Contoh percakapan lengkap

Michael Hartono: Thanks for the draft, Tasya. I'll be honest, I'm not convinced. The headline talks about getting paid faster, but it doesn't mention a single feature, and we have over twenty!Terima kasih atas drafnya, Tasya. Jujur, saya belum yakin. Judulnya bicara soal dibayar lebih cepat, tapi tidak menyebut satu fitur pun, padahal fitur kami lebih dari dua puluh!
Kamu: I see where you're coming from. But visitors decide in seconds, so the headline sells the result. The features come right below.
Michael Hartono: Hmm, fair enough. But all our competitors say they're the number one app in Indonesia. Can't we say that too?Hmm, masuk akal. Tapi semua pesaing kami bilang mereka aplikasi nomor satu di Indonesia. Kenapa kita tidak bilang begitu juga?
Kamu: I'd advise against it unless we can prove it. We could say we're trusted by twelve thousand small businesses instead. It's true, and it's more convincing.
Michael Hartono: Okay, we'll stick to claims we can prove. Now, the button says start your free trial, but our developer thinks it should just say submit. What do you think?Oke, kita pakai klaim yang bisa dibuktikan saja. Sekarang, tombolnya bertuliskan start your free trial, tapi developer kami pikir cukup ditulis submit. Bagaimana menurut Anda?
Kamu: I'd keep start your free trial. It tells people exactly what they get, risk-free. Submit sounds like filling in a tax form.
Michael Hartono: Fine, you've convinced me. Last thing: the page feels a bit short. Could we add our company history and the founders' story at the top?Baiklah, Anda berhasil meyakinkan saya. Terakhir: halamannya terasa agak pendek. Bisakah kita menambahkan sejarah perusahaan dan cerita para pendiri di bagian atas?
Kamu: Great idea, it builds trust. What if we put it further down the page, so the top stays focused on the free trial?
Michael Hartono: Okay, I can live with that. So what happens next?Oke, saya bisa terima itu. Jadi, langkah selanjutnya apa?
Kamu: I'll send the revised page by Thursday, with the twelve thousand claim and your story further down. Then we can test it with real visitors.
Michael Hartono: Good, that works for me. Send me the revision on Thursday, and let's see how it performs. Nice work, Tasya.Bagus, itu cocok buat saya. Kirimkan revisinya hari Kamis, lalu kita lihat hasilnya. Kerja bagus, Tasya.

Kamu mempertahankan copy dengan argumen yang meyakinkan, menolak klaim berlebihan dengan halus, dan menawarkan kompromi. Klien setuju dengan revisi dan rencana pengujiannya.

Jawaban mana yang paling pas, dan kenapa

Michael Hartono: Thanks for the draft, Tasya. I'll be honest, I'm not convinced. The headline talks about getting paid faster, but it doesn't mention a single feature, and we have over twenty!

✓ I see where you're coming from. But visitors decide in seconds, so the headline sells the result. The features come right below.

Mengakui sudut pandang klien dulu, lalu memberi alasan yang logis. Fitur tidak dibuang, hanya ditempatkan setelah benefit.

✗ Because benefit is more important than feature. Customer don't care about the feature. (Bisa dipahami, tapi kurang pas)

Prinsipnya benar, tapi grammar-nya perlu jamak (Customers don't care about features) dan nadanya terlalu blak-blakan. Lebih persuasif: People buy the result; the features support it.

✗ With respect, Michael, you're not the copywriter here. I've done this for eight years, so please just trust my expertise on this one. (Kurang tepat)

Meremehkan klien yang membayarmu hampir pasti memicu konflik. Yakinkan dengan alasan: I see where you're coming from, but here's my reasoning.

Michael Hartono: Hmm, fair enough. But all our competitors say they're the number one app in Indonesia. Can't we say that too?

✓ I'd advise against it unless we can prove it. We could say we're trusted by twelve thousand small businesses instead. It's true, and it's more convincing.

Menolak dengan halus (I'd advise against it) dan langsung memberi alternatif yang jujur dan spesifik. Klaim berbasis fakta lebih dipercaya.

✗ Can, but I think it is not really true, so better we use other sentence. (Bisa dipahami, tapi kurang pas)

Can di awal kalimat terjemahan langsung dari bisa, dan butuh another sentence. Lebih baik: We could, but only if we can prove it.

✗ Sure, why not? Everybody exaggerates in marketing anyway. Nobody checks. (Kurang tepat)

Klaim yang tidak bisa dibuktikan berisiko merusak reputasi dan melanggar aturan iklan. Usulkan klaim yang jujur: Trusted by twelve thousand small businesses.

Michael Hartono: Okay, we'll stick to claims we can prove. Now, the button says start your free trial, but our developer thinks it should just say submit. What do you think?

✓ I'd keep start your free trial. It tells people exactly what they get, risk-free. Submit sounds like filling in a tax form.

Alasan yang jelas (spesifik dan tanpa risiko) ditambah perbandingan yang mudah diingat. CTA yang baik menyebut apa yang didapat pengguna.

✗ Submit is too boring. Everybody use it, so people will not click. (Bisa dipahami, tapi kurang pas)

Seharusnya Everybody uses it. Alasannya juga lemah; lebih kuat: It tells people exactly what they get.

✗ Whatever you prefer, honestly. It's only a small button at the bottom of the page, so it doesn't really matter what it says. (Kurang tepat)

CTA adalah salah satu elemen terpenting di landing page, jadi sikap cuek membuat klien meragukan keahlianmu. Beri rekomendasi: I'd keep start your free trial, and here's why.

Michael Hartono: Fine, you've convinced me. Last thing: the page feels a bit short. Could we add our company history and the founders' story at the top?

✓ Great idea, it builds trust. What if we put it further down the page, so the top stays focused on the free trial?

Menghargai ide klien lalu menawarkan kompromi dengan What if we...? Klien merasa didengar, dan halaman tetap fokus.

✗ Can, but I think the history is boring for customer. They only want to know about the product, the price and how to start. (Bisa dipahami, tapi kurang pas)

Butuh jamak (customers), dan menyebut cerita klien boring kurang sopan. Tawarkan kompromi: What if we put it further down the page?

✗ No, that's a terrible idea. Nobody reads company history on a landing page, trust me, I have done this many times. (Kurang tepat)

Menolak mentah-mentah dengan kata terrible merusak hubungan. Hargai idenya lalu tawarkan kompromi: What if we put it further down the page?
