			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Uma ideia na cabeça e uma conexão com a internet  – é a receita de uma boa iniciativa digital. Vale tudo: desde projetos colaborativos com motivações nobres até blogs simples e divertidos. Se você tiver bons contatos, a ideia vai se espalhar pelas redes sociais e ganhar destaque entre os milhares de assuntos que pipocam todos os dias na web. A SUPER separou alguns dos projetos digitais mais legais que fizeram sucesso em 2011. O ano está acabando, mas ainda dá tempo de participar de alguns. Confira.</p>
<p><strong>10. Drawhappy</strong></p>
<p>Rios de dinheiro? Amor eterno? Uma casa do campo? Desenhe num papel o que faz você <strong>feliz</strong> – não precisa nem ser o desenho mais bonito do mundo. Em seguida, mande a imagem para Catherine Young, uma estudante islandesa. Ela é a criadora do <a href="http://drawhappy.wordpress.com/">Draw Happy</a>, um blog que reúne várias versões da felicidade ao redor do mundo. O site já tem mais de 20 contribuições brasileiras e foi destaque no post de estreia do blog <a href="http://super.abril.com.br/blogs/cultura/" target="_blank">#cultura</a>, aqui da SUPER.<span id="more-180"></span></p>
<p><strong>9. Todo dia um look</strong></p>
<p>De repente, todo mundo virou especialista e blogueiro de moda. Para tirar um sarro dos blogs do gênero, três jovens gaúchos decidiram analisar a moda masculina contemporânea com bom-humor e ironia. O resultado é o <a href="http://tododiaumlook.virgula.uol.com.br/">Todo dia um look</a>, livremente inspirado em outro blog famoso, o <a href="http://www.umanosemzara.com.br/">Um ano sem Zara.</a> Só que ao contrário.</p>
<p><strong>8. Global Voices</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://pt.globalvoicesonline.org/">Vozes Globais (Global Voices) </a>é uma rede internacional de blogueiros que traduzem, reportam e defendem blogs e mídia cidadã de todo o mundo. A liberdade de expressão e acesso à informação é a principal missão dos colaboradores. As possibilidades da internet como meio de difusão das informações longe das amarras da mídia é explorada ao máximo, de uma maneira responsável e eficiente. O Global Voices não nasceu em 2011, mas ganhou visibilidade depois que o site foi reformulado.</p>
<p><strong>7. 3six5</strong></p>
<p>Falando em conteúdo colaborativo, o <a href="http://the3six5.posterous.com/">3six5</a> também merece estar na lista. O objetivo era reunir depoimentos de pessoas do mundo inteiro através de textos diários que pudessem responder uma pergunta simples: “como foi o seu dia hoje?”. O projeto chegou a inspirar uma <a href="http://www.3meia5.com/pages/teste">versão brasileira</a>, que só sobreviveu durante 5 meses. Ainda dá tempo de participar. É só entrar na lista de espera e aguardar o contato.</p>
<p><strong>6.<em> Life in a day</em></strong></p>
<p>As pequenas histórias do dia-a-dia também inspiraram o <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/lifeinaday">Life in a day,</a> projeto colaborativo do Youtube, que ficou pronto em janeiro de 2011. A ideia surgiu em 2010, quando o cineasta Kevin MacDonald pediu aos usuários da rede para filmarem suas vidas durante as 24 horas do dia 24 de julho. O Youtube recebeu 80 mil vídeos de 197 países em 45 idiomas. O material editado deu origem a um curta-metragem exibido na própria plataforma. O filme, produzido por Ridley Scott também chegou ao festival de cinema independente de Sundance.</p>
<p><strong>5. Cidade para pessoas</strong></p>
<p>A paulistana Natália Garcia decidiu fazer algo diferente: trocou o transporte público e os carros pela bicicleta e descobriu uma nova São Paulo – com pessoas diferentes e novos contrastes. Tempos depois, ela saiu pelo mundo com o objetivo de buscar novas ideias de planejamento urbano que pudessem ser realizadas em São Paulo. De volta ao Brasil, Natália trabalha no fechamento das reportagens que produz e arrecada dinheiro para bancar a segunda parte do projeto em cidades da Ásia e África. A busca pelo patrocínio para o <a href="http://cidadesparapessoas.com.br/">Cidades para Pessoas</a> é feita por meio no principal projeto de crowdfunding do Brasil: o Catarse.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="articleBody">
<p>I just finished a two-year project looking at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Michael-Porter-Essential-Competition/dp/1422160599/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1323294704&amp;sr=1-1">Michael Porter&#8217;s most important insights for managers.</a> Connecting the dots between his classic frameworks (<a href="http://hbr.org/2008/01/the-five-competitive-forces-that-shape-strategy/ar/1">the five forces</a>, for example) and his latest thinking (the five tests of strategy) gave me a new understanding of the most common mistakes that can derail a company&#8217;s strategy. In a previous post, I focused on <a href="http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2011/11/stop_competing_to_be_the_best.html">the fallacy of competing to be the best</a>. Here are five more traps I&#8217;ve seen managers fall into over and over again. Understanding Porter&#8217;s strategy fundamentals will help you to avoid them.<span id="more-175"></span></p>
<p><strong>Mistake #1. Confusing marketing with strategy. </strong></p>
