@ittaBIT27 Ha! For reals!

Funny how jobs requiring MBAs don’t actually produce anything or do any good for society. It’s just manipulating and repackaging the work of others and making money off genuinely talented people.

Consumers aren’t as susceptible to advertisments for products they have no need for. We want our products to be relevent. Focus on what the customer wants.

does it strike anyone else besides me as OBVIOUS that you need to be remarkable to be successful? are all marketers in US mindless drones that can’t think for themselves? oy.

Good advice from Seth. It’s the popularizer of the idea that wins. And it’s not about your company, product or service… it’s about the customer.

Nice presentation. It’s funny that after his speech, the video ends with a typical car commercial – the exact dull example that targets the middle range of customers. Nothing remarkable. Go for the irregular people! We listen.

I’m a big fan of Seth Godins perspectives. Just read Tribes and he hits the nail on the head. The ability to adapt and respond has never been more important than in this hectic warp speed communications era we live in-Cheers Kiaran
