Today’s guest for the 224th episode of The Copywriter Club podcast is Bree Weber.  Bree has a somewhat different approach to cold pitching than some past guests we’ve had on the podcast.  One that takes a lot more time, but also seems to get better results.  We ask her not only to divulge all of the secrets to her process, but she also shares a pitch she used to land a big client. One we think will make you want to pause this episode and take note.  Scroll down to have a listen.
