My daughter P, just sent me this interesting TED talk about the intangible value of the stuff we market. This isn’t the old “Sell Benefits, Not Features” talk. This isn’t about coming up with new stuff to sell. It’s about finding creative ways to add value by changing your audience’s perception about what you’ve got. [...]

I’ve been saying this for years: business is a seduction! You’ve gotta make ‘em beg for what you’ve got. Well just saw this today from my good friend Jessica Kizorek (of Bad Ass Businesswomen fame) and my hopefully-soon-to-be good friend Michelle Villalobos (great last name Michelle!) I love these guys and what they’re saying to [...]

I’ve been coaching financial advisors for a long time. Their logos often look like the ones on the left. I tell them “Could I change the name on the logo and have it still make sense?” If yes, they’ve missed the mark.

It reminds me of a Saturday Night Live spoof but what do I know? Apparently Chanel paid Brad Pitt about 7 million bucks to lend his cache to this product (no snoozer itself). Should give every entrepreneur hope. It really is possible to sell anything if you understand what it is that you’re really selling. [...]