<p>Correction: A value proposition isn&#8217;t the same thing as a strategy. If you&#8217;re trying to describe a strategy, the value proposition is a natural place to begin — it&#8217;s intuitive to think of strategy in terms of the mix of benefits aimed at meeting customers&#8217; needs. But as important as it is to have insight into customers&#8217; needs, don&#8217;t confuse marketing with strategy. What the marketing-only approach misses is that a robust strategy also requires a tailored value chain, a unique configuration of activities that best delivers that kind of value. This element of strategy is not at all intuitive, but it&#8217;s absolutely essential. If you perform the same activities as everyone else, in the same ways, how can you expect to achieve better performance? To establish a competitive advantage, a company must deliver its <em>distinctive value </em>through a <em>distinctive value chain</em>. It must perform different activities than rivals or perform similar activities in different ways.<br />
<strong><br />
Mistake #2. Confusing competitive advantage with &#8220;what you&#8217;re good at.&#8221; </strong></p>
<p>Correction: Building on strength is a good thing, but when it comes to strategy, companies are too often inward looking and therefore likely to overestimate their strengths. You might perceive customer service as a strong area. So that becomes the &#8220;strength&#8221; on which you attempt to build a strategy. But a real strength for strategy purposes has to be something the company can do better than any of its rivals. And &#8220;better&#8221; because you are choosing to meet different needs and performing different activities than they perform, because you&#8217;ve chosen a different configuration for your value chain than they have.</p>
<p><strong>Mistake #3: Pursuing size above all else, because if you&#8217;re the biggest, you&#8217;ll be more profitable. </strong></p>
<p>Correction: There is at least a grain of truth in this thinking, which is precisely what makes it so dangerous. But before you assume that bigger is always better, it is critical to run the numbers for your business. Too often the goal is chosen because it sounds good, whether or not the economics of the business support the logic. In industry after industry, Porter notes that economies of scale are exhausted at a relatively small share of industry sales. There is no systematic evidence that indicates that industry leaders are the most profitable or successful firms. To cite one notorious example, General Motors was the world&#8217;s largest car company for a period of decades, a fact that didn&#8217;t prevent its descent into bankruptcy. To the extent that size mattered at all, it might be more accurate to say that GM was too big to succeed. Meanwhile, BMW, small by industry standards, has a history of superior returns. Over the past decade (2000-2009), its average return on invested capital was 50 percent higher than the industry average. Companies only have to be &#8220;big enough,&#8221; which rarely means they have to dominate. Often &#8220;big enough&#8221; is just 10 percent of the market.</p>
<p><strong>Mistake #4. Thinking that &#8220;growth&#8221; or &#8220;reaching $1 billion in revenue&#8221; is a strategy.</strong></p>
<p>Correction: Don&#8217;t confuse strategy with actions (grow, acquire, divest, etc.) or with goals (reach X billion in sales, Y share of market). Porter&#8217;s definition: the set of integrated choices that define how you will achieve superior performance in the face of competition. It&#8217;s not the goal (e.g., be number one or reach $1 billion in top-line revenue), nor is it a specific action (e.g., make acquisitions). It&#8217;s the positioning you choose that will result in achieving the goal; the actions are the path you take to realize the positioning. Moreover, when Porter defines strategy, he is really talking about what constitutes a good strategy — one that will result in a higher ROIC than the industry average. The real problem here is that you will think you have a strategy when you don&#8217;t.<br />
<strong><br />
Mistake #5. Focusing on high-growth markets, because that&#8217;s where the money is.</strong></p>
<p>Correction: Managers often mistakenly assume that a high-growth industry will be an attractive one. Wrong. Growth is no guarantee that the industry will be profitable. For example, growth might put suppliers in the driver&#8217;s seat, driving up the industry&#8217;s costs and limiting profitability. Or, combined with low entry barriers, growth might attract new rivals, thereby increasing competition and driving prices down. Growth alone says nothing about the power of customers or the availability of substitutes, both of which would dampen profitability. The untested assumption that a fast-growing industry is a &#8220;good&#8221; industry, Porter warns, often leads to bad strategy decisions.</p>
<p>These mistakes are both common and costly. Getting smarter about how competition works and what strategy is will save you from making them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Don&#8217;t show &#8216;em the money (even if you have it). Here are nine better ways to boost morale.</p>
<div></div>
