Analyzing Your Audience
Published:01/31/2014 03:53am
No matter how great your content, it won't get heard unless you are tweaking your speaking to address your audience's unspoken question, "What's in it for me?" Oftentimes we spend a great deal of time developing our topic, key points, great openings and conclusions, and we don't consider or spend much time evaluating who is in the audience and what they came to hear. Analyzing your audience goes beyond considering just demographics: age, gender, ethnicity, etc... Knowing your audience involves understanding their values and beliefs.About a year ago, a marketing manager who worked for a well-known sports beverage company came to...

All of North America has been hit by an extreme cold snap this week. Many people that don't usually get cold snowy weather are getting a taste of old man winter.

We are only half way through winter and have already received at least 3 ft of snow and many days of below -30 Celsius temperatures.This got me thinking about some addition winter costs we may not think of....

If you're like so many conscious/heart-centered entrepreneurs, a lot of traditional copywriting probably makes you pretty uncomfortable.

Manifesting A Mercedes Benz!
Published:01/19/2014 05:34am
When I wanted a Benz and had no idea how to get one nor money, I would get in my rusty, beat up, bent up Hyundai and say to myself, "I love driving my Benz!" "I'm so lucky to have this beautiful car!" I just pretended - in every way I could think of - whenever I thought of it - that I was driving a Benz.When I parked in a lot and they hid my car in the back behind the others, but the nice cars are parked up front for everybody to see - I'd pretend one of them...
Never Forget That Your Customers Have a Choice
Published:01/19/2014 04:23am
People don't like to be taken for granted, irrespective of whether they are giving freely of their time and resources or whether they are paying for them. Customers may also leave if they feel they are being taken advantage of by not getting consistent high levels of service and some sort of communication periodically. Make a customer feel taken for granted or taken advantage of and just expect his or her business to keep coming your way, and you will lose him or her forever.Customers have always had choices, but in today's global markets they have more choices than ever before...
