Behavioral science is a relatively new field, with huge implications for marketing. Neuromarketing can actually help you develop more persuasive communications that will increase your response rates.

- Buying decisions are being made in a series of small elements, and if we break it down, we can influence and motivate those various, smaller decisions to move prospects in our direction.

- We need to be open to new ideas as marketers.
