Tuesday, September 30th, 2008Many of my friends and readers with good (720+) ficos have had calls or letters from their credit cards saying that $50gs that was available last night, is no longer. Banks are going after just about the entire market — top tier included — to get back a lot of the money they had on the [...]
The weak sellers die in these times
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008Red Sox Mike reminded me that if you can’t sell in these times, you can’t sell at all. I had a bad Sept. myself but I don’t have any excuses either.
Using the elements of fear and being left out, one can make things happen today on a big sale. After all, there are reasons to [...]
This is an opportunity for a real marketer
Monday, September 29th, 2008If Obama or McCain were led by smart people instead of DC robots that are only specialists in 1980s marketing applied to 21st century reality, one of them would take this time and leverage it to become the next Lincoln, Roosevelt, or Reagan.
Obama should be sleeping on the steps of Congress saying he won’t leave [...]
The debacle is far from over
Monday, September 29th, 2008Tomorrow, the next steps of the financial crises will integrate into the rest of the world’s financial markets. By Wednesday or Thursday, the HH predicts we won’t be able to save it with 100% of votes in Congress. I am predicting a big letdown on the behalf of all Americans and a crises that may [...]

Unfortunately is a bad word
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008When you’ve got bad news, the best way to keep your audience interested is not to condescend or minimize the pain that they might be feeling after your delivery of that news.
Bankers love the phrase “unfortunately”. If anything goes wrong, isn’t going to go your way, they say something so stupid — [...]
Georgia’s President Says It All (or not so much) on Palin
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008Before you go to the polls, view this piece from Brian Williams of NBC. He interviewed Mikhail Saakashvili, the Georgian President. See what he says about Biden and then his dodge of how innane and unprepared Palin is. Of course, it’s not in so many words, but gosh darnit if he doesn’t go as far [...]
