Thesaurus of WOW! “ They” hate it if you call them “bankers.” “They” love it, on the other hand, when you ask to see their #s—stupendous. “They” are … Commerce Bank. These absurdly fast growing, insanely profitable “retailers,”  rewriting the rules of East Coast retail banking, sent me a copy of their booklet, “Traditions.” It explicates their  “Wow the Customer Philosophy.”  At the end there’s “A Collection of Commerce Lingo.” I won’t define (use your imagination), but simply offer a small sample: “Fans, Not Customers.” “Say YES … 1 to say YES, 2 to say NO.”  (A staffer has to get a supervisor’s approval to say “no” to anything.) “Recover!!! To Err Is Human; To Recover Is Devine.” “Leave ’Em Speechless.” “Positive Behavior.” “Positive Language.”  “Kill A Stupid Rule.” (Get cash rewards for exposing dumb internal rules “that impede our ability to WOW!”)  Make the ‘WOW! Answer Guide’ Your Best Friend.” “Buzz Bee.” “CommerceWOW!Zone.” (A K-12 financial education program.) “Doctor WOW!” “Ten-Minute Principle.” (“Stores” open 10 minutes before posted hours, stay open 10 minutes after posted hours—and the hours, such as open 7 days a week, are already incredibly generous & tradition-shattering.) “Wall of WOW!” “WOW! Awards.”  (The annual recognition ceremony—Radio City Music Hall, with the Rockettes, in ’05.)  “WOW! Patrol.” “WOW! Spotlight.” “WOW Van.” “WOW Wiz.” (A service superstar.) Etc.

Just Say  “No”  to …   Imitation !
“ To grow, companies need to break out of a vicious cycle of competitive benchmarking and imitation.”   —W. Chan Kim & Ren é  Mauborgne, “Think for Yourself —Stop Copying a Rival,”  Financial Times /08.11.03
“ This is an essay about what it takes to create and sell something remarkable. It is a plea for originality, passion, guts and daring. You can’t be remarkable by following someone else who’s remarkable. One way to figure out a theory is to look at what’s working in the real world and determine what the successes have in common. But what could the Four Seasons and Motel 6 possibly have in common? Or Neiman-Marcus and Wal*Mart? Or Nokia (bringing out new hardware every 30 days or so) and Nintendo (marketing the same Game Boy 14 years in a row)? It’s like trying to drive looking in the rearview mirror.   The thing that all these companies have in common is that they have nothing in common .   They are  outliers. They’re on the fringes. Superfast or superslow. Very exclusive or very cheap. Extremely big or extremely small. The reason it’s so hard to follow the leader is this: The leader is the leader precisely because he did something remarkable. And that remarkable thing is now taken—so it’s no longer remarkable when you decide to do it.” —Seth Godin,  Fast Company/02.2003
Great Companies …  SET   THE   AGENDA .  (Period.)
Walgreens vs London Drugs
WallopWal*Mart16
The “Small Guys” Guide: Wallop Wal*Mart16 * Niche-aimed.  (Never, ever “all things for all people,” a “mini-Wal*Mart.) * Never attack the monsters head on!  (Instead steal niche business and lukewarm customers.) * “ Dramaticall y  Different ”  (La Difference ... within our community, our industry regionally, etc … is as obvious as the end of one’s nose!) (THIS IS WHERE MOST MIDGETS COME UP SHORT.) * Compete on value/experience/intimacy, not price.  (You ain’t gonna beat the behemoths on cost-price in 9.99 out of 10 cases.) * Emotional bond with Clients, Vendors.  (BEAT THE BIGGIES ON EMOTION/CONNECTION!!)
The “Small Guys” Guide: Wallop Wal*Mart16   * Hands-on, emotional leadership.  (“We are a great & cool & intimate & joyful & dramatically different team working to transform our Clients lives via Consistently Incredible Experiences!”) * A community star!  (“Sell” local-ness per se. Sell the hell out of it!) * An incredible experience, from the first to last moment—and then in the follow-up!  (“These guys are cool! They ‘get’ me! They love me!”) * DESIGN DRIVEN!  (“Design” is a premier weapon-in-pursuit-of-the sublime for small-ish enterprises, including the professional services.)
The “Small Guys” Guide: Wallop Wal*Mart16   * Employer of choice.  (A very cool, well-paid place to work/learning and growth experience in at least the short term … marked by notably progressive policies.) (THIS IS EMINENTLY DO-ABLE!!) * Sophisticated use of information technology . (Small-“ish” is no excuse for “small aims”/execution in IS/IT!) * Web-power!  (The Web can make very small very big … if the product-service is super-cool and one purposefully masters buzz/viral marketing.) * Innovative!  (Must keep renewing and expanding and revising and re-imagining “the promise” to employees, the customer, the community.)
The “Small Guys” Guide: Wallop Wal*Mart16   * Brand-Lovemark*  (*Kevin Roberts)  Maniacs ! (“Branding” is not just for big folks with big budgets. And modest size is actually a Big Advantage in becoming a local-regional-niche “lovemark.”) * Focus on women-as-clients.  (Most don’t. How stupid.) * Excellence!  (A small player … per me … has no right or reason to exist unless they are in Relentless Pursuit of Excellence. One earns the right—one damn day and client experience at a time!—to beat the Big Guys in your chosen niche!)

