Talk Triggers (with Jay Baer)

When you think of the restaurant The Cheesecake Factory, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Probably the menu, right? Or how about Doubletree Hotels? The chocolate chip cookie? These are examples of what Jay Baer calls “Talk Triggers”, and they are essential in creating effective word of mouth marketing about your product or service.

Whether you are a solopreneur, a freelancer, or run a large company or department, understanding how word of mouth marketing is critical if you want to spread your ideas.

On this episode, Jay talks with Todd Henry about his new book Talk Triggers, and how to build mechanisms into your product and service to make them spread like wildfire.
