Stop Saying "Consumer" and Say This Instead

from The Rethink Marketing Podcast · host Colin Jeffries & Paul Frodge

On episode #152 of the Rethink Marketing Podcast, Colin Jeffries and Nick Smith split hairs and talk semantics. If words have power over thoughts, why are we still using the word "consumer" so widely? We have replaced "salesperson" with "consultant" and "vendor" with "partner," so why aren't we leaving the word "consumer" back in the 1950s? Does it really matter what language we use to describe people who transact with our business? You can listen to take5: The Rethink Marketing Podcast on all major podcast platforms.
