In this segment, Wayne Mullins expands on the AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) marketing model, emphasizing that marketers must speak to the true interests of prospects rather than the features of their product. Using a golf club example, he illustrates that customers care about outcomes like lower scores or longer drives, not the club itself. After capturing attention, the next step is to align messaging with these genuine interests (Interest), then craft messages that evoke a desire for a better outcome (Desire). Finally, he stresses the importance of providing a clear, specific call to action (Action) that tells prospects exactly what to do next to engage with the offering.

And we have to then speak to their interests. What are they interested in? And an important point here, Nick, is that people are not interested in our product or service. They are interested in their interests, right? So if we make, for example, golf clubs, they're not necessarily interested in our golf clubs, even though we may have the coolest brand, the newest brand, the best driver, whatever it may be. What they're interested in is a lower score, a further drive. And so we have to be very careful when we're communicating with prospects or even with clients that we're speaking to the true interest. The next letter in that is desire. And so we want to, through our messaging, we want to evoke desire. We want them to see a different possibility. We want them to desire a different outcome. And then the last one, that is action. So once we've captured their attention, we've spoken to their true interest, we've risen, you know, gotten their desire to rise up there. They're desiring this thing. Now we have to give them a clear call to action, a very specific what's the next step that they should take to move forward with us.
