Learning a Simple Lesson from an Alzheimer's Patient
My mother has Alzheimer’s. She’s been in a nursing facility since February of 2005, and she’s more or less bed ridden. One of the many negative effects of Alzheimer’s is rapid memory loss to the point family members’ names are forgotten and some members get forgotten altogether. Another symptom is life regression—that

A Good Brand Name Commands a Premium
In the long term, the ailing organisation needs to build a strong brand name as it will help to strengthen the company’s future prosperity. The American Marketing Association defines a brand as a name, term, sign, symbol or design or a combination of them, intended to identify the goods or services of one seller or

Not long ago I was summoned to Jury Duty. Rather than trying to get out of it, I decided to see what the trial attorneys (AKA "Professional Persuaders") could teach me about persuasion.

In a nutshell, it was a civil case – a traffic accident allegedly resulting in an injury.

We spent the entire first day of the trial selecting a jury. The lawyers on both sides asked us question after question to make sure they had "a fair and impartial jury." (Translation: Twelve people they felt they could convince to agree with them.)

I was among the first to be seated, which allowed me to observe the selection process undistracted (except by boredom.) The lawyers wanted to know if prospective jurors knew anyone involved. Plaintiff's attorneys wanted to know if any had prior medical or legal training, or military service. As the defendant was military, those who had served had to promise not to let that experience color their judgment.

The defense attorney wanted to know if we felt it was reasonable to judge whether or not an injury was likely to have occurred by the amount of damage the collision caused. (Read that sentence again if you have to: Several people made him repeat the question before they'd answer.) The one person who said "no" was dismissed.

Not only did that question help the lawyer seat people likely to agree with his argument, it also used the principal of consistency. He knew that once we had publicly stated we agreed with that fact, we'd have an emotional need to stick with that opinion.

Packaging
Packaging is very important for the sale, storage and shipping of supplies. The importance of packaging increased significantly after the Industrial Revolution but its usefulness is not new. Even in the times of yore, clay, glass and leather containers were used for these purposes. In modern times packaging has become a

The Advantages of Logo Golf Balls
Have you ever thought about what trade shows, conventions, meetings and the holidays all have in common? When you’re in a business that requires promoting your company or organization, it means gifts and giveaways to be sure potential customers remember your name, which in turn means finding a unique yet personal item to

Continuing Education Options For Busy Managers
Today’s businesses require regular updating of skills, with global competition and emerging technologies on the rise. With customer demands and expectations also on the high level, businesses require their mangers to have good project management and technical skills.For a business to remain competitive, new projec

Praise Matters
In working with businesses and organizations of all kinds, I repeatedly hear many of the same concerns: How do we increase productivity?How do we improve Customer service?How do we keep people actively engaged in their work and with others on their team?How do we reduce turnover?How do we impr

Application: It seemed like a waste of time to take the entire day choosing the jury. Once we were chosen, (since we couldn't talk about the case yet) it was one of the main things we the jury did discuss on breaks – why it took so long, how boring it was to sit through those questions over and over. And did you see that even the judge seemed to be getting annoyed?

But in reality, it was time well spent, and the attorneys knew it. Getting the right 12 people meant they didn't have to waste their time trying to persuade someone who would never see things their way.

Who you market to is just as important as what you're marketing. It's far more important than a great headline, or even an emotional appeal. If you're using direct mail, spend the extra money to whittle down your list. Choose wisely when it comes to placing print or broadcast ads. It may cost more time and energy up front, but choosing your audience wisely will give you a much greater Return On Investment than just scattering your message to the wind.

Ohio has had some bumpy economic rides in the past as the auto industry has taken hits from Japanese Imports, high steel prices, wars, recessions, NAFTA and now robotics.
