Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Market with Empathy

An advice from newspaper-article by patricia fripp:

Customers buy if they believe you understand and care about them...

If you want your marketing to make $$ for you,focus on your customers' feelings and beliefs. Unless you can convince them that you understand them and their problems-that you are empathetic-they are probably not going to buy from you.

The headline on one of my marketing pieces says,"Hiring a speaker is an awesome responsibility".It is.These days,if you hire the wrong speaker in a corporate job,you could end up in severe trouble.

Many Professional speakers focus their marketing on themselves-how good they are,how successful.It works,but readers don't get the message that the speaker really knows who they are and can fill their needs. Your customers need to believe that you know,understand and care about them.

There is a good way to fo this when you are writing or creating your marketing piece.

1. Make a list of the prospects' biggest problems from their point of view.(if you dunno,ask them)
2. Decide how these problems make your prospects feel.Tell a story abt someone experiencing the same prob.What does this encounter look and sound like?What external and internal forces cause these feelings and sensations?Be really creative in putting yourself in the prospects' shoes
3. Address those feelings.Write abt ur prospects' feelings and reactions.PRove to them that you understand and care.Then prove that you can solve the problem.

Why be empathetic?When you just relate the facts-"we have a store at such-and-such location"or "we sell a product that does this and that"or"we are consultants in this field",you are implying that you are similar to everyone else.You make urself an ordinary commodity.DO you know what ppl do with commodities?They try to get the lowest price.

So,when you market yourself,capitalise on ur unique ability to understand and solve problems.It will greatly increase ur client base and their loyalty to you.

As a side benefit,it will also help you get paid wat you are worth.As noted businessman Nido Qubein says:"when you solve a problems that keep CEOs awake at night,they never ask you what you charge."
