ARE YOU GOOD ENOUGH TO BE A B2B WRITER?

​

• Do clients rave about your work?

• Do you have writing samples that you can’t wait to show us?

• Do you take deadlines seriously and do whatever it takes to hit them—except sacrifice quality?

• Is the phrase “writing is rewriting” something you understand deep in your bones?

• Do you strive to understand the client objectives behind every piece you write?

• Can you write about highly technical topics from scratch, based on interviews you conduct with subject matter experts?

• When you rewrite a subject matter expert’s copy, do you look up everything you don’t understand so you are truly adding value and not just making the words sound good?

• Are your first drafts typically accepted with little to no changes?

• When clients do request changes, do you make them graciously and without being defensive?

• Do you secretly believe that you’re not as good as you think you are, so you review and double-check everything? Even a simple email to a friend? 

• Do you treat each day and everyone with gratitude and respect?
