    Bombed Out With Boomers? Your Package May Be The Problem
    Have you recently introduced a product for the 50+ market that isn't selling? Do you have a good product that you know is marketable, but it simply isn’t moving off the shelves? Your package may be the answer.The first thing that you have to understand is that 70% of all purchasing decisions are made instantaneously at ret
    Recently, I was privileged to be in Mobile, Alabama at the Senior Bowl, where all the great college football players who are graduating seniors come together for their last big game.

    I was asked to come down to conduct leadership training to 900 NFL coaches and scouts. The NFL coaches were there, as they always are, looking at the guys who were finishing college to find out who had the potential to be pro football players.

    While I was there speaking to the coaches, Dom Capers came up to me. For those of you who don't know, Dom coaches the new Houston franchise, and was the coach of the Carolina Panthers for several years. He said, "John, let's do lunch, I want to talk to you about leadership."

    He had an agenda — he wanted to ask me some questions on leadership; but I also had an agenda — I wanted to ask him what it was like to start an expansion team. As the head coach of the expansion Carolina Panthers, he had been so successful that when Houston started their franchise, they said, "We want Dom Capers here."

    Ethics and Business and Government
    So often we hear about dishonesty in ethics in business and government. We hear of Democratic Senators and Congressmen who will not listen to you unless you donate money to their campaigns and this goes for citizens and business people alike. It is no wonder that many business people fund political contributions.It is also no wond

    It's Never Too Early for Customer Service

    Promotional Marketing - Effective Marketing With Waterless Tattoos
    Before waterless tattoos came to market, the only type of temporary tattoo available required water to apply. The concern among parents and marketers is that children were, and still do, use their saliva to apply the water-type temporary tattoos when a clean water supply is unavailable. Waterless tattoos are a great marketing tool becaus

    I sat down with him and said, "Okay, talk to me about Carolina, first of all." I'll never forget. He said, "John, there were some amazing lessons I learned. The good news is, we immediately started winning, but the bad news is, we couldn't sustain that winning."

    I knew that he was getting ready to tell me something that was pure gold, and I looked at Dom and said, "Okay, talk to me about this. Why could you not sustain the winning?" He looked at me and said, "John, we took shortcuts. I went after players who could give me instant success." I think that Carolina went 9 and 7 the first year — they had a winning record. He said, "I went after players who could help me win today, but I didn't develop and I didn't build the team for the long haul."

    "In fact," he said, "I had NFL coaches come to me and say, 'Dom, don't do that. You're winning too fast. You're going to spoil the people in Carolina; they're going to think that this is easier than it really is.'" Then he said, "Here's the blueprint for an expansion team to become a champion: don't go for the quick fix. Build slowly and solidly.
