[AWAI]( WEEK IN REVIEW --------------------------------------------------------------- October 26 – 30, 2020 Hi {NAME}, Last chance to join Circle of Success at 2020 Pricing — Membership will be higher in 2021 We've been piling on the benefits at Circle of Success for years — including dozens of new courses and resources … bringing on more copywriter mentors … and bolstering the personalized training and writing feedback that COS is famous for. And even though the cost of bringing you this experience has gone up, we haven't raised the price — until now. But before we do — we wanted to give you one last chance to get in at the "old" price, and claim discounts and entitlements that may be "no longer" when we reopen to new members in 2021. Remember, Circle of Success is for anyone who's serious about a high-paying writing career and wants success fast. And considering there are members who have earned over a million dollars so far in their career as a result of the training and access Circle of Success gave them — it'll still be a bargain in 2021.