<p><a title="&lt;credit&gt;Getty&lt;/credit&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;" href="http://www.inc.com/uploaded_files/image/dancing-employees-pop_11910.jpg"><img src="http://www.inc.com/uploaded_files/image/dancing-employees-pan_11910.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The ability to motivate employees</strong> is one of the greatest skills an entrepreneur can possess. Two years ago, I realized I didn’t have this skill. So I hired a CEO who did.</p>
<p>Josh had 12 years in the corporate world, which included running a major department at Comcast. I knew he was seasoned, but I was still skeptical at first. We were going through some tough growing pains, and I thought that a lack of cash would make it extremely difficult to improve the company morale.</p>
<p>I was wrong.</p>
<p>With his help and the help of the great team leaders he put in place, Josh not only rebuilt the culture, but also created a passionate, hard-working team that is as committed to growing and improving the company as I am.</p>
<p>Here are nine things I learned from him:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Be generous with praise.</strong> Everyone wants it and it’s one of the easiest things to give. Plus, praise from the CEO goes a lot farther than you might think. Praise every improvement that you see your team members make. Once you’re comfortable delivering praise one-on-one to an employee, try praising them in front of others. <strong> </strong></li>
<li><strong>Get rid of the managers. </strong>Projects without project managers? That doesn’t seem right! Try it. Removing the project lead or supervisor and empowering your staff to work together as a team rather then everyone reporting to one individual can do wonders. Think about it. What’s worse than letting your supervisor down? Letting your team down! Allowing people to work together as a team, on an equal level with their co-workers, will often produce better projects faster. People will come in early, stay late, and devote more of their energy to solving problems. <strong> </strong></li>
<li><strong>Make your ideas theirs.</strong> People hate being told what to do. Instead of telling people what you want done; ask them in a way that will make them feel like they came up with the idea. “I’d like you to do it this way” turns into “Do you think it’s a good idea if we do it this way?” <strong> <span id="more-172"></span></strong></li>
<li><strong>Never criticize or correct.</strong> No one, and I mean no one, wants to hear that they did something wrong. If you’re looking for a de-motivator, this is it. Try an indirect approach to get people to improve, learn from their mistakes, and fix them. Ask, “Was that the best way to approach the problem? Why not? Have any ideas on what you could have done differently?” Then you’re having a conversation and talking through solutions, not pointing a finger. <strong> </strong></li>
<li><strong>Make everyone a leader.</strong> Highlight your top performers’ strengths and let them know that because of their excellence, you want them to be the example for others. You’ll set the bar high and they’ll be motivated to live up to their reputation as a leader. <strong> </strong></li>
<li><strong>Take an employee to lunch once a week.</strong> Surprise them. Don’t make an announcement that you’re establishing a new policy. Literally walk up to one of your employees, and invite them to lunch with you. It’s an easy way to remind them that you notice and appreciate their work. <strong> </strong></li>
<li><strong>Give recognition and small rewards.</strong> These two things come in many forms: Give a shout out to someone in a company meeting for what she has accomplished. Run contests or internal games and keep track of the results on a whiteboard that everyone can see. Tangible awards that don’t break the bank can work too. Try things like dinner, trophies, spa services, and plaques.<strong> </strong></li>
<li><strong>Throw company parties.</strong> Doing things as a group can go a long way. Have a company picnic. Organize birthday parties. Hold a happy hour. Don’t just wait until the holidays to do a company activity; organize events throughout the year to remind your staff that you’re all in it together.</li>
<li><strong>Share the rewards—and the pain.</strong> When your company does well, celebrate. This is the best time to let everyone know that you’re thankful for their hard work. Go out of your way to show how far you will go when people help your company succeed. If there are disappointments, share those too. If you expect high performance, your team deserves to know where the company stands. Be honest and transparent.</li>

<h2>Empresas familiares</h2>
<p>São Paulo &#8211; Nos <strong><a href="http://www.exame.com.br/topicos/estados-unidos" target="_blank">Estados Unidos</a></strong>, as empresas familiares são responsáveis por empregar mais de 60% da população, além de contribuir com 64% do PIB.</p>
<p>A importância dessas companhias para a economia do país acaba de ser esquadrinhada pela revista <a href="http://www.familybusinessmagazine.com/" target="_blank">Business Family</a> , que elaborou uma pesquisa para traçar o seu perfil.</p>
