Attributes • Copy: • Longer wheel base • High-rigidity body underpins • 17-inch ventilated disc breaks 28

Benefits (and costs) are: Subjective/personal In the present, not the future Unknown until you talk to your audience 34
“Swallow Your Cause” Rewards may have nothing to do with “our cause.” They come from the personal wants of our audience. We must communicate the rewards we have to offer 35
