11. 11 We used to promote our brands, products and services by shouting as hard as we can why everybody should purchase our products. And when it doesn’t have any effect?! Shout louder and more often! Just as long as it takes to convince the costumer…

39. 39 Interruption is becoming less effective, the future is about permission. Organizations with remarkable ideas can win, but it’s not only the idea that counts, also the way it is spread. Instead of marketers searching for customers for their products, they should find products for their costumers!!

Focus on saleswhich are initiated by current users. 66 Social Media Marketing

Facilitatethe networks and conversationsbetween the people. Move your story into their world. And let them tell it and talk aboutit! 67 Social Media Marketing
