What I Learned at the Grocery Store
Can a simple trip to the grocery store provide profound marketing
insights? It can if you take the time to open your eyes and ears and
pay attention to what is pulling you and pushing you through the store.
More
Lessons from the Grocery Store
This is a continuation of the "business lessons" I learned while
grocery shopping. The first part of this article ran in a national
publication, but this supplement has only been available on the web
site.
There's
Nothing New in
Marketing?
As a Behavioral
Economist and Psychological
Marketer,
I frequently encounter resistance to the cutting edge nature of my
work.
There is the often-batted-around notion that there is nothing new in
marketing. "Study the classics," the purists yell, "and you have all
you
need."
While I do study the classics and hold dear to established
truths and proven principles, this article exposes some of the reasons
why I don't
run my businesses based solely
on the work of decades past.
How to Get Great
Testimonials
Powerful, positive testimonials about your product and service can be
the difference between getting the sale or not. Learn how to ensure
that your customers and clients not only provide these great marketing
tools for you, but also how to ensure that you get the best comments
possible.
Living
the 80/20 Rule
When speaking to
groups about developing Explosive
Productivity in their lives and in their businesses, it is impossible
not
to discuss what has become known as the 80/20 rule. While there is a
lot of misconception about the Pareto Principle, it is valuable to
understand how this idea can revolutionize your life.
Sincerity
Bob
Hope once said, "The secret to success is sincerity. If you
can
fake that, you've got it made!"
This article takes a humorous, but insightful look at the
psychologically persuasive powers of dealing with people in a sincere
way.
2007
Workshop Review
From
time to time I host intensive public seminars
that last from one to four days on a range of topics. In 2007 I held a
conference for a group of professional magicians who paid $2,500 each
to attend the three-and-a-half-day event. This is an article that was
written by one of the attendees for one of the trade magazines for
children's entertainers.
Due to copyright arrangements with the author of this article and
the original publisher of the magazine, this article is NOT
available to reuse in any forum or format. You are however, welcome
to read it! You can also find out more about what happened at this seminar by
visiting our product catalog.
The
Five Customer Behaviors
There are five behaviors that every business owner should strive to
foster among customers and prospects. One or two will keep your doors
open and money in the bank. Learn and develop three or four and your
company will lead the field. If you can master all five, you will leave
a legacy for your children and grandchildren.
This is an e-book,
not just an article. You will be
asked to provide your e-mail address in order to get the entire PDF.
But feel free to read the first part of the e-book with no obligation.
