NEED TO STAND OUT IN YOUR MARKET?
Maybe your website is sending the wrong message!
Keep this thought in mind…
Nobody buys technology from a stranger!
For your marketing efforts to be successful your products, services and company must become familiar and understood. Buyers and sellers need to be comfortable with one another before a sale happens. Sometimes protective coloration works.
Case in point…
Does a zebra trust anyone near him not wearing stripes? Not likely. He was programmed to recognize that critters wearing long hair and yellow hides could be the death of him. The faster your marketing communications establish a level of comfort, the shorter your selling cycles will be.
Why Zebras Only Trust Zebras

That’s why we have “the wolf in sheep’s clothing.” Historically, there have been a lot of wolves out there. But humans, like all the other species, have a primal instinct in them that is buried deep inside. Our instinct is to trust those who are like us, to distrust anything that runs counter to our gut feelings and question the motives of others. It’s what kept us alive in our more primitive states and it’s what still guides us today.

The challenge for those in marketing is to get out of “stranger” mode as quickly, efficiently and inexpensively as possible. Engaging content is the best way to do that! And I’m here to show you how.
