The latest brain research is changing the way we think about sales. How can this help you increase your business?
With people being inundated with thousands of daily sales messages, selling is now tougher than ever. That's why you need to learn what neuroscience has uncovered that will immediately increase your selling and influencing effectiveness.
Unveiling the latest brain research and revolutionary marketing practices, authors Patrick Renvoisé and Christophe Morin teach highly effective techniques to help you deliver powerful, unique, and memorable presentations that will have a major, lasting impact on potential buyers.
In Neuromarketing, Renvoisé and Morin will help you learn:
- The six stimuli that always trigger a response
- The four steps to align content and delivery of your message
- The six message building blocks to address the "old brain"
- The seven powerful impact boosters to set your delivery apart from the rest
Once you know how the decision-making part of the brain works, you'll quickly begin to deliver more convincing sales presentations, close more deals, create more effective marketing strategies, and radically improve your ability to influence others.

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

So, if this is so, the way we sell must talk to that brain and not the logical brain or the brain we think is used to make decisions.
I think that most people in advertising and marketing have known this but may not call it "the old brain."
However, I found the book full of useful ideas that will help me write more effective sales messages. After all, if we can find the prospect's pain, we can address it and show the prospect how we have the solution. It's basically that simple.
The book is mostly common sense marketing. But the slant is new and some of what we read is rather revolutionary.
Some people say that neuromarketing could be used to manipulative
people. Perhaps. But doesn't all advertising manipulate people, or attempt to do so?
In neuromarketing, we learn that fear is the most basic and primal motivator. We make many --- perhaps most --- of our decisions based on fear. For example, IBM used fear in it's advertising to the point where we heard, "No one was ever fired for buying IBM." In other words, fear of losing our job caused us to "safely" buy Big Blue --- even if another solution might have actually been better.
I find in the copywriting I do for my clients that using fear in the sales messages I write for them is very effective. No one is immune from fear. We don't all crave the same things. But we all have fears. And fear motivates. Researchers, for example, have demonstrated that we react faster to observing fearful faces than we do in seeing happy faces (Emotion, 2007).
Which motivates you more? The message that you could earn more money or the fear of becoming homeless? The former matters. The latter is a hard-hitting motivator that works on our primitive emotions or, as the authors call it, the old brain.
This is an excellent book. It's fast paced and well written. The authors believe that short sales messages work best. They also believe that people recall what's at the beginning and the very end of the message. I like that. It's always worked for me and it will work for you.
Highly recommended.
in brain research suggest that people make EMOTIONAL decisions, which
they later RATIONALIZE" you'll love the lightweight treatment of
the art/science of persuasion put forth in "Neuromarketing".
This book is derivative and lacks a bibliography. It refers to "studies"
with phrases like "a study found" but doesn't tell us when, where,
and who conducted the research and how to find out more about it.
It claims to be based on the latest research yet in refering to source
material mentions such dated sources as Dale Carnegie's book
"How To Win Friends and Influence People," which was published in 1936.
Dale Carnegie is great, but not "the latest breakthroughs in
brain research".
If you're familiar with some of the core literature on persuasion,
marketing, selling, and especially direct-response marketing -
ie: Cialdini, Hogan, Caples, Ogilvy, and so forth, I don't think
you'll find anything here you're not aware of as relevant factors
in successful marketing. You may, as I did, experience some "duh"
moments.
If you're unfamiliar with sales, nlp concepts, and persuasion
you may enjoy this book and have some revelations.
Mostly the authors reframe established stuff in terms of appealing
to "the old brain". Since they offer no specific citations in the
current editions, just a reading list at the end, the notion that
this is somehow a scientific work is dubious. In science writing,
sources are generally cited. Here we get a reading list at the
back. No index. No bibliography.
I don't feel this book lives up to it's book jacket promise:
"Neuromarketing is the only book to combine the latest brain research
with cutting-edge sales, marketing and communication techniques"
If it's so up on the latest brain research, where are the citations?
That said, it's not a lame book. It has some good information in
it, but little in the way of new ideas. Not a waste of time
but not something I'll likely read again.
Even those who are reasonably well versed in marketing will recognize these ideas.
The book becomes somewhat useful for the novice or for some one looking for a new lens by which to revisit these ideas.
My main reason for granting on three stars is that it’s a bit dated using aged advertisements to drive home its points. The technology in our world has outpaced every case and that undermines the impact of some of the stories. With a little effort from the reader, you easily imagine modernized examples however.
I’d recommend it as a refresher only.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants to hone their sales/influencing skills.
I've just re-read it along with a couple of other books on Neuromarketing and I still believe that this is a good place to start. This can become an extremely technical subject but I consider this book to be an easy read.
While it talks about advertising and includes a few fascinating examples, I found that it too often moved into neuro-selling through presentations. That's not a problem if you're thinking about joined up business growth but it may be if you want to focus your reading more on lead generation than lead conversion.
I'd also criticise the book for its lack of references to the underlying research. I'm particularly geeky about marketing and I have access to an academic library so, if something seems particularly interesting or relevant, I like to go back to the original publication to look for additional insights.
When I first read the book, I rated it at 4.5 stars and while I've gone back to it a few times over the years that could justify a move up to 5 stars, this is a fast moving field of research and it's getting a bit old. The contents is still relevant but new findings and applications mean that the authors should either update this book or publish a follow-up.
About my book reviews - I aim to be a tough reviewer because the main cost of a book is not the money to buy it but the time needed to read it and absorb the key messages. 4 stars means this is a good to very good book.
