Here's what's really going on inside the mind of a client

A couple of weeks ago, I sent you an email about how a lot of companies actually know that they need a writer, but they’re just not saying it out loud, and it’s up to you to approach them.

 

I got several replies from people telling me that they had no idea clients thought that, and my email made them see the importance of taking action and actively reaching out to prospects. Needless to say, I was really happy to hear that — it’s always great to know that people are taking action. But it also got me thinking: What other “secret client thoughts” are there?

 

I explored the idea and I came up with 4 more things that clients are secretly thinking but aren’t telling you. I fleshed out my thoughts in this article on the Men with Pens website. Check it out onhttp://menwithpens.ca/copywriting-clients-secrets/

 

Here’s a quick rundown of the major points:

 

5 Things Your Clients are Secretly Thinking (But Won’t Bring Up Until You Do):

 

#1 Hiring a copywriter has been on our to-do list for a while; we just haven’t gotten around to it yet.”

 

#2 “We want you to grill us with questions.”

 

#3 “Just because we didn’t get back to you doesn’t mean we’re not interested. Follow up.”

 

#4 “We’re open to negotiations”

 

#5 “We’re scared.”
