Unsticking Deals: Why Deals Stall, How to Unstick Them, And How to Prevent Them From Sticking in the First Place by James Muir  ABOUT THE BOOK: Stuck deals are arguably the biggest problem in sales. Depending on the industry, between 40-60% of all sales are lost to no-decision. The implications are staggering. This fact means that the problem of stuck deals and "no-decision" effectively doubles the cost of every sale, and wastes somewhere around one-half of every sales professional's time. The good news is that if we can unstick our deals (or even better, prevent them from sticking in the first place) we can effectively double our sales, dramatically shorten our sales cycles, and double our commissions. What you will learn in Unsticking Deals: Surprisingly, stalled deals are caused by just three things. The Universal Root Cause Maxim explains the three reasons deals stall in a single sentence. The five common sales issues that cause sales professionals to stick their deals. The three things that cause customers to suffer from indecision and how to overcome them. Why deals stall due to business case issues and the three simple things that need to be in every business case to prevent stalls. Five key prevention strategies that will prevent your deal from ever sticking in the first place. The five key plays for unsticking your deals - complete with templates and examples. This book is designed to be a quick reference guide. Each chapter has been designed to be brief and concise with actionable steps you can take right now to unstick your deal.  Once you've identified why your deal is stuck you can jump right to that chapter for solutions. These short chapters are arranged into six logical parts: Part 1 – Preventing Deals From Sticking Part 2 – Unsticking Plays Part 3 – What Causes Stuck Deals Part 4 – Strategies for Unsticking Deals Caused by Sales Issues Part 5 – Strategies for Unsticking Deals Caused by Client Indecision Part 6 – Strategies for Unsticking Deals Caused by Business Case Issues This book is for all those entrepreneurs, business leaders, and sales professionals who want to close those bloated pipelines and prevent deals from getting stuck in the first place. Reading this book will teach you how to unstick deals, shorten your sales cycle, and prevent deals from sticking to begin with. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: James Muir is the founder and CEO of Best Practice International and the bestselling author of the #1 book on closing sales – The Perfect Close: The Secret To Closing Sales, which was featured on episode 149 of The Marketing Book Podcast in 2017.  James is a 30-year veteran of sales having served in every role – from individual contributor to executive VP.  James has an extensive background in healthcare where he has sold to and spoken for the largest names in technology and healthcare including HCA, Tenet, Catholic Healthcare, Banner, Dell, IBM and others.

Lean Marketing: More leads. More profit. Less marketing. by Allan Dib ABOUT THE BOOK: Bigger Results with Less Marketing You keep being told to do more marketing — more complex, more aggressive, and more expensive marketing. Chasing the latest bright, shiny object is exhausting. Increased efforts keep leading to disappointment. The overwhelm for entrepreneurs, marketers, and business leaders is real.  There's a better way.   The lean movement has transformed manufacturing and is now revolutionizing marketing. Small, medium, and large businesses are getting bigger and better results with less marketing. In this book, you'll discover: Why many existing marketing techniques have stopped working and what to do instead. The exact tools and tactics you need to build a devastatingly effective marketing system. How to win with a simple, structured, and systemized approach rather than failing with random acts of marketing. How to pivot from bloated, ineffective, and wasteful marketing activities to ones that compel prospects to take action. How to create a strong product-market fit so that your target market intensely desires what you have to offer. How to do marketing you'll be proud of that works without hype, scams, or pressure. How to build a strong brand that creates goodwill and attracts ideal customers. Lean Marketing is a follow-up to the international bestselling phenomenon, The 1-Page Marketing Plan. Stop trying to outshout the other guy.  Stop blunt-force conventional marketing tactics that annoy, interrupt, and repel.  Stop wasting time with theoretical claptrap that doesn't work in the real world. Get immediate traction by implementing lean marketing. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Allan Dib is a serial entrepreneur, rebellious marketer, and technology expert.

