Sally Hogshead Knihy

Jeder hat eine Wunschvorstellung davon, wie er von anderen gesehen werden möchte. Aber wie wird man von seinen Mitmenschen wirklich wahrgenommen? Erzielt man tatsächlich die erhoffte Wirkung oder hinterlässt man in der Realität nur einen blassen Eindruck? Und wie kann man dies bewusst steuern und sein Gegenüber beeindrucken oder sogar beeinflussen? Genau diese Fragen beantwortet Sally Hogshead systematisch in ihrem Buch. Sie hat 49 Archetypen der persönlichen Wirkung definiert, denen sich jeder mit Hilfe ihres Online-Assessments zuordnen kann. Das Ergebnis wird so manchen überraschen – im positiven Sinne. Denn nur, wer seine Wirkung auf andere und seine Vorzüge kennt, kann diese auch aktiv nutzen und mehr bewirken – im Job, im Team, im Vertrieb, im Marketing, im Leben. Und es ergeben sich gänzliche neue Möglichkeiten, andere zu überzeugen!

This book delves into the intriguing paradoxes of consumer behavior and brand perception. It explores the reasons behind the popularity of brands like Jägermeister, despite a general lack of affection for them. Additionally, it examines the lengths to which women go to enhance their allure, often prioritizing spending on personal appeal over essentials like food and clothing. The narrative also uncovers the surprising factors that can drastically inflate the prices of seemingly trivial items, such as gummy worms, revealing the complexities of market dynamics.

What triggers fascination, and how do companies, people, and ideas put those triggers to use? Why are you captivated by some people but not by others? Why do you recall some brands yet forget the rest? In a distracted, overcrowded world, how do certain leaders, friends, and family members convince you to change your behavior? Fascination: the most powerful way to influence decision making. It's more persuasive than marketing, advertising, or any other form of communication. And it all starts with seven universal triggers: lust, mystique, alarm, prestige, power, vice, and trust. Fascination plays a role in every type of decision making, from the brands you choose to the songs you remember, from the person you marry to the employees you hire. And by activating the right triggers, you can make anything become fascinating. To explore and explain fascination's irresistible influence, Sally Hogshead looks beyond marketing, delving into behavioral and social studies, historical precedents, neurobiology and evolutionary anthropology, as well as conducting in-depth interviews and a national study of a thousand consumers, to emerge with deeply rooted patterns for why, and how, we become captivated. Hogshead reveals why the Salem witch trials began with the same fixations as those in Sex and the City. How Olympic athletes are subject to obsessions similar to those of fetishists. How a 1636 frenzy over Dutch tulip bulbs perfectly mirrors the 2006 real estate bubble. And why a billion-dollar "Just Say No" program actually increased drug use among teens, by activating the same "forbidden fruit" syndrome as a Victoria's Secret catalog. Whether you realize it or not, you're already using the seven triggers. The question is, are you using the right triggers, in the right way, to get your desired result? This book will show you.
