Copywriters are a little unique in that they use their own work to bring in more business. If your work has been inconsistent you should consider using a sales letter to generate leads. Once you figure out how much business you can expect from a certain amount of sales letters sent out, you can better control your work load. You can make sure you have business when you want it; you can send more letters out when you have more time to work or you can send out less when life get busier.

A sales letter can help you make more money from your telemarketing clients, or help gain new telemarketing clients. Telemarketing has become much more difficult in recent years due to new laws and extremely high turnover. A well made sales letter can make telemarketing more effective and potentially reduce turnover. If you can quantify your savings and train employees in better sales techniques, other telemarketing clients will want your business because you have demonstrated yourself effective in their difficult field.

Approaching dentists and doctors is another way to improve your business. Quite often these professionals are looking for new clients and you can use a sales letter to help stimulate more referrals.

These were just a few methods outlined in Dan Kennedy’s book. If you’re just starting out in copywriting, or even if you’re a seasoned profession, this article, and Dan Kennedy’s books, can help you discover new business sources. Hopefully this article will help you maximize your sales letter and make you a more successful copywriter.
