It’s a different way to “sell” something. The stereotype is like two people sitting across the table from each other. The salesperson is trying to 1) explain the features 2) overcome objections and 3) close the sale. It’s an adversarial process at best. It’s a lot better to get onto the same side of the table, see the problem from the customer’s perspective and work together to find a solution that is truly a win-win. BTW - found you while I was “stumbling” - great post. Take care…

I can see where you are coming from with this, and it makes sense. A lot of marketing has to do with psychology and understanding how the mind works.

If you can get into their mindset, or simply put yourself in their mindset and figure out what would get your to complete the desired action, you will have better success getting others to complete that action.

At least…..I think so….

I always try to change perspective, just in case something is different from other point of view.
Nice post. Thanks Darren.

And looking at things from a different point of view isn’t limited to internet marketing, you can use it in your daily life.

Pretty decent post IMO. Finding the exact way to market to a particular genre is probably the hardest part of Internet Marketing. Of course every marketing campaign would work great if you were trying to sell to yourself. Finding what your potential target audience wants is key. Finding what that is by stepping back and viewing it from their perspective is the hard part! I would guess this is what makes the great marketers what they are (I wish I could hone that skill!).

I agree completely, good post. This same lesson shows in a recent collaboration I have in the works for a stock market blog. Two very different ideas that me and the other owner sat down to work out in a friendly atmosphere and merge our efforts.

I kinda got a kick out of Agent’s “mind blowing” remark above , and I wouldn’t say it was THAT good for me, haha, but a great reminder lesson that needed to be put out in the open

Darren nice mind blowing article. I feel I kinda understand the line by Henry Ford. I am a thinker and like to think things both way. I agree we need to create a win-win situation. Thanks,it is informative for me.

@ Jason: I will mail you soon. I think as the image is hosted on blogger it is not displaying. Thanks for telling me.
