Sales and marketing teams are told to fill the funnel, increase revenues, and move the needle on market share—then left to their own devices to penetrate their assigned accounts and prospects.  It’s a gap in many companies’ go-to-market strategies that is easily filled with “Contact Marketing,” a concept introduced by Stu Heinecke, best-selling author of How to Get a Meeting with Anyone.  In the book, Heinecke details twenty categories of Contact Marketing campaign types that have generated response rates as high as 100% and ROI figures in the tens, even hundreds of thousands of percent.  Heinecke, a hall of fame-nominated marketer and one of The Wall Street Journal cartoonists, has used his cartoons for years to break through to presidents, prime ministers, celebrities and countless C-level executives and top decision makers.  Others have used pigeons, social media, research, swords, personalized videos, contact letters run as full-page ads in The Wall Street Journal, media exposure and so much more.  Thousands have reported great leaps in sales productivity from reading How to Get a Meeting with Anyone.  Now it’s your turn to join the movement and expand your scale.

This collection of essays is both timely and timeless. They cut through the clutter of popular jargon and fads in philanthropy to provide a series of thought-provoking and instructive essays of interest to all who do or are contemplating giving money for charitable purposes. Written over time in response to questions which have come from his students, clients, and colleagues in the grant making field, it addresses real issues, respects individual needs and family legacies, and doesn’t shy away from controversial topics. Marker’s experience has taught him that “it may be hard to say ‘no’ graciously, but it is even harder to say ‘yes’ wisely.” Whether you give $25 or $25 million each year, this collection will help any funder be more thoughtful about when, why and how to say ‘yes’ to the abundant requests we all receive.

Sebastian Jespersen & Stan Rapp

A new business model for the digital age is the subject of an innovative book titled “Release the Power of Entangled Marketing” by Stan Rapp, co-founder of the RAPP agency and Sebastian Jespersen, CEO of the Global Vertic Agency. Any company of any size does its utmost to create engaging online content. Something more is needed. We must go beyond mere engagement. The problem is that engagement in the here and now – the next click, “like,” retweet or uploaded video – is easily followed by disengagement in a click-obsessed society. Much more is needed to keep the connection between brand and consumer alive, the kind of enduring, mutually beneficial relationship that delivers robust ROI year-in, year out.

Stan and Sebastian share how they came to realize that pairs of particles in the quantum world, famous for never letting go of one another, are a metaphor for the intertwined brand and customer relationship made possible by unrelenting advances in digital
technology. It’s a closeness 95% of companies fail to achieve. This new route to business supremacy is likely to prove as important in today’s business world as the revelations of quantum theory were to physicists in the past century.