Inside the Black Box: How Marketers Waste Billions in Online Advertising by Bob Hoffman  ABOUT THE BOOK: In 2024, marketers will spend over $650 billion on online advertising. A substantial proportion of this - perhaps in the hundreds of billions - will be completely wasted. Not for the usual reason - their advertising stinks - but for another, darker reason. They have been cheated, conned, and robbed. It has been clear for about a decade that a great deal of online advertising is crooked. It is a black box. Money goes in and nobody knows what comes out. Between ad fraud, made for advertising sites, hidden middleman fees, crooked publishers, unreliable data, unreliable reports, viewability issues, click fraud, false attribution, consumer inattention, and the utter lack of transparency, advertisers are being fucked blind. The book should be of particular value to executives (like CEOs and CFOs) who cross their fingers and hope their marketing people know what they're talking about (Spoiler alert: They don't.) It's also for marketing people who believe their suppliers give them accurate information (Spoiler alert: They don't.) It's also for media buyers who think they know what they're buying (Spoiler alert: They don't.) It is written in simple English, so you don't have to be a tech-head to get it. And, best of all – the book is free!   ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Bob Hoffman is the author of several best-selling books about advertising. He is also one of the most sought-after international speakers on advertising and marketing. His books include: Marketing Stinx ADSCAM: How Online Advertising Gave Birth to One of History's Greatest Frauds, and Became a Threat to Democracy  Advertising for Skeptics Laughing at Advertising BadMen: How Advertising Went From A Minor Annoyance To A Major Menace AND Marketers Are From Mars, Consumers Are From New Jersey ... all of which have been featured on The Marketing Book Podcast.   He is the creator of the popular “Ad Contrarian” blog, named one of the world's most influential marketing and advertising blogs by Business Insider.

The AI Playbook: Mastering the Rare Art of Machine Learning Deployment by Eric Siegel  ABOUT THE BOOK: In his bestselling first book, Eric Siegel explained how machine learning works. Now, in The AI Playbook, he shows how to capitalize on it. The greatest tool is the hardest to use. Machine learning is the world's most important general-purpose technology—but it's notoriously difficult to launch.  Outside Big Tech and a handful of other leading companies, machine learning initiatives routinely fail to deploy, never realizing value.  What's missing? A specialized business practice suitable for wide adoption.  In The AI Playbook, bestselling author Eric Siegel presents the gold-standard, six-step practice for ushering machine learning projects from conception to deployment.  He illustrates the practice with stories of success and of failure, including revealing case studies from UPS, FICO, and prominent dot-coms.  This disciplined approach serves both sides: It empowers business professionals, and it establishes a sorely needed strategic framework for data professionals. Beyond detailing the practice, this book also upskills business professionals—painlessly.  It delivers a vital yet friendly dose of semi-technical background knowledge that all stakeholders need to lead or participate in machine learning projects, end to end.  This puts business and data professionals on the same page so that they can collaborate deeply, jointly establishing precisely what machine learning is called upon to predict, how well it predicts, and how its predictions are acted upon to improve operations.  These essentials make or break each initiative—getting them right paves the way for machine learning's value-driven deployment. A note from the author: What kind of AI does this book cover? The buzzword AI can mean many things, but this book is about machine learning, which is a central basis for—and what many mean by—AI. To be specific, this book covers the most vital use cases of machine learning, those designed to improve a wide range of business operations. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Eric Siegel, Ph.D. is a leading consultant and former Columbia University professor who helps companies deploy machine learning.  He is the founder of the long-running Machine Learning Week conference series, the instructor of the acclaimed online course “Machine Learning Leadership and Practice – End-to-End Mastery,” executive editor of The Machine Learning Times, and a frequent keynote speaker.  His previous book is the bestselling "Predictive Analytics: The Power to Predict Who Will Click, Buy, Lie, or Die," which has been used in courses at hundreds of universities and was featured on episode 74 of The Marketing Book Podcast in 2016. Eric's interdisciplinary work bridges the stubborn technology/business gap. At Columbia, he won the Distinguished Faculty award when teaching graduate computer science courses in ML and AI. Later, he served as a business school professor at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business.  Eric's many media appearances include Bloomberg TV and Radio, Business News Network (Canada), Israel National Radio, NPR Marketplace, Radio National (Australia), Businessweek, CBS MoneyWatch, The European Business Review, The Financial Times, Forbes, Harvard Business Review, The Huffington Post, The New York Times, Newsweek, Scientific American, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post.

