(INVEST Big Time time in relationships at all levels & functions.) (Take junior people in all functions to client meetings.)
It’s politics, stupid! (Play or sit on the sidelines.)

Great Salespeople …
8. Never overpromise. (Even if it costs you your job.) 9. Sell only by solving problems-creating profitable opportunities. (“Our product solves these problems, creates these unimagined INCREDIBLE opportunities, and will make you a ton of money—here’s exactly how.”) (IS THIS A “PRODUCT SALE” OR A WOW-ORIGINAL SOLUTION YOU’LL BE DINING OFF 5 YEARS FROM NOW? THAT WILL BE WRITTEN UP IN THE TRADE PRESS?)10. Will involve anybody—including mortal enemies—if it enhances the scope of the problem we can solve and increases the scope of the opportunity we can encompass.11. Know the Brand Story cold; live the Brand Story. (If not, leave.)
Great Salespeople …
12. Think “Turnkey.” (It’s always your problem!)
13. Act as “orchestra conductor”: You are responsible for making the whole-damn-network respond. (PERIOD.)
14. Help the customer get to know the vendor’s organization & build up their Rolodex.15. Walk away from bad business. (Even if it gets you fired.)
16. Understand the idea of a “good loss.” (A bold effort that’s sometimes better than a lousy win.)17. Think those who regularly say “It’s all a price issue” suffer from rampant immaturity & shrunken imagination.18. Will not give away the store to get a foot in the door. 19. Are wary & respectful of upstarts—the real enemy.20. Seek several “cool customers”—who’ll drag you into Tomorrow land.
Great Salespeople …
21. Use the word “partnership” obsessively, even though it is way overused. (“Partnership” includes folks at all levels throughout the supply chain.)22. Send thank you notes by the truckload. (NOT E-NOTES.) (Most are for “little things.”) (50% of those notes are sent to those in our company!) Remember birthdays. Use the word “we.” 23. When you look across the table at the customer, think religiously to yourself: “HOW CAN I MAKE THIS DUDE RICH & FAMOUS & GET HIM-HER PROMOTED?” 24. Great salespeople can affirmatively respond to the query in an HP banner ad: HAVE YOU CHANGED CIVILIZATION TODAY?25. Keep your bloody PowerPoint slides simple!

need is the need to be
appreciated.”William James

The “Soul” of “Experiences”:
Design Rules!
Design’s place in the universe.
All Equal Except …
“At Sony we assume that all products of our competitors have basically the same technology, price,
performance and features. Design is the only thing that
differentiates one product from another in the
marketplace.”Norio Ohga
“Design is treated like a religion at
BMW.”Fortune
“We don’t have a good language to talk about this kind of thing. In most people’s
vocabularies, design means veneer. … But to me, nothing could be further from the
meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul
of a man-made creation.”
Steve Jobs
Bottom Line.
Design “is” … WHAT & WHY I LOVE.
LOVE.
All Time No.1 (TP)
Ziplocs
Westin’s …
Heavenly Bed
Design “is” … WHY I
GET MAD. MAD.
Hotel shampoo bottles on which I can’t read “Shampoo.”
Design is never neutral.
Hypothesis: DESIGN is the principal difference between love and
hate!
Message (?????): Men
cannot design
for women’s needs.
“Perhaps the macho look can be interesting … if you
want to fight dinosaurs. But now to survive you need intelligence,
not power and aggression. Modern intelligence means
intuition—it’s female.”

