-Titulo Original : Marketing To Mindstates The Practical Guide To Applying Behavior Design To Research And Marketing-Fabricante : Lioncrest Publishing-Descripcion Original: Your nonconscious mind will filter out more than 99 percent of marketing you “see” today. Traditional marketing simply doesn’t work in today’s complex world. To reach today’s customers and influence their purchases, marketers and market researchers need to understand and harness the power of applied behavior psychology and behavior economics to break through these nonconscious filters and drive purchase behaviors-a process called Mindstate Marketing. In Marketing to Mindstates, Will Leach, founder of The Mindstate Group, a leading behavior research and marketing consultancy, demystifies this nonconscious filter and explains how to bypass it, introducing readers to temporary moments of influence called mindstates. Using his Mindstate Behavioral Model, he shows you specifically how to create behaviorally optimized messaging designed to activate these mindstates and trigger real emotional engagement. With this book, researchers and marketers will finally have a practical guide to designing marketing creative that compels people to listen, care, and act.“Will Leach has done a great job with his first book, Marketing to Mindstates. Hes taken what could be a complex topic and really simplified it into an easy-to-read and understandable format. Additionally, he gives great examples of how you can apply his process to your own brands that are very actionable. Definitely worth the read.”-Regan Ebert, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Dr Pepper Snapple Group“Marketing to Mindstates is an amazing secret weapon for any marketer or business leader looking to understand their consumers better or gain an edge in driving actionable insights to transform their strategy. Will has such a gift for taking supercomplex theory and his years of experience and breaking it down into accessible concepts that made it simple to understand and implement in my own business. Highly recommended!-Michael Messersmith, General Manager, OatlyWill Leach is a passionate man, a deep thinker, and has a mind that constantly moves at 100 mph. All of this is present in his book, Marketing to Mindstates. Yet, what really comes through is the clarity with which he talks about the behavioral sciences in the context of everyday marketing and how all of us can apply his model in both marketing and research. The book is full of fascinating examples, clear ideas for implementation, and yes, passion for the subject matter. Every marketer and researcher should have this on their bedside table.-Simon Chadwick, Managing Partner, Cambiar Consulting“This book is really engaging and relatable, especially to those of us who have worked in consumer/shopper insights. As a fellow student of behavioral science, I know this stuff can be overwhelming and a challenge to make sense of. Will has done an impressive job of making sense of behavioral design and saving the rest of us from having to go through the effort to get there on our own.” -Phil McGee, President, Decision Breakers, and Host of Shoppernomics Podcast“I highly recommend Marketing to Mindstates to anybody who wants to apply behavioral science to improve their marketing. Not only is Marketing to Mindstates a thorough science-based book, but Leach’s Mindstate Activation Model is communicated in a clear, approachable way, making these concepts very actionable for anybody to use. If the goal of the book is to be a ‘practical guide’ to applying behavior design to research and marketing, that goal has been reached.”-Eric Singler, Global CEO, BVA Nudge Unit Review For the first time, decades of behavioral and psychological decision-making theories are illuminated and come to life in a practical, approachable application guide.

-Titulo Original : Built To Fail The Inside Story Of Blockbusters Inevitable Bust-Fabricante : Lioncrest Publishing-Descripcion Original: How does an iconic brand die?For more than two decades, Blockbuster was Americas favorite way to watch movies. Millions of customers visited more than eight thousand stores around the globe every week, providing more data about movie audiences than anyone in history had ever owned.If any company should have predicted the disruptive forces coming down the pike, it was Blockbuster. But as new threats emerged, none of its five CEOs had answers, and the company collapsed long before its time.Built to Fail tells the complete inside story of Blockbusters meteoric rise and catastrophic fall. Beneath the surface of explosive growth lay a shaky foundation of financial difficulty, tunnel vision, and missed opportunities.Written by Alan Payne, the man who built the longest-lasting Blockbuster franchise chain in the country, Built to Fail is a cautionary tale for todays disruptive marketplace, explaining why Blockbuster was a broken company long before Netflix ever streamed a single movie. Review Meticulously researched, with findings based on fact not theory; Alan Payne shows the true reason for Blockbusters failure. It wasnt Netflix, Redbox, or Walmart, but their own hubris and lack of imagination, curiosity, and vision that did them in. --Don Jeffries, Executive Vice President, Twentieth Century Fox Home Video Alan Payne was a positive force in the Blockbuster system for twenty-five years--a respected, forward-thinking leader whose stores continued to prosper while the company collapsed around him.

-Titulo Original : The Talent War How Special Operations And Great Organizations Win On Talent-Fabricante : Lioncrest Publishing-Descripcion Original: Foreword written by New York Times bestselling author and retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink. A must-read for any business leader looking to build elite teams and win on talent. Talent is the foundation of every success story from Silicon Valley to Wall Street to Main Street, and even on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. Its the hidden asset that never shows up on the balance sheet, despite being the driver for a companys true value. And now, in this hypercompetitive business environment, the war for talent has never been more important, or more complex. Of eight hundred CEOs and six hundred C-suite executives polled in 2019, the overwhelming majority cited the ability to attract and retain top talent as their number one concern. For your organization to win, you need to attract and retain the best talent. But without the right strategy or mindset, you wont be able to do so--and you wont be able to compete. After all, your people, not your product or service, are your strongest competitive advantage. When it comes to winning on talent, no one does it better or more consistently than the US Special Operations community. Their success comes down to their people and a widely held foundational belief: Talent Leadership = Victory. The Talent War explores how US Special Operations Forces assess, select, and develop their world-class talent. Youll learn how to adopt a talent mindset, the single greatest weapon you can possess in the war for talent. When your organization reflects this mindset, you will hire, train, and develop the right people, and put them in the best positions to make decisions that allow you to retake the advantage and win the war. Review This must-read for business leaders provides a fresh perspective on transforming the hiring process.--Kirkus ReviewsAs CEO of a cybersecurity company, I fight The Talent War every day.

The Talent War draws upon the lessons learned from over 50 years of selecting and developing high performing teams to provide actionable insights for any business competing for talent. --Brian Decker, Director of Player Development, Indianapolis Colts, and former US Army Special Forces Officer As a nominating committee member for Ernst & Youngs Entrepreneur of the Year, I assess hundreds of companies and their leaders. The differentiator between those that are selected and those that are not, comes down to TALENT. Every winner and finalist over the last 34 years has a talent mindset.