Scientific Advertising by Claude Hopkins (1923) with Jay Abraham ABOUT THE BOOK: Whether you are considering a career in advertising or trying to find the best way to market your product, start with Claude Hopkins (1866-1932) and then move on to the rest. In this interview, legendary marketer Jay Abraham talks about how Scientific Advertising changed the course of his career and life. In Scientific Advertising, Hopkins explains the process of getting (and measuring) results from your advertising. Claude Hopkins wrote Scientific Advertising in 1923, but his insight into consumer behavior still holds. The aim was to explain the rules of advertising and what makes consumers buy so that advertising returns would become a certainty and not a guess. Learn how to use his techniques to write ads that sell with certainty. Hopkins clearly shows how to write copy, provides methods for testing it, and shows how evidence-based advertising gets results in a measurable and cost-effective way. It is a must-read if you are in business, sales, or advertising. Hopkins shows what makes us buy and how you can make it happen. “Nobody should be allowed to have anything to do with advertising until he has read this book seven times. It changed the course of my life.” ~David Ogilvy In 21 short chapters, Hopkins reveals a variety of tested techniques that he used throughout his successful career in advertising: How advertising laws are established - What the professionals in advertising already know and how we can use this knowledge to develop better ads. Just salesmanship - What is advertising and how is it best used? Offer service - The best ways to offer service to increase sales. Mail order advertising - What it teaches us and how we can apply it to our advertising. Headlines - A lot of headlines get a poor response in email marketing, websites, and adverts. Learn how to increase your response rate. Psychology - Use Hopkins' experience to direct people to buy and use your product. Being specific - Are you being specific enough in your advertising? Hopkins shows that by using specific facts you can increase sales and outperform your competitors. Tell your full story - How telling your story is important and why some advertisers make the mistake of missing out on this. Art in advertising - Should we use bespoke artwork or tried and tested visuals? Things too costly - What strategies are too costly to attempt in advertising? Information - How to give the consumer the best information to help them buy. Strategy - Rules for directing a campaign. Use of samples - How getting samples into people's hands can increase sales. Getting distribution - Hopkins lays out how to get national distribution by starting small. Test campaigns - How to test different campaigns on the same audience. Leaning on dealers - Ways to get dealers to help your campaign Individuality - Set yourself apart from competitors and what your tone should be. Negative advertising - Will it help your sales? Letter writing - Hopkins shows how to write a sales letter. A name that helps - How does a product name impact sales? Good business - See how good business impacts consumer behavior. Excerpts from the book The only purpose of advertising is to make sales. It is profitable or unprofitable according to its actual sales. I never ask people to buy. The ads all offer service, perhaps a free sample. They sound altruistic. But they get a reading and action. No selfish appeal can do that. I set down these findings solely for the purpose of aiding others to start far up the heights I scaled. ABOUT JAY ABRAHAM: As Founder and CEO of The Abraham Group, Inc. (Los Angeles, California), Jay has spent his entire career solving complex problems and fixing underperforming businesses.  He has significantly increased the bottom lines of over 10,000 clients in more than 1,000 industries.

