Showcase customer transformations with specific results, clear processes, and buyer pain points that prospects recognise and relate to in themselves.

How to write case studies that sell

Introduction

Most case studies are boring. They list what you did without explaining why it mattered or how you did it. Prospects skim them and learn nothing. Strong case studies tell a story: here's the problem, here's why it was hard, here's how we solved it, here's what changed. The best case studies make prospects think "that's exactly my situation." They see themselves in the customer's pain, understand your methodology, and trust that you can deliver similar results. This chapter shows you how to write case studies that sell by focusing on transformation, not features.

Use specific metrics and tangible results shown
