I’m not too bad at casual writing but when it comes to sales, especially to sell my skills, I keep feeling like I lack a certain grace or flair with words.

Chat gpt can help with suggestions but I always find anything I write with its assistance feels, well, robotic in a way. Awkward.

So I’m reaching out to you for your inspirational word material out there. English isn’t my native language so I’m hoping to improve it further with your suggestions. Authors? Websites? Perhaps eloquent YT creators I can learn from transcribing what they say?

Thanks

      Oh, OP is way beyond ‘native speaker’; and really impressive.

      Remember, today’s average writer pluralizes ‘e-mail’ with an s - probably with an apostrophe - and also uses ‘the ask’ and ‘the spend’, for example. This is so much better.

      Thanks. Like I said I write well but informally. It’s the “professional” style associated with cover letters or product sales that I have a problem with. I’ve noticed some people can even speak fluently in a similar manner without problems.

      Was hoping to see specific authors good at this style of writing but instead most answers are “just pick someone good”.
