All the talk and collateral in the world won’t matter if your message doesn’t speak to your target audience, especially in our current economic draught. Rarely does everyone at a company say the same thing and seldom do they say it in a compelling manner that reaches customers. Kevin Daum addresses these hurdles with his approach based upon a 3,500 year old secret to success and the inspiration of his latest book ROAR! Get Heard in the Sales and Marketing Jungle (Wiley).
Whether you’re negotiating a major deal, interviewing for your first job or graduating college, the benefits of ROAR! and pursuing The Awesome Experience are endless. In a charming and motivational manner, Daum has the insight to create ROARing successes in both the professional and personal realm for anyone looking to succeed.
I asked Kevin what he attributed to these numbers. He responded, “It’s a combination of timing knowing when certain media events or buying events are coming. I knew I was speaking to a large group and they would be buying a number of books and then focused my energy on for a groundswell with my family and friends. ROI from an efficiency standpoint.”
Kevin tells the story of a company that spends $10,000 a year on a self-published book that doesn’t sell them but, instead, gives them away each year and, as a result, gets back $150,000 or more from that investment. He continues on his process, “I took a book from concept to contract in five months called Green Sense and got a five-figure income. In my column I focus on convergence of need, entertainment and the unexpected. I didn’t have the money that Patrick Lencioni or Seth Godin had but I had a network and I am a marketer so I took what I did have and made it work.”
So what’s the Amazon status of his book currently?
