A New Approach to Understanding How-and Why-Customers Buy Despite the resources spent on market research, nearly 80 percent of thinking happens in our unconscious. Therefore, unearthing your customers' desires requires you to understand the "mind of the market," that dynamic interplay between the consumers' and the marketers' thoughts that determines the outcome of every buying decision. Building on research from disciplines as diverse as neurology, sociology, literary analysis, and cognitive science, Zaltman offers rich insights into what happens within the complex system of mind, brain, body, and society as consumers contemplate their needs and evaluate products. While the book delineates the significant limits of our 'legacy techniques,' it provides an equally clear action plan for delivering bankable insights.
