8 Major Marketing Mistakes – What Makes People Say Yes

Tuesday, March 13th, 2018

Marketing and sales has a lot of do with persuasion – NOT by the seller but by the buyer.

Getting someone to say “Yes” – to themselves and to any product, service, information, experience, or relationship offered (regardless of its price, cost, value, use, or need) tends to be strongly influenced by the perception and emotional reaction to how it is presented. (more…)

Rabbits don’t hop; they gallop – even to walk.

Most four-legged animals are capable of many different “gait” patterns (to get from place to place). The same is true for human locomotion – and many movements humans are capable of can sometimes look a bit loco (crazy) to others who may not see them for what they really are.

Your Wish

Tuesday, June 26th, 2012

Your Wish Is Your Command. Yes, YOUR command. If wishes were horses, ride, ride, ride. Whatever your heart desires (to be, do, or have) desires you and is attracted to you in return.

What the bleep do we know? What do the some who may know not want everyone else to know? (more…)
