More quotes by Michael J. Silverstein
Own one idea. Complete it. Map the current model of purchase and usage. Change how it is done so at least some part of the market uses only your product. Extend from that core user to a much broader universe. Describe your concept in a very short, six-word story - a la Ernest Hemingway: For sale: baby shoes, never worn.
Michael J. Silverstein
A lot of people believe you only need a vision. This is simply not correct. You need brilliant execution every day. It's about attention to all the details of go to market.
Michael J. Silverstein
I believe in classic ideas. They are timeless. They are forever. There are many fads in management.
Michael J. Silverstein
People underestimate the power of the Internet. For some consumers, it is the source of all information. Younger adults are on their phones more than they watch television. They don't read newspapers. It is their real world. It is not a set of virtual lenses.
Michael J. Silverstein
Take giant leaps. Too many companies are into incremental innovation. The only thing that moves markets is violent turns. Major differences. Don't get caught in the trap of small steps.
Michael J. Silverstein
Too many companies are happy to have workers to dread working. They have the wrong attitude because they have the wrong leadership.

Consumers are time constrained, budget restricted and less loved than they would like. Give them a wonderful experience and they will share it. Capture their soul and win big time.
Michael J. Silverstein
Truth is so difficult to hear about. It must be experienced.

The top 25 at every company really set the tone. Everyone watches them. They need to be present and focused. No slackers at the top. They need to meet in combination every recruit. They need to meet them on the first day. They need to teach by example. This is the lesson that great companies teach.
Michael J. Silverstein
Deliver infinite growth having your customers talk about you, exclaim you and tell their friends and colleagues about you.
Michael J. Silverstein
You need to have sufficient resources against your priorities. Your eyes have to be open every day.
Michael J. Silverstein
Companies that get in trouble have a failure to see two realities: market trends and competitor attacks.
Michael J. Silverstein
For me, it's often about consumption behavior. I focus my energy on understanding the heavy user. They are odd but hold opportunity. I ask: how do they use the product, what motivates them, how can we clone them.
Michael J. Silverstein
A curious mind armed with skill, experience, knowledge, and patterns can give birth to big brand revolution.
Michael J. Silverstein
Transform your employees into passionate disciples. Teach. Create apostles. Give people a calling, not a job.
Michael J. Silverstein
A curious mind does not jump to conclusions but tests carefully and thoroughly. A curious mind will draw on all of life's experience to get to the big uh huh. The curious cut the data by quintile, by segment, and by user.
Michael J. Silverstein
I admire many entrepreneurs. They bring energy, excitement, youthful enthusiasm. What they lack in process, they make up for in gumption.
Michael J. Silverstein
Original research starts all inspiration. Get inside the head of the consumer. Understand their needs, hopes and dreams. Deliver to their expectation. Have your team do the work. They will then have the framework for the solution. If they believe and they understand, the results will be their results.

Failure to make the tough but necessary choices means slow painful death.
