COPY WRITING

Goes something like, 'Men buy things to prove two things, one to their wife' and the other? I forget...I admit, I forgot to write that one down. It's a good one.

Thanks In Advance

I don't think it's Twain dude, but it goes: "There are two reasons a man buys something: the real reason, and the reason they tell you."

There's a great lesson in there about the real buying motivations and knowing the difference makes a huge conversion difference.

Thanks

It was Mark Twain - "There are two reasons a man buys anything - The reason he can tell his wife, and the real reason."
