Melina receives rave reviews from audiences of all sizes and industries. Her fun, conversational approach is bringing behavioral economics out of academia and into application.
Melina Palmer is founder and CEO of The Brainy Business, which provides behavioral economics consulting to businesses of all sizes from around the world. Her podcast, The Brainy Business, has over 3/4 million downloads from more than 170 countries. Melina is an instructor of applied behavioral economics through the Human Behavior Laboratory at Texas A&M University, has contributed research to the Association for Consumer Research, and writes on Behavioral Economics & Business for Inc.com.
Her first book, What Your Customer Wants and Can’t Tell You, was a finalist for two categories of the International Book Awards and won first place in the Chanticleer International Book Awards.

The average person makes 35,000 decisions every day (most of which are on a subconscious level). Is your communication — to customers, employees, teams — working with the rules of the subconscious brain? Melina’s approachable style unlocks the secrets of the brain to help groups of any size and industry to become more brain friendly.
Bloomberg listed “behavioral scientist” as the top job of this decade for a reason – it is a field combining the best of economics, psychology and neuroscience to understand behavior. What could your team accomplish if you knew how the brain made decisions? Let’s find out.
“Our job would be so easy if it wasn’t for the customers.” Have you ever heard someone say that (or said it yourself)? The bulk of human decisions are made subconsciously (using rules of thumb that become very predictable when you know the rules). Because of this, behavioral economics is being implemented in companies around the world to better communicate with and attract customers.
This fun and engaging presentation, based on Melina’s award-winning book, What Your Customer Wants and Can’t Tell You, will explain what behavioral economics is, how brain science is being incorporated into everything from hospitals to household products, and how attendees can start applying their learnings in their work immediately using Melina’s “behavioral baking” approach. Bulk book discounts available.

When you’ve got a problem at work, how do you go about solving it? Thanks to our school structure, almost all of us have been taught that “brainstorming” is the best course of action. Unfortunately, even though it has the word “brain” in it…this method goes against the brain’s natural tendencies. In this session, Melina will show your team or group why questions are better and how to use them to ensure you work on the right projects and problems moving forward to be more effective and efficient.

Did you know the subconscious brain makes 95% of buying decisions? That means the vast majority of choices (including whether your customer chooses to buy from you) are made using rules of thumb that aren’t always logical. In this presentation, Melina will introduce five types of mistakes all businesses make in their wording and tips for how to stop being too vague, too literal, too boring, too confusing, and too much. Learn from their mistakes so you can create more leads – and paying customers!

Why do people buy products? What drives their behavior? Whether we like it or not, we humans buy almost everything (95%) with our subconscious brain. The subconscious makes snap decisions constantly, many of which have been developing for millions of years as a species. That means they can be easily predicted and built into product and pricing programs. Product presentation matters. The way you price matters. In this presentation, Melina will explain how to build, price, and present products to people will be driven to buy them again and again.

Using behavioral science, we can now know with up to 84% accuracy if someone will buy—without ever having to ask the question. And often a small tweak can make all the difference (in one example, changing a single word in an ad resulted in a 38% increase in sales!)
How? By understanding the brain and using those lessons to your advantage. Make your brand more “brain friendly” (and thus, more effective) when you know how habitual behavior, emotions, and the five senses are impacting your brand daily. And don’t worry, this presentation is in everyday language with simple examples and tips everyone can apply immediately.
