YOUR PRACTICE TASK
The four buyer-psychology layers
Follow the buyer from the request to how they believe change happens. When they describe how they want to feel or the role they want to play, explore that thread. Map their words to the four layers, then write the question that would help you understand an open layer.
After the conversation: Can you point to the buyer's words for each layer you used, distinguish a cause-and-effect belief from a requirement, and name any layer that remains unknown?
