Reviews

[Emil Ybe · Rating 1 out of 5]

Worst use of paper I've ever come across. The best you can do if you have this book in your possession is to use it as toilet paper.

The book is just a fucking sales pitch for their (SalesBrain.com) service and they bring no new ideas to the table. They're more or less branding the research of all other neuroscientist as their own insights.

This book is a waste of time.

[Peter P. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Can't recommend this book highly enough for anyone who is even remotely interested in the science of persuasion. It feels remarkably current and the book is laid out in such a way that it never feels like the reader is swimming in jargon. I have a habit of reading with a highlighter in hand and saving relevant quotes from the books I read. My only complaint about this book is it has left me with a whopping amount of work to do transposing all of the highlighted sections.

[Angelo Ploscariu · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have read their first book, Neuromarketing: Understanding the Buy Buttons in Your Customer's Brain, which was a good book.
But, this sequel is almost identical with it (regarding "neuromarketing"), only renaming a few already discussed concepts in the previous book.

This book is not worth your time if you read the first and at the same time the sales pitch for their business SalesBrain is disgusting.

Visit their site if you want to be taken back in time in the 2005. You will see how a neuromarketing business builds a pitiful landing page.

I rated it three stars and not one, because the information might be valuable if you are totally new to the field of marketing.

Since the dawn of time, humans have tried to influence one another. Scholars, academics and researchers have developed countless theories of persuasion, but billions of dollars are still wasted on ads or campaigns that fail to grab attention or motivate people to act. Building on nearly two decades of research on the effect of advertising and sales messages on the human brain, this book offers the first comprehensive model of persuasion based on the latest research in neuroscience, media psychology and behavioral economics. In the footsteps of Daniel Kahneman and Richard Thaler (both recipients of the Nobel prize in economy, respectively in 2002 and 2017), the authors reveal that persuasive messages must reach first the primal brain, the oldest brain system, yet the most dominant in the persuasion process.

If applied correctly the principals, methods, and efforts described in this book will completely revolutionize your organizations approach within the scope of product development, marketing, sales, and advertising. This is a phenomenal book for anyone to understand how to incorporate proven behavioral psychology, and new information gathered from neurological consumer testing into their business tactics.

To outline briefly, in order to maximize your persuasion, you should include these six elements:
1. Add a grabber of attention - communicate your value in a way that goes beyond simply using words. This can be by the means of a prop, minidrama, or story.
2. Define your claims - communicate your claims through contrastable benefits (the top 3 unique reasons why prospects should decide to buy from you.
3. Your big picture - a simple graphical representation of how your product, service, or idea will impact your prospect or audience. Visual stimuli is critical to engage the primal brain.
4. Your proof of gain - add contextual proof of value that reinforces your organization/products claim.
5. Reframe objections - break down objections you receive and reframe them in a way that can uproot the negative emotion associated with the fear of regret.
6. A closing - repeat your claims and ask a client "What do you think? Where do we go from here?"

All in all, it was a great book, and the market research startup I work for will be applying insights brought up from reading this book to revamp our communications and client-facing materials.

THREE reasons why I gave this book a low rating:

1. The copy of the book I obtained from my local public library was printed on a very poor quality of paper; almost like newsprint from a third-world daily. The photographs and other illustrations in the book are largely indecipherable.

2. As a trained United States Marine I am very familiar with the idea of the reptilian brain. The USMC has successfully employed this concept for 247 years. All Marines describe this same concept with the term, "muscle memory."

3. The book, sadly, also reminded me of the college course I liked the least: psychology.

This is a very good book

I recommend this book for anyone who is serious about marketing their business. I have seen the results of many of the topics covered in this book in real life before I read the book. Therefore, I know what the author's write is true.

[Keely · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this as at the behest of my work mentor, and the science early on was interesting but a bit dense. After I got through the science, it felt more like a lot of what I know about public speaking and trying to neuromarket me into working with their company.

[Vikranth Kanumuru · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good starter on how to get started with influencing but it feels more like a marketing book then a persuading book. Nonetheless, a good read

[Raquel Liu · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although I am not a salesman,I think I could recognize the intention behind the information,to avoid my attention or emotion be influenced by the negative news.

Dr. Morin was my course instructor for Neuroscience... a smart guy and insightful material. One of my favorite courses. :)

[Lennon Bilibio Ebel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Muy bueno libro, técnico y intuitivo

[Pierfilippo Pierucci · Rating 3 out of 5]

Libro a tratti troooppo lento. Manca la verve, diversi spezzoni li ho saltati perché rindondanti o poco interessanti.

Nel complesso il libro fa il suo dovere spiegando accuratamente le fondamenta pratiche del neuromarketing e delle tecniche di persuasione fornendo svariati distinguo e chiarimenti.

Buona lettura per ogni marketer e per tutti gli appassionati del tema. Non aspettatevi un capolavoro

[Stefano · Rating 5 out of 5]

ottimo! esasustivo, chiaro e schematico, ma anche pieno di esempi.
è scritto dai titolari di una innovativa compagnia di consulenza sul neuromarketing: all'interno c'è un poco di pubblicità relativa a questa attività. ma si sopporta benissimo vista la qualità e la quantità del resto.
