I was lousy at marketing. Well, let’s put it this way: I was (and still am) an outstanding cartoonist. And marketing was nowhere close to being my forte. I’d write, but I’d agonise over it. The only thing that kept me going was the audience. Audiences are needed…and not just for those who are struggling […]

Should You Share Your Philosophy With Your Clients?
If my estimate is right, you should be reading this blog about the exact time I’m speaking in Chicago (at the System Seminar). And my presentation is about ‘How To Increase Prices (Without Losing Customers)’. So what’s philosophy got to do with conversion? And should you put in philosophy into a conversation with clients? That’s […]
The Picasso Principle
There’s a story (true or false, I don’t know) about the famous artist, Pablo Picasso. It seems a woman came up to him and asked him to sketch something on a piece of paper. He sketched it, and gave it back to her saying: “That will cost you $10,000”. She was astounded. “You took just […]

Why You Need To Stop Talking About The Economic Crisis Right Away
Ok, so I goofed. I said ‘economic crisis.’ But listen to me. Stop it. Stop talking about it. Stop talking about it, because bad as it is/will be, everyone is fed up already. Yes, even though I’ve been rambling about the crisis in earlier posts, the time has come to stop it. Because everyone is […]

And how on earth could either of them be ‘good’ activities? Let’s tackle wasting time So I woke up today, and got […]

The $2000 Dilemma
I can’t really recall the date: I think it was Jan 25th 2009. I opened up the newspaper. And there it was: Air New Zealand was offering discounted fares from Auckland to London for just $2000. And in less than 24 hours, they’d sold their pre-arranged quota of 2000 tickets. That’s $4,000,000 in under 24 […]
