“Though he’s amassed formidable copywriting chops, the business value James contributes in a variety of roles might be more impressive.”

A really effective way to kick this process off is to think in terms of explaining your solution in the space of a half-panel on a brochure. Useful visual elements arranged strategically will help you reduce the number of words needed for context.

In any case, the goal is to make it as easy as possible for prospects to quickly grasp the value of your product.
