How to read your customer’s mind

A practical on-line mini-course with videos and downloads

“What you showed us is really useful. What a difference it made to our sales tactics, marketing approach and above all, confidence!”
– Matt Wailes, Director, Educational Play

Would you like to know what your customers are thinking?

Of course! We all would.

Do you wonder…

How to promote a product or service so that everyone wants it?
Why some people prefer one thing and others, something else?
Why people don’t read emails or website pages properly?
Why people aren’t logical about what they want?
How to be more persuasive without being pushy?

I spent years marketing and selling. I had to find out what worked and didn’t work the hard way. Then I learned more about psychology and neuroscience. What a revelation! If only I had known this before…Now I am sharing the essential parts of that learning to help you grow your business.

This mini-course will show you how people’s minds work. With that information and the tips we include, you can market and sell more successfully.

Learn why people think the way they do

This course uses simple concepts from psychology and neuroscience to show how parts of the brain influence what we like or dislike, and how we respond to what we see, hear or experience. We show different personality types and how they respond differently to our communications. We also look at influence and persuasion using principles established by one of the most widely respected experts on this subject. These are the key lessons:

How to know what people want
How to communicate with humans
How to influence and persuade
How to tap into primitive instincts

You will notice that a lot of this is interconnected, so having understood these principles you will be able to apply them to your own marketing and selling activities to attract more customers and grow your business.

Each lesson includes a video explanation, tips to practice, a downloadable summary sheet and a quiz.

Comments from our course students

“I had so much fun making this video, and before you ask, I thought I had no creative bone in my body. Now I might start looking at a career change with the quality of the video I have made!” – Robin Sheppard, Portsmouth Technopole/Oxford Innovation Center Manager (This is what she made on the day – see below. Yes, that’s me being “interviewed”!)

“This is just the sort of course I like – packed in and practical. We are very conscious we need to keep pace with multimedia use and marketing and this was just the job to provide the basics, plus some more advanced tips and the steps needed to develop our own strategy – thank you both.” – Nick Moon, MD Applied Resilience

“We got a lot out of the day and are looking forward to putting everything we’ve learnt into practice. The ground work you covered in the course is also important. Making sure the story is pitched for people at the various parts of their potential buying journey is critical. We are more than happy to recommend the course.” – Clare Blatchford-Hanna, MD Anode Outlet
