“Many companies increase their clients and profits merely by shifting their focus from trying to make a huge profit on acquisition of a new client to making their real profit on all the repeat purchases that result from those new clients.”
“A marketing genius is someone who has the ability to always get the maximum result from the minimum effort-not the person with the most creative ingenuity…anyone can become a virtual marketing genius equivalent by doing one simple thing: testing.”
“The single most important strategy you can use to maximize the value of all the other strategies is to communicate on a regular basis with everyone who contributes, or ever will contribute, in any way to your business success.”
Richard Koch
“Displaying short-term interest is self-defeating; it tends to undermine trust. The way to get ahead is to have a large network of cooperators, and cooperators find it hard and uncongenial to deal with transparently self-interested people. They will only do so if there is no choice. For a time, greed may drive out cooperation. In the long run, cooperation will drive out greed.”
“Think service-time. Dramatically reduce the time you take to deliver products and services to your customers. Think not of products and time, but product-time. Not service and time, but service-time….Realize that customers’ and competitors’ perspectives will always be different from your own. Struggle to understand their viewpoints. Influence the customer’s view by being there, molding customer perception even as it is being formed. Immerse yourself in your market.”
Malcolm Gladwell
“We live in a world that assumes that the quality of a decision is directly related to the time and effort that went into making it…We believe that we are always better off gathering as much information as possible and depending as much time as possible in deliberation. We really only trust conscious decision making. But there are moments, particularly in times of stress, when haste does not make waste, when our snap judgments and first impressions can offer a much better means of making sense of the world. The first task of Blink is to convince you of a simple fact: decisions made very quickly can be every bit as good as decisions made cautiously and deliberately.”
Dan Kennedy
“If they can’t find you, they can’t interrupt you….When you focus your self-discipline on a single purpose, like sunlight through a magnifying glass on a single object, look out! The whole world will scramble to get out of your way, hold the doors open for you, and salute you as you walk by.”
“A person who cannot keep appointments on time, cannot keep scheduled commitments, or cannot stick to a schedule cannot be trusted in other ways either.”
“If you don’t manage information, you can’t profit from information.”
Brene Brown, Ph.D.
“Stillness is not about focusing on nothingness; it’s about creating a clearing. It’s opening up an emotionally clutter-free space and allowing ourselves to feel and think and dream and question.”
Daniel Coleman
“The first step in influence is building rapport.”
Greg McKeown
“In order to have focus we need to escape to focus.”
Dr. Henry Cloud
“The character of the person is what determines his or her ability to meet the demands of reality.”
“True listening and understanding occurs only when the other person understand that you understand”
John C. Maxwell
“You don’t make decisions because they’re easy…
You don’t make decisions because they’re cheap…
You don’t make decisions because they’re popular…
You make decisions because they’re right.”
