on Demand and The
C.A.R.E. Profile
"Different isn't always better. But better is always different."
--Marshall Thurber
An Advancer sold this concept to Recycled, the giant card company, by sending just one fax.
LAUGH
Once the audience laughs at SuckCess (the card series above), they're open to the message.
A big idea needs an Advancer to get it done. Most companies have these people (15% of the population) buried n the wrong work.
That leaves Creators (35%) and Refiners (25%) locked in endless conflict, killing each other's ideas. The result?
Nothing gets done.
KILLER IDEAS, NOT IDEA KILLERS
In his highly entertaining style, Allen Fahden demonstrates the way to have a big idea.
His one-book bookstore got him in People magazine and on network TV. SuckCess has sold as cards, mugs, t-shirts and hats.
Yet, nothing would have happened without the right people moving things forward.
