Inner Business with Selena Woodward

When a client gets on a sales call and tells you the money isn't there — they also read your copy to get there. Your copy is a filter.

In this episode I'm walking you through why "I can't afford...

Your website copy is doing something to your reader's brain that you almost certainly didn't intend. Not the obvious negatives we covered last week. Three layers deeper than that.