Never Lose an Employee Again: The Simple Path to Remarkable Retention by Joey Coleman About the Book: If keeping employees is a challenge for you, Never Lose an Employee Again offers a proven framework for increasing retention, engagement, and in the process, profits. Joey Coleman, one of the world's leading experts on employee experience, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to recruit top talent, bring them onboard successfully, and keep them engaged while they produce remarkable results for years to come. Finding and keeping quality employees is one of the greatest challenges facing businesses today. With more people quitting their jobs each month than ever before and employees demanding flexibility, freedom, and advancement, companies are struggling to build a foundation with new hires that leads to long-term commitment. To effectively combat the hiring crisis and remain competitive, business owners and managers must design an employee experience program that begins on day one. In Never Lose an Employee Again, Coleman offers a step-by-step playbook for creating a retention plan with long-term success. With more than fifty proven case studies from organizations on seven continents, Coleman details how you can forge a relationship with your people during each of the eight phases of the employee journey. For each phase, Coleman walks you through the six forms of communication integral to success (in-person, email, phone, mail, video, and even gifts) so you can better connect with your team.  You'll learn how to: write job descriptions that attract the right candidates (and plenty of them); counter the “hire's remorse” that every employee feels (yet few businesses ever address); welcome someone on their first day in a way that will leave them talking about it years later; acclimate your people to get them up and running faster and more effectively; re-engage your existing employees to turn them into raving fans;  … and much more. Never Lose an Employee Again will reshape the way you think about recruiting, hiring, onboarding, and retaining quality team members–whether you are an owner looking to hire your first few employees, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or an enterprise that needs to keep growing on a global scale. About the Author: Joey Coleman helps companies keep their customers and employees. As an award-winning international keynote speaker (he's spoken on all seven continents), he works with organizations around the world ranging from small startups to major brands such as Volkswagen Australia, Zappos, and Whirlpool. His Wall Street Journal best-selling book, Never Lose a Customer Again (which was featured on episode 167 of The Marketing Book Podcast in 2018), offers strategies and tactics for turning one-time purchasers into lifelong customers. Joey is a very proud graduate of Notre Dame University and is a recovering lawyer. And, interesting facts – after law school he worked at The White House, the CIA, and the Secret Service.

The Experience Mindset: Changing the Way You Think About Growth by Tiffani Bova About the Book: From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Growth IQ comes a guide to enhancing customer and employee experience simultaneously for unprecedented revenue growth. In the war for customer acquisition, businesses invest millions of dollars to improve customer experience.  They deliver packages faster, churn out new products, and endlessly revamp their UI, often putting greater strain on employees for diminishing returns.  According to Tiffani Bova, this siloed focus on customer experience – without considering the impact on your staff – actually hinders growth in the long run.  The most successful companies adopt an Experience Mindset that strengthens both employee experience (EX) and customer experience (CX) at the same time. Based on exclusive research from two Salesforce-sponsored studies of thousands of employees and C-suite executives, The Experience Mindset details exactly how your company can adopt an Experience Mindset, at scale.  It's not enough to know that happy employees equals happy customers. You must have an intentional, balanced approach to company strategy that involves all stakeholders – IT, Marketing, Sales, Operations, and HR – with KPIs and ownership over outcomes.  In this ground-breaking book, filled with case studies of leading companies and never-before-seen research, you'll learn: How people, processes, technology, and culture contribute to the “virtuous cycle” of EX and CX. Why the best companies have programs that minimize the customer's effort as well as the employee's effort (and how companies like Southwest and Best Buy get this right) How to effectively roll out technology solutions that boost both EX and CX (hard truth: only 20% of customer-facing employees believe technology makes their job easier. Employees want a seamless technology experience, just like your customers.) What metrics you can use to measure EX, CX, and ultimately, the effect of the two together? You can't improve what you can't measure. Employees are the heart of your business. If you want to remain competitive in today's marketplace, investing in people is no longer a nice-to-have, but rather a must-have. About the Author: Tiffani Bova is the global growth evangelist at Salesforce, a bestselling author, a highly sought-after international keynote speaker, and a podcaster.  Her previous book Growth IQ: Get Smarter About the Choices that Will Make or Break Your Business (featured on episode 241 of The Marketing Book Podcast in 2019) is a Wall Street Journal bestseller and has been translated into 10 languages.  Tiffani is ranked on the current Thinkers50 list of the world's top management thinkers and has appeared on MSNBC, Bloomberg, and Yahoo! Finance, and is a contributor to publications including Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and Entrepreneur.  As host of the podcast, What's Next! With Tiffani Bova, she interviews really smart people [including several authors whom I've had the honor of interviewing] about what's next for companies and individuals as they look to innovate and grow. Prior to working with Salesforce, she was a sales, marketing, and customer service executive for startups and Fortune 500 companies. She also spent ten years at Gartner, the world's leading IT research and advisory firm, as a distinguished analyst and research fellow where she helped companies such as Microsoft, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Oracle, SAP, AT&T, Dell, and Amazon Web Services to expand their market share and grow their revenues.  And, interesting fact – she grew up in Hawaii and she and President Obama attended the same high school!

