  • Maximum Impact with Brian Kurtz (Persuasion Play Podcast #19)

    1:31pm
    East of the Mississippi


    When I first picked up Brian Kurtz’ book, Overdeliver, I was pretty new to the game of direct response marketing.

    At the time, I didn’t know who Brian was. I didn’t know much about Boardroom Reports. I had no idea the influence Brian has had over the last 4+ decades.

    But I can still see his sales video in my head, Brian standing in a white room, and even then I knew he had a lot to share.

    Brian’s lessons within Overdeliver changed how I understood marketing. It should be required reading for all marketers today.

    After I attended Chris Mason’s and Brian’s Breakthrough Advertising Bootcamp, I asked Brian to join me for a Persuasion Play Podcast conversation.

    True to his book title, Brian overdelivered in this episode, sharing so many ideas he learned from those who came before him, including Eugene Schwartz, Marty Edelston, Dan Kennedy, and others.

    Get all of Brian’s insights in Episode 19 of the Persuasion Play Podcast: Maximum Impact.

    Hey there!

    Yesterday we discussed the importance of your tone of voice, specifically how being monotone works against your ability to hold someone’s attention.

    If your voice has no texture, basically, there’s nothing to hook your listeners’ ears.

    But… I mentioned that maybe you want to be boring and monotone, on occasion.

  • Business Growth with Ben Settle
    (Persuasion Play Podcast 007)

    I’m not entirely sure when I first heard about copywriter Ben Settle from  BenSettle.com. I signed up for his daily email list in July of 2018, some 10 months ago. I’ve since received over 600 emails from him.

    And I open every one.

    Ben’s emails discuss email marketing and adjusting your mindset towards success.
