Think you're making rational buying decisions? Think again. In this eye-opening conversation, marketing veteran and behavioral science expert Gee Ranasinha reveals why 95% of marketing fails—and it's not because of bad products or services. Gee has spent 18+ years helping over 400 businesses in 20+ countries crack the code on what drives sales.
