My Notes on this Book

Following you'll find my key takeaways from The Magic of Thinking Big.  My notes are informal and include key points, quotes from the book, passages I found useful and applicable lessons.  I am currently reading this book and will update my notes periodically.

  • Relationships are a valuable asset that need to be nurtured and managed to grow.
  • Create a system to combine your online and offline networking.
  • Consumers of high ticket items want a relationship with the people they are doing business with.  "Customers don't need relationship with you to by a $5 product."
  • People are more cooperative with people in their own community and more combative with people outside their community.
  • Don't fight human nature, work with it.
  • "All other things being equal, the more familiar an item is, the more attractive it is.  People prefer a face they have seen ten times to equally attractive faces they've only seen five times."  Dr. Elliot Aronson in the book, The Social Animal.
  • The point above is the reason you need to be consistent in your marketing.  Frequency is more important than reach.
  • Priming: The more someone is exposed to something the more likely they are to agree with it.  "The higher the exposure, the deeper the trust."
  • "The true value of technology in marketing is relationship building."
