Jon Buchan – Convert Like A Charm

Description

Jon Buchan – Convert Like A Charm

The Charm Offensive style began its life as a way to get responses from cold emails.

This context is very different from writing pitches to an email list or on social media.

In the last year, I’ve blended my disarming humorous style with rhetorical devices and the persuasive concepts of direct response copywriting to great effect.

I’ve developed a style which stands out, entertains, and most importantly, converts.

I’ve never released a training that specifically talks about this potent blend of charm and persuasion.

Until, as you may have guessed, now…
