Clear beats clever every time. Here’s how to simplify your message and convert more clients.
Most Creatives Overcomplicate Things
It’s not intentional. It usually comes from a good place.
You want to sound professional. You want to showcase your expertise. You want to use the “right” language.
But here’s the problem.
When your prospects are confused, they don’t buy.
If they have to think too hard to understand what you do, what you offer, or how you help, they’re gone.
Simplicity Is a Business Skill
I had to learn this the hard way.
I used to write clever headlines. Craft fancy taglines. Design stunning websites with zero conversions.
Then I asked myself a simple question:
Would a 5-year-old understand this?
Because if a 5-year-old gets it, your client will too.
And that level of clarity is what drives trust, action, and results.
How to Make It Simple and Powerful
You don’t need to water down your message.
You just need to make it easier to grasp.
Here’s what that looks like:
- Use plain language. No jargon. No fluff.
- Focus on the problem you solve, not the features you offer.
- Say it like you’re talking to a friend, not writing an essay.
Example:
Instead of “We develop scalable digital infrastructure for business growth”
Say: “We help your website get more clients and make you more money”
One is vague.
One is clear.
Only one converts.
Simple Is Profitable
This isn’t just about copy.
Your proposals, your sales calls, your onboarding, it all needs to be clear, direct, and easy to follow.
Because when things are simple, people move faster. They trust you more. And they’re more likely to say yes.
That’s how you close bigger deals.
That’s how you lead with confidence.
That’s how you scale your consulting business with ease.
