Saul Colt gave a presentation on how to earn word of mouth attention with little to no budget. He discussed lessons from Dick Shawn and explained that opportunities are everywhere. Some strategies he recommended included living the life of customers, doing interesting things through barter, dead inventory, emotions, and customers. He emphasized including customers, keeping eyes open for opportunities, and living the 4 E's - Execute Extraordinary Experiences Everyday.
It is often debated if marketing is an art or a science. The truth is that it's both. Great marketing is a blend of strategy and ideas. In this talk Saul Colt (of Xero.com) will go over both and set you on your way to being successful in finding the first 1000 customers for your small business or startup.

The Age of Conversation book idea began has a dare between two bloggers. This dare quickly involved over 100 social media champions, each submitting a short essay to encourage businesses to enter the Age of Conversation. That was the first edition in 2007.
Now, in 2008, the second edition involves over 230 social media champions sharing essays challenging still-reluctant businesses to enter the Age of Conversation.

everything I needed to know about innovation, I learned by drawing cartoonstomfishburne
I talk about cartooning as a metaphor for innovation. Launching a new product in a crowded marketplace has a lot in common with launching a cartoon. I cover the process of coming up with remarkable ideas and then sharing them with others so that the end result doesn't suffer the "death of a thousand cuts." Includes quotes from Bill Watterson and Matt Groening.

Congratulations Graduate! Eleven Reasons Why I Will Never Hire You.Mark O'Toole
Over the past 20 years, I’ve been in hiring roles and have received thousands of resumes from new college graduates. I’ve interviewed many for real jobs and done my share of informational interviews. Sometimes I’ve hired people into entry-level positions. More often though, I haven’t.
Those who did not get the job were sometimes just not the right fit. Other times, they were trumped by a more impressive candidate or victim to some other random event mostly out of their control.
Too many had the background to make the cut or at least garner a second interview. But disastrous interviewing skills brought you down.
Here are my top reasons why I will never hire you.
The Science of Story: How Brands Can Use Storytelling To Get More CustomersDigital Surgeons
Storytelling is not only an entertaining source for information, but a way to engage and humanize our messages that helps them stick. Our brains are wired for stories. Like a drug, we seek them out. Good stories create lasting emotional connections that persuade, educate, entertain, and convert consumers into brand loyalists.
Here’s another good reason to believe in the power of stories: You don't have a goddamn choice. We spend a third of our waking hours crafting stories, and the rest of the time consuming them. Our brains are always searching for stories. You need stories. You live your life around stories. Your life itself is a story. So, now find out how you can use them to better understand how brands and businesses can use storytelling to increase engagement and sales.
This deck was made to share with junior planners and planning trainees at our agency to give them some sort of structure to what appears to be a hard nut to crack: writing The Strategy.
Have you never asked yourself: "How to be successful ?"
The answer seems to be quite difficult, but here are thoughts of Sam Altman, the chairman of Y Combinator.
A quick read:
Compound yourself, Have almost too much self-belief, Learn to think independently, Get good at “sales”, Make it easy to take risks, Focus, Work hard, Be bold, Be willful, Be hard to compete with, Build a network, You get rich by owning things, Be internally driven...
However, don't forget that "everything here is easier to do once you’ve already reached a baseline degree of success (through privilege or effort) and want to put in the work to turn that into outlier success".
Here is a great share for founders, investors, and people who want to achieve outlier success.

San Francisco Bay area-based writer and creative director Tom Lucente shares important lessons learned from a successful copywriting career. These eight "notes" can help young creatives (and not so young) succeed in this increasingly challenging business.

Beyond the Press Release: Everyday Storytelling and Your BusinessMadeleine Hinchy
In May 2013, I was asked by &company to speak at Vivid Ideas 2013 as part of their day-long event 'Design Your Day Job'.
I presented this presentation on content marketing, the role of storytelling in business and how creative professionals can learn to tell their story better to customers, clients, the media and others.
-----
Organised by &company and part of Vivid Ideas program, 'Design Your Day Job' explored how designers and creative professionals can run successful enterprises.
The premise was that designers can learn from people outside of the design industry who have turned their passion, ideas and creative skills into a business.
The event featured successful entrepreneurs and organisations from design, food, collaborative consumption, social enterprises and more. It explored business basics and new ways to approach customers, promotion and sales, whilst upholding the integrity of creative work.
Bree James, founder of Grand Publishing and Andrew Griffiths, Small Business author, hit the road in North Queensland to talk about "Old School Marketing" in a 2 hour workshop. This is the presentation from that workshop.
You will learn what you need to avoid so that your presentation will be a block buster and investors or customers will be thrilled BUYING and not being bored to death.
That ensures that your presentation will be as famous as the Pyramids of Giza.
I edited a Tom Peters sales slide deck to shorten it and emphasize what I present on. Need a sales trainer for your cable or phone company? Give our office a call! http://rad-info.net

1. Saul Colt, Head of Magic – Saul! Yorkville Media Centre - July20th, 2010 Clever Presentation Title! How to earn serious Word of Mouth With little or no budget
2. I was told to remove the first two slides because they were unnecessary.
3. … but that is going to make the third slide harder to understand…but here goes.
18. By promoting your customers you are forming a real connection and with that connection you will empower your customers to talk about your company and indirectly you have a highly passionate sales force!
19. The more connected you are with your customers the better you will know what they want, like…
20. … the more you will try to not disappoint them . (with a WOM initiative that is a huge miss)
23. These types of activities will help build your brand and start lots of conversations, and when it is all said and done those are the only things a competitor can’t steal!
