approve it, they’ll move to writing a draft or a finished document. You will then spend time on rewrites to fix the messaging.
Sales enablement
Collaborative copywriting
Sales enablement copywriting is simply writing sales materials to help you sell more.
We work together to define your long- and short-term goals, purpose, and target profile.
We’ll determine how your sales content can be seamlessly woven into your marketing content.
You’ll see shorter response times, increased responses, shorter sales cycles, and less time wasted—saving you money.
If you create better sales content, you’ll be able to sell more.
Traditional copywriting
Traditional copywriting methods deliver clear information, but not always results.
Agencies have the resources to deliver your marketing assets once they learn about your business, industry, customers, and challenges.
But the same problem remains for busy consultants: the process isn’t collaborative.
That means wasting time on rewrites to make sure the message hits your target.
Cost
Collaborative copywriting
I offer two blog post and LinkedIn packages that are easily customizable to your needs.
Many consultants like the package bundle because it offers a ton of value at the best price: $3,875 or $3,975.
Think of these packages as idea starters for you to use as is or to customize.
There is a minimum fee of $2,500. This cost includes deliverables. This minimal cost is enough to see the value from the process and to achieve a change in your business.
Other types of projects vary in price because of the larger number of variables.
Guaranteed pricing and deadlines.
Traditional copywriting
Some agencies quote $1,100+ for thought leadership blog posts.
Some writers charge $2,000 per article. Other agencies charge $400 to $500 per 600-word article. Freelancers charge anywhere from $20/hour to $200/hour.
As you can see, copywriting rates vary greatly depending upon experience, results, and the quality of the content. You’ve got to pull back the curtain to see what you are buying.
My clients have told me that they used to spend hours trying to fix poorly written copy. Now they don’t.
Your brand’s image is at stake. Invest accordingly.
Traditional copywriting
Traditional copywriting combines several sources of information to create the content: PDFs, research, websites, blog posts, emails, etc.
This means you don’t know whether the copy you receive will be on target, filled with jargon, on message, or in your voice.
Some copywriters take a consumer goods advertising approach that fails to accurately capture a consultant’s expertise and personality.
Other writers may be great at gathering facts but can’t turn those facts into stories.
In short, don’t be surprised to find your copy needs several rounds of rewrites to capture your message as you intended.

Option 2
Do it yourself
Some consultants like to write their own copy. They may be excellent writers, but most leaders find it difficult to maintain consistent results without a guiding hand. Collaboration drives accountability and progress.
Option 3
Status quo (do nothing)
Some people love to read about the different processes and approaches to copywriting and content marketing, but they don’t do a thing at all. They stay stuck forever, not moving forward to improve their business.
