About Lane Therrell

Right Lane Enterprises
My Business Philosophy
My name is Lane Therrell. I help people succeed in business by putting words together so their messages are clear, concise and compelling. My experience has shown that effective communication is one of the most important and yet one of the most often overlooked and underestimated keys to business success.
During my 15-year career in agricultural public relations, I learned that what you say and how you say it can have a powerful influence on your return on investment (ROI). Word choice can make the difference between success and failure; sale and no-sale, excellence and mediocrity. I strive for excellence in everything I do, and share that with my clients by helping them choose the right words to sell their products and services.
While your success in business depends on saying it right in writing, good copy involves much more than just writing -- it's about packaging and delivering the full message in a way that stands out and allows your voice to be heard.
Let Right Lane Enterprises guide you along the path to effective communication: The right lane gets you where you want to go.
My Education, Experience and Expertise
I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science from North Carolina State University, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications/Public Relations from North Carolina State University, and a master's degree in Rhetoric and Communication from the University of California, Davis. I have nearly two decades of experience in writing, editing, public relations and organizational development.
I have written copy for a variety of agencies and public- and private-sector organizations including Ciba-Geigy, Dow Agrosciences, Crop Data Management Systems, the California Department of Food and Agriculture, the California Department of Education, the California Department of Developmental Services, the Placer County Farm Bureau, Elysian Fields and Resolution. My articles have been published in The Sacramento Bee, The California Farmer, The American Biology Teacher, Cowboy, The Shepherd, The Anvil's Ring and Inside Roseville, just to name a few.
My expertise is making high-level scientific or technical topics interesting and easy to understand; distilling complex concepts down to their bare essence. I'm especially good at transforming an individual's personal story into something that is interesting and inspiring to others. I have a knack for writing and delivering presentations simple, interesting and easy to understand.
My Qualifications
I am uniquely qualified to help you put the right words together because my writing skills and experience combine product knowledge and technical expertise with sales ability. I deliver top-notch customer service and have the people-skills to work well with your existing team to achieve all your communication goals.
I write clean, clear, credible, persuasive copy about a wide range of products and services from the simple to the highly technical. I am able to quickly grasp complex concepts and understand sophisticated technologies. My clients always appreciate the fact that I can sit down with anyone, whether they are farmers, construction workers, engineers, scientists, CEOs, artists, politicians or dignitaries and ask intelligent, insightful questions.
My Values and Your Guarantee
I am a well-educated and experienced, yet down-to-earth, professional. Common sense and personal accountability drive everything I do. What that means for you, as a customer, is peace of mind. When we work together, you know you are receiving my personal attention and best work-nothing less.

What you say and how you say it can have a powerful influence on your return on investment (ROI). The right words really do make a difference. Mark Twain said it best: "The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug." There is no charge to discuss your needs and develop a cost estimate. Contact me. I look forward to working with you.
