One of the most hallowed tenets to sales and marketing is: “It’s easier to sell the cure than it is to sell the prevention”. Yet wise people know that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. Why is it so hard to sell prevention? It’s because:
- Most people don’t like to think of bad things happening in the future
- Most people don’t like to bury their heads in the sand when it comes to the risk of bad things befalling them or their family
- Most people are lazy
- Most people are cheap
- Most people don’t want to plan
- Most people don’t believe “it” will happen to them regardless of whatever “it” is.
Even after the global financial crisis proved that nobody is immune to financial disasters, people still prefer to whistle through the graveyard. Human nature rarely changes.
That’s why most people don’t start an online business until they need it as a “cure”. They keep saying they’re going to start their own business but they never do until:
- They get laid off from their job
- They get injured and can’t do their job anymore
- They retire and find they don’t have enough money saved to support the lifestyle they want
- Some catastrophic financial event occurs and leaves them scrambling for extra income
That’s a terrible time to start a business: when you’re stressed out, desperate, low on cash or in need of a cure. It’s like waiting until you have heart disease and saying: “Fix it with bypass surgery!” It’s expensive, messy, inconvenient and dangerous.
