60 Sec: Case Study

September 1, 2010

This week’s question: Here is a question is built around a scenario of a repurchased music store with a limited marketing budget. What 4/5 marketing activities should they focus on?

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

August 26, 2010

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.

KTVB: Personal Branding

July 29, 2010

The above video is a Justin's recent appearance on KTVB's Noon News.  He discusses some of the critical elements of personal branding include:

  • You have to have some actual talent - or be an expert at something.  Without talent or expertise, you can't sustain your personal brand for very long.  Think Johnny Cash v Lady Ga Ga!

  • You must have a core set of values or beliefs - and be willing to express them.  Having an opinion is a differentiator.  People will remember that you stood up for what you believe in.  This doesn't mean being in-your-face or confrontational - it just means being willing to express your opinion.

  • First impressions matter.  This is related to fashion and appearance, but also your language.  Specific to appearance, you need to dress with intent, not just because you are supposed to wear clothes!  It also helps to have a "thing" - a bit of fashion that is memorable. 
Justin provides one-on-one coaching sessions for developing your personal brand.  Let us know if you are interested.
