About this listen
In this hyper-competitive, globally connected world, how do organizations and individual professionals stand out from the competition and engage their customers?
All Business Is Still Show Business reveals that the secrets and standards of the entertainment industry are exactly what every business in any industry needs to create distinction.
This is not about "fluff", comedy, or being flashy. It's a serious business book about a solid business philosophy that can make the difference for you and your organization.
Fifteen years ago, the original All Business Is Show Business offered a groundbreaking look at how to earn standing ovations from customers and employees in a rapidly changing marketplace. In this new "reboot" from the original edition, we realize that in a time where a former reality television star is now President of the United States - and movies are a significant part of our nation's exports - this principle has never been more applicable, or critical, for organizational and individual success.
You'll learn how the entertainment industry creates a powerful emotional connection with its customers; how they take a product that is not successful and turn it into a blockbuster; how they ensure repeat and referral business - and how you can do the same. From the author of a book named by several major newspapers - including the Miami Herald - as one of the ten best business books of the year, comes new and important insights that will significantly influence and impact you...and your organization. Because All Business Is Still Show Business!

Overthinking isn't a personality trait. It's the sneakiest form of fear. It steals time, creativity, and goals. It's the most expensive, least productive thing companies invest in without even knowing it. And it's an epidemic. When New York Times best-selling author Jon Acuff changed his life by transforming his overthinking, he wondered if other people might benefit from what he discovered. He commissioned a research study to ask 10,000 people if they struggle with overthinking too, and 99.5 percent said, "Yes!"

Fortunately, as entrepreneur and marketer extraordinaire Joe Polish has discovered, there's a simple (though sometimes not easy) way out that begins with one question: "What's in it for them?"

As a result of this customer service revolution, people are being treated differently, better, and in a way like never before. This is a result of how companies and management are treating their employees and how employees are treating each other and the customer - which ultimately permeates into people’s personal lives at home and in their communities.

In The Customer Service Revolution, DiJulius points out how numerous companies have made customer service their biggest competitive advantage, are dominating their industries, and have made price irrelevant. As a result of this customer service revolution, people are being treated differently, better, and in a way like never before. This is a result of how companies and management are treating their employees and how employees are treating each other and the customer - which ultimately permeates into people’s personal lives at home and in their communities.

Three short years ago, when Chris Brogan and Julien Smith wrote their best seller, Trust Agents, being interesting and human on the Web was enough to build a significant audience. But now, everybody has a platform. The problem is that most of them are just making noise. In The Impact Equation, Brogan and Smith show that to make people truly care about what you have to say - you need more than just a good idea, trust among your audience, or a certain number of followers.

As Guy Kawasaki puts it, "If the two most popular words in your company are partner and strategic, and partner has become a verb, and strategic is used to describe decisions and activities that don't make sense"...then it's time for a reality check.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, an intrapreneur, or a not-for-profit leader, there's no shortage of advice on such topics as writing a business plan, recruiting, raising capital, and branding. In fact there are so many books, articles, and websites that many startups get bogged down to the point of paralysis, or they focus on the wrong priorities and go broke before they discover their mistakes.