Furniture vs. Dreams “We do not sell ‘furniture’ at Domain.   We sell dreams .   This is accomplished by addressing the half-formed needs in our customers’ heads. By uncovering these needs, we, in essence, fill in the blanks.   We convert ‘needs’ into ‘dreams.’ Sales are the inevitable result.”   — Judy George, Domain Home Fashions
Design it !
“ We don’t have a good language to talk about this kind of thing. In most people’s vocabularies, design means veneer. … But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design.  Design is the  fundamental   soul   of a man-made creation.” Steve Jobs
“ With its carefully conceived mix of colors and textures, aromas and music,  Starbucks   is more indicative of our era than the iMac. It is to the Age of Aesthetics what McDonald’s was to the Age of Convenience or Ford was to the Age of Mass Production—the touchstone success story, the exemplar of the aesthetic imperative. …  ‘Every Starbucks store is carefully designed to enhance the quality of everything the customers see, touch, hear, smell or taste,’   writes CEO Howard Schultz.”   —Virginia Postrel,  The Substance of Style: How the Rise of Aesthetic Value Is Remaking Commerce, Culture and Consciousness

These absurdly fast growing, insanely profitable “retailers,” rewriting the rules of East Coast retail banking, sent me a copy of their booklet, “Traditions.” It explicates their “Wow the Customer Philosophy.” At the end there’s “A Collection of Commerce Lingo.” I won’t define (use your imagination), but simply offer a small sample: “Fans, Not Customers.” “Say YES … 1 to say YES, 2 to say NO.” (A staffer has to get a supervisor’s approval to say “no” to anything.) “Recover!!!

  • 37. “ This is an essay about what it takes to create and sell something remarkable. It is a plea for originality, passion, guts and daring. You can’t be remarkable by following someone else who’s remarkable. One way to figure out a theory is to look at what’s working in the real world and determine what the successes have in common. But what could the Four Seasons and Motel 6 possibly have in common? Or Neiman-Marcus and Wal*Mart? Or Nokia (bringing out new hardware every 30 days or so) and Nintendo (marketing the same Game Boy 14 years in a row)? It’s like trying to drive looking in the rearview mirror. The thing that all these companies have in common is that they have nothing in common . They are outliers. They’re on the fringes. Superfast or superslow. Very exclusive or very cheap. Extremely big or extremely small. The reason it’s so hard to follow the leader is this: The leader is the leader precisely because he did something remarkable. And that remarkable thing is now taken—so it’s no longer remarkable when you decide to do it.” —Seth Godin, Fast Company/02.2003

  • 41. The “Small Guys” Guide: Wallop Wal*Mart16 * Niche-aimed. (Never, ever “all things for all people,” a “mini-Wal*Mart.) * Never attack the monsters head on! (Instead steal niche business and lukewarm customers.) * “ Dramaticall y Different ” (La Difference ... within our community, our industry regionally, etc … is as obvious as the end of one’s nose!) (THIS IS WHERE MOST MIDGETS COME UP SHORT.) * Compete on value/experience/intimacy, not price. (You ain’t gonna beat the behemoths on cost-price in 9.99 out of 10 cases.) * Emotional bond with Clients, Vendors. (BEAT THE BIGGIES ON EMOTION/CONNECTION!!)
  • 42. The “Small Guys” Guide: Wallop Wal*Mart16 * Hands-on, emotional leadership. (“We are a great & cool & intimate & joyful & dramatically different team working to transform our Clients lives via Consistently Incredible Experiences!”) * A community star! (“Sell” local-ness per se. Sell the hell out of it!) * An incredible experience, from the first to last moment—and then in the follow-up! (“These guys are cool! They ‘get’ me! They love me!”) * DESIGN DRIVEN! (“Design” is a premier weapon-in-pursuit-of-the sublime for small-ish enterprises, including the professional services.)
  • 43. The “Small Guys” Guide: Wallop Wal*Mart16 * Employer of choice. (A very cool, well-paid place to work/learning and growth experience in at least the short term … marked by notably progressive policies.) (THIS IS EMINENTLY DO-ABLE!!) * Sophisticated use of information technology . (Small-“ish” is no excuse for “small aims”/execution in IS/IT!) * Web-power! (The Web can make very small very big … if the product-service is super-cool and one purposefully masters buzz/viral marketing.) * Innovative! (Must keep renewing and expanding and revising and re-imagining “the promise” to employees, the customer, the community.)
  • 44. The “Small Guys” Guide: Wallop Wal*Mart16 * Brand-Lovemark* (*Kevin Roberts) Maniacs ! (“Branding” is not just for big folks with big budgets. And modest size is actually a Big Advantage in becoming a local-regional-niche “lovemark.”) * Focus on women-as-clients. (Most don’t. How stupid.) * Excellence! (A small player … per me … has no right or reason to exist unless they are in Relentless Pursuit of Excellence. One earns the right—one damn day and client experience at a time!—to beat the Big Guys in your chosen niche!)

  • 56. Furniture vs. Dreams “We do not sell ‘furniture’ at Domain. We sell dreams . This is accomplished by addressing the half-formed needs in our customers’ heads. By uncovering these needs, we, in essence, fill in the blanks. We convert ‘needs’ into ‘dreams.’ Sales are the inevitable result.” — Judy George, Domain Home Fashions
  • 58. “ We don’t have a good language to talk about this kind of thing. In most people’s vocabularies, design means veneer. … But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation.” Steve Jobs
  • 59. “ With its carefully conceived mix of colors and textures, aromas and music, Starbucks is more indicative of our era than the iMac. It is to the Age of Aesthetics what McDonald’s was to the Age of Convenience or Ford was to the Age of Mass Production—the touchstone success story, the exemplar of the aesthetic imperative. … ‘Every Starbucks store is carefully designed to enhance the quality of everything the customers see, touch, hear, smell or taste,’ writes CEO Howard Schultz.” —Virginia Postrel, The Substance of Style: How the Rise of Aesthetic Value Is Remaking Commerce, Culture and Consciousness
