Josh Braun Writing Principles

Josh Braun 写作原则

The 5 Principles

5条核心原则

  1. Write with an eraser - Remove every unnecessary word
  2. Be cheeky - Personality matters, make them smile
  3. Be specific - Credibility comes through precision
  4. Don't say "we reduce costs" - Say "e-commerce companies doing $5k/month overpaying 10-15%"
  5. Use loss aversion - Frame around what they're losing, not gaining

  1. 像用橡皮写作一样 - 删除所有不必要的词汇
  2. 带点小俏皮 - 个性很重要,要让对方会心一笑
  3. 表述要具体 - 精准带来可信度
  4. 别笼统说“我们帮您降本” - 要说“月营收5000美元的电商企业多支付了10-15%的成本”
  5. 利用损失厌恶心理 - 围绕对方正在失去的东西来表述,而非能获得的

Personalization Best Practices

个性化最佳实践

DO:

建议做:

  • Custom prompts based on research
  • Facts prospects consistently care about
  • Time business was founded (owners proud of longevity)
  • Recent company news/changes
  • Tech stack signals
  • 基于调研定制开场白
  • 提及潜在客户持续关注的事实
  • 公司成立时间(创始人通常为企业的存续时长感到自豪)
  • 企业近期的新闻/变动
  • 技术栈相关信息

DON'T:

不要做:

  • Generic AI compliments ("Love your work!")
  • Content that sounds same as what they already have
  • Over-personalization that feels creepy
  • Complimenting LinkedIn posts without substance

  • 千篇一律的AI生成赞美(比如“喜欢你的工作!”)
  • 内容与对方已收到的邮件雷同
  • 过度个性化,让对方感到不适
  • 空洞地夸赞LinkedIn帖子

Key Takeaways

核心要点

  • Specificity = Credibility: "47% increase" beats "significant improvement"
  • Loss > Gain: People act more to avoid loss than to gain
  • Every word must earn its place: If it doesn't add value, delete it
  • Personality differentiates: Be human, not corporate

  • 具体性=可信度:“提升47%”远胜于“大幅改善”
  • 损失>收益:人们为避免损失采取行动的意愿远高于追求收益
  • 每个词汇都要有存在的意义:如果没有价值,就删掉它
  • 个性打造差异化:要有人情味,而非刻板的企业话术
