110: Christophe Morin—Capture, Convince And Close More Customer Sales

 Listen now as Christophe Morin explains how to target the decision-making part of your customer’s brain!  

I am reading Christophe Morin’s new book, “The Persuasion Code,” and you should as well. In it, Christophe and his partner, Patrick Renvoisé, share their research on why we buy and how you can influence others to do the same. Their company, SalesBrain, is the first neuromarketing agency with a scientific persuasion model, grounded in research from the neurosciences about how the brain works. This model helps you capture, convince and close more sales by targeting the decision-making part of your customer’s brain. Fascinating stuff—don’t miss this podcast!

Focus on your customersʼ PAINS, choose unique CLAIMS, prove your GAIN and deliver to the primal BRAIN

Founded in 2002, SalesBrain has helped over 600 companies worldwide and trained over 120,000 executives. Christophe and Patrick’s unique, award-winning NeuroMap™ offers an easy to follow, 4-step methodology to improve marketing and sales processes. With the NeuroMap model, you can scientifically capture, convince and close more customers. 

What Christophe and I discuss in our podcast is how to truly get your message understood by the brains of your customers. And this is not as hard as you might think. As Christophe explains, most of our efforts to convince or persuade are ineffective, and traditional types of research, surveys, interviews and focus groups do not get at the mechanisms underlying why we buy. 

Why? Because your brain rejects messages that interrupt it. It is the subconscious and preconscious functional circuits of the brain that navigate our responses to stimuli—marketing and otherwise—and it is the oldest, reptilian part of your brain that drives your decision-making. This means that when you are trying to influence someone, you must focus on what they are hearing, not on what you are saying. 

Listen carefully to this podcast and you will learn how you, too, can better influence and persuade others. Who knows how far this will take you!
