We are talking about highly skilled, well-trained leaders spending the majority of their time emailing (a low-level skill) on the days when their unique abilities are needed the most.

Some claim that absolutely anyone can become a successful freelance copywriter, even those without writing skills or special expertise. At the very least, you must be an above-average writer with some selling skills and a firm grasp of your specialty. They want your fees, skills, service, knowledge, etc. That’s bunk.
