Flip the Funnel
by Joseph JaffeWhy customer retention is the new acquisitionIf there's anything the recession of 2009 taught us, it was the importance of investing in our customers, but when was this any different? So says Joseph Jaffe, bestselling author of Life After the 30-Second Spot and Join the Conversation, and a leading expert and thought leader on new media and social media. In most businesses, it costs roughly five-to-ten times more to acquire a new customer than it does to retain an existing one, and yet companies continue to disproportionately spend their budgets into the "wrong" end of the funnel - the mass media or awareness side.What we haven't paid enough attention to is the "right" end of the funnel-the word-of-mouth component that essentially acts as a multiplier for future business. The economic impact of an active, engaged and loyal customer is tremendous.And the same is true of the opposite scenario, namely the impact of angry customers and negative word-of-mouth or referrals. It is this thinking that Jaffe has channeled to challenge marketers to "flip the funnel" once and for all. With a renewed focus and energy on customer experience, it is possible to grow your sales, while decreasing your budget - in other words, getting more from less. Engaging a few customers to spread the word to many.Using this new "flipped funnel" model, together with a set of new rules of customer service and a revolutionary customer referral and activation process, you'll learn how to transform your existing customers into your best salespeople. In addition, Jaffe will explain how to best introduce and combine both digital and social media tools to boost your loyalty arsenal, deploy "influencer marketing" and implement word-of-mouth strategies that inspire your loyal, opinionated, and most vocal customers to become credible, persuasive, and influential endorsers of your products and services.Explains how to cut your marketing budget AND grow sales!Illustrates practical ways to use existing customers to reach out to new prospectsOutlines the authentic role of social mediaDemonstrates key ideas with rich, real life examples including Comcast, Apple, The Obama Campaign, Dell, Panasonic, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Johnson & Johnson, Coca-Cola and many, many moreWritten by one of the most sought-after consultants, keynote speakers, and thought-leaders on new marketing change and innovation; renowned blogger and podcaster at Jaffe Juice (www.jaffejuice.com) and host/presenter of web video show, JaffeJuiceTV (www.jaffejuice.tv)Visit www.flipthefunnelnow.com to join the conversation.

You just have to learn to flip the script. Few executives in media today are as well respected for their ability to turn a business or situation around as Bill Wackermann. As a leading executive in the publishing industry he is esteemed for his powerful combination of business ingenuity and innovative branding. The New York Times has heralded his work, stating, "Mr. Wackermann is becoming known for the offbeat campaigns he creates," and Fashion Daily called him "Times Square's turnaround artist." His simple approach to this kind of transformation transcends the publishing industry, impacting the worlds of entertainment, fashion, and art. Here, in his hip lifestyle guide, he shows how to turn negative situations around and how to create new opportunities for business and personal growth. Through helpful tips and engaging stories, Wackermann empowers readers to embrace self-knowledge and be confident of their individual talents. With great energy and enthusiasm, he presents a clear and clever program for how people can turn their lives around, essentially discovering how to "flip the script" by identifying prospects where none existed and rewriting their personal stories for the better. He encourages readers to think of ways to turn every problem or situation around to their benefit.

The advice in many of the books tended to be either too scholarly or too complicated to incorporate into real life. The lack of a better-grounded, reality-based approach to guiding others to success inspired me to think about my own experiences. My success in life and business has come in the absence of any extraordinary opportunity or vision. Mine is a journey from a family of six children who struggled monthly to make ends meet to a career in one of publishing's glittering ivory towers. From New York to Paris, from the world of fashion and beauty to the back lots of Hollywood, my success has come from "flipping the script" and creating opportunities where none existed. Flipping the script is my unique approach to turning tables and gaining control. -- from Flip the Script
Flip the Script: Getting People to Think Your Idea Is Their Idea
by Oren KlaffTHE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF PITCH ANYTHING IS BACK TO FLIP YOUR ENTIRE APPROACH TO PERSUASION.Is there anything worse than a high-pressure salesperson pushing you to say "yes" (then sign on the dotted line) before you're ready?If there's one lesson Oren Klaff has learned over decades of pitching, presenting, and closing long-shot, high-stakes deals, it's that people are sick of being marketed and sold to. Most of all, they hate being told what to think. The more you push them, the more they resist.What people love, however, is coming up with a great idea on their own, even if it's the idea you were guiding them to have all along. Often, the only way to get someone to sign is to make them feel like they're smarter than you.That's why Oren is throwing out the old playbook on persuasion. Instead, he'll show you a new approach that works on this simple insight: Everyone trusts their own ideas. If, rather than pushing your idea on your buyer, you can guide them to discover it on their own, they'll believe it, trust it, and get excited about it. Then they'll buy in and feel good about the chance to work with you.That might sound easier said than done, but Oren has taught thousands of people how to do it with a series of simple steps that anyone can follow in any situation.And as you'll see in this book, Oren has been in a lot of different situations.He'll show you how he got a billionaire to take him seriously, how he got a venture capital firm to cough up capital, and how he made a skeptical Swiss banker see him as an expert in banking. He'll even show you how to become so compelling that buyers are even more attracted to you than to your product. These days, it's not enough to make a great pitch.To get attention, create trust, and close the deal, you need to flip the script.

FlipchartArt: Ideen für Trainer, Moderatoren und Führungskräfte
by Stefanie Widmann Elke Katharina MeyerFlipcharts, klassisch auf Papier beim Präsenztraining oder auf digitalen Whiteboards für Online- Training, sind ein sympathisches Medium. Je souveräner und gezielter man Flipcharts nutzt, desto präziser und eindringlicher kann man Botschaften damit transportieren, die Teilnehmenden zum Mitmachen motivieren und nachhaltige Trainingserfolge erzielen. Gute Flipcharts zu erstellen ist eine Kunst ? aber man muss nicht unbedingt künstlerisch begabt sein, um sie zu erlernen. Folgt man den Tipps, Tricks und praxisnahen Hinweisen im erfolgreichen Buch FlipchartArt der Trainerinnen Elke Meyer und Stefanie Widmann, können alle, die Trainings geben oder Workshops leiten, mit ein wenig à bung zu Flipchart-Profis werden. Für die fünfte Auflage dieses Klassikers haben die Autorinnen ein Kapitel zum Thema Flipcharts in Online-Trainings hinzugefügt. Gerade wegen der ?erschwerten Bedingungen? aufgrund der naturgemäà geringeren Interaktion der Leitenden und Teilnehmenden untereinander helfen die erprobten Flipchart-Techniken im Blick auf Visualisierung, Verständlichkeit und Präzision bei virtuellen Trainings und Workshops ebenso wie bei klassischen Veranstaltungen im Konferenzraum. Mit mehr als 200 Bildern bietet das Buch eine Fülle konkreter Beispiele zur Gestaltung von Flipcharts und eine Palette von Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten, aus denen jeder Anwender mit wenig Aufwand seinen individuellen Stil ableiten kann. Auà erdem stellt es einen Katalog mit Symbolen zu Verfügung, die jeder für sich modifizieren und einsetzen kann.
