Product Description

Product Description

“In The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell presents an important idea without any ‘how to.’ Now Bertrand Cesvet provides the ‘how to’ you need to create ‘Tipping Points’ for your business and success. This book is a compelling presentation of a powerful idea. This is how the new world will do business. Highly recommended if you care about your future.”

Stewart Emery, coauthor of international best-seller Success Built to Last

 

“Ultimately, magic is unexplainable. Still, Conversational Capital provides the most insightful analysis of what makes our shows ring in the heart of fans.”

Guy Laliberte, founder, Cirque du Soleil

 

“Like all great ideas, Conversational Capital is at its core simple: word-of-mouth momentum can be created, harnessed, and used to build consumer passion for a brand better and more cost-effectively than almost any other marketing medium.”

Rupert Duchesne,CEO of Aeroplan

 

“Marketing is an art that Conversational Capital turns smartly into science. This book provides the complete prescription for getting consumers excited about your ideas.”

Jim Champy, coauthor, Reenginering the Corporation, and author, Outsmart!

 

Embed into Your Products and Experiences the Ingredients that Drive Advocacy:

  • Create products and services that consumers find truly significant
  • Intensify consumption experiences to transform your brands into market leaders
  • Don’t settle for serendipity: manage and control the word-of-mouth around your brand by manipulating eight powerful experience amplifiers

For all the books that speak of the value of consumer advocacy, few indicate how to create it to begin with. Armed with a compelling set of examples from their own work in fostering leading brands, the authors reveal the triggers of word-of-mouth and a process to embedding them in your own products, helping you create stuff people love to talk about. From Bertrand Cesvet, chairman of Sid Lee, a leading purveyor of experiential design and communications services that leverages commercial creativity for breakthrough brands including Cirque du Soleil, adidas, and Red Bull.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful Strategic Marketing Principles Delivered in a Way That Belies the Book's Messages, 18 April 2009
By Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)      

Whenever I teach a class of entrepreneurs, they immediately grasp the key elements of this book: Stun customers with something very special so that they won't be able to stop talking about the experience. Everyone can tell at least one story about having had such an experience.

When these same "expert" entrepreneurs begin describing how they intend to do the same thing, the concept immediately becomes unattainable. Why? They need a "how to" process that leads them to create such a result.

I picked up this book hoping to find such a process . . . which I didn't find. I did find a solid list of factors that can be involved in such success, defined best in terms of Cirque de Soleil which the authors represent from their Montreal base.

Conversational Capital misses three big opportunities:

1. To provide such a "how to" in more detail than simply encouraging people to brainstorm around a few principles.

2. To lead business people to other sources of information that might inspire or direct them into taking useful steps (I think that a lot of the new neurological information about how we make decisions and are influenced by our surroundings would have been very useful).

3. To write the book in such a way as to exemplify the point.

I didn't find the book demonstrated much value in those three dimensions.

The authors' main contribution is to encourage strategists to think in terms of creating an on-going source of amazement that stimulates continual discussions about offerings. That's a fine thing to do, and I was glad that I read the book for that purpose.

If you already can think of five excellent examples of how others have achieved that result, this book may add one or two more.

Knock their socks off . . . and keep those socks knocked off!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, 3 Nov 2008
By Mr. G. D. Atkinson (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Both as a student studying for a degree in marketing management and branding, and as a young marketer starting out in my first agency, this book is providing me with a unique perspective on how brands can achieve success in the increasingly fragmented consumer marketplace. A great, thought provoking and inspiring read!
