Top of Mind Thursday May 18, 2017: Time Flies
LinkedIn nicely informed my contacts this week that it was the 14 year anniversary of the launch of my business.Wow. Time sure does fly.
Some things have changed dramatically. In 2003, we had clam shell cell phones from Samsung and Nokia that handled telephone calls and that was about it. Amazon was still selling mainly books, music, and videos. And if you told people you’d rent out your couch to strangers or hire them for 15 minutes to get you from Point A to Point B, people would have thought you were totally crazy.
Yet, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Brands today are trying to stand out from their competitors as they convince prospects to be customers. There is still too much noise in the marketplace (in fact, there’s more than ever before!), and too many companies who believe if they build a product or service, customers will automatically come.
Today, more than ever, it’s critical to stand out above the noise. Are you being heard in the right places by the right people? If not, give me a call. Or a text. Or a Facebook DM. Or a tweet. Let’s get you on the right track for the next 14 years.

Top of Mind Thursday May 11, 2017: No Laughing Matter?
If nothing else, many actions of the Trump administration have provided plenty of fodder for late-night talk show hosts and other comedians. The recent United Airlines customer-dragging incident has gotten its fair share of attention as well.
Some people are offended by this. But laughter is our way of helping defuse a tense situation.
There are some brands that take their share of ridicule with a good sense of humor. Immediately after the United airline, a tweet was circulated with the Southwest logo saying “We beat the competition. Not you.”
It’s unlikely this was actually created by Southwest, but it reflects the style and tone of what customers believe is the Southwest brand.
Many brands from JetBlue to Pizza Hut to Oreos have jumped in with quick humorous tweets or ads that lighten the mood and make us laugh.
When you take yourself too seriously, not only do you open yourself up to others ridiculing you, you also make us wonder what’s really going on. What are they hiding? Why do they seem to not be able to laugh with us?
Does your company have a healthy sense of humor? Are you prepared to lighten the mood when things get tough?
