Purpose/occasion: wedding speech

Project(s): major speech for a large wedding

Client: M.M. (Curacao, Antilles)

Comments: Bob was a tremendous help to me. He was quick and very sensitive to my needs. I gave him the ideas and he worked on it and created a masterpiece. When I received the first draft and read it aloud I could not contain my tears. His writing had a profound effect on me. It was that moment that I realized that my sister would be getting married, it was the moment that everything really hit home ! On a scale from one to ten he is an eleven. I will always continue to work with him. Keep up the good job !

Business philosophy

 

The foundation of Robert Block Wordcraft and Copywriting is the applied understanding that business is built on relationships. This common sense ethic permeates all business practices. From initial contact and proposal, through post-invoice follow up, client satisfaction remains the primary focus. In every sense, relationships are my business.

In professional practice, and personal belief, I support the entrepreneurial spirit of small business. And the people who take on the challenge. These are the origins, and future, of the American dream.

Many of us, in business today, have shared this advice with aspiring entrepreneurs. "Build your business on what you know and love." It's great advice. As I'm here to tell you. I love what I do for a living. I'm living the dream. And that's your assurance of complete dedication to my clients' satisfaction. It's a matter of personal pride. As your business is for you.

Everyone in business knows that satisfaction is also measured in dollars. The dollars that go into your pocket, the dollars that stay in your pocket. To earn that measure of satisfaction, we all apply the same basic business principles. Keep our costs down, and offer our customers value. For their hard earned dollars.

Because my passion is helping small business grow and prosper, I practice the above principle. To the max. By working at home, alone. All documents are created and printed on my own PC. No rent, no employees, no outsourcing. So clients pay only for my time. At reasonable, affordable rates. For small businesses, and individuals.

Fee Schedule

 

First, the mandatory disclaimer: The figures below are estimates.

Special note for business clients wanting to minimize costs: Fees are based on an hourly rate. The total fee is a combination of "research" and "writing" time.

Confidentiality

Your business is your business. And I take your confidence very seriously. As evidence, please note that you see no "client list", anywhere. I consider this my "discretionary responsibility". And it's the right policy for today's ruthlessly competitive world.

To write effective copy for you, that sells your product or service, I'll need to know and understand it. Thoroughly. And your competition. That's a reasonable working definition of "full confidence". That confidence must be respected. And it will be.

My policy is to never discuss clients, or their businesses. With anyone. Period. For your protection. Thanks for your understanding and appreciation.

Guarantee

 

Simply stated: If you aren't happy with the copy I produce for you, don't accept it, and don't pay.

Along with the initial draft(s), clients will receive the invoice, including an approval/rejection form. If the draft is approved, work will proceed, and necessary revisions will be made, at no additional charge. However, if the work's not satisfactory, simply reject and return it.

If you find this unusual, in today's "buyer beware" environment, I'll gladly explain. Referrals, from satisfied clients, provide a large segment of my business. As you see, under confidentiality, I'll never discuss your business with anyone. But, I'd greatly appreciate your talking about my business.
100% of my clients are satisfied. This guarantee is my insurance policy.
