We are all selling something, right? Then why is it that we are so afraid to ask simple, yet direct, questions, in order to generate sales?
Let’s look at the last question for a second: Would you like to get away to the bush next weekend?
Ask yourself that question right now.
Here are the most likely answers your mind will ping back, without you even thinking about it:
Now, the “Yes, it depends on…” might come with a few conditions. Those conditions could be affordability and accessibility, but you’ve already made up your mind and provided you can get the deal to work, you will probably find yourself in the bush next weekend.
The mind has 80 000 thoughts a day. Seems odd, that if you have a marketing message, you wouldn’t get straight to the point. We are all so busy these days, that if your marketing message isn’t specific & addressing a direct need, it will get lost in amongst the 79 999 other thoughts the brain is juggling.
But as marketers, we don’t do that, do we? We don’t ask simple questions, because that would seem too easy. We’ve been taught to identify target audiences and sell benefits and use subtle, persuasive techniques to generate wishy washy interest.
Does this sound familiar?
Book a 3 night stay in the bush, which includes all your meals & a free game drive!
There is a flaw in the logic. How can you start pushing benefits when you haven’t established interest?
