Our POV – The Persuasion Framework
Bruck Marketing helps you captivate, engage, guide, court and close new customers using the research-backed techniques of storytellers, decision scientists, UX researchers, and marketers.
This customer-centric POV informs everything we do.
Step 1: Captivate
Out of the gate, do two things fast: Win favor and capture attention.
It’s tempting to believe that customers come to your website with an open mind, carefully read through each page, and make an objective assessment of your offering.
What you want is for customers to form instant positive emotional commitments to your brand so they read your message with optimistic abandon. Alternatively, if a customer forms a negative commitment, you can end up with a skeptic combing through your message looking for gotchas and assuming the worst.
Step 2: Engage
Your ideal customer has a problem. You have a plan to solve that problem that will stave off failure and bring them success.
That is the foundation of an engaging story. So, if your message is focused on how your founders met, what technologies your product uses, or the innovative new machines you are using to facilitate mass production–put that aside for a minute and pull out a blank sheet of paper.
Our BrandLab Messaging+ workshop will help you discover your brand through the eyes of your ideal customer. We’ll develop a high-stakes story featuring your customer, their challenge, and your solution.

Step 3: Guide
People are motivated by more than quality and price. Understanding the moral, social, and economic factors that trigger decision reflexes is key to achieving business objectives and guiding customer decisions.
Decision reflexes are free tools you can use to help customers digest the same truths and form more favorable opinions. A working knowledge of decision science not only makes strategies and messages more effective–it makes them easier to come up with. The techniques themselves inspire creativity.

Step 4: Court
Build relationships and touch points. Be the first name your prospects think of when they are ready to buy. With your branding, message, and strategy in place, it’s time to build leads and nurture relationships. We have an arsenal of technology and best practices ready to help you do this efficiently.
Take our assessment to find gaps in your process and content. Get ready to build authority and trust with everyone from newbies (that had never heard of you) to longtime customers (whose fandom and praise can translate into sales growth).

Step 5: Close
Once your customer indicates an interest in buying, the systems you use, people you introduce, and materials you share all have the power to make or break the deal.
Most teams don’t have time to give personal attention to every promising lead. But the right process can automate the prioritization and send the most qualified leads to your sales team.
Leads at this stage have a very high value, so the efficacy of your process is critical!
