March 07, 2013Viral marketing secrets revealed by Ivy League professor Jonah Berger
What’s the secret to successful viral marketing?
An Ivy League professor, Jonah Berger, released a new book this week called Contagious: Why Things Catch On<
And in this book, he reveals a simple framework that you can use to make your content and products go viral.
(That means you'll be able to entice your readers and customers to talk about your stuff!)
After appearing on Good Morning America and NPR, he's now a guest on the Social Triggers podcast (an obvious next step, right? :-D)
Listen to the podcast here:
Contagious: Why Things Catch On
A couple of years ago, I stumbled on some of Jonah Berger’s work while scouring through the academic journal databases.
And I even featured him on Social Triggers (I shared his research behind creating viral content and how bad press helps sales).
But today, on this episode of Social Triggers Insider, I asked him to reveal some of his new and BEST ideas about generating word of mouth for your business.
Download audio file (13-Social-Triggers-Viral-marketing-secrets-revealed-by-Ivy-League-professor-jonah-berger.mp3)
The one thing I want you to pay close attention to is the framework he developed for what he calls “Social Currency.” It’s a 3-step framework, and he covers it in complete detail on this podcast.
And if you dig it, help Jonah Berger out by sharing this article on Facebook and Twitter. You may even find that your friends and colleagues will thank you for introducing them to this podcast!

What next?
Now I’d like you to do two things:
If you think what you learned will help you get more people to your business, leave a comment letting me know how. The one thing I LOVE about research like this is that it’s insanely practical. And I love to hear how entrepreneurs like you plan to use it.
If you’d like to learn more about Jonah Berger’s book, pick up a copy of it on Amazon (aff). No hard sell here because the book truly sells itself.
(If you’re curious, there are 6 main things that you must learn to make your products and content go viral. We covered Social Currency and Practical value on the podcast. But in his book, he goes over the 4 other things: Triggers, Emotion, Public, and Stories).
Also, if you want to say Hello to Jonah Berger, you can hit him up on Twitter right here. Or visit his website right here.

January 03, 2013To Sell is Human by Dan Pink (Free Audio Download)
This guy spits in the face of “old school sales tactics,” and I’m happy that he did it.
Here’s the deal:
We live in a world where we’re all in sales. You. Me. Everyone.
Whether we’re trying to convince our bosses to give us a raise, persuade our children to do their homework, enticing investors to part with their money, or turning a prospect into a client, we’re all in the selling business now.
The problem is there are some sleazebag salesman that give honest people like you and me a bad rep.
What’s weird is, I thought these hucksters were just bad people, but I’ve come to discover otherwise. It turns out that some old school sales trainers actually teach their students to lie to get the sale…
Head meet desk.
Introducing Dan Pink’s “To Sell is Human”
That’s where “this guy” comes in though…
Meet my man Dan Pink. He’s the New York Times best-selling author of books like Whole New Mind and Drive, and he’s got one of the most viewed TED talks on the internet. (He made science go viral)
Well, he’s got a new book that just came out that slams these old school sales tactics, and he shows us THE NEW WAY to sell without being sleazy, slimy, or salesy…
…And I persuaded him to reveal some of his TOP TIPS for selling in 2013 and beyond on my podcast Social Triggers Insider.
Download audio file (12-Social-Triggers-The-Right-and-Wrong-Way-To-Sell-In-2013-with-Dan-Pink.mp3)
Note: The bonuses are no longer available, but we still recommend you pick up the book. As I mention on the podcast, you’ll learn the ins and outs of selling and more.
Quick Question For You…
Have you ever had a HORRIBLE—or FANTASTIC—experience with a salesperson?
Share your story in the comments.
What made it great? What made it bad? Be as specific as possible, but please refrain from mentioning specific company names.
Also, if you liked what Dan Pink had to say, I suggest you grab his new book “To Sell is Human” on Amazon right here (it’s 45% off) (aff)
What do we cover in this master class?
The 3 myths of becoming great at sales (hint: there’s no “selling gene”)
The definitive answer to “Is selling ethical?”
How to Close More Deals Without Compromising Your Values
The secret behind selling confidently (Warning: if you don’t, you’re toast)
The NEW “ABCs” of Selling (and How to Take Advantage Of Them)
The Contrast Principle (It’s The Secret Weapon Of Great Persuaders)
The Big Problem With Being An “Empathetic Salesman” (and What To Do Instead).

June 04, 2012How to Create Great Presentations (tips from the CEO of the top presentation design firm)
If you think, “Derek, I’ll never have to give a presentation,” consider this:
You may have to land a big client, create a compelling sales video, speak at a huge conference, or go on a job interview…
…It doesn’t matter. Each scenario requires a presentation, and if you want to get what you want, you better know how to nail it.
Question is how?
How to Create Presentations that Resonate
What’s the difference between a great and bad presentation?
You might think it’s all about the content, and while that may “sound” right, it’s false.
I know this because I learned it the hard way. Back when I started speaking, I was a smart guy with a mic on a stage. And while my information was solid, people rated my first ever presentation as “average.”
Average? Me? No…
I knew my content was top notch. I knew that everyone could benefit from what I shared. I knew if people implemented one tip they’d see a surge in sales.
But I didn’t ignore the feedback.
I bought LOADS of books about giving great presentations, watched all of the most popular TED talks, and practiced so much that my neighbors probably thought I was crazy.
Husband: “Why is Derek always talking to himself at 2am?”
Wife: “I don’t know, but lock the doors.”
And while I got MUCH better, I can tell you this: my presentation skills “tipped” from good to great after I stumbled on Nancy Duarte’s work.
I’m going share exactly what I learned in just a minute…
But first, no joke! A few months after I read one of her books, I gave a presentation and someone walked up to me and said “Derek, you were easily the best, most practical presentation at this conference.”
Then, another person said “I saw you speak and loved it. Rock on for that presentation. It’s one that sticks out for me.”
To say I’m thankful Nancy’s work is an understatement. Over the last 18 months I’ve been booked for more than 20 speaking engagements, and more conference directors keep referring me to other conference directors as an in-demand speaker about online marketing.
How cool is that?
But now it’s time I share the wealth… It’s now time that you learn exactly what I learned to create great presentations.
Instead of rehashing someone else’s work, I thought, “Hrm. I wonder if I could convince Nancy Duarte to come join me on Social Triggers Insider?”
Well, she said yes!
Introducing Nancy Duarte, CEO of Duarte Design
In the below discussion, Nancy Duarte spills all of her best tips about giving great presentations. These tips apply to any kind of presentation. Job interviews. Client meetings. Big conferences. And yes, even blog posts. You’re going to love it.

Here’s a list of his books:

2. The Upside of Irrationality (In this podcast, we cover a ton of what he covers in this book, but it’s still a worthwhile read).
3. The Honest Truth About Dishonesty (This is his new, yet to be released book, which I haven’t read yet, but I hope to get my hands on it soon…)
Note: When you buy those books through my link, I earn a commission. It’s paltry, but I’m including the link for one main reason: I’m curious to see how many people listen to my book recommendations.