Seeing the How: Transforming What People Do, Not Buy, To Gain Market Advantage by Allen Adamson About the Book: Among today's most successful businesses are those that have significantly transformed our daily routines.  This focus on the consumer experience, not solely on the product, has enabled them to drive remarkable growth and customer loyalty and, in many cases, to create totally new marketplace categories. Seeing the How invites you to reimagine your brand, company, or idea through the lens of consumer experience.  It gives today's disruptors a path to offering consumers a new and better way to do what they do, clearly demonstrating how to see opportunities, and how to seize them to great advantage.  Two years ago, Zoom was unknown to most, six years ago, Netflix was a DVD delivery service.  We ride in Ubers and stay with our families in Airbnb homes. We share Spotify playlists, refresh our closets with Bonobos, and pamper our pets with Chewy.  We set up meetings with Calendly and pay bills with Venmo.  The speed with which these disruptions to how we do things, and the enormous profits that come with changing daily routines, is breakneck and only points the way for other industries to carve out market dominance.  Seeing the How combines data-driven research on consumer behavior, behavioral psychology, marketing analysis, and storytelling to provide a framework to help identify the methods by which business leaders can make these experience disruptions possible.  Allen P. Adamson, an expert in branding, experience creation, and innovation strategy offers businesses a step-by-step guide to breaking into the market based on the tactics of the biggest experience disruptors, including Netflix, Apple, Warby Parker, and Stitch Fix.  These businesses speak to market segments and consumers that are diverse and far-flung. What they share is the extent to which they are experience disruptors. Their successes derive from their ability to make the stuff of daily life different, better, and easier.  Successful experience disruption is the de facto new competitive advantage across all categories.  With Seeing the How you'll have the strategy necessary to bring your disruption to life, command market segments, and cultivate consumer loyalty. About the Author: For more than 30 years Allen Adamson has helped launch, nurture, and reinvent brands, ranging from startups to nonprofits, to companies known worldwide, in categories including packaged goods, technology, healthcare, financial services, hospitality, and entertainment.   His philosophy, substantiated time and again, is that a successful brand stands for something that is both different and relevant - and simple for consumers to understand. A noted industry expert in all disciplines of branding, Allen has worked on the agency side for several iconic firms including Ogilvy & Mather and DMB&B, and on the client side for Unilever.  He was chairman of Landor Associates, a global brand consultancy where, under his leadership, the company worked with brands including Accenture, GE, Johnson & Johnson, FedEx, HBO, Marriott, MetLife, Procter & Gamble, Sony, and Verizon. Allen's four previous books are Brand Simple: How The Best Brands Keep It Simple And Succeed; Brand Digital: Simple Ways Top Brands Succeed In The Digital World; The Edge: 50 Tips From Brands That Lead; and Shift Ahead: How The Best Companies Stay Relevant In A Fast-Changing World, (which was featured on The Marketing Book Podcast on episode 163 in 2018). Allen has also written a column on branding for Forbes for 20 years. Allen is now co-founder and managing partner of Metaphorce, a consultancy that takes a disruptive, multidisciplinary approach to marketing challenges.

The metrics they are designed to improve — productivity, employee engagement, and even company profitability — don't budge. It is as if nothing had been done. The author Nicholas Webb's company has become something of an organizational hazmat team, tasked with cleaning up after ineffective quality of work-life initiatives.  Based on his experience with numerous organizations over thirty years, he has formulated powerful solutions that really work.

You will learn how to leverage these insights to avoid common mistakes and enjoy the benefits of proven methods that deliver real results.  If applied properly with the correct infrastructure and training, your organization will achieve some or all of the following benefits: Attract and keep the best talent in your market. Significant increases in employee productivity and presentism. Reduced workforce stress and healthcare costs. Improved returns on enterprise strategy. Major improvements in customer experience. Predictable and measurable increases in revenue. Improvements and cost reduction and efficiency. Predictable improvements and innovation. We live in challenging times. All over the world, employees of companies large and small are questioning their career choices. Instead of taking their life path for granted and settling for what society offers them, many are asking, “Is this all there is? Why should I commute to a boring or distasteful job with little future, just to pay my mortgage? I want to do something that has meaning to me. I want to get up and go to work with a smile on my face.” The Great Resignation served as a wake-up call. Today, the best companies have to compete for the best employees, and it's not just about the size of the paycheck, it's about performing meaningful work that creates value.

