In other words, if your paradigm is one that assumes you are in danger, you may jump when a friend comes around a corner. On the other hand, if your paradigm says that everybody is your friend and you are safe, you will smile in greeting when that same friend comes around that same corner. It makes you wonder how many crimes get committed in Hollywood because the witnesses think it might be a movie!

This strategy suggests that a customer who looks at the dealership, is more likely to buy from that dealership. Think about the customers who come in to your own retail store, and consider the way they browse (or don’t browse) amongst your products. The goal of a retailer should be to create a store display that causes customers to stop and take a look around.
