Identify the pain

There are many explanations for why people buy. When all the different reasons are boiled down, they come to two basic principles; to achieve gain or to avoid pain.
 
The interesting thing is – people will go to much greater lengths to avoid pain than they will to achieve gain.
 
So, it makes sense to look at our own products and services in terms of the pain they can help our customers avoid. What pain is your customer feeling, or what is he most concerned about?
 
Explain how your product or service reduces or eliminates this pain, and you are well on the way to a sale.
