This Marketing Secret is as Smart as a Block of Wood

block of wood

Long before Apple and Android turned phones into pocket-sized computers, Palm dominated the mobile device market.

The simple, compact PalmPilot handled four functions: calendars, contacts, memos, and tasks. 

Jeff Hawkins, the product team leader, carried in his pocket a PalmPilot-sized block of wood. 

When other team members suggested new functions beyond the core four, Hawkins pulled the block from his pocket and asked, “Where will it fit?”

Simple and compact. That was Palm’s big idea. And the company dominated the market because it stuck with the big idea. 

That’s a good model for your marketing. 

For your blog posts, emails, social posts and other content…

…focus on one big idea. Stick with it. Don’t clutter it with extra stuff. 

The best, most powerful business stories focus on one big idea. That’s why they get prospects’ attention, keep them tuned in, and inspire them to act. 

Here’s an idea: Sign up for a free training that will show you how to craft and deliver powerful stories to help you grow your business — with less struggle and effort. 

I’ll unveil a masterpiece ad that promotes one big idea. I’ll show you how that ad creates a story-powered super-magnet to: 

Attract Abundant Leads,
Keep Them Tuned in To Your Message,
and Inspire Them To Act Right Now!
