But there are some deceptively simple ways to get your message across powerfully \u2013 and respectfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine describing the capabilities of a smartphone to someone who\u2019d never come across one before. Think about how you might explain the concept of an app. Say you\u2019d time travelled back to 1980 and had to describe how Snapchat, Siri or Apple Pay worked to someone living then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not easy, right?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a useful exercise in demonstrating how challenging it can be to present a new product or breakthrough concept to a new audience. There is a big learning curve and a lot of context required to help potential customers understand how a product will impact on their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding a product is key to getting, adopting and valuing it, so communicating its impact with <a href=\"http:\/\/salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/dos-and-donts-authentic-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noopener\">clarity, respect and authenticity<\/a> is crucial. Customers don\u2019t want to be confused or treated like they\u2019re missing the point or feel alienated by a brand they\u2019ve been loyal to.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, customers today are more likely to first learn about new products through digital channels like a website or email message rather than having it personally explained. That means the techniques for teaching a market about a new offering have to be even more sophisticated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many ways to educate customers about a new product. The only real limits are your creativity and ability to get the message across in an engaging way. Here are a few tactics to consider.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-imagine-explaining-it-to-your-extended-family\">1. Imagine explaining it to your extended family&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat do you again?\u201d may be one of the most common questions asked around the family dinner table but it provides a great opportunity to perfect your simplified elevator pitch. You need this same mindset and approach when describing a complex product to your customer. Go into the conversation knowing they don\u2019t have the same information or knowledge as you, take a moment to <a href=\"http:\/\/salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/especially-in-crisis-empathy-reigns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noopener\">deeply consider their perspective<\/a>, and then explain the complex product in the simplest terms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this approach, less is more. It\u2019s about educating customers by breaking down elements of a product while also making them feel smarter about how they\u2019ll use it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-let-the-customer-choose-the-format-that-works-best-for-them\">2. Let the customer choose the format that works best for them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember those choose-your-own-adventure books where readers could pick different ways to end the story? This is kind of the same idea, except you\u2019re offering alternate ways to learn about a product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some customers, a comprehensive brochure will do the trick. Others will respond better to a video tutorial or an infographic. Some might respond best to an audio walk-through about the product and the problems it solves through a podcast episode, or hearing from a customer \u2013 someone like themselves \u2013 about how they\u2019ve used the product and how its helped them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still other customers might use several different types of media as part of the learning process, particularly if they\u2019re responsible for explaining it to their coworkers or boss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-use-the-familiar-to-explain-the-foreign\">3. Use the familiar to explain the foreign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not everyone understands how software applications run in a data centre. But by using the vivid metaphor of the cloud, Salesforce together with many other companies communicated a complex idea in a powerful way that anyone could get their heads around.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A successful metaphor can precipitate huge leaps in understanding. They are a simple but powerful storytelling tool which can render a previously baffling idea into something totally comprehensible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about what your customer will use your product for, and relate that to something that your audience is completely familiar with \u2013 an animal, a landscape&nbsp; feature or a tool. Use that metaphor consistently in your messaging.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Familiarity gives your customers something to hook onto and this technique is used so commonly we almost don\u2019t notice it anymore. Consider the symbols used to represent Instagram (an old-school camera), messaging (a speech bubble), the \u2018phone\u2019 function on a smartphone (the old fashioned dial phone), email (an envelope) and e-shopping carts (a supermarket trolley). Things that once seemed beyond imagining were made suddenly quite sensible and understandable through familiar icons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\" noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/the-new-breed-of-sales-professionals-part-3\/\" target=\"_blank\">Selling innovative products is an art<\/a> that requires respect for your audience matched with a creative and intelligent approach to helping them understand why the product should matter to them \u2013 why it\u2019s worth their limited time and resources. These three tactics provide a solid foundation for creating a powerful approach to educating your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"layout-one wp-block-salesforce-blog-offer\">\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__wrapper\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__content\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-offer__title\">Learn the new standards of customer engagement.<br><a rel=\" noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/resources\/research-reports\/state-of-the-connected-customer\/?d=7013y0000029ku0AAA&amp;nc=7013y0000029ku5AAA\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-offer__description\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/resources\/research-reports\/state-of-the-connected-customer\/?d=7013y0000029ku0AAA&#038;nc=7013y0000029ku5AAA\">Get the report<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__graphics wp-block-offer__contour\"><\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t<!-- Standard Illustration -->\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-offer__graphics wp-block-offer__illustration\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/salesforce-blog\/dist\/images\/offer-block\/offer-illustration-layout-one.png\" alt=\"\">\n\n\t\t<!-- Small Accent Illustration -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-offer__graphics wp-block-offer__accent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/salesforce-blog\/dist\/images\/offer-block\/offer-accent-layout-one.png\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<!-- Left Side Illustration -->\n\t\t\n\t\t<!-- Cloud Illustration -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-offer__graphics wp-block-offer__cloud\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/salesforce-blog\/dist\/images\/offer-block\/offer-cloud-layout-one.png\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Educating your customers about a new product can be a real challenge.