The Customer-Base Audit: The First Step on the Journey to Customer Centricity by Peter Fader, Bruce Hardie and Michael Ross About the Book: As a leader in your organization, you will be very familiar with your organization's key financial statements and monthly management reports. You may have spent countless hours discussing budgets and expenditures. But how much time have you spent reflecting on the fact that these revenues are generated by actual customers―the people who pull out their wallets and pay for your products and services? In The Customer-Base Audit: The First Step on the Journey to Customer Centricity, experts Peter Fader, Bruce Hardie, and Michael Ross start you on the path toward really getting to understand your customers' buying behavior as well as the health of your overall customer base. A customer-base audit is a systematic review of the buying behavior of a firm's customers using data captured by its transaction systems. It will help you answer questions such as: How healthy is your customer base? How realistic are your growth objectives? How do your customers differ in terms of their behavior and value? How has the quality of your customers changed over time? What changes in customer behavior lie behind period-to-period changes in firm performance? What is important to your high-value customers? Which products help you acquire and retain your best customers? Fader, Hardie, and Ross present five “lenses” through which an executive can address questions like those above. The answers are often lurking in various parts of the organization, but it is rare to find all the relevant analyses in one place, let alone performed on a regular basis (as an audit should be). Yet without such a basic, systematic understanding of the foundations of the firm's primary source of cash flow, how can executives make informed decisions? Fader, a Wharton professor, is the author of Customer Centricity and coauthor of The Customer Centricity Playbook, both of which have helped businesses radically rethink how they relate to customers. In this first step of the journey, Fader, Hardie, and Ross assist leaders in gaining a fundamental understanding of their customers' buying behavior―and thus their company as a whole. About the Author: Peter S. Fader is the Frances and Pei-Yuan Chia Professor of Marketing at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. His expertise centers around the analysis of behavioral data to understand and forecast customer shopping/purchasing activities. He works with firms from a wide range of industries, such as telecommunications, financial services, gaming/entertainment, retail, and pharmaceuticals. In addition to his various roles and responsibilities at Wharton, Professor Fader is also co-founder of Zodiac, a predictive analytics firm that was sold to Nike in 2018. He then co-founded (and continues to run) Theta to commercialize his more recent work on “customer-based corporate valuation.” Peter is the author of Customer Centricity: Focus on the Right Customers for Strategic Advantage and co-author with Sarah Toms of the book The Customer Centricity Playbook (which was featured on episode 222 of The Marketing Book Podcast in 2019). He has been quoted or featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, The Washington Post, and on NPR, among other media. And, interesting fact – he was a math major at MIT!

Prove It: Exactly How Modern Marketers Earn Trust by Melanie Deziel with Phil M. Jones About the Book: Your brand is on trial―here's how to win your case. You know your company is amazing. You say your company is amazing. But why should your customers believe you? In a crowded consumer courtroom full of shady advertisers all claiming to be the best, the fastest, the most caring, your brand is literally on trial―and that means you better deliver the proof. In Prove It, StoryFuel founder Melanie Deziel and master of influence Phil M. Jones show you how to leverage every content marketing tool in the box to blast through doubt and win the case with your customers. Using real-world examples from trusted brands across dozens of industries, they'll walk you step-by-step through the process of identifying and categorizing your business promises―even the ones you don't realize you're making―gathering the right evidence, and backing up each style of claim. You'll learn how to apply strategies like corroboration, demonstration, and education to a marketing context to show―not tell!―the convenience of your offerings, your comparability with the competition, your connection to your community, your competence in your industry, and your commitment to your values. And you'll discover the right format and platform to deliver each type of evidence to make sure your “jury of consumers” connects with your case. It's time to stand out from all the brands that shout “trust us, we're great!” at a skeptical audience. Your customers are waiting for you to prove it. About the Author: Melanie Deziel is a keynote speaker, award-winning content creator, and lifelong storyteller on a mission to share the power of compelling and credible content with others. She is the author of the bestselling marketing and business communications book The Content Fuel Framework: How to Generate Unlimited Story Ideas (featured on episode 279 of The Marketing Book Podcast), and co-founder of The Convoy, a B2B marketplace that pools the buying power of independently owned businesses to help negotiate discounts on expenses. From page 7 of Prove It... I served as the first-ever editor of branded content at the New York Times, where I coached our advertisers on how to create compelling content that our audience would value. As a consultant, I've helped Fortune 100 companies implement content strategies that focus more on the audience's needs and interests than on their lifetime value as a customer. And I've been lucky enough to stand on stages around the world, delivering keynotes and workshops on this very topic to audiences filled with sales professionals, small business owners, and marketers from every industry, background, and walk of life.

