Growth can be the most important attribute that any business can have, and yet is commonly the least well-managed area of a business” operations.
Explaining why this is,
The Growth Director”s Secret examines the structural/cultural factors that hold many conventionally-organized companies back. The book explores important new insights from neurological research, which reveal near-universal misunderstandings about consumer motivations, shopping behaviour and brand choice. Andy Brent shows how these flaws lead many businesses to develop bland, undifferentiated consumer propositions and wasteful commercial/marketing plans, which condemn them to year upon year of stagnant growth.
The book challenges much current commercial and marketing thinking, and introduces important new ideas such as:

· The Big Growth Mistake that almost all companies make
;
· Shopping on Auto-pilot;
· the crucial Moments of Maximum Emotional Impact (Mo MIs) where all brand choice decisions are made; and
· Marketing at Open Minds – a challenging new way to think about building growth-orientated marketing plans.
T
he Growth Director”s Secret is essential reading for business owners and managers, proposing a challenging and innovative Growth Paradigm for companies who want to break the constraints of conventional business thinking and set themselves up for significant, sustained, profitable growth.
