Marketing to the Entitled Consumer by Dave Frankland

TODAY'S CONSUMERS WANT EVERYTHING. YOU SHOULD GIVE IT TO THEM.

Marketers face a paradox. Consumers expect your brand to know everything about them-who they are, what they want, and why-and to deliver it at the exact moment they need it. But ad saturation and inbox clutter make them resent everything marketers do. In this environment, traditional approaches just won't cut it. Marketing to these entitled consumers demands a new strategy: consumer-first marketing. And this book, featuring a foreword by NFL Hall of Famer Steve Young, is the first to lay out how to do it.

Based on focus groups and surveys with 7,000 consumers, combined with the authors' experience with hundreds of brands, Marketing to the Entitled Consumer shows you everything you need to apply consumer-first marketing in your organization. You'll learn which data to collect-from purchase histories to pollen counts-and how to deploy it consistently across online, mobile, and real-world channels. You'll see how to build consumer connections that cut through the clutter with the three Rs: reciprocal value, relevance, and respectful empathy. You'll even get a roadmap on how to win over your fellow marketers and the rest of your company.

Read the book that the legendary marketing thinker Don Peppers called "a warning shot across the bow of traditional marketing." Then get to work. Your entitled consumers are ready for a new approach...are you?

Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life by Nir Eyal

Click here for show notes!

https://www.salesartillery.com/marketing-book-podcast/indistractable-nir-eyal 

You sit down at your desk to work on an important project, but a notification on your phone interrupts your morning. Later, as you’re about to get back to work, a colleague taps you on the shoulder to chat. At home, screens get in the way of quality time with your family. Another day goes by, and once again, your most important personal and professional goals are put on hold.

What would be possible if you followed through on your best intentions? What could you accomplish if you could stay focused and overcome distractions? What if you had the power to become “indistractable?”

International bestselling author, former Stanford lecturer, and behavioral design expert, Nir Eyal, wrote Silicon Valley’s handbook for making technology habit-forming. Five years after publishing Hooked, Eyal reveals distraction’s Achilles’ heel in his groundbreaking new book.

In Indistractable, Eyal reveals the hidden psychology driving us to distraction. He describes why solving the problem is not as simple as swearing off our devices: Abstinence is impractical and often makes us want more.

Eyal lays bare the secret of finally doing what you say you will do with a four-step, research-backed model. Indistractable reveals the key to getting the best out of technology, without letting it get the best of us.

Inside, Eyal overturns conventional wisdom and reveals:

  • Why distraction at work is a symptom of a dysfunctional company culture—and how to fix it
  • What really drives human behavior and why “time management is pain management”
  • Why your relationships (and your sex life) depend on you becoming indistractable
  • How to raise indistractable children in an increasingly distracting world

Empowering and optimistic, Indistractable provides practical, novel techniques to control your time and attention—helping you live the life you really want.

The Innovation Mandate: The Growth Secrets of the Best Organizations in the World by Nicholas Webb

https://www.salesartillery.com/marketing-book-podcast/innovation-mandate-nicholas-webb

In this constantly shifting world, companies must innovate if they want to survive. In clear language, The Innovation Mandate shows leaders a step-by-step process to continually generate great ideas, implement them, and maximize their value to benefit both customers and investors.

In today’s ultra competitive marketplace, the difference between success and failure is innovation. From small entrepreneurial startups to global Fortune 500 companies, innovation—the steady flow of new ideas—drives sustained success. It allows a company to:

  • Introduce new products and services
  • Effectively connect with customers
  • Sharpen the supply chain
  • Efficiently manage finances
  • Hire and retain the best people

Without a steady stream of new ideas, even the best company will slow down, atrophy, lose market share, hemorrhage customers, and eventually close or be sold.

The Innovation Mandate offers a clear and straightforward pathway to profitable innovation. It demystifies the concept, making it easy to understand, implement, and measure. The book centers around three simple concepts:

  • Innovation generates profits;
  • Innovation, in the form of new, profitable ideas, can come from anywhere
  • Identifying, harnessing, evaluating, and implementing these new ideas cannot be left to chance

Additionally, the book offers a five-point checklist to ensure your company is innovation ready.
