Favorite short story... #EZ.61547 Exp 06-30
The woman in her seventies called police when she
believed her husband, also in his seventies, was dead.
A detective showed up with a couple of uniformed cops
and a medic team.
When they arrived at the house, the woman was standing
over her husband slightly in tears. He was lying on the
carpeted floor in the living room with a wheel chair also
lying on its side next to him.
The medic immediately checked the old man’s pulse and
confirmed he was dead.
The detective, after examining the dead man’s body, stood
up and gently put his hand on the woman’s shoulder.
“Are you all right, ma’am?”
“Yes,” she whimpered, still in tears. “You think you can take
some questions now?”
The woman nodded, still looking as though she couldn’t
believe what had just happened.
“Did he fall out of his wheelchair, ma’am?” the detective asked.
“You might say that,” she replied.
“Is that how he died?” he asked.
“Oh, no,” she quickly replied.
“Oh!” the detective exclaimed. “So you know how he died then?
““Yes,” she said, “he took poison.”
The detective looked at the dead man’s body again. “He took
poison?”, the detective asked surprisingly. “Then why are all
these bruises on his body?
Why does it look like he was knocked from his wheelchair?”
The woman looked exasperated and again shook her teary head,
“I’M SORRY, DETECTIVE. BUT HE DIDN’T WANT TO TAKE IT!”

| The marketing lesson inside a $3.5 million violin #EZ.61122 Exp 06-30
Let me tell you a remarkable story about context, persuasion and how it
applies to just about everything in your business...
On January 12, 2007, a man just outside a subway station in Washington
D.C. and started to play the violin.
He wore a baseball cap. And over the course of 45 minutes, he played
six pieces, including two by Bach and one by Schubert.
Because it was rush hour, it was crowded. Exactly 1,097 people poured
through the station, most of them on their way to work.
According to video footage, three minutes went by before anyone noticed
whatsoever..
