This reminds me of when I was looking at getting the next Gen console – tossing up between ps3 and xbox 360.

I was leaning towards the PS3 because I had the PS2 and some games already but the xbox was cheaper and I was tight on cash.

I went into one store and all I wanted to know was if the ps3 could play ps2 games. He obviously didn’t know as he kept telling me all the bells and whistles of the PS3 apart from what I actually asked. He just continually kept trying to sell things to me without addressing my question.

I ended leaving him and his store saying ‘I’ll go and think about it’ went to another store got a straight up answer and ended up buying an xbox 360 and have been a long serving customer at that store. Why? Because they told me the benefits of what I wanted. They acknowledged me as a person with individual needs and weren’t some transparent robot acting like a used car salesman.

I love the initial euphoria that accompanies a marketing project. You are so clear about the means. But then after the initial toll, you seem to lose the cool and tread on these forbidden lines… We start marketing the wrong way!
