Copywriting: The key to persuading a potential prospect into accepting what it is you are offering, always comes back to this topic of copywriting. This is where people often go wrong. By sending out thousands of un-personalized, generic e-mails, letters and faxes your potential market gets turned off.

In my professional career, there are so many prospects available that I often find myself deleting e-mails if they even look the least bit like a piece of spam. The key take away lesson here, is that I made that decision before I even opened up the e-mail.

This is the greatest and fastest way to raise capital from PE firms.
