Get Laughed At. Get Rich.

Get Laughed At. Get Rich.

Elon Musk once thought drivers would want to drive electric cars instead of regular cars. People laughed at him –but he built the Tesla electric car empire

Another entrepreneur—Dietrich Mateschitz- thought of soft drinks. He looked at companies like Coca Cola. He noticed such drinks were very sweet, tasted great, and were cheap.

Dietrich thought, “What if we produce a costly & slightly revolting caffeinated drink in a tiny can?”

That was years ago. This drink is Red Bull.

The experts laughed at Dietrich too. Soft drink customers also laughed at him when they heard about the idea. What is the result? Now millions of people can’t imagine a trip to the grocery store or gas station without grabbing a Red Bull.

Red Bull has gone from being the drink of choice for truck drivers in Thailand to a global phenomenon.

Today Red Bull Is an 18 billion dollar empire. Hundreds of imitation companies are trying to follow Red Bull’s lead.

So don’t let people discourage you if you have a great idea. Run with it and let the market decide.

How can you come up with-and implement-ideas faster than your competition?

Highly Recommend

“I want to highly recommend Wes if you are in need of great copy and/or sales page! I was doing my own copy around my sales page for a high ticket service product and needed help!! I didn’t have a fully blown “sales page” that could explain this complex product as well as why someone should pay me a lot of money to buy this product and that is when I reached out to Wes. As a result of working together, I now have an amazing sales page that is already converting new customers. Also, when I have worked with copywriters in the past, I’ve needed to make massive edits as they didn’t spend the time to research and actually understand what it was I was selling. With Wes, he did massive research and even though the “copy” was about 20 pages long, I had very few edits. He also was super responsive and timely with the work! I would highly recommend Wes for your work project!”

Wes is Process-Oriented

“Wes is process-oriented and was instrumental in providing the team a baseline for quality expectations and direction for overall performance improvement. He is a strong advocate for Agile methods and a believer in practicing known principles that lead to expected outcomes. That said, Wes was always open to new ideas and adjustments for the benefit of team. He is comfortable working with management and executive stakeholders to meet common goals. Additionally, Wes contributed his talents in crafting presentations and content for business case value and promotion.”

Mark Himeda

CEO of Versiq LLC

Exceptional Leadership Skills

“Wes leads as Scrum Master for an external IAM (Authorization) based application, to which I have the pleasure of serving as Product Owner. Wes has a mastery level of understanding of agile principles and it’s application. Attention to quality, exceptional leadership skills, and a builder of relationships with customers is why I depend on Wes day in and day out. An underrated prowess for Wes is his ability to persuade stakeholders through written communication. This skill is an asset to the team as executive style summaries are needed to detail out the objectives and business impact of our production releases. If you are looking for someone who is solution oriented in their thinking and cares about the “TEAM’s” success, then Wes is someone who I would strongly recommend.”

Proactive, Hardworking, and Knowledgeable

“Right away I could tell Wesam was a pro. He is proactive, hardworking, and knowledgeable. He is skilled at applying Agile concepts and tools. Perhaps most impressive is Wesam’s ability to make the most of my time with the team, keeping conversation and objectives crisp and focused. We often ended sprint cadence meetings early due to his ability to drive us towards outcomes. In the end, we completed the project on-time and under budget. I highly recommend Wesam to any IT team in need of an experienced, energetic and success-driven project manager.”

Joshua Schlager

Senior Manager, Enterprise Architecture at Boeing

Quite Beneficial

“Wes is quite skilled at his trade and is willing to share his knowledge to help my team realize success. The knowledge Wes shared has been quite beneficial for the project team to make substantial progress toward delivery of a solution.

Wes is very professional and a great team player. Wes contributes to my projects success and is more than willing to take on more responsibility. I would gladly work with Wes on future endeavors.”

Sr. Manager, Boeing IS Access Management Technologies

Highly Recommended

“I learned of Wesam’s copywriting work because of our shared professional interests in the “Lean” methodology. In working with Wesam, I appreciate how he used the practices of experimental problem solving to a business challenge I was facing. Wesam worked with me to define the problem related to my email marketing list, and he worked with me in a very collaborative way, writing copy that I used to invite people to remain active on my list. His writing was effective and, again, the process and the approach that he used were much appreciated. Highly recommended”

Would Recommend

“With Wesam coming onboard as Scrum Master, our teams are starting to see improvement. I appreciate Wesam’s encouragement to solve the root cause instead of the symptoms. Documents like the 4SPS, Standard Work, and Quick & Easy are all tools introduced to identify and document the root cause. I would recommend him as an Agile Scrum Master with the qualifications and communications skills to push teams to improve by investing time to solve the root cause when possible.”

Best Performing Copy in Years

“The marketing team at SamCart has historically been very small, and our day to day involved scrambling to dump new visitors into our funnel or to put out fires. Unfortunately, this left very little manpower to think about long term nurture campaigns or really increasing our customer understanding and front-end messaging.

As we continued to grow and gain funding, it quickly became clear that we needed resources dedicated to those very initiatives and now had the money to expand our team.

After bringing Power Persuasion on, we noticed a marked increase in the effectiveness of our ad, email, and sales page copy. By really getting into our customer’s minds, Power Persuasion was able to write copy that emotionally resonated with our buyers like never before, and their copy led to some of our best performing copy in years.”
