Remember the prom? Some people had it better than others. I had fun…. but I noticed that some people had a hard time finding that special someone, for a lot of different reasons.
Let’s cut to the chase: in American culture, girls typically have to wait for guys to ask them to the prom. But they can’t just do NOTHING, they have to make themselves attractive. It’s a huge game, and everyone has a slightly different way of playing it.
Girls who are too assertive can be off-putting, and girls who are too shy can seem insecure. Guys who ask in a way that makes it look like they are only thinking about themselves (as in, can I take you to the prom because you’re really hot and I want to get under your sweater) can come off like jerks, and guys who are too nice can seem less than manly.
In marketing, all the same rules apply. The ultimate goal is that someone buys what you are selling. But you can’t hit them over the head. You also can’t wait for them to magically discover you.
You have to get out there and be social to get asked out on a date, and you have to get out there and be social for anyone to even begin to think about trusting you enough to buy something from you. And when they do give you their trust and attention, you have to keep being appealing, otherwise they’ll lose interest.
Just pretend like every customer, or visitor to your website, or fan at your show, is someone you want to not only take to the prom, but someone who you want to take to bed, and you’ll probably get a lot better at being interesting enough to deserve their attention.
