Will You Add? - Differentiation Is the Key to Business Success
Without a doubt, the King of Reality TV is Mark Burnett. From Survivor to The Apprentice to The Contender, Mark Burnett has been the man behind some of the most successful shows in history. But how did he do it? How did this former British Paratrooper become one of the most powerful men in Telev

Now days, most people do not start a job with the knowledge or belief that they will be doing the same job for the rest of their life. As technology and the way we work changes, many people expect to have several job or career changes during their working life. So how you decide as to which jo
Just as the United States has enjoyed success through differentiation, your business will prosper when you distinguish yourself from the competition. In fact, it is the foundation upon which buzz is built.
When we started our marketing firm, we turned down the first business that wanted to hire us because neither the company nor its products were different enough from the competition to generate buzz. Without a degree of difference, it’s virtually impossible to get customers and the media excited.
A friend, who is a plumber, has found her degree of difference in small acts that always startle and delight her customers. Unlike her competitors, she never charges for the minor parts such as washers, screws, and bolts that she uses in her plumbing repairs. However, when she prepares an invoice, she always shows the value for each part and includes the word ‘complimentary.’ Customers are delighted to get something for nothing and often remark that they’ve never seen a plumber give away parts.
When she completes a basic plumbing job, she gives the customer a bottle of Drano. Although it might eliminate some future routine work, my friend is happy because it guarantees customer loyalty and generates plenty of referrals for larger and more profitable jobs.
Another friend, who is a restaurant owner, also makes the little things count. He greets each dining party personally. At dinner, he offers his customers a complimentary palate-cleaning mango sorbet served in an elegant cordial glass with a splash of champagne. It’s a unique and delicious way to start a meal, and it sets him apart from other restaurants. As diners leave, he makes a point of holding open the door while thanking them and inviting them back soon. He attributes his booming business to loyal customers and their friends, and it’s his stellar service that creates the degree of difference that keeps people coming back.

Some people are happy with just a business card. For others it’s not enough to be glanced at once and packed away. They want to be attached to something that you have to open in order to eat and therefore live.This association with survival is what promotional magnets offer. Often attache
