Audio interview with Michel Fortin

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 didn’t 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.
