Gary is brilliant when it comes to copywriting. One of the best ever and acknowledged as such by the best of the best of his peers. I was at Gary\u2019s once-in-a-lifetime retirement seminar May 20th, 2005, at The St. Regis Hotel in New York City, along with 130 of the most brilliant minds in copywriting, marketing and sales.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>In addition to Gary \u201ctelling all\u201d about how to become a successful copywriter, he revealed 2 of his \u201csecret weapons\u201d for generating ideas and bullets.
