The art of Sales Words

The process of building sales words is an art. It’s not enough to be fluent in the language, you need to know what people want. You have to be able to tell them exactly what they are looking for before they even realize it themselves.

You know how each brushstroke makes the picture look alive even more? The same thing with positive sales words or sales copy. With sales words, or sales copy, your letter can come to life and grab the attention of your prospect right away. There are specific positive sales words chosen for their ability to make people feel certain emotions which motivate them to buy whatever it is you are selling. These emotions could be things like excitement, happiness, comfort or trust. It has been scientifically proven that when exposed to these stimulations, people tend to respond positively toward the product being sold.

For example: There was one study done about children’s cereal boxes in which two groups were exposed to different types of marketing. One group saw a box that had cartoon characters on it and the other viewed boxes with just text. The study showed that children responded better towards the cereal when they were exposed to the cartoon images instead of just simple words which is why this is a common tactic used today.

The sales words we use in our sales conversations have a huge impact on the outcome of our conversations. But how to choose the right sales words? How can you find the magic key to open any door, turn off any alarm and impress anybody?

It’s about language…

The positive sales words you use in a sales letter can be the difference between a sale and a rejection. Did you know that there are proven ways to increase your response rate? Sales professionals have known about these sure fire sales word combinations for years!
