A Metaphor For How Some Companies Try And Get People To Buy Their Products And Brands …

Remember don’t sell, make people want to buy.

[Which is why you should be conducting genuine research not ‘self justifying nonsense’ and allowing agencies to use their brain, not just their production facilities. Mind you, when you see rubbish like this being publicised like it’s the second coming, you can see why some companies don’t know what to do or who to trust]

“make people want to buy”.. hmmm. is that just as bad as selling? how about “give people something” or “introduce people to an experience”…. or is that me just sounding like a hippy wanker again. hmmm.

I actually think that’s what I’m saying Lauren … offer something that the other person will find interesting, exciting and/or valuable and they will be more likely to come and experience what you have as opposed to pushing all the attributes that you think are of great value – which often has no resemblance to what the masses are thinking.

See, we’re both hippy wankers πŸ™‚

but seriously, videos like this amaze me… how do people not die on these trains?!!?

Comment by Age

Maybe they do and no one finds out for 15 years because if you think it takes that long to get on, you should try getting off – especially when you’re the only one who wants a particular stop πŸ™‚

Comment by Rob

Ha, I always try to position myself close to the exit with that in mind, God that would be a nightmare. Makes Connex look good, and believe me that’s saying something!!

AK-47, the very best there is. When you absolutely, positively, have to kill every single motherfucker in the room; accept no substitute. ~

Thank you Ordell … actually getting a gun isn’t a problem, my Mum’s family has one of the biggest private gun collections [don’t ask] in the World.

That doesn’t mean they’re a one-stop-shop for the local criminal, it’s just they collect the rare and the valuable. That said, I think I’ll tell them to put another lock on the door given the way I’m feeling.

So you didn’t get an upgrade on your latest flight?

Comment by John

I didn’t even know that there was a class above first John. Thank you for that, I will seek out more information and ask why I haven’t been exposed to that standard of flying.

Oh I know why, because only cocks fly first and if you dare respond with some smartarse comment, you will be the first person to meet my Russian friend, Mr AK47.

Comment by lauren

all you have to do is put 10 fit fucking birds on the train and itd be packed with hundreds of dirty fuckers all trying to rub up against their arses. it would solve the traffic congestion in 5 seconds and make traveling to work on a monday almost fucking enjoyable. i am the management consultant of all management consultants. and stop your fucking whining campbell. youve just pulled off the presentation of the century and are being lauded by the sort of people who should never have to share your air let alone shake your hand. good play even george was smiling and you know what a miserable fuck he can be at times πŸ™‚

Comment by Marcus