“Men and women don’t think the same way, don’t communicate the same
way, don’t buy for the same reasons.”
“He simply wants the transaction to take place. She’s interested in
creating a relationship. Every place women go, they make
connections.”
Read This: Barbara & Allan Pease’s
Why Men Don’t Listen & Women Can’t Read Maps
“It is obvious to a woman when another woman is upset, while a man generally has to physically witness
tears or a temper tantrum or be slapped in the face before he even has a clue that anything is going on. Like most female mammals, women are equipped with far more finely tuned
sensory skills than men.” Barbara & Allan Pease, Why Men Don’t Listen & Women Can’t Read Maps
“Resting” State: 30%, 90%: “A woman knows her children’s
friends, hopes, dreams, romances, secret fears, what they are
thinking, how they are feeling. Men are vaguely aware of some short people also living in the house.”
Barbara & Allan Pease, Why Men Don’t Listen & Women Can’t Read Maps
“As a hunter, a man needed vision that would allow him to zero in on targets in the distance … whereas a woman needed eyes
to allow a wide arc of vision so that she could monitor any predators sneaking up on the nest. This is why modern men can find their way effortlessly to a distant pub,
but can never find things in fridges, cupboards or drawers.”
Barbara & Allan Pease, Why Men Don’t Listen & Women Can’t Read Maps
“Female hearing advantage contributes significantly to what is
called ‘women’s intuition’ and is one of the reasons why a woman can read between the lines of what people say. Men, however, shouldn’t despair.
They are excellent at imitating animal sounds.”
Barbara & Allan Pease, Why Men Don’t Listen & Women Can’t Read Maps
Barbara & Allan Pease, Why Men Don’t Listen & Women Can’t Read Maps: Women love to
talk. Men talk silently to themselves. Women think aloud. Women talk, men
feel nagged. Women multitask. Women are indirect. Men are direct. Women talk
emotively, men are literal. Men listen like statues. Boys like things, girls like
people. Boys compete, girls cooperate. Men hate to be wrong. Men hide
their emotions.
“Women speak and hear a language of connection and intimacy, and men
speak and hear a language of status and independence. Men communicate to obtain information, establish their
status, and show independence. Women communicate to create
relationships, encourage interaction, and exchange feelings.”
Judy Rosener, America’s Competitive Secret
“When a woman is upset, she talks emotionally to her friends; but an upset man rebuilds a motor or
fixes a leaking tap.”Barbara & Allan Pease, Why Men Don’t Listen &

EVEolution: Truth No. 1
Connecting Your Female Consumers to Each
Other Connects Them to Your Brand
“The ‘Connection Proclivity’ in women starts early. When asked,
‘How was school today?’ a girl usually tells her mother every
detail of what happened, while a boy might grunt, ‘Fine.’ ”
EVEolution
What If …
“What if ExxonMobil or Shell dipped into their credit card database to help commuting women
interview and make a choice of car pool partners?”
“What if American Express made a concerted effort to connect up female empty-nesters
through on-line and off-line programs, geared to help women re-enter the workforce with today’s
skills?”
EVEolution
The New New Jiffy Lube
“In the male mold, Jiffy Lube was going all out to deliver quick, efficient service. But, in the
female mold, women were being turned off by the ‘let’s get it fixed fast, no conversation
required’ experience.”
New JL: “Control over her environment. Comfort in the service setting. Trust that her car
is being serviced properly. Respect for her intelligence and ability.”

“We believe companies can increase their market cap 50 percent in 3 years. Steve
Macadam at Georgia-Pacific changed 20 of his 40 box plant managers to put
more talented, higher paid managers in charge. He increased profitability from $25 million to $80 million
in 2 years.”
Ed Michaels, War for Talent
Message: Some people are better than other
people. Some people are a helluva lot better than other
people.
“Top performing companies are two to four times more likely
than the rest to pay what it takes to prevent losing
top performers.”

“AS LEADERS, WOMEN RULE: New Studies find that female managers
outshine their male counterparts in almost
every measure”Title, Special Report, Business Week, 11.20.00
Women’s Strengths Match New Economy Imperatives: Link [rather than rank] workers;
favor interactive-collaborative leadership style [empowerment beats top-down decision making]; sustain fruitful collaborations; comfortable with sharing information; see redistribution of power
as victory, not surrender; favor multi-dimensional feedback; value technical & interpersonal skills, individual & group contributions equally; readily accept ambiguity; honor intuition as well as pure
“rationality”; inherently flexible; appreciate cultural diversity.

It all adds up to …
THE
BRAND.
The Heart of Branding …
“WHO ARE WE?”
“Most companies tend to equate branding with the company’s marketing. Design a new marketing
campaign and, voilà, you’re on course. They are wrong. The task is much bigger. It is about fulfilling our potential … not about a new logo, no matter how
clever. WHAT IS MY MISSION IN LIFE? WHAT DO I WANT TO CONVEY TO PEOPLE? HOW DO
I MAKE SURE THAT WHAT I HAVE TO OFFER THE WORLD IS ACTUALLY UNIQUE? The brand has to give of itself, the company has to give of itself, the management has to give of itself. To
put it bluntly, it is a matter of whether – or not – you want to be … UNIQUE … NOW.”
Jesper Kunde, A Unique Moment
“WHAT’S OUR
STORY?”
“We are in the twilight of a society based on data. As information and intelligence become the domain of computers, society will place more value on the one human ability that cannot be automated: emotion.
Imagination, myth, ritual - the language of emotion - will affect everything from our purchasing decisions
to how we work with others. Companies will thrive on the basis of their stories and myths. Companies will need to understand
that their products are less important than their stories.”
Rolf Jensen, Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies
“Apple opposes, IBM solves, Nike exhorts,
Virgin enlightens, Sony dreams, Benetton
protests. … Brands are not nouns but verbs.”
