Davy Crockett - Ever Westward

Janet Benge, Geoff Benge

David's father stood beside the stone chimney and spoke to his son. "It's time to grow up, lad," he said. "Mr. Siler has hired you to go to Virginia with him. He's run ragged trying to keep the cattle with him, and he needs a young 'un with strong legs and keen eyes to help him out. Better hitch the wagon and say your good-byes." Growing up in Greene County, Tennessee, Davy Crockett's education came from the toil of hard labor. Working as a farm hand and wagon driver, he learned about the people and the land of the West -- and he was captivated. The untamed wilderness, the sound of wild animals, and the roar of the river would be his destiny. One of America's best-known folk heroes, Crockett served as a frontiersman, a scout, a soldier, and a politician in the U.S. Congress. He died defending the Alamo, a steadfast citizen and heroic leader to the very end.

Dark Psychology - Detecting Lies...

Wesley Felt

At a certain stage in your sales process, your prospect realizes they have a need—ideally due to your exceptional selling skills. As you guide them from recognizing this need through analysis and finally to making a decision, what is on their mind? Consciously or subconsciously, buyers are always weighing the balance of performance, image, and price (PIP). These three factors are perceived differently by each individual, and perceptions can shift over time. In the current economy, it’s crucial to recognize that the relationship between these factors is undergoing significant changes. Marketing must adapt products and messages to align with these shifts, while sales teams need to adjust their presentations, ask new questions, and carefully consider the responses they receive.
So, what are these three principles, and how should they be managed?
Performance – For consumers, the concept of performance is evolving. Consider a consumer’s most significant purchase—a home. The idea that "bigger is better" is no longer valid. Consumers are less willing to endure long commutes in exchange for a large house. While the size of a family may change, the desire for a larger home has diminished. Business buyers are experiencing a similar shift. Product and service claims will be scrutinized more closely, and investments that don’t offer a quick return will be avoided. If you thought businesses were short-sighted before, expect this trend to intensify.
Image – Image remains important, but it’s constantly changing. For consumers, image is increasingly about what a product or service represents to them personally. A homebuyer might choose a smaller house closer to work, but they’ll still want it to reflect their lifestyle. Some images may even become anti-conspicuous. Businesses will also adjust their views on image.
