Dune shows us what makes customers buy. And why trying to convince them isn't always the right strategy.
Paul Atreides has more evidence that he's the Messiah than anyone in the galaxy. Prophetic visions. Bene Gesserit training. The bloodline. An entire civilization waiting for him.
He refuses for five hours across two films.
Your customers do the same thing. They have the problem. They've found your solution. They leave your website without buying.
This is What Marketers Can Learn From Dune, a series where I break down storytelling principles from great films and show how they apply to marketing, brand storytelling, and websites.
In this video, I break down the customer psychology behind Paul's resistance and show why the same pattern explains how your customers make buying decisions.
Whether you run a SaaS company, a professional service firm, or any business where conversion matters, this will change how you think about your marketing.
