Seth Godin
The goal of a marketing interaction isn't to close the sale, any more than the goal of a first date is to get married. No, the opportunity is to move forward, to earn attention and trust and curiosity and conversation.
Seth Godin
The answer to the question where do good ideas come from is always the same, the come from bad ideas. If you come up with 20 bad ideas you get one good one.
