----more----Patrick reveals why traditional thoughts into a buyer’s preference for a product is based on false research and how the Persuasion Code can be used by anyone to increase revenue if they understand the basic principles.  For instance:

• There is solid research, clinical research, not hunches or opinions behind the current book's recommendations for sales and marketing tactics that win
• Selling isn't about pushing features and benefits, it's about asking questions to diagnose the prospect's problems
• There are only three stages of selling: Diagnosis, Selling and educating
  • Educating helps the competitor as much as you the salesperson
  • Selling without diagnosis is the surest way to fail
  • Diagnosis should take up 80% of the discussion with the prospect
• Diagnosis of the pain is the first step in the sales process, without you will lsoe more than you win
