    485 The Customer Copernicus by Charlie Dawson

    485 The Customer Copernicus by Charlie Dawson

    The Customer Copernicus: How to be Customer-Led by Charlie Dawson and Seán Meehan
    ABOUT THE BOOK:
    Some companies are great for customers – they care and change whole markets to work better for the customers they serve.
    Think of Amazon, easyJet and Sky. They make things easier and improve what matters – obvious, surely?
    They have also enjoyed huge business success, growing and making plenty of money.
    The Customer Copernicus answers the following question: if it’s obvious and attractive, why is it so rare?
    And then it answers a second question because Tesco, O2, and Wells Fargo were like this once. Why, having mastered it, would you ever stop?
    Because all three did, and two ended up in court.
    The Customer Copernicus explains how to become and how to stay customer-led.
    Essential reading for leaders and teams who want their organizations to stay competitive by developing a more purposeful and innovative culture.
    ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
    Charlie Dawson is the founder of The Foundation, a London-based consultancy established in 1999 to help organizations become customer-led to generate more decisive and sustained commercial success. He started his career in advertising.
    And, interesting fact - he earned an engineering degree from The University of Cambridge!

    484 The Unsold Mindset by Colin Coggins and Garrett Brown

    484 The Unsold Mindset by Colin Coggins and Garrett Brown

    The Unsold Mindset: Redefining What It Means to Sell by Colin Coggins & Garrett Brown
    ABOUT THE BOOK:
    This Wall Street Journal bestseller is captivating readers of Adam Grant, Dan Pink, and James Clear and has been called "a life-changing book as much about life as it is about selling."
    What if the greatest salespeople on the planet are the opposite of who you think they are?
     
    Everyone sells, every day. It's why the most successful people are so good at selling themselves, their ideas, or their products.
    Yet when people hear the word "sales" they think of some version of the overly confident, manipulative, "don't-take-no-for-an-answer" stereotype. 
    Because of these misperceptions, when they find themselves in a situation where they need to sell, they feel compelled to put on the persona of a "good salesperson." 
    But there's a disconnect between who we think good salespeople are and who they actually are. In any room, they're not the most self-confident, they're the most self-aware.
    They're not the most sociable, they're the most socially aware. And they don't succeed despite obstacles, they succeed because of obstacles.
     
    Colin Coggins & Garrett Brown sought out some of the most successful people from all walks of life, including CEOs, entrepreneurs, doctors, trial lawyers, professional athletes, agents, military leaders, artists, engineers, and countless others in between in hopes of understanding why they're so extraordinary. 
    They found that as different as all these incredible people were, they all had an eerily similar approach to selling. It didn't matter if they were perceived as optimists or pessimists, logical or emotional, introverted or extraverted, jovial or stoic - they were all unsold on what it meant to sell and unsold on who people expected them to be.
     
    The Unsold Mindset reveals a counterintuitive approach to not just selling, but life. 
    This book is not about "building rapport," "objection handling," or "trial closes." It's a journey toward an entirely new mindset — because the greatest sellers on the planet aren't successful because of what they do, they're successful because of what they think.
     
    Being a good person and a good salesperson aren't mutually exclusive. The Unsold Mindset will change the way you think about selling and the way you think about yourself.
    ABOUT THE AUTHORS:
    Colin Coggins and Garrett Brown are long-time sales leaders, practitioners, teachers, and best friends. They met at software startup Bitium, which they helped lead to an acquisition by Google. 
    They teach the popular course they created, "Sales Mindset for Entrepreneurs," at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business.
    They are also investors, corporate advisors, and co-founders of Agency18, a firm that helps mission-driven companies adopt the Unsold Mindset. 
    Sought after as keynote speakers and guest lecturers, they love connecting with audiences from diverse industries, professions, and backgrounds and showing them that it's possible to successfully sell without being someone you're not.

    483 Immersion by Paul Zak

    483 Immersion by Paul Zak

    Immersion: The Science of the Extraordinary and the Source of Happiness by Paul Zak
    ABOUT THE BOOK:
    No one raves about boring movies, bland customer service experiences, or sleep-inducing classes. 
    The world is rapidly transforming into an experience economy as people increasingly crave extraordinary experiences.
    Experience designers, marketers, entertainment producers, and retailers have long sought to fill this craving. 
    Now, there’s a scientific formula to consistently create extraordinary experiences. 
    The data shows that those who use this formula increase the impact of experiences tenfold.
    Creating the extraordinary used to be extraordinarily hard. Immersion offers a framework for transforming nearly any situation from ordinary to extraordinary. 
    Based on twenty years of neuroscience research from his lab and innumerable client applications, Dr. Paul J. Zak explains why brains crave the extraordinary. 
    Clear instructions and examples show readers exactly how to create amazing experiences for customers, prospects, employees, audiences, and learners.
    You can guess if your experience will be extraordinary—or you can apply the insights from Immersion to ensure it is.
    ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
    Dr. Paul J. Zak is a Professor of economics, psychology, and management at Claremont Graduate University and is one of the most cited scientists with over 200 published papers and more than 20,000 citations to his research. 
    Paul’s two decades of research have taken him from the Pentagon to Fortune 50 boardrooms to the rainforest of Papua New Guinea. 
    Along the way, he helped start several interdisciplinary fields including neuroeconomics, neuromanagement, and neuromarketing. 
    His other books include Trust Factor: The Science of Creating High-Performance Companies and The Moral Molecule: How Trust Works.
    Paul is also a four-time tech entrepreneur; his current company, Immersion Neuroscience, is a software platform that allows anyone to measure what the brain loves in real time to improve outcomes in entertainment, education and training, advertising, and live events. 
    He frequently appears in the media in such places as Good Morning America, Dr. Phil, Fox & Friends, ABC Evening News, and his work has been reported in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Time, The Economist, Scientific American, Fast Company, Forbes and many other publications.
    And interesting facts – he met his wife on a flight from Cincinnati to LA, he served as a relationship expert on the Dr Phil show and ABC’s hit TV show The Bachelor, and he created a Valentine's Day experiment for NBC's Today Show!

The host of the Marketing Book Podcast is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but his guests are! Actually Douglas is great, 1 of the best hosts in podcast land, I just know he can take a joke!

Fun AND Useful Podcast about Marketing Books

Douglas really gets to know the material (the books) and the authors themselves and it shows in his interviews. His interviews are fresh, fun, and full of useful information. It’s nice that he reads short snippets of the books so that you can get a sense of the source material, but then he asks great follow up questions about that material, so that the author can go deeper, which is where things usually get really interesting. Highly recommend.
