The Trigger Matrix
By Parind Sarmalkar
You explain more.
The buyer still goes quiet.
“Send me the details.”
You send a proposal. Then you keep following up without knowing what is missing.
“We already do that.”
Your offer has value, but your message sounds like everyone else's.
“Let me think.”
The buyer seems interested, but you have not helped them feel ready for the next step.
A clearer message cannot fix every sales problem. But it can help buyers understand why your offer matters, what supports it, and what to do next.
Move from a broad claim
to a useful conversation.
“We offer high-quality marketing services for growing businesses.”
It describes the service. It gives the buyer little to recognise or explore.
“Getting enquiries, but few useful sales conversations?”
“We help service businesses make their offer clearer. Start by seeing how we would rewrite one of your messages.”
Illustrative rewrite, not a measured result. It uses empathy, specificity and a simple next step. The right message still needs testing.
Know what to change.
And why you are changing it.
33 triggers, explained
Understand ideas such as trust, empathy, proof and specificity. See how to use them and which mistakes to avoid.
13 industry guides
Find applications for businesses ranging from manufacturing and professional services to retail, healthcare and technology.
A sequence you can follow
Use Awareness, Alignment, Action and Achievement to think through the buyer's journey, rather than adding triggers at random.
Before-and-after examples help you see the change. The implementation guidance helps you put it to work.
