Why doesn't sales copy work? (Hint: it is not because it lacks a magic phrase from a list of 19. Yes, that is a strange thing to say given this article's title.)
If the copy already says everything it should, take a closer look at the copywriter.
Whatever the text says, it is primarily the person behind it who sells.
If the person at the computer knows nothing about selling outside the internet, their copy will never sell. (A useful tip if you are looking for a copywriter: try to hire someone with a successful track record in offline sales.)
Of course, writing has its own techniques, and there are plenty of them. Learning them takes a long time, and discovering what actually works takes even longer.
