In this course, you’ll learn about the science behind persuasion, and explore how to develop more effective marketing and sales messages using the pain-claim-gain framework. Author Patrick Renvoise starts by explaining the dual nature of the human brain—rational and primal—and shares why most sales and marketing messages fail. He then reveals a step-by-step process to stimulate the primal brain of your audience. Patrick’s scientific approach to selling has helped many people become more effective at persuasion and close more sales.
