Or, I Don’t Care If You Like it. by Craig Shully http://blog.laughlin.com/2010/10/01/good-reviews-just-aren%e2%80%99t-what-they-used-to-be-or-i-don%e2%80%99t-care-if-you-like-it/comment-page-1/#comment-10713 Craig Shully Tue, 05 Oct 2010 13:18:38 +0000 http://blog.laughlin.com/?p=993#comment-10713 Good column Seems like most shows that succeed, at least for a while, have also been heavily and relentlessly promoted. And, have a memorable name. Never heard of Lonestar. Poor name if you are relying on word of mouth. Does not exactly inspire curiousity, which I find is the problem talking about Breaking Bad. Madmen - perfect name. Sorry Madchicks Good column

And your top sellers qualities are spot on. I've been a media sales person, manager, director, publisher, and now an independent ad sales rep again. Love my work and love, always, trying to be just a little bit better at my work. I wrote a book about my lessons-learned in selling -- "Selling with Heart," it's called. I'm sending you a copy with my best wishes and hopes that if there's something useful for your account and/or media teams as they "sell" to their clients (and bosses), then ... have at it!

That's a great piece you shared. A consistent patient / customer experience can be a phenomenally powerful - though often overlooked - tool.
