The Patterns We Discovered

73%

Buyers Feel Understood

When messaging matches their personality type. Generic copy triggers instant skepticism.

5

Distinct Buyer Personalities

Top performers speak to all five. Most copy only resonates with one or two.

3.7x

Higher Conversion

When all four psychological triggers are activated vs. relying on just one.

How Even Sophisticated Brands Miss Buyers

We analyzed messaging from industry leaders. Here is what their copy reveals about personality coverage:

Global Strategy Consulting

34% Coverage

"Partners with leaders on strategy, innovating to net zero, building capabilities for a sustainable future."

  • Misses analytical buyers (no specifics)
  • Misses cautious buyers (vague promises)
  • Resonates only with big-picture thinkers

AI Project Management

52% Coverage

"AI work platform. Agentic AI products that deliver results across projects and engineering."

  • Misses detail-oriented buyers (what results?)
  • Undifferentiated positioning
  • Appeals to early adopters only

Work Management SaaS

47% Coverage

"Manage your team's work, projects, and tasks online. Stay focused on goals."

  • Generic—describes any PM tool
  • Emphasizes effort, not outcomes
  • Misses relationship-oriented buyers

The 4 Triggers That Drive B2B Decisions

High-converting messages activate all four. Most copy hits one or two—and loses the rest of the pipeline.

Proof for the Skeptic

Analytical buyers will not engage until they see evidence. HAPE scoring measures 8 psychological triggers—including social proof, specificity, and credibility markers—to identify exactly where your proof is weak.

Connection for Every Personality

Some buyers need relationship signals. Others want details. Some crave vision. Big Five profiling shows which personality types your copy naturally reaches—and which it accidentally repels.

Alignment That Feels Right

When your claims do not match your proof, buyers sense it even if they cannot articulate why. Strategic Clarity catches the misalignment that creates "something feels off" responses.

Trust Without Pressure

Sophisticated buyers detect manipulation and withdraw. Push too hard and you lose them. Cognitive Autonomy ensures you are building trust—not triggering buyer resistance.
