Neuropersona Proximity Search

To understand customer choice options consider a unique way to view and understand customer behaviours, or a Nueropersona Proximity Search.  For asthose familiar with the Neuropersona mask concept we will look at proximity.

Neuropersona Proximity Search

Neuropersona Proximity Search

This image represents two stones being dropped into water.  The rings from the two stones overlap and this is where there is ‘rough’ water.  The closer the proximity of the two stones the more rings overlap and the rougher the water.  We use this concept when aligning product or service offers to customers.  The closer we can align our product value to the customer behaviours that need to be served, the higher probability of a sale.

Using a Neuropersona Proximity approach allows us to be close but not perfect when it comes to search.

Consider another important concept in our lives, the shopping basket and how Marketers perform shopping basket analysis where considerable energy is devoted to understanding which product ‘pairs’ go together.  By understanding the behaviours of the customers pushing the carts we get to the Neuropersona Proximity Search value proposition.

Our brand wars blog will examine Neuropersona Proximity and its application to Microsoft’s Bing Search engine.

Mobile content is a highly opportune area where we aggressively apply Neuropersona Proximity search techniques.

Media and Predictive Analytics

One interesting way to view the Media is a content container and then measure its activity which shows what happened in the past and what people expect to happen.  The ‘expect to happen’ is what is connected to Predictive Analytics and our focus here.

Consider that advertisers have the most to gain and lose and their Media investments are devoted to creating the future or getting a customer to buy a product, service or idea.  With this in mind we can start with the simple assumption that what happens tomorrow will mirror what happened yesterday.  Now we think about the ‘pressure’ placed on customers to change their behaviours by advertisers and make a guess as to how many will change.  Simple.

What happens if it doesn’t work this way?  What if customers actually want and need to change and that Media and Advertiser ‘success’ is just a customer picking what would have been helpful, without the advertising?

This may explain the success and resurgence of Research and Public Relations and Brilliant Brand Failure.

Success by Empathy vs Sympathy

Are you a Sales or Marketing professional that uses or abuses customer sympathy?

One of the most harmful myths out there is the notion that you have to sympathize with a customer and this becomes clear when you switch from sympathy to empathy.   Empathy allows you to understand how the customer views the world and measures so that you can align your perspective to theirs.  Alignment allows you to select the best value proposition available and present it to your customer.

Sympathy on the other hand typically motivates someone to give whatever they feel will help the person, quickly and at the lowest price possible.  This is not good for the customer or the sales person as even if you gave them free product they would not be able to use it as it is mis-matched with their need.

Empanthy is not cold but rather humane and sympathy has to be tempered with a desire to help, empathy.

Cheers,

Nick
