5 stars. "Hands
down the most interesting and useful marketing book I own. Finally...the
mechanism of purchasing decisions revealed in a concise, powerful, and
immediately useful manner. The book is far underpriced and I bought
two..one in my office and one that travels with me ... a modern business
classic. No-brainer, must-read. (no, I don't work for the
author)." RZ, Philadelphia PA
A hot
button is a motivation that triggers an
emotion in a prospective buyer. This
cue causes that person to buy something
or execute some action. A hot button is
an emotional pull, or even a statement
that makes the earth move for someone. A
hot button is a turn-on for the
consumer. For instance, when Apple
introduces a new iPod, some people
actually drool.
Win the
hearts of consumers (even -- or especially --
business-to-business consumers) and the mind
will follow. Pushing hot buttons is how you
get the buyer to say yes -- how you flip the
switch that will lead customers to either buy
the product or want more information on a
product or service.
There are two
reasons people buy products. The rational reason
and the real reason. Hot Button Marketing
shows you how to identify and push the hot
buttons that will prompt consumers to purchase
your product over a competitors! Filled with
tips and insights that can be applied at every
stage of marketing-from product development to
one-to-one selling-Hot Button Marketing
shows you how to hit the sixteen essential hot
buttons and get your product sold.
