Training: Writing That Sells - a sales writing training course  
   

Writing Machine's Writing That Sells writing training covers how to make your sales writing more engaging, competitive and benefits-led. Delegates also get the chance to practice what they have learnt with some real-life writing.

 
   

Writing That Sells is a two-day course delivered in your offices for up to 12 delegates at a date convenient to you. The course is very interactive, with lots of writing exercises and even homework!

 

Who should attend?
Anyone who writes sales communications or literature will find this course essential. Previous delegates have included sales managers, account managers and sales support staff.

 

What will delegates learn?
We know that every organisation or department has its own specific writing challenges. That's why we use a modular approach for our Writing That Sells training. The course teaches delegates the core skills they need for smarter and better sales writing planning, structuring, crafting and reviewing. Plus you can select three 'In Practice' modules on day two, which apply the theory to your particular needs.

 

As standard, the course will teach delegates how to:

  • identify competitive messages – and how to bring them into everything they write
  • plan and structure their writing – to make sales writing easy and repeatable
  • write with clarity – to make it easy for the reader
  • be engaging – turning facts into benefits and staying positive and direct
  • use clear layout - with bullets, boxes, bold text and captions
  • proofread - techniques for that final polish

Choose your own In Practice Modules
In addition, on day two you can choose three of the following In Practice modules:

  • executive summary writing
  • tone of voice*
  • persuasive PowerPoint
  • briefing other writers
  • cold emailing
  • grammar - breaking the rules
  • punctuation

Bespoke modules
We can also work with you to develop bespoke modules suited to the precise needs of your business or department.*

 

*These will need bespoke development and will therefore incur an extra charge.

 

A writing trainer
The trainer will be an experienced writer, who will demonstrate the techniques we use to make our writing professional, punchy and engaging. As a result, delegates will not only learn theories that can underpin the way they write for sales in the future, they will also have the opportunity to implement those theories under the watchful eye of someone who writes for a living.

After the course, delegates will be sent the course notes as a reference document for the future. These explain, expand and reiterate all the points raised throughout the course, so delegates will never be stuck trying to remember what they were taught. In addition, all delegates are signed up to our monthly Trade Secrets of Writing emails - giving them further writing hints and tips.
