I’m in Rory’s industry. Simon has a wide audience so if you’re reading this and don’t understand how influential this guy is I just want you to know he’s the Godfather.
Rory Sutherland is a genius and I have been a huge fan since his Alchemy book. Totally changed my worldview on how marketing and sales should work rather than what is promoted by the industry as the ideal. Thanks for getting him on the channel Simon 🙏🏽😁
Marketing is actually an advanced form of black magic. It’s all about bending people to your will, by believing or purchasing something they probably don’t want or need. Black magic is selfish, white magic is selfless. Alchemy is about changing states, and is probably not a misnomer (regarding the title) as marketing is quite often all about selling a ‘lemon’, although not having read it, i couldn’t possibly make an informed comment.
Listening to Rory is always an absolute pleasure. A lot of marketing is common sense but there's also a lot of sparks of genius, cunning and knowing psychoogical aspect of selling and knowing your market/customer. Love it!
I've watched thousands of marketing and sales videos and other tutorials online. This is the SINGLE BEST EVER video, most interesting, actually meaningful, video. Ever. On marketing and similar. Wow.
Thank you, Simon and Rory: Two Titans in the world of Marketing!🙌 Here's how I maximised my time to get the best insights from these great leaders: > Cut and Paste the transcript into my own personal GPT. > Prompted my GPT (which already knows me, my ideal client, and my offer) to summarise this video into 10 bespoke, actionable strategies, specific to my offer. Outcome? Golden!! 🥇🤩💥
Brilliant. I'm increasingly convinced that Rory Sutherland and Miriam Margolyes are cut from the same cloth. Love them both for the same reasons; massively intelligent and both cut to the F'ing point when appropriate/necessary. Thanks for a great interview, Simon. Looking forward to your Bacon Butty shop.
Two folks that have shifted my understanding of marketing enabling me to be more resourceful to the businesses we work with - Seth Goddin and now Rory Sutherland, Rory being the one that takes me deeper on this!
Just watched this. Want to say thank you for doing it for free. People will recognize its importance sooner or later. Those who take notes and implement will go to win for sure.
Some feedback if you’re open to it: I don’t think you need that music bed. It felt at odds with your content and a bit distracting. You and Rory and some excellent insights & brilliant anecdotes are more than enough.
I love Rory’s advice as he really understands behavioral science. I work in marketing and i genuinely believe the rise in digital and the ROI tracking of that have killed has more of a detrimental impact than many see. Trying to justify brand led activities where you can’t apply the same metrics becomes very hard for get sign off for. Yet look at so many behavioural backed examples that work “ playing German background in a wine shop increases sales of German wine. Yet when customers were surveyed why they bought the wine they did, no reference to the music was made…’
simply unreal. The info and delivery of rorys knowledge is just mindblowing it's like a PDF professor but also 'bloke down the pub' communication. Could listen to him for hours and hours.
I don’t normally comment on videos, but I need to say a huge thank you for this one. Even after 31 years in my small business, I’m still learning. 🙏 Thank you
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear that you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small Investment, thank you Alesia Haas you're such a life saver
As a beginner in this, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Alesia Haas is also my trade analyst, shehas guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.
I'm favoured, $30K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America,, all thanks to the same Alesia Haas.
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
Goodhart’s Law, that Rory Mentioned perfectly sums up what’s wrong with so much of the education system. Here is a description of the law: ‘Goodhart’s Law is expressed simply as: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.” In other words, when we set one specific goal, people will tend to optimize for that objective regardless of the consequences. This leads to problems when we neglect other equally important aspects of a situation’. How does this apply to education? Departments of Education worldwide decided they wanted to measure how good education is with standardized tests, as a result preparation for the tests became the target of teachers. In other words, teachers started teaching to the test. As a result, other equally important parts of education have become neglected.
@rowinaseidler315 measurement has come from business. And measurement applies in advertising just as much as any other business. The old joke is half of advertising is effective but nobody knows which half.
