Clear Reach Notes

Marketing notes with the jargon left out.

A guarantee you cannot keep stays off the page

A guarantee you cannot keep stays off the page. This is a marketing note with the jargon left out. The subject is a promise about results.

Make the piece in this order: delete any result you cannot point to. If you cannot show it to a customer without explaining the explanation, it is not done.

The cut

The usual waste is a promise of a number you hope for. Cut that before you add a channel, a tool, or a second headline.

Ship it when no sentence predicts a result. A claim you cannot point to does not go in the sentence.

In "The offer", the work means a page, a sign, a conversation, or a short offer. It does not mean a promise about results.

A writing note. It does not promise reach, rank, or sales.
