Editor's Notes

  • #15 Business owners write down all the compeditors in your category. Non business owners will pick two businesses to write down all comoeditors they can think of. I will not ask for their sales volume.
  • #34 Who do you buy from? Why do you buy what you buy from who you buy? Do you know?
  • #38 ----- Meeting Notes (10/12/13 12:50) -----Favorite Character, 3 - 4 Characteristic Traits, And Memorable lines.
  • #54 People buy from people. Each of you were given a fictions situation and you bought from who felt the best. We buy from who we like know, trust & feel the best about be this person in your business and in your advertising and you’ll attract a wealth of customers.
