TALK TRIGGERS
The 4-5-6 Recipe To
Generate Talk Triggers
By Jay Baer
& Daniel Lemin

The 4 R’s of a
Talk Trigger
Talk Triggers must be remarkable.

If the story isn’t unusual it’s not worth sharing it, and your customers won’t.

Talk Triggers must be repeatable.

Shock-and-awe might have been a viral PR strategy in 2015 and 2016, but successful 

Talk Triggers need to be able to scale to every customer, every time.

Talk Triggers must be realistic.

Hyperbolic marketing-speak got us into the trust chasm in the first place. Great 

Talk Triggers benefit from the element of being real.

Talk Triggers must be relevant.

Sometimes the best way to capitalize on a Talk Trigger is to own your niche and celebrate 

its oddness, weirdness or specificity. Relevance is one reason consumers will feel 

compelled to share it.

The 5 Types of
Talk Triggers
Talkable Empathy

Align your company’s values with your customer’s values.

Talkable Usefulness

If it’s the most useful example of the thing in your category, it’s Talkable.

Talkable Generosity

Doing something extra is Talkable because, frankly, few others are willing.

Talkable Speed

Speed is memorable and makes for great stories.

Talkable Attitude

Do you love your customers, truly? It shows, either way.
