A short YouTube monologue (Christian Polk) advising marketers to sell end results rather than mechanisms. The speaker uses the example of metabolism and weight loss to illustrate that customers care about outcomes; marketers should ask questions about the desired result and use the product mechanism only to challenge prior beliefs.

Like you are selling the end result, you're not selling the mechanism. I would say for this one, it's like, hey, do you know what type of help you're looking for in terms of boosting your metabolism so you can lose weight? And then just asking, okay, if you take a look back, what would even have you looking to lose weight in the first place? That's the question you need to ask. It's not the metabolism, because to be frank, they don't really care about the mechanism. They care about the result. You just use the mechanism to poke holes in whatever mechanism that they had before.
