Agenda

– Start with the facts– Use forensic evidence & behaviors– Set a plan to intercept them

• Marketing Automation: More than an Enabler• Conclusions

Part science.. Part artWhat does it takes to be a mind reader?

Part science.. Part artMind reading experiment

1. Think of a number between 1 and 102. Multiply that number by 93. If the result is a 2-digit number, add the

digits together (i.e. for 35 add 3+5=8, etc.)4. Subtract 5 from that number5. Determine which letter of the alphabet

corresponds to your number: i.e. 1=a, 2=b, 3=c, etc.

6. Think of a country that starts with that letter7. Think of an animal that starts with the last

letter of that country8. Think of a fruit that starts with the last letter

of the animal’s name

Who’s thinking of…Kangaroos eating oranges in Denmark

Part science.. Part art

• SCIENCE - Questions 1-5 lead to the #4

• SCIENCE - 4th letter in alphabet is “D”

• SCIENCE & ART – Only 4 counties in world begin w/”D”

(Denmark, Djibouti, Dominica & Dominican Republic)

• SCIENCE & ART – Few animals begin with “K” and Kangaroo is most common (Kiwi, Koala, Killer Whale, etc.)

• SCIENCE & ART – ‘Orange' comes most easily to mind

• ART – Making participants feel “the magic” without the disappointment of feeling tricked

Less like a mind reader…More like a profiler

• Build a profile• Broaden the profile using

forensic evidence & behaviors

• Flush out the full profile– What they look like– How they behave– What drives them

• Watch behavior & plan to intercept

in the buying process?• What do they read? Where do they go to learn?
