Emotions are a powerful thing. Prospects make decisions based on potential ROI, ease of implementation, and likelihood that a product will help them achieve their work goals. But emotion is the undercurrent of these decisions. Fear (that they will fail), hope (that business pain can be fixed), and frustration (that things aren't great right now) -- these emotions are just as important to a purchasing decision as facts and figures. Make no mistake -- logic matters in buying decisions. But there are a few conversational tricks you can use to appeal to your prospect’s emotions and their intellect. For example, use short, basic language instead of complicated phrases. “There’s more” is more effective than “additionally,” while “better” trumps “superior,” according to the graphic.
