Disagreements

Start from your customers, or from the market?

Annie Maguire

collects the words first. Surveys, interviews and review mining produce a hundred or more tagged insights, and the count of what people actually said decides the hierarchy, the content and the language of the page.

Eugene Schwartz

works from a model of the market instead. Where the prospects sit on the awareness ladder, and how many competing claims they have already heard, tells you what the headline has to do before you learn anything about an individual buyer.
