Conquering Misperceptions Crafting New Realities
Good News and Bad News
First, the BAD NEWS
If you are in the business of printed telephone directories, you are going to be out of business
EVERYONE   ( outside of the industry)  agrees that  printed directories  are  going to die
They only disagree  on the timing
Now the good news
 
I mean the  other  good news
If you are in the business of  connecting customers
Your services will  always  be needed
Perception Is Not Reality
Perception  DRIVES  Reality
The expectation that print is dying is accelerating the final outcome
 
I’ll believe it  when I  _   _   _  it
WRONG!
I’ll believe it  when I  believe  it
Customers doubt your claims
They are confused by your “facts”
Help them convince themselves
Share Stories of Others Being Successful
Tell  Your  Story
Good News from the Future
This survives but in a new form
 
 
 
Live Long and Prosper
Arousing Developments in Advertising
Risk Shifting
In the good old days, advertisers bore all the risk
If ads didn’t work, their only recourse was to quit advertising
You could count on delivery,  but not engagement
Pay-Per-Click is a guarantee of engagement
Pay-per-call is even more engagement
Groupon Flipped the Model
Rather than ask for advertising dollars,   Groupon delivers a check  and an audience  FIRST
The world has changed. Deal with it.
Look Where It’s Going
The best way to look into the future is to look into the past
