How to Create a Focused House List Over the last few years, the author has developed a technique for building excellent prospecting lists without spending a nickel with list brokers, or using up unjustifiable amounts of time. These lists are almost laser-precise in terms of the depth and breadth of personal information about each prospect they contain. With them, he can send out letters, make phone calls, or deploy email campaigns that leaves recipients convinced that the outreach was a one-off, sent just to them. Here, in this three-article series, he details the specific steps and technologies. Every company needs to adapt this technique uniquely. But the general approach—and often the specific techniques—has broad applicability. Get the full story. Please note: This article is available to paid subscribers only.

Branding: All You Need Is Love We use the word love a lot when it comes to our favorite brands. Similarly, talk about emotions and successful brands is music to the ears of career-minded professionals who want to get ahead. If it's the emotional brand attributes that are so critical to loyalty, then who better to build this type of loyalty than human beings? We too must inspire loyalty beyond reason if we want to be in control of our careers. Get the full story.

Write Captivating Case Studies in Three Simple Steps You can think of the case study as a cross between the testimonial and the business article. Like the testimonial, the case study features a satisfied customer who "speaks" on your behalf. Like the article, it's structured dramatically, with a clear beginning, middle and end, and holds your audience's attention through the tension of conflict and the anticipation of resolution.

A Note to Readers Counting the Ways Greetings, discerning readers! At our last MarketingProfs "Big Cheese" Management Summit in Santa Barbara, we discussed among other things the passion our readers have for MarketingProfs. And it's true – as of today, MarketingProfs is loved by 160,209 subscribers. In today's newsletter, William Arruda affirms in "Branding: All You Need Is Love" that we use the word love a lot when it comes to our favorite brands. And he suggests a fun little "love" exercise, developed by Jennifer Rice of Mantra Brand Communications. Jennifer typed "I love [brand]" into Google and measured the number of items Google returned. She did this for many well-known brands to see how much we really love them. In Jennifer's experiment, high on the "love list" were Apple, Google, Target and IKEA. Does your own brand inspire love? Check it out – and then count the ways. Until next week, Ann Handley

Getting to Know Google Having greatly benefited from my relationship with Google in the past several years, the author dedicated this article to the search engine superstar. Their friendship hasn't always been rosy. He got to know Google several years back, when it was just a small fish in a big pond. He started to analyze its every move and realized that Google is a fickle, clever and extremely mysterious being. Here are a few things he learned along the way. Get the full story.
