The Books:
- Word of Mouth Marketing by Andy Sernovitz
How Smart Companies Get People Talking – This is a book filled with great ideas to get people talking about your business or your product/service. It drills down to the basics and… goodness knows that many of us need to know the basics. I would highly recommend this book for business people who want to empower their business networking by creating strategic word of mouth! - Your Attention Please by Paul B. Brown and Alison Davis
How to appeal to today’s distracted, disinterested, disengaged, disenchanted, and busy audiences. Another great book for figuring out how to get your message across in a crowded and frenzied world filled with too many messages and too much noise. I have flagged about 40 pages in this book for ideas to go back and read again. - the power of kindness by Piero Ferrucci
This book is so full of warm and fuzzy ideas that it really gets you thinking about how basic and easy it is to be kind … when we can let our egos step aside and let empathy and compassion rule our brains. A must read for everyone on the planet.Here is the quote from page 123 of Word of Mouth Marketing:
(These great email tricks are also worth a try) Tell reader NOT to forward the message. Works every time. My most-forwarded messages all start with the phrase “PRIVATE: DO NOT FORWARD.”
