I am sitting in a room at NAMS with 20 people in a masterminding discussion with Mark Hendricks. Talk about “business savvy” – Mark Hendricks is truly an amazing guy and incredibly insightful. Mark Hendricks has probably already forgotten more about being in business on the internet than I will ever learn.
The conversation today was about many things, including the “True Path” and whether or not Social Media is on the true path.
Mark talked about managing relationships on the internet. Relationships on the internet go through stages: Know Me, Like Me, Trust Me and about “Fish Jumping into the Boat.” You just had to be there to get a full appreciation for Mark and the genius therein.
We spent some really good time talking about Benjamin Franklin and how that has impacted Mark’s business plan.
Best quote from Mark (there were many): “I’m a really good test dummy.”
Mark is not a huge fan of the hyped product launch model – he is more about delivering value over time, and encouraged us all to deliver real value to our customers. He would rather have a lifetime customer than a quick buck and told us to avoid the “she got the coal mine and I got the shaft” model.
Great time with Mark – you can find him on Twitter @MarkHendricks. My masterminding and 1:1 time with Mark was one of the real highlights of my trip to NAMS.
