Men Vs Women - Perceptions

Two women chatting in office..

Woman 1: I had a fine evening, how was yours?

Woman 2: It was a disaster. My husband came home, ate his dinner in three minutes and fell asleep in two minutes. How was yours?

Woman 1: Oh it was amazing! My husband came home and took me out to a romantic dinner. After dinner we walked for an hour. When we came home he lit the candles around the house and afterwards talked for an hour. It was like a fairytale!

Their husbands talking at work.

Husband 1: How was your evening?

Husband 2: Great. I came home, dinner was on the table, I ate and fell asleep. It was great! What about you?

Husband 1: It was horrible. I came home, there's no dinner because they cut the electricity because I hadn't paid the bill; so I had to take my wife out to dinner which was so expensive that I didn't have money left for a cab. We had to walk home which took an hour; and when we got home remember there was no electricity so I had to light candles all over the house! After all, I was so aggravated that I couldn't fall asleep and my wife was jabber away for another hour!

Selling the Invisible by Harry Beckwith

Named one of the ten best business and management books of all time, Selling the Invisible: A Field Guide to Modern Marketing explores how markets work and how prospects for services--as distinguished from products--think. A treasury of strategies, Selling the Invisible will open your eyes to new ideas in this crucial branch of marketing, including:

• Myths of Marketing: Why focus groups, value-price positioning, discount pricing, and being the best usually fail.
• The Emotion that Matters: The critical emotion that most influences your prospects--and how to deal with it.
• Four Key Forces: The vital role of vividness, focus, "anchors," and stereotypes.
• The Effect of Effects: The importance of Halo, Cocktail Party, and Lake Wobegon Effects.
• Lessons from Unexpected Places: Marketing lessons from black holes, grocery lists, the Hearsay Rule, and the fame of the Matterhorn.

Based on Harry's twenty-five years of experience, this book delivers its wisdom with memorable and often surprising examples--from Federal Express, Citicorp and a growing Greek travel agency to Kate the babysitter, Fran Lebowitz, and the colors of oranges and lemons.

The first guide of its kind, Selling the Invisible will help anyone marketing a service--as it has over 650,000 people worldwide, in 23 translations.
