Loss Aversion in Sales
- Focus on loss aversion; buyers are motivated by fear of loss, not pleasure of gain.
- Emphasize the opportunity cost of not changing, rather than potential gains.
Emotionally Charged Messaging
- Use emotionally charged words that resonate with buyers on a visceral level.
- Incorporate vivid language to trigger the limbic brain and evoke emotional responses.
Social Bidding
- Use "social bids" by openly sharing information about pricing, competition, implementation, and shortcomings.
- This builds trust and triggers reciprocity, encouraging buyers to share valuable insights.
