Product Creators Always Said…
…We created the product
We created something that people desperately wanted
Our product is the next-generation innovation
It stands on it’s own
(Apparently, we still need a sales letter)
And The Copywriters Are Not So Far Behind In Saying…
…Certainly, product creators could never write a sales letter with their crap arguments

A Word Of Warning About Copywriting…
