The basics idea that it’s better to be personally attractive vs. repulsive is plain common sense. However a lot of people are using tool and technology and end up making themselves unattractive.There’s now even talk about a certain course being “better than Google” yet those same people are still spending more money on Google ads than anything else.What they say and what they do are two different things and I think that’s what you are pointing out. It’s like listening to Bernie Madoff for investment advice – might work for a few but… well you get the point!Here’s a thought on Attraction Marketing…If you have ever been in nature – say camping, or hunting, or even watched a program or two on the National Geographic channel – think about what animals are attracted to what animals.On the savannah, it’s the antelope that’s attractive, not the lion. The antelope doesn’t go to the lion, in fact they stay the heck away. The lion is attracted to the antelope. He needs to use his God given skills and stalk the antelope. If luck is on his side he and his pride will eat. If not, he will try again another day because there are lots of antelope.Marketers need to be like the lion – relying on skill, focus and discipline. Better to be the hunter than the hunted. Only difference is that in business we don’t kill prospects, we help them by understanding what it is they really want to accomplish and if and how we fit into that equation.

Here’s a thought on Attraction Marketing…

If you have ever been in nature – say camping, or hunting, or even watched a program or two on the National Geographic channel – think about what animals are attracted to what animals.

On the savannah, it’s the antelope that’s attractive, not the lion. The antelope doesn’t go to the lion, in fact they stay the heck away. The lion is attracted to the antelope. He needs to use his God given skills and stalk the antelope. If luck is on his side he and his pride will eat. If not, he will try again another day because there are lots of antelope.

Marketers need to be like the lion – relying on skill, focus and discipline. Better to be the hunter than the hunted. Only difference is that in business we don’t kill prospects, we help them by understanding what it is they really want to accomplish and if and how we fit into that equation.
