Thank you so much for this post Brad, really well thought out and delivers a great message. I think the impact this has had on you is reflected in what you write and makes others think more, not only about their marketing campaign but about others and the plight they face everyday.

Brad,

That woman did not have a marketing degree from Harvard, but she obviously had something a great deal more valuable – a good old dose of plain common sense.

I can relate to your comment on timing, an area where I certainly made one crucial error on one occasion. About six years ago, I was President of the local Toastmasters Club, a public speaking organization. In an effort to promote our club, myself and another member were interviewed on a local radio program. The interview went extremely well, except for one thing – at the time of the interview, our club did not have another meeting for another two weeks. It wasn’t until after the interview that it really hit me that no matter how impressed any listeners might have been, they would more than likely have forgotten about it by the time the next meeting came around.

Never mind – you learn from your mistakes, and you only stumble if you are moving.

George, keep climbing! You can do it! Please let me know what your sister thinks of the book. It was such a fun read.

Hi Meryl,

I’m almost on top of the mountain – when I get there I’ll enjoy having a look at these.

Also, did some Christmas shopping on Amazon this weekend. Got a copy of “You can’t drink all day…” for my sister. Can’t wait for her reaction!

Hi Fred, The best sales people I know have tremendous passion. Marketers, too. Perhaps that is how they overcome fear.

Jenny, It never hurts to see things in perspective, does it? Glad the post helped.

Robin, Excellent points all. Goes to show you don’t need fancy words to get your message across. Speak from the heart.

Great message, Brad.

That woman could have been my mother, my sister. She was someone’s daughter, someone’s friend. She’s one of us – at her best, and at her worst – she’s one of us.

Real or not, she was a persuasive woman with purpose.

In terms of persuasive language, I noticed…

Her politeness: “Please help me.”

Her inclusiveness: “We need…”

Her handling potential objections upfront: “trying to find a job”

Her adding value: “God bless you.”

Her logical rationale: “We need money for food and clothing.”

Excellent example, Brad.

Thanks.

Robin
