"Bad copy" isn't the problem

In partnership with

Ever wonder why some emails sizzle with sales... while others barely get a click?

Most people think it’s the writing.
Or the subject line.
Or the formatting.

But…
👉That’s not necessarily true.

There’s something simpler hiding under every high-converting email.

And until you fix it, no amount of clever wordsmithing will save your sales.

Let me show you what I mean with a quick story…

A client once came to me frustrated out of their mind. They had polished up their email copy, tweaked headlines, and even hired a "pro" copywriter. Still? Crickets.

One quick look and the problem was obvious: their "offer" was a vague bundle of buzzwords.

It wasn't clear what the reader was actually getting or why they should care. No email could fix that. First, we rebuilt the offer, and suddenly, sales started rolling in.

And here’s the uncomfortable reality:

It’s because your reader doesn’t fully see the value of what you’re offering… yet.

So, let’s dig in.

The Invisible Sale-Killer Hiding In Your Offer

When an email underperforms, most people frantically rewrite the headline, punch up the bullets, or tweak the CTA.

But that’s like rearranging the chairs on the Titanic, if the ship (your offer) is sinking, no amount of decoration will save it.

Here's the brutal truth:

If your reader can't immediately grasp the value, If it feels fuzzy, boring, or irrelevant, If it sounds like "just another thing" instead of a must-have...

Then even the slickest copy won't save you.

Because sales aren’t made by clever words.
They're made when the reader says: “Holy crap, I NEED this.”

3 Silent Signals Your Offer Isn’t Ready (Yet)

Before you even think about writing your next email, run a simple checkup.

1. Vagueness
Can you explain your offer in one clear, charged sentence?

• Bad: "Our solution helps you optimize business systems to unlock potential."

• Good: "We help entrepreneurs save 15+ hours a week by automating 80% of their lead management."

If you’re using corporate-speak, your reader’s brain goes foggy.

2. “So What?” Syndrome
If a stranger reads your offer and shrugs, you’ve missed emotional relevance.

• Bad: "Includes 12 modules and 4 templates."

• Good: "Get the exact templates and scripts that have helped our clients close $10K+ deals in under 30 days."

Features without meaning = indifference.

3. Feature Overload
Drowning your reader in "stuff" forces them to connect the dots. (They won’t.)

• Bad: "Lifetime access, bonus calls, private Slack group, extra videos!"

• Good: "Everything designed to get you profitable, fast, and keep you supported every step after."

Focus on how the reader’s life transforms, not what’s stuffed into the box.

Find the Sale First. THEN Write.

Before you write another word, ask yourself:

When you nail these answers, emails practically write themselves.

You stop "selling", and you start painting a future the reader desperately wants.

Instead of "buy this thing," your message becomes: 👉 *"Here’s the new you waiting on the other side."

And that’s when emails sell. Not with hype. Not with tricks. With clarity.

A Quick Example

Say you’re selling a fitness coaching program.

Vague Offer:
"We offer 1-on-1 coaching, meal plans, and monthly check-ins."

Clear, Emotional Offer:
"We'll help you drop 20 pounds in 90 days, without giving up your favorite foods or spending hours at the gym, so you finally feel confident in every photo."

Same service. Different positioning. Different results.
