    Just What Are Consumers Thinking?
    Research would indicate that consumers don’t know what they’re thinking. According to an article written by Jack Shimell (2002) for Quirk’s Marketing Research Review, Consumers make their decisions and react to advertising based more on unconscious emotional processes than on conscious rational processes.There appears to be an interplay between the conscious and the unco
    In a face-to-face sales presentation, prospects inevitably have certain objections or fears about buying a particular product or service, AND/OR about selecting the most qualified supplier.

    A skilled salesperson is a master at overcoming these objections. The challenge is, when you write copy you don't have the luxury of knowing how people are feeling about your sales message. With that, it's important to overcome any objections in your copy, in advance, before they get to the end.

    You see, as soon as someone starts reading your communications material that little voice inside their head becomes skeptical - skeptical of things like:

    * the results promised

    * not having enough equipment or tools to help them achieve their needs

    * getting the order wrong

    * always run out of stock

    * no follow up service

    * staff don't know what they are talking about

    * always miss appointments

    * late delivery

    * charge too much

    * don't have convenient payment terms

    * no parking

    * treat them like a number

    * don't understand their needs

    * do a poor quality job

    Extranets: Better than eMail for Group Collaboration
    Companies increasingly prefer using an extranet over email to communicate with their team members, clients, and suppliers for document sharing because it ideally suits the groups engaged in collaboration; whereas, email is best-suited for one-to-one communication only. Generally email programs are ineffective to prioritize messages and attachments. In an email, everything arrive

    "xx Challenges Companies Face When Choosing a [service/product] Supplier"

    OR

    "xx Factors that Will Affect Your Results"

    Then, next to each frustration or potential challenge explain what the potential impact is and then how your company ensures that won't happen to them.

    Here's an example of how to wipe out a quality objection in a sales letter.

    By now you may be thinking to yourself, 'how can they offer such great quality for the price'?

    Quite simple really ...

    Or, let's say they are looking for a plumber and their perception is that plumbers are unreliable.

    On-time ... No waiting.

    There's nothing worse than taking half a day off work to wait for a tradie and they just don't show up. Here at Perfect Plumbers we always give you an exact appointment time and if we ever run late we always call to let you know ... always.
