Author: Whats Bias Got To Do With It?
Interesting people have opinions and beliefs that they they feel strongly about.
Let’s call these biases especially when talking about theirs. Hehe.
Bias: A preference or an inclination especially one that inhibits impartial judgment.
What does this mean for you marketing a product you love?
1. Everyone doesn’t have the same biases you do. And they like their biases just as much as you like yours.
2. If you continue to try to force everyone to convert to your biases the government might come out with a new Do Not Talk To Me Registry. Then what will we do? They’ll muzzle us all.
The Do Not Call Registry has 120 million Americans signed up in the US. The deafening message from American consumers to marketers: “We don’t want to be bothered with your stuff we didn’t ask for it and don’t want it.”!
3. Ask first for people who are biased the same way you are or who are open to new information if they have no opinion yet. First group gets you an instant relationship by virtue of your shared biases. And sometimes you can enlighten someone who’s mind is open. But don’t mess with those biased against then you’re in the therapy zone.
Example 1: Say a gal markets nutritional supplements because SHE loves them and she’s had great results: she’s not dragging around like she used to.
Of course like the gal said on the call yesterday now she wants to save the tired people of the world.
Problem: They didn’t ask for her to come save them did they?
We are despite our own beliefs and biases for our product an uninvited guest.
Here’s how to get an invitation from those who are like you:
Begin by asking for people with the same biases as you.
Here are two biases from two different people: Which is going to be more fun for you to talk to unless you like to argue instead of get a customer:
A. “I believe that prescription medications are probably best.
B. “I know that nutritional supplements are necessary because the food doesn’t have enough nutrients anymore.”
Can you let go of A? unless you prefer doing therapy but don’t expect gratitude.
Example 2. Suzanne markets earthfriendly nontoxic household cleaners which she uses. Which person seems to have her bias?
“I think the traditional cleaners really work best and I don’t think those big companies would put toxins and chemicals in them that would harm us. The Government wouldn’t let them.”
“I worried for years that my regular cleaning products were making me sneeze and my kids get sniffles and breathing problems. So I’ve always been on the lookout for alternatives.”
So what’s bias got to do with it? Uhh everything.
Oh and in case you think YOUR views are just common sense not biases sorry to disappoint:
“Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.”
