—Doug Rossier, Sprint Instinct Marketing Lead

This is a worthwhile read, with significant implications to anyone who hopes to build brands and sell products.”

—John Stratton, Sr. Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Verizon

“Neale provides some of the most comprehensive insights into marketing I have ever read. His understanding of today’s market complexity is simply brilliant.”

—Derek Broes, Sr. Vice President, Paramount

“At last someone has approached marketing with the clarity and precision of a brain surgeon.”

—George Ford, Marketing Director, Petrafoods

Habit reveals why traditional approaches to acquiring and keeping customers don’t work anymore. Dr. Martin shows that by focusing on behavior instead of attitudes and intentions, companies can radically improve not only how many customers they win, but how many they keep.”

—S. Somasegar, Microsoft Senior Vice President, Developer Division

Habit is an essential read for all marketers, managers and executives. Dr. Martin has elevated the seemingly boring concept of habits to a science with implications for every business in every market. This excellent book not only explains why consumers behave the way they do, but what companies should do in light of these startling insights!”

—Jagdish N. Sheth, Ph.D, Charles H. Kellstadt Professor of Marketing, Goizueta Business School, Emory University

Habit begins with a revolutionary premise—95% of human behavior is controlled by the unconscious mind. This fact exposes the central flaw in marketing theory, market research, and a preponderance of business strategy—that customers are consciously aware of what they’re doing. Habit explains why 80% of new products fail, why billions of advertising dollars are wasted every year, and why even satisfied customers aren’t loyal.

In Habit, Dr. Neale Martin persuasively contends that recent research from the brain sciences reveals that our brain evolved two minds—and marketing is focused on the wrong one. By explaining how the mind actually works, Martin shows how 50 years of marketing theory is deeply flawed, and how your customers’ habits thwart even your costliest marketing campaigns.

Habit explains in practical terms how to work with both your customers’ executive and habitual minds to not only make sales but more importantly, create loyalty. You’ll discover how behavior actually rewires your customers' mind—and how to leverage this by refocusing on behavior, not on attitudes and beliefs.

Martin offers a complete process for working with customers’ unconscious and conscious minds together, to become your customer’s habit, not just their choice. Using these techniques, you can finally achieve the twin holy grails of marketing: higher customer retention, and greater long-term profitability.

Meet the Author

Neale Martin is the founder and CEO of Ntelec, Inc., a marketing, consulting, and education company. He has helped companies adjust their strategic marketing in the face of rapid technological change since 1995. For the past several years, he has worked on updating the principles of marketing in light of research from cognitive psychology and neuroscience that suggests that most of human behavior is under the sway of unconscious habits. Neale developed early insights into the power of habits as a counselor and program director for alcohol and drug addiction programs. After spending a year as a hospital administrator in Texas, he returned to school to earn his Ph.D. in marketing from the College of Management, Georgia Institute of Technology. Neale’s insatiable curiosity across diverse subjects illuminates his work as he connects ideas and insights from science, technology, psychology, history, philosophy, and dog training. He lives in Marietta, Georgia, with his wife, Diana, his daughter, Miranda, and three border collies.

    An insightful book on habituating loyal customers

    If you want to read a new, refreshing marketing book, look no further. Consumer behavior expert Neale Martin has produced an entertaining, informative explanation of how the conscious and subconscious minds work together in the context of sales and marketing. He has put in years of extensive groundwork updating the principles of marketing to reflect new findings in cognitive psychology and neuroscience that say much of the way people act is governed by unconscious habits. In the process of explaining the brain's biological miracle, he also teaches readers why some products fail and what marketers must understand to improve their odds. getAbstract thinks this intellectually invigorating book is a real keeper, especially for marketers who want to learn how each customer's two minds (unconscious and subconscious) work together.

    Cup half full

    While the author seems to be on the right track, this book had few examples and illustrations of how to habit should remake marketing. The author needs to take more time completing the idea and flesh it out.
