Patrick Renvoise is an award-winning author, international speaker, trainer, and C-level coach. He pioneered the field of NeuroMarketing which is based on a scientific understanding of how humans use their brains to make buying decisions. Over the last two decades and by teaching how to reach the Primal Brain of their customers, Patrick has been helping over 2,000 companies to achieve more growth, including many fortune 500 companies – Airbus, Microsoft, Prudential, Volvo, GE, Epson, Siemens, Hitachi and many more. Since March 2020, and because of Covid19, Patrick has created new neuromarketing programs optimizing how executives can deliver convincing presentations using virtual platforms.
Based on the seminal work of Daniel Kahneman, the book presents the ONLY scientific yet simple, step-by-step approach to persuasion. First, the book demonstrates the dominance of the primal brain (system 1) and how this brain can only be triggered by six stimuli -Personal, Contrastable, Tangible, Memorable, Visual, Emotional. The book explains how the stimuli require that companies follow four steps to achieve persuasion: Diagnose the Pain, Differentiate their Claims, Demonstrate the Gain, and Deliver to the Primal Brain. The entire model called NeuroMap® is presented visually. The book also includes 32 real-world business cases.
Warning: This is a great book but not an easy read! Professor Kahneman taught psychology to Ph.D students at Princeton. His research work got him the Economic Nobel prize in 2002 to discover that the brain of homo sapiens contains two brains: the fast (but limited if not stupid) system 1 or the primal brain, the slow (but smart) system 2 or the rational brain. His research states that “System 1 still rules today”. According to Kahneman, "Probably Approximately Correct" is the driving norm of human decision-making. His work lead to the development of a new scientific branch called “behavioral economics” or “neuro-economics. His book teaches profound lessons for anybody in business, sales, marketing, parenting, education, etc. It is a fascinating but complex (at times very complex if not irritating) book you will love or hate. You’ve been warned!
