Lesson #3: Create the Illusion
| |
| Until 1985, what was known about Lauder’s life was limited largely to what she decided to reveal. She had created an image of herself as the Cosmetics Queen whose eternal youth, beauty and class could not risk being marred by the reality of her somewhat plain upbringing. In 1985, that all changed when Lauder learned of the soon-to-be published unauthorized story of her life and she was prompted to write her own biography. But, even with the release of Estee: A Success Story, little was in fact exposed to help break down the myth of the larger than life Lauder. |

Lesson #2: “Getting out of the way is really important”
| |
| One of the reasons why Craigslist has become such a success story is because Newmark has understood the importance of getting out of the way where and when it mattered. From content to overall management of the site, he knew that it was not going to be him who always had the best answers. And, where it counted, he was willing to step back and hand over the reigns. |

A Great Example!

Forgiveness Technique
| |
| Adults with ADHD typically experience more criticism and “unpleasant” situations in their life than their non-ADHD peers. These experiences begin as a child, through teenage years and into adulthood. Not only are these experiences disagreeable at the time, but also the memories of these situations can still affect you years after it occurred. A memory can pop up into your mind while you are driving along, or in the supermarket line. What “Mrs. Smith” said about your Maths when you were eight years old, or the nasty comment Susy (your last, but only girlfriend) said about you. |

Use "Social Proof" to Build Trust and Credibility
| |
| Show them what others have to say
It is understandable that most prospects have been conditioned to be somewhat skeptical about the claims made by most sales people today. You can't really blame them either. Fact is, some sales people do make exaggerated, unsubstantiated claims about their product, their company, their service etc.
So when you make a claim about what you're offering... |

He Who Hesitates…waits…and waits…and waits…

Make Time for Sales`
| |
|
The SBA states that 90% of all businesses fail in their first 5 years. They can blame it on location, credit, competitors, economy-- but the real reason is not enough business. Business owners wear many hats and can easily make excuses for being busy. But they must focus on that top line, or little will make it to the bottom. |

What if They Don’t Buy?
| |
| This post I am writing in response to the story about the UK Soil Association’s decision to increase barriers to airfreight produce imports from other countries. When I read this story my heart became heavy for the Kenyan and Ghanaian farmers who will likely lose income and might ultimately be forced to sell or reorganize their farms; as a result of the harsh new standards imposed upon agricultural products flown into the UK from abroad. |

Secrets of Successful Business Partnering

| Partnering for business is not unlike partnering for a lasting marriage. Do the partners have to be similar in characteristics? Do they have to know each other for a long a time? Do they need a complicated “prenuptial” agreement? I venture to propose, not at all. The secrets to a lasting business partnership are actually quite simple. Below is a proven recipe. |

telling stories the brand connection
| |
| Today, we're interested in stories, and not particularly interested in facts. Every story needs facts, of course, but they are secondary. The facts are there just to provide some ballast for the story. There are always so many facts that don't fit into the story, and insofar as they don't fit, depending on our commitment to the story, we have a tendency to disregard them. Every good story has some connection to the truth of our experience, but the story's the thing.

Resist the Interpretation Addiction
| |
| Sometimes we adopt a story and unknowingly our emotions get swept up in it. And 99% of the time we don’t really question or inquire into the story we create. We treat our story as what actually happened. The problem, of course, is that the story influences, in part, the action you take in subsequent events. This article is about identifying the stories you may have created, working around them and managing them.

The Most Important PR Secret
| |
| What most entrepreneurs and companies don't understand is that often the main job of the PR firm is to find the right story. It's often not the obvious story that works, because that's the same angle that the competition will be pitching. Without the right story and tone, you have a weak campaign, at best. Finding the right story, that's what it all comes down to. |

Rags to Riches…Anecdotally Speaking
| |
| I love listening to a good story...especially ones about entrepreneurs and their path to eventual success. The woman or man who turned nothing into something, who did it quickly, and without the help of others, AKA the "rags to riches" story.
I think there is a yearning in every entrepreneur who hears these stories to identify with the subject and imagine how it could happen to them. Like there is some magic formula to success, and if we could just do this one or two things...our business would take off, our work load would ease up and we would start living the good life we deserve.

Make Your Story Add Value to Your Clients Bottom Line
| |
| The purpose of your story for a workplace audience is to improve the bottom line. Even in those employee appreciation programs where entertainment may seem the focus, there is an undeniable expectation of increased productivity after your story is heard. The question to ask yourself when using your story is: What is the point of the story and how does the story improve a client's bottom line? |
