Sales messages have content. Though the style and impact of marketing material is important, selling requires you to inform people about your products or services. How you do that matters.
Needs.
Customers want problems solved. Tell them you know that. If you convince a customer you understand his needs he will believe you can satisfy them.
Collateral.
Collateral materials (fliers, web pages, advertising, etc.) describe products. But good collateral shouldn't be a laundry list of specifications. Catalogs of features don't sell things. Instead, you must focus on a prospective customer's needs. Once that's done, you can explain how his specific requirements are met by your product.
Accessible.
A qualified prospect whose needs are accurately identified is almost a customer. Clearly stated, well-produced, technically complete descriptions then become valuable and appreciated. They are the last measure of convincing that a prospect wants. They help provide credibility and comfort.