This is an hour of Marketing everyone should listen to, this guy is a genius and very practical too, but not so much on Digital Marketing :) thanks @Simon
Simon ❤ I have launched my a company. Honestly your videos have changed my mindset ,I now believe in possibilities , thank you so very much. I'm 32 that's when I am starting and I believe that 10 years from now I will be a millionaire. I was in a situation where I didn't have access to the right knowledge. It's difficult to find people who will give you the winning formula for free. Thank you so much.
This video is now bookmarked. What an absolute treasure trove of valuable ideas, lessons and examples. The KISS (keep it simple, stupid) principle is for there for all to see. Priceless! Thank you Rory. Simon - I love your enthusiasm and genuine warmth towards the people you speak to and the inspiration you provide for them. You are a magician at thinking on your feet! I am still waiting for this reply: Simon, "Do you have a dream?" Person, " Yes i do, it's meeting you on the street!"
i dont know what people find annoyed with Simon nodding in possibly the whole duration of the video. it just like youre trying too hard to find some flaw in it, i mean you could easily focus on whats the gold information in here just by listening solely or just by writing down whats Rory said. After all, its such a gold video here! cant thank you enough Simon ❤️
I loved the bit about switching the lights on. So simple but makes sense. When I ran a fastfood chain, turning off or forgetting to turn on the lights was just as punishable as theft.
Great stuff!.. i'm pants at marketing and have just started learning about digital marketing to boost my business..this has come at the right time! THANK YOU!!
Rory’s insights are uni-cornesque hah. Keep him in the content plz Simon, he’ll be gone one day and his interviews will be universally studied. Truly able to get his point across whilst accomodating others opinions is a remarkable skill. Wisdom + Humility is how I’d best describe Mr Sutherland. Bless.
As an older person I think it comes back to excellent customer service and value for money. When First Direct Bank started they started online when not many people did online banking. They answered calls within 3 rings, they had excellent customer service. The grew very fast. The are part of HSBC.
Is Simon replying? because wow you've been such an inspiration to my entrepreneurial journey. So thank you, BUT being with my other idol Rory. This video was pure gold. Also, watch at 2x speed if you really can't focus for an hour.
Being in marketing and performance measurement since 15 years. All the conversation with CEOs and CFOs fighting for budget etc. all of them should watch those videos for education purposes. Hard to tell them this opinion and get buyin sadly. Great content. Reading alchemy currently...great book.
Fantastic video. Seems like you nailed the balance of just letting Rory do his thing and wonder through topics. I do usually dislike background music but the choice and volume level of the music in this was just right.
My advice to everyone is this : if you want to grow big this year especially in your finances. Be willing to make investments. Saving is great but investing puts you on a pedestal where you wouldnt have to worry about savings as you do now. Thanks to larysa Caba, my portolio is doing really great and im proud of the decisions i made last year.
I feel one Of the greatest challenges that we first timers face in the ma rket is that we end up losing all we have,making it difficult to find ourselves back to our feet. My biggest advice is to always seek the services of a professional just like I did when I ventured into it for the first time. Big thanks to Larysa Caba. I now make huge profits by weekly through her services while still learning to stand on my own.
I think she trades for everyone I meet. I met her twice at a meeting in Germany and after her lectures from Ella I had to personally ask her to be my financial advisor. she is definitely good.
I have never seen a trader as open and transparent as Larysa Caba with her clients. The way she decides to make a profit for her clients. she allows you to express your fears and she still rests your fears and that is my respect. I don't normally comment on videos, but this word should be included. she is really cool.
I'm new to this and have heard that now is an excellent time to buy. However, I currently have cash sitting in my bank account that I would really like to put to good use because inflation is at an all-time high. Who is this coach that you mention, and do you mind if I look them up?
Absolutely for John Lewis. MnS and JL within 5 miles on one dual carriage way. MnS can be seen from the main road, JL is behind a hedge and several mini rounds abouts. Both were custom built for the shop. I always go to MnS
29:10 this is such a brilliant observation of human behaviour in decision-making. It frustrstes me no end how my company's corporate box tickers devalue our product with short-sighted underselling.
The sheer diversity of possibilities to start a business is staggering and that’s once again emphasised in the video. What I like the most though, and it is the direction I am going now to create my own business, is the adoption of a customer perspective. Thank you for sharing such somewhat obvious, but hard realisations!! Excellent video!
