When Nothing Becomes Everything
A woman in Denver placed an ad: "Ugly Cats. $100 each." She received over eighty calls and sold all four within days. Meanwhile, a jewelry store accidentally doubled prices on turquoise pieces that had been gathering dust for months. They sold out within a week. What's happening here? We're witnessing something most business owners miss entirely: in a world where you can't touch, taste, or test-drive what you're buying, everything changes. The rules that work for selling cars don't work for selling consulting. The strategies that move products off shelves fail miserably when applied to accounting services or legal advice. Yet most of us keep trying to force-fit old models onto new realities, wondering why our marketing feels like pushing a boulder uphill. Think about the last time you bought something tangible-perhaps a jacket. You felt the fabric, checked the stitches, tried it on, examined yourself in the mirror. Now recall hiring a lawyer or choosing a consultant. You're essentially writing a check for a promise, hoping the person across the desk can deliver something you can't evaluate until it's too late to matter. This invisibility creates profound anxiety that product marketers never face. When customers can't see what they're buying, fear dominates every decision. They're not asking "What do I want most?" but rather "What do I fear least?" The Wethalls driving through an unfamiliar town didn't choose Burger King because they craved it-they chose it to avoid the risk of food poisoning at an unknown local diner. This pattern repeats endlessly: the familiar accountant over the potentially brilliant newcomer, the established law firm over the hungry startup. We're not expressing preferences; we're managing terror.
