Joe Vitale's Unspoken Marketing Secrets
Joe prepared a list of insights into human nature and showed it to two marketing consultants. They both asked him not to publish it. He then showed it to a non-marketing person, who said he was going to print the list and tape it to his computer, so he could refer to it every day. There is real dynamite here. It scares some people. It inspires others. After writing eleven books on marketing, reading several hundred other books on persuasion and psychology published over the last century and a half, and spending more than twenty years creating advertising and publicity to convince people to do what his clients wanted, Joe sat down and compiled this list. You could probably build an entire marketing campaign or improve an existing one with any one of these insights into human nature.
Joe Vitale is the world's first Hypnotic Marketer. He is the author of way too many books to list here, including the best-selling new book "Spiritual Marketing," the best-selling e-book "Hypnotic Writing," and the best-selling Nightingale-Conant audio program, "The Power of Outrageous Marketing."