Hey Simon, Really enjoying your long form content! I watched your video with Luke last week and this one today. I’m watching while I work and have been taking great inspiration and some key takeaways that are directly applicable to my current projects. Keep it coming!!
I love your vids. I have watched a lot of your long videos where you teach everything you know. Thank you for being an awesome mentor, and you seem like a genuine down to earth type of guy. Our moral compasses are also pretty similar, and that's the biggest green flag for me. ❤
I thoroughly enjoyed listening through this entire conversation. Some of the remarks are observations I have made myself at times and wished I could make a career from pointing out these (obvious to me) inefficiencies in businesses. Things such as the chairs up on tables too early, the mop/broom out in view, lights not on down the road, bad marketing material, bad location planning, etc.
I'v watched the video a few days ago, LOVED IT! So much to learn from roy but also from Simon, what you're doing for the people Simon is amazing, keep going! At some point Roy is recommending a book he says is very simple but amazing, I can't remember nor can find it again without having to watch whole video over again, so if anyone can help me that would be great! Thanks : )
The service station comment “It actually looked dangerous to stop there” was I think really funny. True I’m sure, but funny. Rory Sutherland has a built in humour that’s unique. added edit; thanks you guys, you have helped to restore my confidence to try again.
listen, its all about mental sociology. if as a business you understand your customer you cannot loose. if you know how to get inside you customers head you cannot loose. understand the mind of the consumer. that's it simple.
Being good at one thing: Before Greggs started selling coffee a building site crew for example could be in and out in 5-10 min even if there were a few people in front in the queue. Once they started selling coffee that delay increased a lot. This is a big deal if you only have 30 min to have lunch and be back on site.
This was an excellent and insightful conversation that exposes entrepreneurs to the true value of understanding human psychology. Number crunching automotons can't start businesses or grow them, this is a reality that automation evangelists aren't conveying. It's possible that more businesses need Dream Big days that equally involve marketing as they do the CEO and creatives. One objective, one focus around complementary roles to achieve a collective Big outcome.
Superb Interview. There is a lot of good information. Pro-Audio Tip of the Day: If the guest will be speaking towards his right side of the body then place the wireless microphone on the right since the head will be facing that way. This will help make the sound more consistent on the volumes so they don't fade in and out. Hope that helps. Much Respect :)
This was a very insightful video. I am a musician and have found marketing music such a challenge. I can not tour as I have a young family but, by treating my music as a business and now I am realising the website I am building is going to be more than just presence online but, in a way my little shop. Being inviting, open and clear about my offerings and even pricing for music needs to be clear snd right. I am going to invest time in researching digital marketing
@stephaniejane-music Look up a scandinavian pianist called Soren Bebe. Review his website and sign up for emails, check out his socials, and you'll get a really good idea of how a relatively small musical operation can do marketing and promotion really well. I'm not connected with him in any way (apart from being a follower), but I admire how he goes about his business. Good luck!
Suggest you review the website of Soren Bebe, a scandinavian pianist who does marketing really well, in my opinion. Sign up for emails, and you'll see how he builds his 'brand' and markets his products. I'm not connected to him in any other way than being a follower - I just admire the way he goes about his business as an independent musician.
Great video as always, I own a automotive, service & MOT centre autobliss ltd, we are trying our best but struggling to market ourselves in a new way, videos like this definitely help, 100% appreciated 👍👍
Hi Simon at 49:09 The Book Rory recommends is from 1916 called "Obvious Adams" by Robert Updegraf about 4.5 pounds or $7 USD. I love that he looks at what is really happening, he observes like a detective instead of assuming the research done is correct.
PRE-ORDERED the book and waiting in excitement to see if I'll be joining your dinner + 2 hour time with you in January 🙂 Much thanks and love from The Netherlands!
