How to use the FAB formula to write copy that generates sales

Tired of writing sales copy that just seems to list out features and specs, but leaves your readers yawning? In this special 150th episode of Ill Communication, I’m diving into the secret sauce that transforms dull, lifeless sales copy into a message that sparks curiosity and inspires action: the FAB Formula. It’s the technique that helps you bridge the gap between what your offer is and why it matters. Plus, I’m celebrating this incredible milestone—150 episodes of helping you become an ill communicator—and sharing my gratitude for your support every step of the way.

Topics Covered in This Episode:

• 3:45 - The FAB Formula: what it is and how it works
• 5:19 - How to transform a dry feature list into compelling benefits using real examples
• 6:47 - Two key phrases that instantly bridge features and benefits in your copy
