Insight selling: How retailers sell to us by stealth

Jordan Mittelman is obsessed with cycling - a passion he's harnessed to launch an award-winning business in the heart of Washington DC.
The US capital already has a large number of bike shops, and Mr Mittelman knew his High Street store, Bicycle Space, could only succeed by offering customers more than competitive prices and good service.
"People can find all the products we sell online, and are often so well-read and knowledgeable. They've looked up every detail and come in knowing so much," he says.
"To sell to those people you have to appeal to something greater - we're selling a lifestyle and an experience."
Marketers call this insight selling.
