White papers can work wonders for business, but it takes an expert white paper copywriter to craft a heavy hitter.
The marriage of wordsmith craftsmanship, savvy marketing acumen and clever sales psychology is a skill few firms can boast, but with two decades of experience in crafting compelling copy and experience as a Marketing Director specializing in content strategy, I can apply that trifecta of skills toward producing powerful, optimized writing that makes a mark on the target audience.
Whatever your goal for the paper, my work drives targeted interest in your business while compelling the reader to take whatever action you desire.
White Paper Writing and the Sales Cycle
White papers are ideal for use early in the sales cycle, but they function beautifully throughout the entire process. As one of the few pieces of marketing collateral likely to be spontaneously shared between colleagues and interested parties, they generate brand awareness automatically. Then, they credential your claims when prospects and leads are researching you. In other words, white papers can:
- Generate leads at the start of the sales funnel,
- Nurture prospective customers in the middle, and
- Support buying decisions at the end.