<p>O levantamento mostra que as famílias estão muito envolvidas com o dia-a-dia dos negócios: 94% dessas empresas são lideradas por alguém da família. A pesquisa ouviu, no período de julho a agosto deste ano, 431 empresas, que juntas movimentam mais de 30 bilhões de dólares por ano.</p>
<p>A Business Family também listou as 100 maiores empresas familiares dos Estados Unidos. Veja, a seguir, as 10 primeiras do ranking (juntas, elas movimentam quase 1 trilhão de <a href="http://www.exame.com.br/topicos/dolar" target="_blank"><strong>dólares</strong></a> por ano):<span id="more-163"></span></p>

<h2>3 &#8211; Cargill</h2>
<p>Sim, acredite, a gigante Cargill é uma empresa familiar e figura entre as três maiores dos Estados Unidos. Com receita anual de 107,8 bilhões de dólares, a companhia nasceu de uma instalação de armazenamento de grãos em 1865.</p>
<p>Seu atual CEO, Gregory Page, é o primeiro da história da companhia a não ser membro da família Cargill. O executivo está nesta função desde 2007.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>1º Carlos Slim Helú e família</h2>
<p>São Paulo - Carlos Slim liderou o ranking em 2010 com uma fortuna de 53,5 bilhões de dólares. Nesse ano, suas economias foram avaliadas pela Forbes em 74 bilhões de dólares. Ele conseguiu somar 20,5 bilhões de dólares ao seu patrimônio em um ano.</p>
<p>Slim começou a trajetória de sucesso com uma fábrica de refrigerantes. Hoje, o magnata é dono de mais de 200 empresas espalhadas pelo México. Além da América Móvil, de onde vem cerca de 62% de sua fortuna, o portfólio inclui companhias aéreas, bancos, restaurantes, construtoras, participações em lojas de departamento e até no jornal The New York Times.<span id="more-159"></span></p>
<h2>2º Bill Gates</h2>
<p>São Paulo &#8211; O fundador da Microsoft ocupou o posto de homem mais rico do mundo durante 14 anos. Em 2008 ele passou para o segundo lugar mas voltou a liderar em 2009 &#8211; para manter-se em segundo desde 2010. Nesse ano, sua fortuna é estimada pela Forbes em 56 bilhões de dólares, cerca de 3 bilhões de dólares superior ao valor de 2010.</p>
<p>Além da Microsoft, os investimentos do americano Bill Gates incluem os hotéis Four Seasons e a Televisa. Gates obtém cerca de 70% da sua fortuna com os negócios fora da Microsoft. O empresário afastou-se das obrigações diárias na empresa para dedicar-se à filantropia na Fundação Bill &amp; Melinda Gates – voltada para educação e desenvolvimento de vacinas.</p>
<h2>3º Warren Buffett</h2>
<p>São Paulo - Com uma fortuna estimada em 50 bilhões de dólares, o  megainvestidor americano Warren Buffett, ocupa o terceiro lugar na lista dos mais ricos do mundo. Assim como Bill Gattes, Buffett somou 3 bilhões de dólares à sua fortuna entre os rankings.</p>
<p>Depois de assumir o controle da fábrica têxtil Berkshire Hathaway em 1965, Buffett passou a usá-la para investir em ações. Assim como Bill Gates, ele também investe em filantropia, e prometeu reservar 99% de seu capital à caridade.</p>
<h2>4º Bernard Arnault</h2>
<p>São Paulo - O empresário francês Bernard Arnault saltou da 7ª posição no ranking de 2010 para a 4ª em 2011. Sua fortuna também aumentou consideravelmente, passando de 27,5 bilhões de dólares no ano passado para 41 bilhões de dólares na última lista da Forbes.</p>
<p>Arnault é fundador e CEO do grupo LVMH, conglomerado que reúne as marcas Louis Vuitton, Dior, Moet &amp; Chandon e – desde a semana passada – Bulgari.</p>
<p>Arnault possui outros negócios além do conglomerado de luxo, entre eles uma operadora de turismo (a Go Voyage), uma fábrica de iates (Royal Van Lent) e uma participação na rede de supermercados Carrefour.</p>
<h2>5º Larry Ellison</h2>
<p>São Paulo &#8211; Ellison construiu a própria fortuna – estimada em 39,5 bilhões de dólares – com a Oracle, a terceira maior produtora mundial de software. Em 2011, ele ocupa a 5ª posição no ranking de bilionários da Forbes. No ranking anterior ele havia obtido a 6ª posição. Entre um ranking e outro, sua fortuna cresceu 11,5 bilhões de dólares.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>E ai, já começou a pensar no seu Plano de Marketing QUEBRA TUDO para 2012?</p>
<p>O meu palpite é que você nem começou a pensar nesse assunto.</p>
<p>Acertei?</p>
<p>O lado bom da coisa é que você pode começar a pensar nesse assunto agora mesmo levando em conta algumas idéias de marketing que acredito que você tem que levar em conta para 2012.</p>
<p><span id="more-155"></span></p>
<p>São idéias estratégias, táticas, pontuais, dê o nome que quiser, mas recomendo colocá-las em prática antes que o mundo acabe para a SUA empresa em 2012.</p>
<p>Aqui vão elas:</p>
<p><strong>1. Fazer negócios com você TEM QUE SER divertido. </strong>A era sissuda de fazer negócios já era. A vida é muito dura para ser levada tão a sério. Clientes, Fornecedores, Funcionários, Parceiros, estão super ANSIOSOS por fazer negócios com seres humanos divertidos, criativos, autênticos, desmascarados e completos. O web site da sua empresa tem que ser divertido, os textos tem que ser divertidos, os folhetos tem que ser divertidos, os VÍDEOS da empresa tem que ser divertidos, o APLICATIVO MOBILE da empresa tem que ser divertido, o atendimento de vendas tem que ser divertido, o ambiente de trabalho tem que ser divertido, as reuniões tem que ser divertidas.</p>