What Customers Hate: Drive Fast and Scalable Growth by Eliminating the Things that Drive Business Away by Nicholas Webb About the Book: This book will teach you how to eliminate what customers hate and lead your market and customer satisfaction. Whether you're selling to consumers or business-to-business (B2B), perfection in the marketplace does not exist. When making buying decisions, customers are faced with an array of imperfect choices. The best organizations in the world are not only delivering great customer experience, but they're also taking steps to proactively avoid the things that customers hate. These companies have learned that if you can eliminate what customers hate, you will instantly become the best option in your market. No company, brand, or service enjoys 100 percent love. There will always be some degree of hate in the mix. Hate is a source of friction, and if there is too much friction, the process of moving products and services— regardless of their high quality—into the hands of customers will grind to a halt. What Customers Hate will show you how to avoid the common pitfalls that have damaged some of the best organizations and best teams in the world, and how to change the philosophical view of customer experience so you can learn that customer experience is actually an innovation activity. This customer experience playbook will give you actionable takeaways that include: How to turn an upset customer into a customer for life, in five easy steps. Why “haters” will determine your organization's growth and profitability. How to thrive in the “experience economy.” The importance of the five-touch journey mapping. The impact of hate-love personification. How to turn your customers into “Evangelists.” The power of: Attraction, Promotion, Retention, and Avoiding Deflection. The secrets of the best organizations in the world. This book is the product of many years of front-line work with some of the top brands in the world and their customers. Set aside the theories and concepts, this is the playbook you need. You'll find that this approach will make it fast and easy to drive scalable growth, profitability, and most importantly, customer happiness. About the Author: Nicholas J.

Human-Centered Communication: A Business Case Against Digital Pollution by Ethan Beute and Stephen Pacinelli About the Book: Digital pollution is the problem. Human-centered communication is the solution. We're spending more time than ever in virtual environments. That will only increase, as will the amount of noise we encounter there. The seemingly endless series of unwelcome digital distractions range from frustrating to dangerous. As individuals and businesses, we not only spend time and energy managing this digital pollution, we often create it. At risk are relationships and revenue. The only viable way forward is to be more thoughtful, intentional, and personal. Human-Centered Communication provides a philosophy and practice to help you connect in more meaningful and effective ways with prospects, customers, team members, and every stakeholder in your success. Learn to: Break through the noise and earn attention Build trust and create engagement Enhance your reputation with both people and algorithms The concepts and models in this book apply to any form or channel of communication, but human centricity favors video.

The authors of the bestselling Rehumanize Your Business join with eleven industry-leading experts from companies like Salesforce, HubSpot, and RE/MAX to lead the growing conversation on leveraging human strengths in an increasingly digital world.

