Description: Jonah Berger is a marketing professor at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and bestselling author of Contagious: Why Things Catch On andInvisible Influence: The Hidden Forces that Shape Behavior. Dr. Berger has spent over 15 years studying how social influence works and how it drives products and ideas to catch on. He’s published dozens of articles in top-tier academic journals, consulted for a variety of Fortune 500 companies, and popular outlets like the New York Times and Harvard Business Review often cover his work. Show Highlights: Social transmission is any time in which one person’s behavior affects another. @j1berger Social currency – we are more likely to share something the better it makes us look. @j1berger The things we share affect how other people see us. @j1berger As business owners we get people to talk about our product by sharing how talking about our product makes them look good. @j1berger Focus needs to be on the customer or user and how it will make them look. @j1berger Triggers – How can we link ourselves to something in the environment that people think of often. @j1berger Rather than thinking about what technology I’m on, focus on the underlying psychology of “why would someone share my product?” @j1berger Focusing on your customer rather than the company will help you be more successful. @j1berger Today, word of mouth no longer results from a face to face interaction where you can control people’s first impressions. @rory_vaden All the principles of selling offline apply to selling online because they are principles of human communication. @rory_vaden Our philosophy is that selling is not talking people into things they don’t want. It’s bending over backwards to help them decide what is right for them. @rory_vaden Over deliver – Doing what you said you were going to do is merely the price of admission. @rory_vaden Even in an online process you should always survey your customers. @rory_vaden The practices change but the principles never do. @rory_vaden For more information about Jonah Berger and his studies visit jonahberger.com.