<p>Eu entendo que especialmente no Brasil é difícil criar um ambiente divertido sem perder o profissionalismo. Você oferece a mão, a galera pega o braço, mas ainda assim, se em paralelo você aplicar metas, métricas de performance e objetivos claros de negócios, é possível ter um ambiente divertido dentro do mundo corporativo.</p>
<p>A idéia da DIVERSÃO representa um grande desafio para os marketeiros das empresas. DIVERSÃO não cabe em manuais de uso de marca. Pelo contrário, as DROGAS dos manuais de uso de marca são responsáveis por justamante ENGESSAR a marca da empresa e dar CONTROLE TOTAL para os marketeiros sissudos e ultrapassados das empresas que ainda usa esse tipo de manual e controle.</p>
<p>Se o Google, que é o Google, bagunça com a própria marca quando celebra alguma data especial, por que você, que nem de perto é uma Google, é rabugento com a sua marquinha???</p>
<p>DEIXA TODO MUNDO SE DIVERTIR com a marca da empresa!!!</p>
<p>O MARKETING TEM QUE SER DIVERTIDO!</p>
<p><strong>2. A sua empresa tem que entrar na Era do Vídeo! </strong>17% de todas as televisões vendidas no Brasil em 2011 serão TVs com conexão a internet. Estima-se que até 2015 75% das televisões vendidas terão acesso a internet. Imagina o que vai acontecer com a televisão &amp; internet quando a Apple lancar a AppleTV no ano que vem….</p>
<p>Em 2013, 90% de todo o tráfego na web será VÍDEO. Os vídeos do YouTube tiveram mais de 3,5 bilhões de visualizações no mês passado, um crescimento de 500 milhões em apenas seis meses.</p>
<p>REVOLUTION TOTAL!!!</p>
<p>A rede bobo tá danada! A bicha terá que dividir a atenção da sua audiência com o YouTube, a Netflix, o TED, o Direto das Trincheiras, e, por que não, com o programa de vídeos da sua empresa?</p>
<p>Uma pessoa lê, dez escutam música, mil assistem vídeos.</p>
<p>Vídeo é um recurso de marketing muito poderoso e até pouco tempo atrás restrito a meia dúzia de produtores e canais globais.</p>
<p>Essa era já era.</p>
<p>Hoje existem centenas de estúdios e profissionais de vídeos disponíveis para te ajudar a criar a BIZREVOLUTION.tv da sua empresa.</p>
<p>Você PRECISA entrar na era do vídeo. Vídeo é Viral, Vídeo é Divertido, Vídeo é Poderoso!</p>
<p>Você PRECISA fazer vídeos de testemunhais de clientes, casos de sucesso, palestras técnicas, apresentações e demonstrações de produtos, resenhas de produtos, entrevistas com especialistas, análises de tendências, dicas sobre como fazer as coisas, enfim, você precisa entrar na era do vídeo.</p>
<p>Tá esperando o quê?</p>
<p><strong>3. Chega de muros, chega de paranóia, a sua Empresa tem que ser Social! </strong>Nós somos a rede de relacionamentos que conseguimos formar. Quanto maiores forem as redes de relacionamentos dos funcionários da sua empresa, maiores serão as oportunidades de negócios que a sua empresa terá.</p>
<p>Em 2012, a sua empresa PRECISA incentivar e premiar a sociabilidade dos seus funcionários.</p>
<p>Em 2012, não permita apenas que a galera use as redes sociais durante o horário de trabalho, mas premie aqueles que fizerem o melhor uso das redes sociais.</p>
<p>Premie o funcionário que apresentar o maior crescimento em número de seguidores da sua marca pessoal, premie o funcionário que melhor engajar os clientes da empresa nas suas redes sociais pessoais, premie o funcionário que tiver o maior número de comentários no texto que escreveu e publicou no blog da empresa, premie o funcionário que obter o maior número de &#8220;likes&#8221; na Facebook.</p>
<p>Premie o funcionário que der as caras para bater nos vídeos da empresa, premie o funcionário que transformar os relacionamentos virtuais que levantou em relacionamentos cara-a-cara.</p>
<p>Em 2012, premie o funcionário que participar do maior número de eventos presenciais ou on-line, premie o funcionário mais sociável.</p>
<p>Pessoas compram de pessoas, não de empresas. Trabalho duro em 2012 para deixar claro para os clientes que a sua empresa é formada por seres humanos que adoram interagir com outros seres humanos.</p>
<p><strong>4. Meça a Satisfação do Usuário, e não a Satisfação do Consumidor. </strong>Para muita gente o mundo dos negócios é a arena do toma lá dá cá, tipo &#8220;Se não vai comprar nada, cai fora&#8221;.</p>
<p>Dá para contar nos dedos de uma mão e ainda vão sobrar muitos dedos, as empresas que incentivam os seus consumidores a se tornarem usuárias dos serviços da empresa.</p>
<p>Explico.</p>
<p>A grande maioria das empresas quer apenas que o consumidor consuma a droga do produto que vendem e caiam fora o mais rápido possível.</p>
<p>Não existem sofás e cadeiras para você relaxar dentro das lojas de varejo. Não existem conteúdo relevante dentro dos web sites das empresas.</p>
<p>Ninguém faz esforço nenhum para fazer você permanecer na loja depois que comprou!</p>
<p>Ao terminar a sua refeição em 95% dos restaurantes que tem por ai, você é imediatamente convidado a se retirar para livrar a mesa para o próximo CONSUMIDOR.</p>
<p>No Frans Café, por exemplo, não existe uma única maldita tomada de energia elétrica para o consumidor plugar o seu notebook enquanto consome o seu cafezinho. A Starbucks, por outro lado, oferece uma dúzia de tomadas em seus restaurantes.</p>
<p>A idéia aqui é criar situações online ou offline que incentivem a permanência do seu cliente DENTRO da sua empresa.</p>
