Crocidile Brain Love + Money = serious ass kicking dosh

3 replies
Since there has been talk about the human crocodile brain
from Oren Klaff here, here's 4 ways to tickle it's fancy.

1 Time
2 Money
3 Numbers
4 Contrast

Speak in client results within 1 to 2 sentences at max.

Here's an example.

Say you have a mobile DJ as your client and you want to
bring in lot's of gigs.

Ok "how the heck do I use time, money, numbers and contrast for the DJ?
He doesn't sell client results, he sells good times".

Ah there is a way.

Ask him how many people can he get on the dance floor.
400, is the answer.

How long can he keep them on the floor dancing?
3 hours, he says.

What age groups has he done this for?
5 to 85 year old's, he says.

So bringing this info together we can now make killer candy for reptile brain...

--------------------------------------------------------------------
DJ keeps groups of 400, 5 to 85 year oldie's, on dance floor for 3 hours.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Does it work?

Yep, Las Vegas DJ went from struggle street, to fully booked up with that one line.
{See how I used contrast, or the big difference with a before and after statement?}

The only thing from the list of 4 which wasn't used, was money.

Just goes to show the power, even if you use only 3.

See if you can come up with a list of client results, or other's case studies,
where you can grab 4 on the list and make your one sentence especially made for the human reptile brain.

Have fun with feeding reptile brain!

Best,
Ewen

    Before Oren's book, I knew about the reptile brain. But I never put together that that is the part of the brain that we are pitching. And we are using our intellectual part of the brain to argue with the most primitive part of our client's brain.

    Good stuff, and it cleared up a few nagging questions I had about the nature of arguments.

    Ok....so are you saying the "5 to 85 year old" is the contrast? I'm not seeing where the contrast is in this particular sentence....

    This is a cool way to come up with benefit-riddled headlines - thanks!

      Yes the wide age gap between 5 and 85 is an example of of contrast.

      Other examples of contrast are also found in common sayings...
      night and day
      hot and cold
      pretty and ugly
      tall and short
      fast and slow
      wet and dry
      fun and boring
      crazy and sensible
      fat and skinny
      truth and lies
      rich and poor
      slack and tight

      then there are before and after results.

      Could be photos
      part of driveway with mold and next to it clear of mold
      before losing 4 pant sizes and inside the baggy pants
      before breast augmentation and after

      Marketing results
      before you 7 leads a week, now with you 12 leads a weak
      before you clients were staying 6 months now 12 months
      before you service was selling for $99 now $147

      Health results
      Before was on medication for arthritis pain, now no medication after 3 weeks
      [true story from a client of my sister]

      Emotional results
      She was down to her last $100, 5 months later she
      had $100,00 sitting in her bank account

      She was pretty, loveless and dateless, 4 months later she married her prince charming

      You can come up with your own contrast statements
      which showcase results of intervention.
