Think with Mark W. Schaefer's tools

12 Stations through Schaefer's two books, from building a name the right people know to marketing that customers lead, ending in a one-page plan for a more human company.

This is not the personal-brand road, which mixes Known with four other books. We connect Schaefer's two: Known's steps to being recognised in a field, from a space and steady content to an audience that acts, then Marketing Rebellion's case that customers now lead marketing and the most human company wins. The order is a teaching order designed by BookYol, not the author's own.

    A known name, a listening company

    Your space, your content form and your rhythm are written down, and you count the people who act, not those who watch. You have read what customers say about you where you do not control the conversation, and cut one message they never asked for.

    Destination: a plan for a more human company

    A one-page plan is written: your space and rhythm, one practice to stop and one to start, and three numbers that count what customers say and do, each line checked against whether you would be comfortable if a customer read it.

The BookYol LetterTwo letters a week

For the road

The road is daily. The letter is weekly.

While you walk Think with Mark W. Schaefer's tools, two letters a week widen the view: a big idea on Tuesday and a small experiment on Friday, drawn from the same shelf of books.

Tuesday

The Big Idea

One idea that challenges an assumption, explained properly, with its source.

Friday

The Small Experiment

One small thing to try before Monday, so the idea becomes something you do.
