The Greased Chute Trick


Driving around Orange County in Western New York. What a police officer told me that, years later, really helped my copywriting.

Solution #2 - Comparison This is like using a metaphor, but a lot simpler and, frankly, easier to do. It’s a powerful technique. Solution #3 - Random Phrases that work Sometimes it’s simpler than you think. But you gotta use the Best Words. You’ll get some of them in this part.
