Comment Schmomment 2010-07-03

by Jade Handy on July 3, 2010

Welcome back to my Shop-Talk-Off-The-Clock Series Weekend Bender Edition of Comment Schmomment.  It’s my take on blog posts that caught my attention recently.  Enjoy this periodic un-comprehensive list of people I’m discovering and paying attention to.

Comment Schmomment is designed, specifically, for someone interested in perusing what I’m into.  Surely, I can’t be the only one out there who is interested in what others have to say.   ;)

Also, it’s a great way to re-purpose my obsessive compulsive habit of saving for the sake of saving my comments posted on others’ posts!

Have a look-see…

Deborah Chaddock Brown’s Pretzel Power: Building Relationships One Bite at a Time on makeorbreakmoments.com

Absolutely marvelous. But stay away from the children!  What a great device for getting attention, though.  How many managers are out there beating their dented heads against the wall when all along the answer is right there in front of them…at Sam’s Club!  Hey, you don’t happen to have a white van do ya?

Wil’s English expressions and idioms with ‘ears’ on Wil’s World of Words

I know these as more than idioms, but as organ language. Why talk this way? For most people, it just happens naturally. That’s my point. It happens naturally and thus connects most quickly. Idioms, and more specifically, organ language is the fastest path between your mouth and their ears (formerly known as “from point A to point B.”)

Mike Wagner’s Before You Became the Lid You Were the Rocket! on OwnYourWords.com 

Great article. Great job reframing a image that creates a bad feeling into an image that gets replaced with a good feeling. Finally, great job reminding people of past resources that they don’t always think of in these moments.

 

MarketingProfs’ You’ll Be Shocked and Amazed! Or Maybe Not on marketingprofs.com

“But is it better to get a click and then annoy someone, or better to only reach the people who care?” -Seth Godin.  This goes for just about any persuasive communication encounter.  Qualifiy up front.  Even if it’s only “Do we have a basis for doing business?”  Verbally said or mentally read off the person you’re talking to, it is a much faster path to doing business the way you really want.
