ABOUT
Most companies' marketing explains: feature,
function, benefit; number of years in business; blah, blah, blah.
Explaining is not persuading. Explaining is not telling a story.
When I was a kid I stuttered. As a result I
thought long and hard about everything I said. It made me acutely aware of
how you put words together.
In
college I walked out of a class the first
day knowing I had "come home." The class and later my major: Reasoning, Logic &
Persuasion. I've been an enthusiastic student of the process of human persuasion ever since.
Later I discovered a passion for another process: how companies grow. I
was amazed: my observations over coffee with customers were often more impactful than
all the expensive computer gear
I was selling them. Humm, I thought, that's weird.
Leaving IBM, an MBA, years in the trenches of small business marketing and 20+
years as a small business marketing consultant. . .and here we are, you and I.
WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
I told you a story. My story. It's what no one else but
me can say.
A story told well builds trust, comfort and
connection. Only then does all that feature, function, benefit stuff means
anything. Besides, do you really think the F-F-B stuff really
differentiates you?

now feels right, you're ready to discover more:
