Holiday Greetings from Mandossian Family

By Alex Mandossian

During the third week in December each year, I send out a holiday video message that stars our son, Gabriel and daughter, Breanna.

The ONE this year is my absolute favorite. It was inspired by a life-lesson statement from Reginald Poitier, father of actor Sidney Poitier.

Turn-up your speakers and click: www.HolidayGreetings2008.com

When you’re done watching it, post your comment so my kids can read it and feel free to forward this message to another dad.

Happy Holidays!

Here’s Why “Progress” Exceeds “Perfection”

By Alex Mandossian

In this video I argue why “Sloppy success is always better than perfect mediocrity.” Wouldn’t you agree?

Dan Sullivan of Strategic Coach often says: “Choose progress, not perfection.” I encourage you to take Dan’s advice (in the New Year) and watch my video (below), so you too can become more productive faster, better and with less effort.

Watch this video and then please post your comment.

What To Do Now: Think of ONE project you’ve wanted to start – or finish – during the past year, but your perfectionism has crippled and even paralyzed your progress.

Whenever you find yourself paralyzed in a perfectionist moment, remind yourself why “Sloppy success is better than perfect mediocrity.

Here’s what I have written on my PC’s screen saver that assists me to blasts through my perfectionist moments … it’s a declarative quote I once heard from Tony Robbins: “If I can’t, I must.”

Blogging and Tweeting – A Natural Combination

By Cathy Perkins

You have your WordPress blog – don’t you? If not, you should. Now let’s hook up your blog to Twitter. What’s Twitter, you ask?

Tweets are short little posts commenting on what you are doing right now. The key to using Twitter effectively is participation. You must listen as well as speak. The more you listen and respond, the more people will ‘follow you’.

When you tweet, your message is broadcast to everyone who is following you. If your ‘tweet’ is interesting, your followers will want to see what you are all about and will click over to your blog and have the opportunity to opt-in.

The more you interact, the more people will interact with you. So, go over to Twitter and set up an account. Search for people you know and start following them. Start ‘tweeting’ and watch what happens!

NOW let’s connect your blog and Twitter. Get the WordPress plugin TwitterTools. This plugin allows you to create a tweet from every new blog post – automagically!

Want to know the real secret? Don’t stop at Twitter Tools. Go back to Twitter later and tweet about your blog post. Double the value of Twitter Tools AND your blog.

Why Marketing Growth Is No “Happy Accident”

By Alex Mandossian

Modern research into a 40-year study (started back to 1971) concludes that “happiness is contageous” (the full story is in Yahoo News).

The same U.K. research team that recently reported how obesity and smoking spreads in networks, now also concludes that the more happy people you know, the more likely you yourself will be happy.

Duh … right?

But please continue reading because I think you’ll discover that finding and focusing on the happy people on your marketing team will create more growth for your business in 2009.

Marci Shimoff reported a similar conclusion during our 65-minute Virtual Book Tour for her runaway best-selling book, Happy For No Reason

Prospect Pulling Power Utilizing Teleseminars

By Jeff Herring

Let’s take a look at the powerful combination of article marketing and teleseminars, and the time your average prospect spends on each.

Web Page = 30 seconds.

When somebody comes to your website, that’s about all you have to get them involved in some way, and I’m being very, very generous when I say 30 seconds. Some studies say only 7 seconds.

Think about all the work that goes into a website, and you’re doing all that work for 30 seconds.

That’s a lot of work for 30 seconds.

Article = 5 minutes

One of the reasons why article marketing is so powerful is [Read more…]

The 3 “Marketing Paradoxes” Explained (Part 3)

By Alex Mandossian

In Part 1 of this Marketing Paradoxes three part series, you learned about the Paradox of Distribution which I defined as follows:

“You can’t get adequate distribution of a product until you’ve proven it can sell; but you can’t prove a product can sell until you’ve gotten adequate distribution in the market.”

In Part 2, you learned about the Paradox of Choice which I defined as:

“The more choices you have, the more paralyzed you become as a result of your inability to make clear buying decisions. The more indecisive you become, the less freedom you have in making buying decisions.”

In Part 3 (what you’re reading now), you’re about to discover [Read more…]

By Alex Mandossian

In Part 1 of this Marketing Paradoxes three part series, you learned about the Paradox of Distribution which I defined as follows:

“You can’t get adequate distribution of a product until you’ve proven it can sell; but, you can’t prove a product can sell until you’ve gotten adequate distribution in the market.”

The second Marketing Paradox I want to delineate here is what’s known as the Paradox of Choice.

In fact, it’s the actual title of a ground-breaking book that belongs in every marketing library called, The Paradox of Choice – Why More Is Less by best-selling author and social psychologist, Barry Schwartz.

Paradox #2: The Paradox of Choice

I define this paradox from a marketer’s perspective as: [Read more…]
