A
direct response copywriter for almost 15 years, Michel
Fortin has an uncanny knack for writing clearly, persuasively
and vibrantly.
His track record speaks
for itself. In the last few years, he was instrumental
in selling several millions of dollars worth of products
and services for a wide variety of clients stretching
hundreds of different and unrelated industries.
One of his salesletters
sold a record-breaking $1.08 million online on the
first day. But that didnt stop him. A few months
later, another salesletter for a completely different
product generated over $1.04 million.
On a personal note:
Over the past couple of years, Michel has been instrumental
in helping me learn and fine-tune my own copywriting
abilities and for that, I'm forever grateful. He is
one of the best mentors I've ever had the chance of
learning from. Thanks Michel for being there when
I needed advice and for sharing so much great information
with others as well.
