About
Hi, I’m Chris Dole, a B2B writer/editor who is steeped in the tech industry. I offer a variety of copy editing, content writing, copy writing, and sales enablement services.
The B2B buyer’s journey requires many interactions with a number of buyer roles. I am a writer/editor who blends industry experience with best practices, which means I can target content to fit each of the roles on the buyer committee.
The work I do for you addresses the prospect’s needs and interests. This is the key to moving a prospect along the buyer’s journey.
Industry Experience
You’ve found a writer with:
-
Experience in software, analytics, insurance, publishing, health, finance, disaster recovery, and pharma. This means I have developed skills across industries to communicate with people in the roles you need to persuade.
-
Background in not just writing/editing content, copy, and sales enablement, but also manuals, requirements, architecture, design, and testing documentation. This means I have experience describing a range of topics to a variety of audiences.
-
Long-term participation in the public speaking club Toastmasters International. This means I have established abilities to help with verbal as well as written projects.
Bottom line, you’ve got a writer/editor who can help communicate with and persuade your prospects in whatever projects you need done.
