The world has quickly moved into the digital sphere. Disrupt or Die is the new mantra. Digital realm is engulfing the mankind in every aspect of our lives. As per John Chambers, former Executive Chairman of Cisco systems, “At least 40% of all businesses will die in the next 10 years… if they don’t figure out how to change their entire company to accommodate new technologies.”

Digital marketing is one such technology that you need to get comfortable with in order to accelerate your success and transform your business into 2x or 5x growth machine.

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.

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.

Stacey Hanke

Do you feel confident you’re a leader with influence? You may be surprised to discover you’re not as influential as you think you are.

Your team is only as strong as your influence, and many leaders today are mistaken about what it means to be influential. An outdated influence paradigm, along with technological devices and distractions, is making it increasingly challenging for leaders to reach those they need to influence in order to be successful. In fact, many leaders are unwillingly and unknowingly sabotaging themselves and their influence.

In her thought-provoking Influence Redefined, Stacey Hanke introduces her powerful Influence Model, a step-by-step method for improving communication and producing the ideal type of influence—one that moves people to action long after an interaction is over. She dispels the most common influence myths and instructs leaders on how to stop sabotaging themselves in order to leave a positive, lasting impression.

Using a results-based definition of influence for individuals and organizations, Hanke successfully shows leaders how they can develop influence as a skill through self-awareness, consistency, a positive reputation, adaptability, and impact.

With insights from dozens of executives and business leaders, as well as practical how-tos and action steps, Influence Redefined will help leaders multiply and expand their influence every day, Monday to Monday®.
Through Stacey Hanke, Inc., the author has provided training on communicating with influence to over 15,000 leaders. She is the author of Yes You Can! and has appeared in the New York Times and SmartMoney. Hanke was recognized as one of the National Speakers Association’s ”Top 6 Under 40.”
