Core Frameworks
Problem + Solution
After reading the ad, prospects should articulate both the problem AND solution. If they can't → simplify.
Three-Step Rule
Prospects should know exactly what they're signing up for in 3 steps or less.
Voice of Customer (VoC)
- Watch 3-5 sales calls recommended by Head of Sales
- Analyze transcripts → build empathy maps
- Mine testimonials at scale
- Real customer words outperform any copywriter
CTA Matching by Awareness
| Awareness | CTA Style | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Cold | Soft, educational | "Watch walkthrough", "Read guide", "See how" |
| Warm | Medium, value-exchange | "Get the report", "Join webinar", "See case study" |
| Hot | Direct, action | "Book a demo", "Start free trial", "Talk to sales" |
Copy Rules
- Simple language — avoid jargon (CAC, ROI, ARPU). 20-40 exposures before full understanding
- Sound human — conversational, personable, not corporate
- Specific numbers — "48% more meetings" > "Double your meetings"
- Lead with problems, not solutions
- Powerful hooks — incentives, resources, knowledge
Messaging Mistakes to Avoid
- Over-relying on jargon and acronyms
- Leading with features instead of problems
- Generic advice that everyone gives
- Corporate-speak instead of human tone
- Overly long copy in initial touchpoints
- No clear call-to-action
- AI-generated content that feels inauthentic
Examples
Example 1: "Write ad copy for our B2B SaaS product" → Ask about ICP, product, and VoC data. Apply Problem + Solution framework, match CTA to funnel stage, provide 3 angle variations.
Example 2: "My ad copy isn't converting" → Diagnose: check awareness-CTA alignment, simplify language, lead with problems. Rewrite using customer language from sales calls.
