  • Tell ten people. If they don’t tell the others, make a better product.
  • Creating the conditions for the word to spread is the job of the marketer.
  • Customer service is free.
  • “You’ll pay a lot but get more than you paid for,” is a useful motto.
  • Act like people are watching. They are.
