Author: Warren Fowler Sales teams and marketers focus on digital communication so much that they seem to forget the power of offline promotion channels. While online tools are often more convenient and practical than traditional marketing techniques, the fact remains that the latter usually perform better. For instance, reports reveal that up to 90 percent of direct mails get opened, while emails average 25 percent at best.

Hope you’re enjoying the NFL playoffs. A client and I were talking about that Bear/Eagles game a week ago, and (besides the Bear’s kicker—I do feel bad for him), we were talking about that last scoring drive of the Eagles. How they went for it on 4 th down with 56 seconds left—and scored the winning touchdown. That reminded me of what I was taught when I was new on the phone: that the sale doesn’t start until the fourth or fifth no.

It seems everywhere one looks, one is confronted with incivility. Virtually everything we see in the news–regardless where you live, what your political leanings, it seems our leaders cannot be civil with each other or even to the people they represent. Social media is plagued with incivility. Whether hiding in anonymity, emboldened by not having to deal face to face, every day we experience unspeakable behaviors and actions.

“I don’t care if Google is your customer,” the VP barked. “We’re nothing like them.”. I was in the middle of a hell-storm of a sales call. The conversation had more friction than pink fingernails screeching down a chalkboard. Everything I said irritated the VP. But it wasn’t that way for the entire call. The conversation went south 22 minutes in. Right when I was pouring the “social proof” on thick: telling customer stories and name-dropping a few big customers.

Now, in case for some reason you don’t know, an ‘Angry Bird’ is the clever app game (designed by Finnish company, Rovio) in which birds are hurled – via a sling slot you control – for the purposes of killing (apparently) evil pigs.
