60 Sec: Case Study
September 1, 2010
This is our fourteenth video in our “60 Seconds” series. We will be posing a number of questions in this series. We will attempt to answer one question per week in video form. There are two rules for the “60 Seconds” series:
1) Justin has 60 seconds to answer a given question.
2) The video is unscripted. Justin has not seen the question before taping. What you see is raw footage, there is only one take. We do this to keep ourselves down-to-earth and transparent.

Valuology-
by Thomas Golden
The study of value, in particular- the study of value in relation to business applications and the practice of bringing value to your customers, COINs, prospects and employees.
Do you provide value?
Here is how you could provide value...
1. Do you take care of hassles your competitors provide?
2. Do you take extra steps to insure you have the best product/ service?
3. Do you have a developed program so you can listen to your customers and change accordingly?
Here’s how you’ll know if you do…
1. Are your customers delighted in you?
2. Are your customers your best sales people?
3. Are your customers providing valuable feedback?
Notice where the focus is: your customers. It is about them, not you.

Still Trying to Buy Love?
August 23, 2010
In case you missed it, the economy stinks. Yet, you still have stuff to sell and a business to run. You’d think the bad economy would create less noise and confusion in the marketplace, but it has actually made it worse. Companies are desperate to stand out; to be heard. So they over-promote, over-sell, and over-spend on marketing. Sounds fun, huh?
What if there was a different way?
What if you decided not to add to the noise?
What if you decided to earn more love instead of trying to buy attention?
Justin Foster, President and Founder of the branding firm Tricycle, presents a 60 minute discussion that provides the secret to true differentiation: love! In this fun, interactive session, you will learn how to:
- Change the obsolete thinking that causes over-promotion.
- Treat every relationship that touches your brand as unique and different.
- Implement a unique approach to earn new business from existing relationships.
- Attract the right people to your business- customers, employees, and influencers.
- Use the language of love in your marketing and internal communications.
As with all of Justin’s presentations, “You Can’t Buy Love” will be thought provoking and humorous - and give you plenty of ideas you can immediately implement in your company. This isn’t some warm and fuzzy approach to business. “You Can’t Buy Love” reveals how to grow your brand, increase sales, and create a meaningful, relevant presence in the marketplace all without adding to the noise and sacrificing your ethics.
