Tweetable Quotes
“A good marketing message will lead you to change your plans and take a step towards me or towards whoever is putting out the message.” (04:33) (Dov)
“The first thing to understand is what is the purpose of a good message. And the purpose of a good message is to get the attention and the interest of your ideal client. That may or may not sound like a tall order. The good news that there’s only two things that get the attention of your ideal client. Number one, a problem they have and don’t want, and/or if you talk about a result they want and don’t have.” (04:58) (Dov)
“In order to craft a simple, head-turning, compelling message, you need to start with your core idea and take it through seven filters. You really want it to pass from one to the next and, if it goes through all seven filters, you’ve got a simple, head-turning, compelling message.” (12:33) (Dov)
“People try to load too much into their messages. They try to be too high level and the problem is it’s meaningless. If you try to put too much into it, you lose people. And the reason we do that is because there’s so many people we could help. That’s true, but the more you put in there, the fewer people are gonna read your message. So, you’ve got to work with human psychology.” (28:49) (Dov)
“There’s a distinction between rushing and a sense of urgency. Rushing is where you try to make something go faster than it’s naturally able to go. A sense of urgency is where you don’t allow things to take longer than they need.” (32:47) (Dov)
