Admit one small flaw and people believe the rest

The pratfall effect: a competent person who makes a small blunder is liked more than one who seems perfect, because the slip makes them real. The same holds for a pitch โ€” a page or email that concedes one genuine limitation reads as honest, so readers extend that trust to the big claims beside it. Volunteer the small flaw before the prospect goes looking for it.

๐Ÿ’ก Why it matters

Copy and sales pitches that are flawless read as sales-y; owning a minor, honest limitation makes every other claim on the page more credible โ€” and it's free to add.

Keep snacking
