Conversion Copywriting and Voice of Customer

Conversion copywriting and voice-of-customer (VOC) research. Not prose craft — evidence gathering and message strategy for the copywriter or PM before the prose gets written. Covers VOC research sources (customer reviews, support tickets, sales-call transcripts, Reddit and community threads, G2/Trustpilot, exit surveys); the they-say/we-say gap analysis (how customers describe the problem vs how the marketing team describes it); Jobs-to-be-Done message extraction (functional, emotional, and social JTBD from customer language); building a message hierarchy (primary claim, proof, objection handlers); post-purchase and “what almost stopped you” surveys to surface objection inventories; hypothesis-driven copy testing (what to A/B test — headline, value prop, CTA, lead, hero image — and why); Eugene Schwartz stages of awareness applied to VOC; the HiPPO (“highest-paid person’s opinion”) problem in copy decisions. Route prose framework questions (AIDA, PAS, CTA wording) to content-and-marketing-writing; A/B test statistics to da-analytical-methods; persuasion theory to applied-psychology.
