Key Takeaways  Be Willing to Ask More Questions - Revisit What You Know. Ask the Simple Question - Why? The things that worked 9-10 years ago in Sales and Marketing - work today. Technology amplifies both good and bad behavior. Empathy is not agreeing, it is an ability to feel. Imagine if your customers were saying "we" when they talk about your products. Enable customers to share your content. Market to where customers are today, listen to where they will be tomorrow. It is your job to tell your story. The audience determines what is great. Field of Dreams Marketing is Over. Go to where your customers are. We test, We tweak, and We test again. Stop adding to the noise. Just Start - YOU Have to Start - "Press the Damn Button" - Fanzo Start where you are most comfortable Start curating content Don't just share - share and add value/insight 81% of all internet traffic will be video by the end of next year It takes a lot to get used to talking into your phone - start practicing After you start to get comfortable - then go to where your audience is.
