Exempel:
OK, jag förstår att du är hungrig (need)! Vi kan gå till fiket här borta och äta en sallad (approach). Det ligger nära, salladerna är fräscha och det är lugnt och skönt så att vi kan prata (benefits). Eller också kan vi gå till McDonalds, men det är bullrigare och hamburgare är ju inte så nyttigt (competition).