About this Bonus Episode: Not too long ago I was interviewed by Philip Stutts on his Undefeated Marketing Podcast. Longtime listeners may recognize his name since Philip has been a guest on The Marketing Book Podcast twice: The first time for his book Fire Them Now: The 7 Lies Digital Marketers Sell...And the Truth about Political Strategies that Help Businesses Win More recently to talk about his newest book, The Undefeated Marketing System: How to Grow Your Business and Build Your Audience Using the Secret Formula That Elects Presidents He was also on the show for part of the limited-time series Authors in Quarantine Getting Cocktails when I produced 66 episodes during the lockdown in 2020, and he was one of the primary reasons I started doing it. Philip has a very interesting background. For many many years, he has been a political consultant and has worked on over 1,200 political campaigns including U.S. presidential races in the United States. His political media firm is Go Big Media. Over the years a number of his clients asked for business marketing advice so he later established a separate marketing firm just for businesses Win Big Media. Much of his marketing advice is based on the realities of what has worked well for marketing candidates, and I find that very intriguing and enormously effective these days. Philip and I were introduced by another guest on the show, David Meerman Scott, author of several books including The New Rules of Marketing and PR: How to Use Content Marketing, Podcasting, Social Media, AI, Live Video, and Newsjacking to Reach Buyers Directly (7th edition), and Phillip later introduced me to the legendary Jay Abraham whom I was able to interview on the podcast about his book, The Sticking Point Solution: 9 Ways to Move Your Business from Stagnation to Stunning Growth. Phillip has really enjoyed being on The Marketing Book Podcast and has heard from a lot of marketing book podcast listeners, and he thought that this short interview might be of interest to my listeners because we talked about some key ideas from the first 350 books that have been on the show, and since last week I did publish episode 350 with Dorie Clark about her new book, The Long Game: How to Be a Long-Term Thinker in a Short-Term World, this seemed like a nice celebratory bonus.

It's already time for the October Favorites File. While naming, productivity and reviews may seem random, intentionality and purpose is an underlying theme with all three. To keep these actionable tips close by I've created a helpful summary to print and reference whenever you need it. What's in a name? Names are one of the most repeated parts of your brand - whether it is your brand name, or the name of a product or a service you offer - it is important to make your selection wisely. In episode 247 of The Marketing Book Podcast, Douglas Burdett interviews Alexandra Watkins about her book "Hello, My Name is Awesome!" Let's talk productivity Jocelyn K. Glei talks with Dan Harris on episode 207 of The 10% Happier podcast about how to overcome productivity shame through practicing heart-centered productivity and a healthy dose of tender discipline. Do you really want 5 Star reviews? Did you know that our brains are wired to resist being sold to? Yes, it is true. And 82% of people seek out negative reviews when making an online purchase. Todd Caponi discusses this with Douglas Burdett on episode 226 of The Marketing Book Podcast. He is the author of The Transparency Sale. Read the show notes here. 

The Pursuit of Purpose with Amy Austin

What does friction, a purposeful life, and audio branding have in common? Probably nothing more than making my list of favorites for August. This month flew by but not without some great educational or thought-provoking ideas catching my attention. Purpose and intention is the connection. Here is what you'll hear about in Episode 11 of The Pursuit of Purpose. As a reminder, each month I share what I've listened to, what I've read and other resources that have helped me navigate the month. Friction: The Untapped Force That Can Be Your Most Powerful Advantage by Roger Dooley. Episode 237 of The Marketing Book Podcast. "Friction is a multi-trillion dollar problem. It frustrates customers, costs you sales, reduces loyalty, and creates negative word-of-mouth. Inside your organization, it destroys productivity, reduces employee engagement, and increases turnover. In Friction, you'll learn how to spot it, how to eliminate it, and occasionally use it to your advantage." The Miracle Morning for Parents and Families by Mike & Lindsay McCarthy with Hal Elrod. Purposeful parenting is listed as the first skill necessary to be an exceptional parent. As I read this section, the parallels to leadership were apparent. Each of the four steps outlined to become more purposeful in our parenting can easily be applied to business development. Regardless of where we are in our business, confidence is still a factor in our day-to-day lives. The Candid Confidence project offered by the What Works Network has deepened the conversation around confidence - whether you are just getting started or have been in business for several years. The podcast episodes in this project include: 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 228, 229, 230, and 231. Audio selection is an element of our brand. Who knew that listening to Gretchen Rubin's Happier would result in this golden nugget? Not only is the title of the episode a good reminder for us all (consider the company that someone keeps), she shares her fascination with the podcast 20,000 Hertz, including a reference to the episode titled Soundmarks. To add build out the importance of audio to your brand, I found this about the five benefits of audio branding. And I close with a quote I found thought-provoking as well as close to my heart. You'll have to listen to learn more about it. Check out last month's Favorites File and download the full list of my recommended podcasts and books. Be sure to practice your purpose this week,
