Copywriting Training for Your Team
Every message your team puts out is a representation of your business.
Emails, social media posts, blogs, landing pages, adverts, direct messages, direct mails, press releases – the list goes on.
And what do all those things have in common?
Words.
And the words you use can make the difference between winning a new customer and turning them off forever.
Write to Sell is designed to give your team the skills and confidence to create sales copy and marketing content that resonates with your prospects and customers.
It’s not just about sticking words on a page – it’s about understanding the purpose behind them. Who are you writing for, and what action do you want them to take next?

“I was seeking a training course for my marketing team to establish core copywriting fundamentals and help them expand on their skillset. After a brief introduction with Lisa, I was confident in her approach and curriculum.
Now that the training is complete, I can say that I could not be more pleased with the training and the feedback I’ve gathered from my team. Her lessons were easy to understand and she helped the team apply them to real world examples in their roles. She also made the training engaging and interactive.
I would highly recommend Lisa’s ‘Write to Sell’ training to any marketing team looking to up-level their copywriting skills.”
Allison Shaub, Chief Marketing Officer
“Lisa was really knowledgeable and friendly. The team really enjoyed the course and she tailored it to our sector, so we could easily see ways to improve our copy.”

Options and pricing
Write to Sell can be delivered in person anywhere in the UK and is best suited to smaller groups of up to 10 people (max 15). If you would like training for a larger audience, contact me to discuss your needs.
Depending on which elements you want us to focus on, Write to Sell works best as a full-day workshop or two consecutive half-day workshops.
Full-day copywriting workshop:
Recommended if your team have a good understanding of marketing but would like to improve their general copywriting skills.
Base price: £1500+vat (payable on booking)
Plus £200+vat per attendee (to be paid no later than 48 hours before your course date).
Approximate timings:
- Morning session: 3 hours 30 (inc.10-15 minute break)
- Lunch: 45-60 minutes
- Afternoon session: 2 hours 45 (inc. 10-15 minute break)
Works well as a 9:30-16:30 session with lunch break around 13:00, but can be adjusted to start and end earlier or later to suit your business.
Two-day copywriting workshop:
Recommended if your team contains non-marketers or if you would like to go into more detail on specific types of copy.
Base price: £2500+vat (payable on booking)
Plus £200+vat per attendee (to be paid no later than 48 hours before day one of your course)
Approximate timings:
- Day one: 4 hours (inc 15-20 minute break)
- Day two: 4 hours (inc 15-20 minute break)
Works best as two consecutive days and I recommend not leaving more than one week between sessions.
If you would like to book Write to Sell for your team, email me at lisa@makeyourcopycount.com or book a free 15-minute call to discuss your requirements.
Write to Sell + Content Marketing Workshop:
My content marketing workshop can be added to either of the above options at an additional fixed fee of £1200+vat. I recommend holding the content marketing workshop within 30 days of the original course and allowing a full day.
Write to Sell online:
Although Write to Sell for teams works best in person, it can also be delivered via Zoom. I recommend splitting it into 4 x 90-minute sessions with practical tasks to complete between each session.
Write to Sell for individuals:
If you are looking for training for yourself or a single member of your team, you might find my 12-week training and mentoring programme more beneficial. This is bespoke training and can include any or all of the Write to Sell elements as well as copy reviews and one-on-one support.
Bespoke content:
If you have very specific requirements for your copywriting training, I’m more than happy to discuss your needs and put together some bespoke content.
Write to Sell outside the UK:
Write to Sell can be delivered to teams outside the UK. If you want in-person training, the fee will be adjusted to cover travel and accommodation. Alternatively, Write to Sell can be delivered over Zoom.

About Make Your Copy Count Ltd
I started trading as Lisa Slater Copywriting in 2014 and incorporated Make Your Copy Count Ltd in 2017.
Prior to the launch of Make Your Copy Count, I had been focusing solely on “done for you” copywriting services. During that time, I identified a real need for simple, practical copywriting and content marketing training. So as well as launching a new brand, I also launched two courses: Blogging for Business and Write to Sell.
Since 2020, I have moved away from offering done-for-you copywriting services, focusing more time on delivering high-quality training, consulting and mentoring services.
If you would like to improve your team’s copy or content writing skills, I’d love to hear from you.
