Generic copy is rarely a writing problem. It is a decision problem that got handed to a writer.

When a company cannot say what it does differently, the words default to the ones everybody else uses — solutions, passionate, trusted, end-to-end — because those words are available to anyone and cost nothing to claim. They are not weak because they are badly written. They are weak because they are equally true of your competitors.

The test is simple and slightly brutal. Put your sentence beside the three companies you lose deals to. If it would work on their website, it is not your sentence. Most companies fail this on the first line of their home page.

The fix is not a thesaurus. It is finding the specific, checkable, slightly risky thing that only you can say: the thirty-one years without a lost pallet, the four farms you have actually visited, the fact that you tell a client when they are going to lose. Specificity is what makes a claim unforgeable, and being unforgeable is what makes it memorable.

Writing it down takes about a week. Deciding what goes in it is the part that takes longer, and the part most companies skip.
