Theory

What happens in a person’s mind when they encounter a brand?

There are three steps.

Recognition (me)

When you walk into a store or a restaurant, you discover a website, or get a slaes call, you wonder…

Do I feel welcome? Do they work with people like me? Do they understand my situation, my goals and my problem?

A small thing could make you answer “no”, and it’s over.

Perception (them)

OK, it could be for you. But who are they and what do they propose?

Can I work with them? Do I trust them, respect them? What do I compare them to? Do I understand their solution?

The most common red flag is that you don’t understand fast enough. Lack of trust is second.

Projection (future)

They seem to know what they’re doing and you get their offer. You imagine the future…

What will it be like? How complicated will it be? How will I feel? Will I be happy? What will I avoid? What will I gain?

Sometimes it just seems too complicated. Resistance to change can make you underestimate your probem or the potential benefits.

Evaluation (worth)

Then, and only then, will you evaluate their solution.

What does it cost? Is it worth it? Which option is best for me?

Four levers strongly influence your perception of the offered value.

“Wow. That was eye opening!”
