“Word of mouth influences 50% of all purchases yet no one has a strategy for it.” Ask any business what drives the most leads and sales and the answer is almost universally — word of mouth. Yet, as Jay Baer notes, we leave it largely to chance. That's why he and Daniel Lemin co-authored Talk Triggers, a new book to provide a reliable system system for word of mouth. We discussed all of this and more this week with both of these authors on the On Brand podcast. Enjoy!

Jay and Daniel have created a helpful infographic that breaks this down. Check it out! “A manual for giving your customers a story to tell.” That's what Jay and Daniel set out to create with Talk Triggers. Where do you begin? “Let's start with the worst way. Get everyone in a room and brainstorming. You need to document your customer journey. You need to include new, longtime, and lost customers.” Jay went on to note that you have to look for the story in places people don't expect. From DoubleTree and their famous cookies to “Dr. Snip.” Jay and Daniel shared several examples from business of all shapes and sizes across industry including a Seattle-based vasectomy surgeon who gives away a unique — and very talkable — gift to his patients. What the difference between an alpaca and a llama? What would you call a business designed to ship custom butter sculptures? You'll have to listen to the full show for the answers to these questions! However, Daniel did provide you with some teaser content in meme form! What brand has made Jay and Daniel smile recently?

Word of mouth is nothing new. For generations, it’s been talking with your neighbor over the fence, at the local watering hole, or telling your co-worker about the latest movie in the breakroom. As a business, word of mouth is sparked by those things that you do that separate you from the pack. These talk triggers are so memorable and unique that your customers can’t help but talk about them. My guest Daniel Lemin gives plenty of examples that show us that talk triggers are rarely very expensive, and they tend to be operational differentiators rather than gimmicks or flash in the pan activities. Think Doubletree’s complimentary cookie when you check in or the Cheesecake Factory’s epic novel of a menu. Daniel has co-written a book with Jay Baer about this powerful marketing technique appropriately called Talk Triggers. In this episode, Daniel and I chat about what he and Jay learned in their research and the insights they gleaned for all marketers. These B2B and B2C brands (large and small) are following a specific pattern as they create and execute their talk triggers and Daniel will walk us through that as well. We look at this topic from many angles – from how agencies can leverage this phenomenon and, of course, how we can put it into practice for our clients. Daniel Lemin is a startup co-founder, trusted advisor and bestselling author on reputation management, digital marketing, and social media customer service. As an early member of Google’s global communications team, Daniel led the launch of products in North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific, and edited the Google Zeitgeist weekly research report featured in over 40 markets worldwide. His new book with co-author Jay Baer, Talk Triggers, explores word-of-mouth marketing and lays out an indispensable framework for building them in your own organization. Daniel regularly provides expert commentary on TV and in high-profile publications such as the New York Times, USA Today, CBS Radio, and Fox News, and speaks and leads workshops across the nation. In 2015, he released his first book, Manipurated. A native of Ohio, Daniel earned his MA in communications and leadership from Gonzaga University. He lives in Los Angeles with his cocker spaniel Truman and enjoys the simple joys of gin martinis, jazz, and eating his way around the world—he’ll try nearly anything as long as it doesn’t bite back. What you’ll learn about in this episode: How to put structures in place to create WOM talk triggers Why it’s got to be remarkable to be a talk trigger How something as simple as a cookie or a deck of cards can get people talking Why talk triggers are so often about operational differentiation Why talk triggers need to be available to everyone—it’s not about exclusivity The best examples of word of mouth are never complicated or expensive Why metrics for word of mouth are more complicated than other marketing metrics What metrics you CAN use to measure the impact of word of mouth An unexpected benefit of well-done talk-trigger campaigns—they make the workplace more enjoyable for employees How to Contact Daniel Lemin: Website: daniellemin.com Book: talktriggers.com Email: daniel@talktriggers.com We’re proud to announce that Hubspot is now the presenting sponsor of the Build A Better Agency podcast!

In the last three months of the 2016 Presidential election fake news outperformed real news on Facebook. Without getting political, the point I'd like to pull out is that most people can't call B.S. online when they see it. They lack what I call digital discernment, which is a skill they must be learned. This is in strake contrast to the “un-College” movement that touts self-study via search engines over higher education. Just Google-ing it can work, assuming you know how to make heads or tails out of the results; which as we've seen above most people can't! You'll Learn: Consider the source: most people telling you not to go to College either have no formal education or have degrees unrelated to digital marketing. The real pros and cons of a degree in Digital Marketing from someone who actually has one. How Web 2.0 has fundamentally changed the Internet and how Google works. The Paradox of Choice: the more options you have the harder it becomes to make a decision. Social proof can be gamed. Rating and reviews are easily manipulated. HORROR STORY: Black-hat info can get you de-indexed from Google without you even knowing it. 3 Key Points: Context trumps content: Just Google-ing only works if you can call B.S. online. Most people can't! Access to Capital: There is indeed a lot of valuable free content online, but the top shelf info still needs to be paid for. Often times you're looking at tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket. College vets the info you're exposed to so you never have to worry about any MLMs or black-hat tactics being passed off on you. Resources Mention: 5 Reasons You 5 Reasons May Suck!