Another amazing person who supports this conversation is bryon sharp....it would be amazing for you to interview him because he has an interesting take on what you have just said on this podcast....also jenni Romaniuk, she teaches the fame bit
Simon could you make the videos on IRL business traps what happens in that Thriller journey. I’m from India so the Geographical Zone does change the rules of this game. So how can anyone manage it. In business many things could be different but the unfiltered information and hidden knowledge is just priceless. Same like in Online business everyone is making it but nobody know how to make it. 🤯
Advertising gets you more trade. That extra trade pays for your advertising. You can end up actually losing money. I figured this out after 10 years i business. I stopped advertising and did less business but made more profit.
the music actually clashed with Rory, as he has a strong personality and swears a lot. And the music was so soft and sweet. Better no music next time. Other than that, incredible interview!!!!
Rory is correct about the new coffee machine pricing example. I was looking at getting a new webcam. The brand new model released a few weeks ago, was less than the previous model that was released 12 months ago, and sure enough, I emailed them to check which had the superior features! I then also saw several people asking the same thing online. 😅It did indeed mess with our heads. 😮
Excellent video on business growth strategies! As someone who works in the financial sector, I can attest to the importance of building strong foundations. Would love to see more videos on long-term planning.
What's your key takeaway from this video?

Don't focus all your effort on the low-hanging fruit. Make an effort with the people who are harder to sell to for long-term payoff.
Here's a takeaway. Erics fish and chips in Holt do fish n chips delivery 😋
Rory Sutherland is now my favourite person to listen to , may he live a long and curious life and may he share his genius with us forever
I’m in Rory’s industry. Simon has a wide audience so if you’re reading this and don’t understand how influential this guy is I just want you to know he’s the Godfather.

Thanks for book tip. Ordered immediately

Marketing is actually an advanced form of black magic. It’s all about bending people to your will, by believing or purchasing something they probably don’t want or need. Black magic is selfish, white magic is selfless. Alchemy is about changing states, and is probably not a misnomer (regarding the title) as marketing is quite often all about selling a ‘lemon’, although not having read it, i couldn’t possibly make an informed comment.
Listening to Rory is always an absolute pleasure. A lot of marketing is common sense but there's also a lot of sparks of genius, cunning and knowing psychoogical aspect of selling and knowing your market/customer. Love it!
I've watched thousands of marketing and sales videos and other tutorials online.

"Be the ignorant customer, what does your typograhpy say about who you are" is the best definition for marketing

Things such as the chairs up on tables too early, the mop/broom out in view, lights not on down the road, bad marketing material, bad location planning, etc.
Omg - these two together is a huge treat!!
Is it possible to consider removing the music playing underneath as it is very distracting over the whole conversation. Love the lessons shared here.
I'v watched the video a few days ago, LOVED IT! So much to learn from roy but also from Simon, what you're doing for the people Simon is amazing, keep going!
At some point Roy is recommending a book he says is very simple but amazing, I can't remember nor can find it again without having to watch whole video over again, so if anyone can help me that would be great! Thanks : )
The service station comment “It actually looked dangerous to stop there” was I think really funny. True I’m sure, but funny. Rory Sutherland has a built in humour that’s unique.
added edit; thanks you guys, you have helped to restore my confidence to try again.
listen, its all about mental sociology. if as a business you understand your customer you cannot loose. if you know how to get inside you customers head you cannot loose. understand the mind of the consumer. that's it simple.
What I find is that it's so much easier to come up with good research around retail / physical products. In software it's so much harder...
I thank you for this collaboration because I know how knowledgeable you 2 are
Love Rory, love Simon, this was great! So cool to see them together in the same room. Hopefully there's more to come from these two collaborating.
Love both of you independently. But all of Rory’s tips today were around lighting and basically put your lights on if you want more business
Being good at one thing: Before Greggs started selling coffee a building site crew for example could be in and out in 5-10 min even if there were a few people in front in the queue. Once they started selling coffee that delay increased a lot. This is a big deal if you only have 30 min to have lunch and be back on site.
This was an excellent and insightful conversation that exposes entrepreneurs to the true value of understanding human psychology. Number crunching automotons can't start businesses or grow them, this is a reality that automation evangelists aren't conveying.
It's possible that more businesses need Dream Big days that equally involve marketing as they do the CEO and creatives. One objective, one focus around complementary roles to achieve a collective Big outcome.