<p>As agências de propaganda, escritórios de advocacia, engenharia ou mesmo contabilidade, poderiam criar a SALA DO CLIENTE, e incentivá-los a trabalhar de lá mesmo; as lojas de varejo poderiam oferecer eventos e palestras para incentivar o seu cliente a permanecer mais tempo dentro das lojas; as empresas poderiam fazer uso da sua Fan Page na Facebook para criar um espaço de troca de idéias; as equipes de vendas devem ser treinadas a fazerem perguntas que façam o cliente pensar e não apenas a responder secamente às perguntas dos clientes.</p>
<p>Em 2012, você deveria medir a quantidade de tempo que o seu cliente permanece em contato com você, e não apenas o número de transações.</p>
<p><strong>5. CRM feito pelo Cliente. </strong>Para muitos vendedores e marketeiros que tem por ai, CRM ainda significa Conselho Regional de Medicina.</p>
<p>Ninguém usa software de CRM no Brasil. É uma vergonha. As razões são diversas: desconhecimento da matéria, boicote da força de vendas, falta de planejamento de vendas e muito mais.</p>
<p>Em 2012 eu recomendo a você adotar uma nova estratégia com relação a CRM: incentive o próprio cliente a manter atualizado o seu próprio &#8220;cadastro&#8221;.</p>
<p>Se você trabalha com clientes-pessoas físicas, incentive o cliente a usar o Foursquare. Ao fazer o &#8220;check-in&#8221; na sua empresa no Foursquare, o cliente automaticamente deixa sua marca digital com todos os seus dados no seu banco de dados.</p>
<p>Se você trabalha com clientes-pessoas jurídicas, recheie o seu web site com diferentes formulários que capturam diferentes dados dos seus clientes em troca de download de e-books, vídeos, artigos e muito mais.</p>
<p>Chega de esperar pela boa vontade dos vendedores. Deixe o cliente te ajudar.</p>
<p><strong>6. Funcionários e Clientes como uma extensão do departamento de marketing da empresa.</strong> O que pensa o seu cliente? Quais são as suas necessidades? Quais são os seus objetivos?</p>
<p>Parece coisa de maluco mas apenas meia dúzia de empresas sabe quais serão as necessidades dos seus clientes em 2012.</p>
<p>Em 2012 você precisa trazer a turma que influencia o seu negócio &#8211; clientes e funcionários &#8211; para dentro do departamento de marketing.</p>
<p>Em 2012 compartilhe documentos &#8220;secretos&#8221; com clientes-chaves, formente uma comunidade fechada com a participação de clientes estratégicos, permita a livre expressão de feedbacks positivos e negativos sobre a sua empresa, deixe os seus clientes participarem do processo de decisão de inclusão de novos produtos e serviços.</p>
<p>Em 2012 transforme os funcionários da empresa em blogueiros, twiteiros, videomakers e ombudsman, mas ACIMA DE TUDO, crie situações transparentes onde os funcionários podem compartilhar livremente todas as suas idéias sobre o desenvolvimento da empresa.</p>
<p>Em 2012 use as redes sociais e a web para te ajudar a definir o que é a sua empresa, quais produtos você deve vender, quais serviços você deve oferecer.</p>
<p>Marketing é muito importante para ficar restrito apenas a um departamento da empresa.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Se você tem dúvidas de que os blogs são um negócio extremamente rentável, basta dar uma olhada no valor da compra do Huffington Post feita pela AOL no início deste ano: US$ 300 milhões.</p>
<p>O site 24/7 Wall St. fez um ranking dos 25 blogs mais valiosos dos EUA. Os valores foram baseados em diversos fatores.<span id="more-151"></span></p>
<table>
<tbody>

<td>Ben Huh, criador da Cheezburger Network</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>O primeiro é a combinação de receita e lucros. São considerados audiência (medida pela empresa Quantcast), as receitas de publicidade, venda de assinaturas, e as conferências da empresa &#8211;que são às vezes as operações mais lucrativas de alguns blogs.</p>
<p>Outro fator considerado é o quanto é difícil para a mídia tradicional concorrer com o blog em questão. O &#8220;risco fundador&#8221; também é outro ponto analisado. Ou seja, o quão danificada ficaria a imagem do blog se ele perdesse seu fundador.</p>
<p>Apenas blogs independentes, aqueles que não pertencem a grandes conglomerados de mídia, foram considerados.</p>
<p>Veja abaixo os dez primeiros da lista:</p>
<ul>
<li>1. <a href="http://gawker.com/" target="_blank">Gawker</a> : US$ 318 milhões</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>2. <a href="http://drudgereport.com/" target="_blank">Drudge</a> : US$ 93 milhões</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>3. <a href="http://www.popsugar.com/" target="_blank">PopSugar Media Network</a> : US$ 64 milhões</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>4. <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/" target="_blank">SBNation</a> : US$ 56 milhões</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>5. <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/" target="_blank">Macrumors</a> : US$ 52 milhões</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>6. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/" target="_blank">Business Insider</a> : US$ 45 milhões</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>7. <a href="http://seekingalpha.com/" target="_blank">Seeking Alpha</a> : US$ 45 milhões</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>8. <a href="http://icanhascheezburger.com/" target="_blank">Cheezburger Network</a> : US$ 41 milhões</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>9. <a href="http://www.mashable.com/" target="_blank">Mashable</a> : US$ 39 milhões</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>10. <a href="http://www.gigaom.com/" target="_blank">GigaOm</a> : US$ 32 milhões</li>

