What is “Desire”?

BUT I REALLY WANT IT!!!” — Two-year-old children everywhere

Key Points:

  • You need to produce a strong feeling of Desire in your customers for they to want what you have, and to be willing to purchase from you.
  • Provoking desire usually makes people uncomfortable because they fear that they are “manipulating” people, but in reality no one wants something that they don’t already desire.
  • The key is discovering what people already want, and then presenting an offer that intersects with the preexisting desire.
  • Your job is not to convince people, but to help them convince themselves that your offering will help them get what they want.
  • People’s wants start at the Core Human Drives. The more drivers you connect with, the more effective your offering will be.

Questions for Consideration:

  • Is your marketing focused on encouraging your prospects to desire what you have to offer?
  • What can you do to inspire a visceral feeling of desire in your prospects?
