1. Fear–Fear is how life insurance is sold. Fear is how tires are sold. Fear is how theft prevention/alarms are sold. Fear is the biggest of the motivators. Fear of loss is greater than the desire to gain.
2. Greed–Gimme, gimme, gimme. More, more, more. Greedy people are usually also price buyers.
3. Vanity–I want to be healthy. I want to be pretty. I want to be thin. I want to be good looking. I want to be an athlete. I want new clothes. I want bigger…(insert any word you want).
