Your offer will make or break the success of your business.

When you have a strong offer, you can succeed despite a bunch of other shortcomings. You can have less experience and win with a better offer. You can charge higher prices with a better offer. You can overcome weak marketing with a strong offer.

“Strong copy will not overcome weak offer. But…in many cases, a strong offer will succeed in spite of weak copy written by marketing morons!
— Gary Halbert

  • I’m an interior designer, so my offer is redesigning your home