<p>At Under30CEO we think big. We recently published a list of our <a href="http://under30ceo.com/top-50-most-motivational-people-on-the-web/">Top 50 Most Motivational People</a> on the web and things got a little nuts. The article created incredible buzz all over the web and most importantly we fired up our audience to go out and make something happen.</p>
<p>As young entrepreneurs it’s important that we keep swinging for the fences. Super successful investors like Ron Conway say they’d rather invest in an 18 year old Mark Zuckerberg than a 31 year old seasoned entrepreneur because the young Sean Parker types truly think the sky is the limit. At Under30CEO we’re going to carry that mentality into the interviews that we conduct on the site.</p>
<p>The list below is the most incredible people to learn from as entrepreneurs and we intend to interview them all…somehow.  I<em>f you can land us any of these interviews email: matt @under30ceo.com and we’ll give you the credit! </em><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Introducing our Top 100 Entrepreneurs to Learn from </strong>and their best interviews from around the web…<em><span id="more-147"></span><br />

<p>Did you know that there are only 7 basic plotlines throughout all story telling?</p>
<p>Christopher Booker author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0826480373/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=tommyismyname-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0826480373">The 7 basic plots</a> distills all of story telling to 7 basic archetypes that make up all of storytelling throughout history.</p>
<p>The 7 story archetypes are:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Overcoming the Monster</strong></li>
<li><strong>Rags to Riches</strong></li>
<li><strong>The Quest</strong></li>
<li><strong>Voyage and Return</strong></li>
<li><strong>Comedy</strong></li>
<li><strong>Tragedy</strong></li>
<li><strong>Rebirth</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Now why do I tell you this? How does this possibly relate to marketing?</p>
<p>Well, actually it has everything to do with marketing. At some point in all of our lives, we experience to some degree one of these 7 archetypal plot lines, that&#8217;s why they exist. <span id="more-144"></span></p>
<p>And in each of these types of stories, there are individual characters that play a huge role in the development to how that chapter in your personal story plays out.</p>
<p>Ever meet the wise stranger that gave sagely advice out of nowhere when you needed it the most? Or have you found an unlikely ally that helped you overcome overwhelming odds?</p>
<p>The reason I bring this up is because your customers are going through one of these plot lines at this very moment in their lives. Which one is it?</p>
<p><strong>Overcoming the Monster </strong></p>
<p>In the stories, this is where the hero must destroy the monster to restore balance to the world. In the real world this could be overcoming an addiction, fighting off a pervvy boss, debt, beating an illness or any thing else that requires something to be defeated for the hero (your customer) to win.</p>
<p>If your product or service falls into this category, you should look to play the role of either the sidekick that will stick with them to the very end, or the weapon that will deliver the final blow.</p>
<p><strong>Rags to Riches</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>In the stories, this is where a modest and moral but downtrodden character achieves a happy ending when their natural talents are displayed to the world at large. In the real world this applies to anyone with an undeniably incredible talent who wants to break through and be successful. This could apply to photographers, musicians, artists, and yes even bloggers.</p>
<p>If your product or service falls into this category, you should look to play the role of the &#8220;Fairy Godmother&#8221; that gives the hero just enough to get to the right place and the right time. (this is where many coaches fail by trying to overdo it. A good coach is meant to pull the best out of their pupil, not do it for them)</p>
<p><strong>The Quest</strong></p>
<p>The hero, often accompanied by sidekicks, travels in search of a priceless treasure and must defeat evil and overcome powerful odds, and ends when he gets both the treasure and the girl. The <em>Odyssey</em> is a classic example of this kind of story.</p>
<p>Often &#8220;Quest&#8221; stories make our hero(s) encounter a variety of challenges that are all seemingly unrelated. In the real world, this is very much the story of every beginning entrepreneurial journey.</p>
