How to hire sales copywriting specialists
Sales copywriters know how to use language to encourage readers to convert. Sales copy is straightforward, conversational, and targeted. It uses a combination of short simple sentences, information, and psychological triggers to persuade readers to take a specific action.
So how do you hire sales copywriters? What follows are some tips for finding top sales copywriters on Upwork.
How to shortlist sales copywriting professionals
As you’re browsing available sales copywriting consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:
- Industry fit. You want a sales copywriter who understands your industry so they can help you figure out how best to reach your target market.
- Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., writing B2B sales pages).
- Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular sales copywriter.
How to write an effective sales copywriting job post
With a clear picture of your ideal sales copywriters in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for an independent professional to know if they’re the right fit for the project.
An effective sales copywriting job post should include:
- Scope of work: From landing page copy to email newsletters, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
- Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
- Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or marketing channels, mention this here.
- Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
