2. Play to win – • Your success is determined by your attitude and
expectations• Believe that you have the right product/service,
that it offers real benefits, and that you are promoting it to the right people. • There is a difference between playing to win and
playing not to lose. – If you play not to lose, it is almost guaranteed that you
will not win.

4. Flout conventional wisdom – • “Marketing is always expensive”
– False. – Spending more money is not always better.
• Many marketers overemphasize the upfront cost of an advertising program (e.g. cost to reach a certain number of people).• You are better off measuring the more important
gauges that tell you if your program is profitable, such as cost per sale or cost per dollar of revenue.

5. Do whatever it takes – • Do the tough upfront work to make sure you have
a compelling value proposition.– Research your competitors– Test your models and strategies– Gain intimate knowledge of your audience– Continually refine your process
• The only caveat – you must always do what it takes with integrity and decency.• Shortcuts are harmful in the long-term.