<p>Unlike &#8220;Rags to Riches&#8221; if your ideal customer is on &#8220;The Quest&#8221; you&#8217;re in it for the long haul. Your product or service is meant to be a long lasting tool that can be used along the way, or ongoing companionship (such as a coach) you should look to ensure your services can withstand the test of time, and you will overcome any odds with your customer no matter how daunting they might be.</p>
<p><strong>Voyage and Return</strong></p>
<p>Stories of normal protagonists who are suddenly thrust into strange and alien worlds and must make their way back to normal life once more. Examples of this are Alice in Wonderland, or Cast Away.</p>
<p>In the real world, you can take this a couple of ways. If your ideal customer travels a lot, your products or services can assist them on their travels (think iPad, sleep pillows, convenient luggage, or comfortable travel clothing). Another way you can think of this is assisting your customer once they&#8217;ve arrived at their destination (think Language learning software, cultural ettiqute training, photo guides, maps, and tours)</p>
<p><strong>Comedy</strong></p>
<p>Not in the &#8220;Haha&#8221; that&#8217;s funny kind of way, but more in the Shakespeare kind of way. The plot of a comedy involves some kind of confusion that must be resolved before the hero and heroine can be united in love.</p>
<p>In the real world, your customer can&#8217;t seem to get out of their own way. They&#8217;re constantly finding themselves in one misadventure after another and could use a little assistance to be lead on the right path. It&#8217;s frustrating for the customer, but when you take a step back and listen to everything they&#8217;ve gone through, it really can be funny.</p>
<p>As a service provider, you have to be willing to thrust yourself in the middle of everything to help them untangle the situation. Dating coaches and matchmakers are certainly familiar with this, but also style coaches, business consultants, and even to some extent personal trainers.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not a coach and you produce a product, suplimental information that goes along with your product will go a long way.</p>
<p>For example, my fiancee and I are going to be moving into a house soon, and we were looking at different paint colors the other day. Instead of thinking we could do everything ourselves, we picked up several of the free paint guides that give you a really good idea on what colors will go well together, and what techniques to use. Another example is the &#8220;How to tie a tie&#8221; guide that was put out by express a few years back, and Urban Outfitters &#8220;Music Monday&#8221; where you can download 5 free songs every Monday. (because it&#8217;s not enough to just dress like a hipster, you need to know the music too)</p>
<p><strong>Tragedy </strong></p>
<p>As a rule, the consequences of human overreaching and egotism. <em>Julius Caesar, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet etc&#8230;</em> Stories from this category are usually very self evident.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, in the real world there has to be a market for this as well too. Divorce lawyers, grief counselors, self help books, and any one who helps their customer get through an extremely difficult time. Because this is so self evident, it&#8217;s not difficult to identify when your customer is going through a tragedy.</p>
<p><strong>Rebirth</strong></p>
<p>This story archetype almost always has a threatening shadow that seems nearly victorious until a sequence of fortuitous (or even miraculous) events lead to redemption and rebirth, and the restoration of a happier world. The best example of this is &#8220;A Christmas Carol&#8221; where Scrooge much change his ways in order to not be hated and have a much better impact on the world around him.</p>
<p>In the real world, just like in &#8220;A Christmas Carol&#8221;, your customers may not even know a problem exists until you show them just how bad what they&#8217;re doing can be.</p>
<p>A good business coach will initiate the &#8220;Rebirth&#8221; process by showing owners how what they&#8217;re doing can become a serious detriment to their company, by shining a spotlight on the problem they may have been ignoring, then spelling out the realities of what will happen if this doesn&#8217;t get fixed. Doctors do this all the time when a patient has an issue they have been ignoring and are starting to display symptoms for.</p>
<p>The reality is, rebirth is usually at the beginning of epic adventures like &#8220;The Quest&#8221; or &#8220;Rags to Riches&#8221; or even &#8220;Voyage and Return&#8221; but most people aren&#8217;t taking the time to push their customers towards being reborn.</p>
<p>But just like Scrooge needed a push to see exactly how it was he affected the world around him, customers sometimes need a push to realize &#8220;Something has to change, there is a better way&#8221; Ultimately once the &#8220;Rebirth&#8221; story has been initiated, everything else becomes that much easier, because they&#8217;re more open to long lasting change.</p>
<p><strong>Understand these archetypes</strong>, and contemplate where your customers are in their lives at this moment. Knowing where they are will help you strengthen the role you&#8217;re supposed to play in their lives and further define how you can help them along their journey.</p>
