About this episode

Tom Hammaker’s life in copywriting took a radical turn last month when he was hired to become Rich Schefren’s copywriter. 

Better yet, Tom won the gig in a six-week competitive search against dozens of other copywriters – some with more than 20 years in the game. 

We called it “The Goods,” and clearly Tom has them. 

In this episode you’ll hear directly from Tom how he approached “The Goods,” his strategy for the final copy test, and what it’s like to work with one of the best marketing teams in the world, led by a bonafide legend of Direct Response.
