The Message Leak

Review whether your website and sales materials clearly explain who you help, what you do, and how to get started.

About this chapter

Make the next step easy to understand.

Read the first screen of your website as someone who has never heard of the business. They should be able to identify the service, the kind of customer it serves, and a sensible next action.

Compare that first impression with your proposals, advertising, and sales conversations. Different channels can use different words while staying consistent about the offer, scope, and customer expectations.

What to check

Questions worth reviewing.

Customer and situation

Name the people you help and the problem or task that brought them to you.

Specific offer

Explain what the customer receives in familiar language. Define terms that need explanation.

Evidence

Use relevant examples, verified reviews, and details that support the claims you make.

Next action
