PART II

THE CAMPAIGN‐DRIVEN ENTERPRISE METHOD: TURNING PRINCIPLES INTO STRATEGY

EDUCATE AND ENTERTAIN

You’ve signalled your intentions to the market. You’ve asked them to signal back with their interest, and they have done so.

It’s not yet time to ask for the sale. Now you have a captive audience of interested people, and your job is to educate and entertain them until they are totally comfortable with the idea of buying from you.

Entertainment is a powerful way to do this. It can build rapport, connection and pique emotions.

“7‐ 11‐ 4” ING BUILDS DESIRE

Whether you are falling in love, buying a new car, making a career move, engaging a consultant or choosing a holiday destination, when you add up all the time you spend exploring, researching and thinking about it, you can be fairly sure you’ll clock up plenty of time, interactions and locations.

Big decisions take about 7 hours, 11 interactions or 4 separate locations or sources of information until a sense of trust is built.

Key Takeaways

  • Education is a powerful tool. It builds trust, understanding and engagement.

  • Entertainment is a powerful way to build trust. It can build rapport, connection and pique emotions.

That’s it for today. Tomorrow, we will continue to read PHASE #2: BUILD-UP: WARMING UP THE MARKET WHILE SENDING AND COLLECTING SIGNALS from the Part 2, of the following section THE CAMPAIGN‐DRIVEN ENTERPRISE METHOD: TURNING PRINCIPLES INTO STRATEGY.
