Praise for WYPG?

"In business you do must do something that’s above and beyond what’s expected. Phelps shows the ingredients behind creating signature extras that are unconventional and innovative. Every business should be asking themselves, "What’s our Purple Goldfish?"

-Tony Hsieh, NY Times bestselling author of "Delivering Happiness" and CEO of Zappos.com, Inc.

"Influence isn’t a score, it is the ability to cause, effect or change behavior. Phelps shows marketers how to add that ’little something extra’ that influences consumer behavior and drives word of mouth."

- Brian Solis, Author of The End of Business as Usual, Named a Top 2011 Business Book by Publisher’s Weekly

"What’s Your Purple Goldfish? is the new benchmark for customer service and experience excellence. The single source for numerous concepts and innovations that can help build the foundation for a world class brand! (I just hope my competition doesn’t find this book.)"

- Chris Zane, Author of Reinventing the Wheel - The Science of Creating Lifetime Customers

"Stan’s approach of delivering the unexpected, lagniappes, is a great way to break from the pack and instill a mindset of customer delight across your company."

- Bruce Temkin, Author of The 6 Laws of Customer Experience

"Your project has been an inspiration. I’ve talked about it many times, and included links in my articles. CEM can be complicated, but your examples show that with some creativity, companies can stand out by doing a little something extra."

- Bob Thompson
CEO of CustomerThink.com, the world’s largest community dedicated to customer-centric business, Author of CrowdService: Harnessing the Wisdom of Crowds in Customer Service and Support

"What’s Your Purple Goldfish? busts a myth and reveals a simple truth about customer service. Stan uncovers the recipe for creating signature added value that increases customer satisfaction and drives positive word of mouth."

- Barry Moltz, Author of Bounce, Crazy and B-A-M

"What’s Your Purple Goldfish? is a great guidebook full of real-world examples business owners can use to increase great experiences to delight and surprise their customers. Two years ago when I first heard of this program, I begged Stan to stop at 100 examples, thinking there was no way he could ever find 1,001 stories. True to the lessons in this book, Stan delivered this and then some, and this book is sure to inspire you to give your customers some lagniappe. Read this book before your competitors do or be left in the dust."

- Phil Gerbyshak, Author / co-author of 10 Ways to Make it Great! and #Twitterworks
