Once you’re delegated to human resources or other places in the bowels of the organization, you’re unlikely to get back to the true buyer. Avoid this with intelligent argument: “This is a strategic (leadership) decision, and you and I should decide and agree on what is to be accomplished and only then we can involved others and their inputs on how best to do it. We have to present them with the goal, not allow them to set the goal.”

On Fisherman’s Wharf, there’s one restaurant after another. Is that a smart place to open a business, right next to all the others? At the bookstore, there are tens of thousands of books, each competing to find a reader. The thing is, books are impossible to sell when there aren’t a lot of books around. They don’t sell many books at Macy’s. The biggest competitor most marketers face is “none.” ” Inaction always has the biggest market share of all.
