Editor's Notes

  • #23 “If Apple was like everyone else a marketing message might be: We make great computers. They’re user friendly. Want to buy one? …Here’s how Apple actually communicates: everything we do, We believe in challenging the status quo, we believe in thinking differently. The way we challenge the status quo is by making our products beautifully designed, simple to use, and user friendly. We just happen to make great computers. Want to buy one?”“The goal is not to do business with everybody who needs what you have, the goal is to do business with people who believe what you believe.” So start with why instead of what when you are rethinking your marketing strategy, and this flip can change how people think about your company and why they should do business with you. This applies directly to HR and team leadership
