67 Processes for Pain-Free Copywriting! (feat. Konrad Sanders)

The Story Selling Podcast

Processes are foundational to any successful system. If you find your marketing communications are sporadic or inconsistent, that in part can be a failure of process.

A good process not only frees up your own time, it also absolves your staff (or remote team) of responsibility when things go wrong. If they followed the process, then blame the process!