Excellent information!! Your guest is a gem!
Superb Interview. There is a lot of good information. Pro-Audio Tip of the Day: If the guest will be speaking towards his right side of the body then place the wireless microphone on the right since the head will be facing that way. This will help make the sound more consistent on the volumes so they don't fade in and out. Hope that helps. Much Respect :)
This was a very insightful video. I am a musician and have found marketing music such a challenge. I can not tour as I have a young family but, by treating my music as a business and now I am realising the website I am building is going to be more than just presence online but, in a way my little shop. Being inviting, open and clear about my offerings and even pricing for music needs to be clear snd right. I am going to invest time in researching digital marketing
@stephaniejane-music Look up a scandinavian pianist called Soren Bebe. Review his website and sign up for emails, check out his socials, and you'll get a really good idea of how a relatively small musical operation can do marketing and promotion really well. I'm not connected with him in any way (apart from being a follower), but I admire how he goes about his business. Good luck!
Suggest you review the website of Soren Bebe, a scandinavian pianist who does marketing really well, in my opinion. Sign up for emails, and you'll see how he builds his 'brand' and markets his products. I'm not connected to him in any other way than being a follower - I just admire the way he goes about his business as an independent musician.
So true, you just want a treat at the end of the day, and it's well past 4PM.
Great video as always, I own a automotive, service & MOT centre autobliss ltd, we are trying our best but struggling to market ourselves in a new way, videos like this definitely help, 100% appreciated 👍👍
How did this help?
Happy to go to a local farmers' market, buy some well-raised bacon and try it with HP sauce as I've always been a ketchup girl.
Hi Simon at 49:09 The Book Rory recommends is from 1916 called "Obvious Adams" by Robert Updegraf about 4.5 pounds or $7 USD. I love that he looks at what is really happening, he observes like a detective instead of assuming the research done is correct.
Thanks, Simon and Rory; all was interesting but the focus thing at the end is making me rethink a project I'm planning. ♥
PRE-ORDERED the book and waiting in excitement to see if I'll be joining your dinner + 2 hour time with you in January 🙂 Much thanks and love from The Netherlands!
This is like the most valuable Ronnie Corbet story I’ve ever watched
Another amazing person who supports this conversation is bryon sharp....it would be amazing for you to interview him because he has an interesting take on what you have just said on this podcast....also jenni Romaniuk, she teaches the fame bit
Simon could you make the videos on IRL business traps what happens in that Thriller journey. I’m from India so the Geographical Zone does change the rules of this game. So how can anyone manage it. In business many things could be different but the unfiltered information and hidden knowledge is just priceless. Same like in Online business everyone is making it but nobody know how to make it. 🤯
The bleeping is fine, the background music is fine, ignore the screeching spurgs that are just looking for attention. Great video.
This is the best video I've ever seen.
That was so educational. Learned more about marketing in that video than two years of college. Thank you!
Advertising gets you more trade. That extra trade pays for your advertising. You can end up actually losing money. I figured this out after 10 years i business. I stopped advertising and did less business but made more profit.
a day simon squibb drops a video is a good day
Great pod I absolutely love Rory too be literally watched everything of his on TH-cam but 2 ads every 5 minutes is a bit too much.
Rightly said you.
the music actually clashed with Rory, as he has a strong personality and swears a lot. And the music was so soft and sweet. Better no music next time. Other than that, incredible interview!!!!
Very clever and insightful. If he was a government consultant I bet we'd be doing a lot better
Rory is correct about the new coffee machine pricing example. I was looking at getting a new webcam. The brand new model released a few weeks ago, was less than the previous model that was released 12 months ago, and sure enough, I emailed them to check which had the superior features! I then also saw several people asking the same thing online. 😅It did indeed mess with our heads. 😮
Excellent video on business growth strategies! As someone who works in the financial sector, I can attest to the importance of building strong foundations. Would love to see more videos on long-term planning.
Manage perception and packaging as much as possible - love it "Podclass" ha!
This was excellent, thank you both for sharing your theories, models and experiences.
Great video, great questions leading to great content - absolutely nothing wrong with the background music.
