- Telling them in a way and place that they will listen and act (tell people what you are offering.
Understanding your customers needs, wants and desires
Needs- Differences between a person’s actual state and his or her ideal state; they provide the basic motivation to make a purchase (20% of buying decisions are based on logic)
Wants- Specific goods, services, experiences, or other entities that are desirable in light of a person’s experiences, culture, and personality (80% of buying decisions are based on emotions)
e.g. a cheap ford could get you to work, but a lot of people drive BMWs as its what they want
