Timothy Ferriss - The 4 Hour Work WeekI just read something about using focus groups to test products for the market that made a whole lot of sense to me. It was in Timothy Ferriss’s book The 4 Hour Work Week. Tim was talking about why focus groups fail to predict the market success of a product.

I have my own particular perspective on this because I participate in focus groups regularly. I have two marketing firms in the Twin Cities that contact me regularly to participate in focus groups. The money is lousy but I always learn something every time I participate.

tafbutton blue16 Low Start Up Cost Business Gets a Dose of Reality

I read a wonderful article in Forbes the other day. It stressed how a proper internal slogan can be a rallying cry for your employees and management. It can also be a targeting center for sub-contractors and vendors to help them stay focused on what’s important to your firm.

entrepreneur cover august 2002 216x300 Entrepreneur Magazine had great recession advice in 2002...I was reading an old copy of Entrepreneur Magazine last night in bed. It was the August 2002 issue (I never throw any sales, business or marketing magazines away).

You may have heard me rant before that your website should be your top 24/7 sales leader. And that’s why I read books and magazines on selling more than I do on marketing or web design. Because what works in sales directly translates to websites.

David Brier - brand marketingDavid Brier gave a branding seminar last night and I dropped in to check it out. Besides, Roshini Rajkumar invited me and you definitely want  a vibrant and dynamic person like Roshini on your side.

Anyway, even though I’m in the marketing biz, there’s always more I can learn. And I did. In fact, I took almost three pages of notes.
