When was the last time you read something, or learned something, about marketing?

Marketing is something that we all need to know more about, and yet many of us don’t spend the time developing this vital business skill. In this week’s show, Lee talks about why it matters so much, and how you can follow the advice of an ancient philosopher in order to make your marketing strategy more dynamic.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The principles of Aristotle’s Pyramid Of Persuasion is still being used by marketers today:
  • Logos - Appealing to logic
  • Pathos - Appealing to emotions
  • Ethos - Appealing to a sense of trust
• In marketing, we must try to get people to feel something whenever we can. We are trying to appeal to the universal in humanity. 
• In order to get to where we want to be, we need to create allies, communicate effectively, and overcome the objections that people have in what you are trying to achieve.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We’re trying to market a way of making today better than yesterday’

‘I thought these sounded like the Three Musketeers!’

‘The difference between being good and being great is getting people to feel something’
