It’s somehow less fun having to market in a down economy, but we need to know how to create sales (identify what our customers want and give it to them) in good times and bad.

You make a great point. It’s challenging enough getting people to say yes to things they already want. You certainly don’t need the additional hurdle of first convincing them that they should want it.

As Gary Halbert said: Find a starving crowd, find out what they’d like to eat, then feed it to them.
