The Problem with Marketing

The Problem with Marketing
Understand what people
want
• People don’t want to buy a smart TV. They want to watch Netflix
without having to plug in an additional console.
• People don’t want to buy cooking books. They want to invite their
friends and relatives to dinner and have a good time.
• People don’t want to buy a scuba diving course. They want to go out
and dive with cool fish and share it on social media!
Understand what people
want
"Here's what our product can do"
and
“Here's what you can do with our product"
sound similar, but they are completely different
approaches.
Ask Yourself…
The So what? trick works in any 
industry
 Our doors have strong hinges. So what? They
won’t bend when the door is slammed shut a
thousand times.
 Our regulators have an overbalance design. So
what? They breathe so amazingly easy.
Again, Ask Yourself
 How will their life be better, easier,
or more fun with my product or service?
 Why will they want to tell their friends
about my company?
 How will the prospect justify this
purchase to themselves or their spouse?
Beware
Don’t sell empty promises or lies…
Consumers will still do their research after all.
DO NOT LOSE THEIR TRUST!
How to sell SDI programs?
 The course is flexible so that you can have an almost
customized experience based on your needs.
 The course is more affordable and you can save some
money to upgrade some of those equipment purchases.
 The course is globally recognized and you can dive in the
most incredible places world wide once you’re certified.
 You can have your c-card right after the course and not
wait 3 weeks to get your certification.
What We Covered
 Know the difference in features and benefits
 Problems marketing & you didn’t even know it
 Understand what people want
 Ask Yourself, So What?
 SDI sales pointers for stores.
