Persuading People to Buy

Insights on Marketing Psychology That Pay Off for Your Company, Professional Practice or Nonprofit Organization

By: Marcia Yudkin

Narrated by: Marcia Yudkin

Attract interest, then nail the sale.

With attention spans mercilessly short, you can't afford to approach customers with anything but the very strongest, most on-target pitch. Learn how to capture the interest of perfect prospects for your product, service or cause, then convince them to complete an order.

This pithy, provocative book from a master of creative marketing offers both timeless principles of persuasion and insights from recent research and marketing trends. Real-life examples illustrate Marcia Yudkin's advice on strategies that work and those that may backfire.

Marcia Yudkin is the author of 6 Steps to Free Publicity, now in its third edition, and 14 other books.

Critic reviews

"In almost 20 years as a business and marketing columnist, I've yet to encounter anyone with more know-how of what it really takes to transform strangers into prospects, customers and brand loyalists. Marcia Yudkin's M.O. is moxie delivered in bite-sized bits and in terms everyone can understand - and put to immediate use. One handy book with Marcia's years of wisdom is well worth the investment."
