To write a sales letter that does the job it is supposed to do and generate sales, there are several strategies you should use in every sales letter you write:

* At the top of your sales letter, use a strong headline that states the most important benefit you are offering. This headline should be bold and a larger font size than the font size you use for the body text in your sales letter. A great headline promises a specific result. For example, “If our skin care product does not make your face look 10 years younger in 30-days or less, we’ll give you a 110% refund!”

* When writing your sales letter, always use a friendly conversational style. Do not try to write “cold and corporate" where you use large words and try to impress your prospects with your vocabulary. All that does is turn people off. Instead, write your sales letter using friendly simply language as if you were talking to your best friend.

* Your sales letter needs to explain the benefits your potential customer will receive. Understand that everybody cares about one thing in life - "What’s in it for me?" Put yourself in your customer’s shoes and ask yourself, "If I was receiving this letter, why would I want to buy the product or service being sold? What’s in it for me?"

* Offer quantitative proof why your product or service is better than the competition. For examples of how to show proof that your product is better than the competition, your sales letter should make statements that you can prove such as, your widget lasts 3.7 times longer, it costs 27% less, our company offers a 90-day 100% money-back guarantee while our competitors offer no guarantee, our widget is guaranteed to last 5 years or we will replace it for free, while our competition only offers a 6-month replacement guarantee, etc.

* Include several customer testimonials to give social proof of the quality of your product or service. Testimonials are one of the most powerful marketing tools you can use, so take advantage of them and always use them in your sales letters.

* To get your prospects to take action, your sales letter must ask your customer to purchase by a specific date and give them a bonus for ordering by a specific date. For example, “Buy our widget by March 25 and get an instant 10% off”, or, “Buy our widget by March 25 and get a second widget at half price.” This strategy works like magic and that is why you see it used so often on TV, particularly in infomercials and other successful direct-response advertising.
