The Psychology Behind Selling a Product

[@arigutman]

Sales is simply about allowing someone to share something with you and you then use their thinking and words to package it and sell right back to them... communication is key, more specifically listening. Selling is in listening, not talking.

Dr. Peterson, your thoughts on people buying into "not failing" over succeeding; it reminds me of how you address your audience. These individuals come from dark places (some of them; some darker than others) and are looking for a way to not drown, as opposed to these self-help guys that market success, money, and cars. Maybe it's more realistic for people to digest, or maybe the audience your work attracts is more concerned with limiting negative emotion as opposed to seeking positive emotion.

I guess this is one angle to it. Pain points matter a lot. This may or may not involve what the herd does. What I learned is to approach motivation from the 7 deadly sins. The sins reflect human motivation and if you are able to identify someone's "sin", you attack that angle. Say, someone has the tendency towards pride. Tell them how your thing can help him stand out and get praise. Say someone is envious. Then get a famous personality to endorse your thing. Then, point out that the famous person has your thing.

@@Sapphire1721 I don't see the rest being related to the video, but it's a bit simple really. Lust? Use sexy imagery, or dress yourself up, possibly provocatively. Sloth? Sell them the convenience, deliver on the promise, and normalise that convenience so it isn't perceived as a luxury. Greed? Create an illusion of scarcity. Make offers that are good only now. Point out the "savings" from buying more. Worst cases are, of course, outright scams. Sell the dream of getting everything you can imagine, quickly. Gluttony? Do what McDonald's does. Show scrumptious food eaten by happy people living active lifestyles, totally not getting fat. Wrath? The military industrial complex. Make people fight. Sell both sides the means to beat each other. Or the media, and possibly politics too. Cater to "a side", and show how stupid the "other side" is. The more angry they get at the image you create, the more you make. I don't really know how to identify them quickly. I'm a learner at this as well. I guess it can start with asking "What are you looking for?" I would like to think that eventually we can be more driven by the 7 virtues. Until we do, the reality is these temptations exist, and it's up to each one of us to grow wiser.

There are guys who are average looking, average build, have no car, no money, but still get girlfriends. Not only that, their girls gave them money and drive them everywhere. And, what ryan said with social validation helps but only gets them to the door. Once they walk inside to find out all of the food is garbage and they don't like it. They will leave. However, a lot of the time the women will sit it out thinking they can fix the problem but it doesn't happen. It typically leads to very toxic relationships.

Then why do some people like to stand outside of the herd and be noticed?

We have an old saying in South Africa about hunting lions. Who do you take with? Five guys fatter and slower than you.

[@cryora]

Nah the five fat guys will take up a phalanx formation while you bolt off by yourself and the lion goes after you

Excellent excellent clip. Only thing I had a bit of friction with is that happiness and pain can be independent but they do also affect each other.

[@kora5]

Please rename or recut the clip. Make it about people motivation to camoflage themselves against the herd. Not exactly about selling.

Being invisible isn't a life. It's not living it's merely surviving. JP isn't invisible right but he's an addict too. Often ppl need a crutch bc they do need to succeed, and they fear failure which is not healthy...

[@cobbenglish1375]

@@Chrisknot94 Actually, on second thoughts it's Alec, not Alek. A smart Alec is someone who tries to appear clever or who answers questions in a clever way that annoys other people.
