I look for patterns not people. You should also read Bob Altemeyer’s take on followers and leaders based on 20 years of research. You’ll be surprised.

And they spend a lot more on and care a lot more about houses and cars.

When a seller says the customer isn’t qualified to evaluate and consume their product, it sounds awfully condescending – more like someone is afraid of competing and making excuses for it – then viewing it as an opportunity to help the customer understand why their product is better.
