Hopefully the stories will provide a backdrop for individuals to examine their own journey in decision making.

The frame that will assist in your analysis I call “CRISP” Decisions. A CRISP decision is not a process, but rather the elements that make up a calculated decision. A CRISP decision can happen quickly and instinctively or thoughtfully and strategically. I have found characteristics that enhance a CRISP decision. Each chapter highlights a characteristic to support the attitude needed in goal-oriented decisions. Your key takeaways from this book will be:

Empathic Marketing® - 5 Steps to...

Mike Caldwell

It just makes sense, when you understand your audience and they feel understood, you’ll win more clients and make more sales in ANY economy. Mike Caldwell was a paramedic for 12 years before falling off a cliff and breaking his arm, leg, and back. As important as his skills were with starting IV’s, administering medications, and intubating patients, his greatest strengths were understanding his patient’s pain and having them believe and trust that he was there to help. How would your marketing and sales numbers improve if your potential customers were convinced you understood them and were there to help? Empathy is defined as the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. But until now, there has been no method or process for distilling, implementing, and leveraging empathy to increase your customers, make more sales, and rocket your business’s bottom line. Now, for the first time, Caldwell offers a simple 5-step process for unlocking your new Empathic Marketing™ superpower. Because Empathic Marketing™ is a “people first” approach to marketing and advertising, it’s a timeless strategy that will work for entrepreneurs, small businesses, and large corporations alike. Empathic Marketing™ is not a secret, trick, or tactic that involves misleading clickbait advertising or spammy emails. Rather it’s an earnest communication approach that incorporates integrity, honesty, and authenticity. No matter what your product or service, this book will help you craft your unique message. Through his personal stories, Mike shares real-life examples of empathy at work and breaks down step-by-step how to apply it to your business. Todd Brown said it best “[Empathic Marketing™] shines as a beacon of light for the idea of maximum sales generation with honesty…. authenticity… and empathy.” If these values are important to you, and this is how you wish your business to present, this book will show you the way.
