Download or read book Creating Trust written by Matt Zagula and published by . This book was released on 2011-01-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Trust No One" is the new mantra. Seniors, affluent individuals, business leaders and investors have seen virtually every institution and corporate leader and even the premise of 'homeland security' and government response to emergency prove themselves spectacularly untrustworthy, and are given sensationalized reasons daily by every media to distrust banks, insurers and others on Wall Street, so it is perfectly understandable that they are NOT prepared to trust you, NOT one word you say, NOT any promise you make, NOT any organization or product you represent. The dirty little secret of widespread bank insolvency and thin trading volume is that over a trillion dollars of private "mom 'n pop" capital has been withdrawn from commercial investment and is now mattress-savings...literally, flooding into gold, with the affluent-art and classic cars, with seniors-cash and U.S. Treasuries; and otherwise, parked in places thought safest, without regard to yield. To some extent, this has benefited the annuity and insurance industry. However, any professional advisor or agent seeking to establish new relationships and secure new clients in this environment finds himself severely handicapped, with his chief obstacle - fully understood or not - exceptionally high, exceptionally firm and stubborn distrust. This is reflected in shrinking seminar attendance and rising costs of buying such attendance, declining response to advertising, longer sales cycles, even heightened reluctance by clients to refer, as well as lower initial transactions. THERE ARE EFFECTIVE RESPONSES and strategies, but they are not the same ones that worked nicely, pre-2008. And even before tackling the subject of more appropriate and effective strategies for this time, a new understanding of where the prospective client is at, psychologically and emotionally when you first 'arrive' is essential-and that is where this timely, groundbreaking and frank book, TRUST, begins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative look at social media that dispels the hype and tells you all you need to know about using the Web to expand your business If you listen to the pundits, Internet gurus, marketing consultants, and even the mainstream media, you could think social media was the second coming. When it comes to business, they declare that it's revolutionizing advertising, PR, customer relations—everything. And they all agree: it is here to stay. In this lively, insightful guide, journalist and social critic B.J. Mendelson skillfully debunks the myths of social media. He illustrates how the notion of "social media" first came to prominence, why it has become such a powerful presence in the marketing field, and who stands to benefit each time it's touted in the press. He shows you why all the Facebook friends and Twitter followers in the world mean nothing to you and your business without old-fashioned, real-world connections. He examines popular tales of social media "success," and reveals some unsettling truths behind the surface. And he tells you how to best harness the potential of the Internet—without spending a fortune in the process. Social media is bullshit. This book gives the knowledge and tools you really need to connect with customers and grow your brand.

Download or read book Disrupted written by Dan Lyons and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An instant New York Times bestseller, Dan Lyons' "hysterical" (Recode) memoir, hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "the best book about Silicon Valley," takes readers inside the maddening world of fad-chasing venture capitalists, sales bros, social climbers, and sociopaths at today's tech startups. For twenty-five years Dan Lyons was a magazine writer at the top of his profession--until one Friday morning when he received a phone call: Poof. His job no longer existed. "I think they just want to hire younger people," his boss at Newsweek told him. Fifty years old and with a wife and two young kids, Dan was, in a word, screwed. Then an idea hit. Dan had long reported on Silicon Valley and the tech explosion. Why not join it? HubSpot, a Boston start-up, was flush with $100 million in venture capital. They offered Dan a pile of stock options for the vague role of "marketing fellow." What could go wrong? HubSpotters were true believers: They were making the world a better place ... by selling email spam. The office vibe was frat house meets cult compound: The party began at four thirty on Friday and lasted well into the night; "shower pods" became hook-up dens; a push-up club met at noon in the lobby, while nearby, in the "content factory," Nerf gun fights raged. Groups went on "walking meetings," and Dan's absentee boss sent cryptic emails about employees who had "graduated" (read: been fired). In the middle of all this was Dan, exactly twice the age of the average HubSpot employee, and literally old enough to be the father of most of his co-workers, sitting at his desk on his bouncy-ball "chair."
