Think Differently

Not only is the old model broken, we believe one cause is that buyer behavior changed. However, there might actually be something more significant happening, a revolution might be occurring. An uprising against traditional advertising and the installation of a new approach…Reality Marketing!
Consider the definitions from Wikipedia: A revolution (from the Latin revolutio, "a turn around") is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time.
Think of all of the marketing tools we have today that we didn’t have ten years ago;smartphones, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, PRWeb, Twitter, Flikr, Yelp, TripAdvisor,CraigsList. The list goes on and on.
This change, uprising, or revolution is being fueled by the changes in buyer behavior. What makes you think your prospects are behaving any differently?
