Never Pursue Again

If your work includes any type of marketing or sales, you'll want to watch Frank Rambauskas Jr.'s video clips on "Never Pursue Again."  This is great stuff. I've done my share of sales and marketing over the years and I know for a fact that what he's teaching here is true. When you chase down sales, you drive them away. There's a delicate balance between letting the prospective customer know you're there and can help them and in that needy gotta-have-you pursuit that drives them away. I particularly enjoyed his "cat theory" which explains this delicate balance and how to know how much is enough. Check it out at http://frankrumbauskas.com/recent.htm

Keeping the Internet Free and Untaxed

Ron Paul Raises $5 Million in 3rd Quarter

As a follow up to my post on July 16th about The Ron Paul Revolution and what every marketer can learn from it, it looks like Internet success IS translating into "real world" success. The candidate raised $5 million dollars last quarter, gaining the attention of the national media. 70% of that was collected online. Reports say funds were collected from individuals dropping $40 on average into the bucket. That's 125,000 individuals who were willing to put their money behind this man and his message. Quite impressive when you consider that most of your high dollar candidates get a large chunk of their funds from big corporations whereas Ron Paul is getting support from individual voters.

Here's an interview with Ron Paul about his recent success. It will be interesting to see how things develop. I don't know about you, but I'd love to see this man and his message in the White House!
