That's some pretty crafty marketing right there. No idea why, but that's the first example that came to my mind to separate good from great. How's that for some thought provocation?! 1Kevin Spacey, The Usual Suspects The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making the world believe that he didn’t exist(1).

I definitely agree that the things that separate good from great are very little things, which is why they're often overlooked. And to your point, I'm with you man. The easiest way to sell more is to target people who you know are interested in your product, whether that be people who have bought from you, visited your site, or subscribed to a newsletter. I'm enjoying these additions to what makes a great marketer, keep them coming! Jason, thanks for taking the time to drop a comment!

Just off into white abyss-like border space. :P Ummm…genius…I don’t think the arrow points to you…at least not on my computer. Just off into white abyss-like border space. :P

If I sign up to receive exclusive product news and updates and you don't send me a message in the next few days, I'm going to forget about you. If I'm a member of your community or subscriber to your email newsletter and I click to buy and then stop at checkout for some reason and you don't follow up with me, then you're missing out. If you have my birthday, why not send me a special offer then? If I take the time to write about your brand online and you don't engage me, you're missing the boat. Sometimes it's the little things that separate great and good marketers. Frequency and timing of communications are often overlooked.

But to add to what Stuart said, a little diddy from Vince Lombardi: "We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible." Well said.

You have to fail in order to do truly great things, otherwise how else will you learn how to get there? A willingness to experiment and be completely wrong separates the great from the good.
