Thank you, thank you, thank you. We're all still digesting yesterday's presentation and even tried some of it out at a client meeting today. Focusing on emotion and psychographics to help tell their story is going to make a big difference. The only complaint we got about yesterday's session is that we didn't allow enough time! There was so much value added.  So much to think about.
