This is THE BEST VIDEO ON MARKETING I’ve ever seen, THANK YOU, for sharing it!! FYI, the email subject line nailed it for me and got me to watch, knowing it was only 11 minutes in length and proved an extremely valuable test to perform in my own marketing!! Cheers : )
This is a really good video in explaining the primary thought pattern required for good marketing. Not a big fan of the chroma set at wide angle.
Hi Andre,
I’ve been editing the MECLABS videos with the different virtual studios. I appreciate your comment on the wide angle setup.. I assume the ‘chroma set’ refers to the beautiful blue-stone studio floor? What would you recommend?
I’m glad this video was useful for you. We’re hoping the ‘video’ format helps accelerate the learning.
I think this is one of the better videos on the site (having watched a few of them and listened to the audio of a couple of others).
The reason I like it is because Dr. Flint speaks a little bit slower and has more dynamics in his presentation. Maybe the fact that it was unscripted forced him to be a little more deliberate in his delivery?
I find that in some of the other videos, listening to Dr. Flint can be a little bit like drinking water out of a fire hose. I appreciated the subtleties of this presentation.
Hi Flint, as a marketing research expert this video somewhat disappointed me. This is not a video on marketing research as the headline says. This is a video on web visitor conversion.
Cheers
the stuff you guys give away for free is better than stuff I have purchased for THOUSANDS of bucks!!! go MECLABS!!
Brilliant. I have been playing with this concept for years with no coherent result. Dr. Flint did this massive project to perfection. Can’t wait for the mind map.
I love this video. Its sums up so much of the areas of my job that I love very much. Flint is always such a motivational speaker, and always enjoy learning from him.
For Power, emotion and motivation within it I personally compare it to the video of Steve Jobs at Standford…. (and wow that was a speech!)
Thanks Meclabs/Marketingexperiments/marketing sherpa!
Where can I find the detailed explanation of the formula in this video?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on conversion heuristic.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I really like the inverted funnel metaphor, specifically for affiliate marketing, this is highly accurate.
