Episode 185: Time To Get Everyone Singing From the Same Song Sheet With a Message Map
5/17/2022
In today’s world, brands are constantly competing to spread their respective messages to millions of global consumers. Any brand hopes to distinguish itself from competitors, breaking through the noise and reaching those consumers with a message that resonates.
The ultimate goal, of course, is to persuade the customer to buy, buy, buy.
And today’s consumers aren’t always the easiest to persuade. According to the 2019 “Edelman Trust Barometer Special Report,” barely one-third of customers...

Episode 183: How To Boost Your Reputation With Today's Buyers
5/3/2022
I’m writing this on what would have been my father’s 92nd birthday (he passed away in 2006). It’s one day that I’ll never forget. It brings up all kinds of bittersweet memories.
Oddly enough, it also reminds me of just how much shopping has changed. When I was growing up, my frugal father would spend at least a month looking for a new car, driving to every Ford or Chevrolet dealership in the state, talking to dozens of salespeople and deciding whether he liked and trusted them — all in...

Episode 181: Compassion and Empathy: How Covid-19 Changed Communication Forever
4/19/2022
Over the last two years, our entire system of communications changed. (Yes, it’s been two years since the onset of the pandemic.)
In-person, face-to-face interaction seems to have largely become a relic of the past—personally and in business. Zoom calls, emails and phone calls have taken over. Even when we do see others in person, face masks present a literal barrier between people, making it difficult to read facial expressions and gauge how others are feeling.
As human beings, we were...

Episode 178: Mean It When You Ask Someone ‘How Are You?’
3/29/2022
I recently dislocated my shoulder while skiing. If you’ve had this happen to you before, you know that it’s about as painful as any injury can be. Not only is the injury itself painful, but it also brought my own ski season to a halt, which isn’t that long for starters. As a Mainer, skiing has always been one of my favorite activities, so any obstacle barring me from the slopes is a major bummer. Plus, you can’t ride the Peloton or attend Pure Barre classes with a dislocated shoulder. But...
