Power
Polling: How to Win Elections and Customers
If you love proven money-making strategies --
then wow! You'll love this book, it's called, "The Power of the
Vote."It's written by Douglas Schoen, and it's especially
empowering in an area that is so important, but often so
misunderstood --- Politics!
If you say, "Politics aren't for me," then you're
in for a surprise…
Business people and entrepreneurs should not
ignore politics, because there is one element of politics that
is absolutely ESSENTIAL to success...and that is Polling.
There is "money-making power" in the ability to listen to your
customers, because THEY ARE YOUR VOTERS. Finding out what they
want and then giving it to them is like magic.
The techniques and tactics of political polling
are relevant in almost every industry. Behind the
carefully crafted speeches and professionally edited
commercials, is a political campaign strategist who above all
knows what it takes to win the hearts and minds of voters.
In the last few decades, technology has brought
about a huge shift in the tools available to such strategists,
transforming their jobs and increasing their effectiveness.
Few people understand this better than Douglas E. Schoen,
political strategist, and author of "The Power of the Vote."
. As he explains it, "Instead of simply setting
strategy at the beginning of a campaign, polls [can] now be
used to evaluate tactics and determining the campaign's message
and strategy on a day-by-day basis."
Before you can get useful data, you have to ask
good questions. This means that first of all, your questions
must be understandable for people, even if they don't have much
education. Next, you need to ask questions that will test your
marketing messages. And last, you have to give people real
choices. Schoen says, "If you just ask people whether they like
famine and poverty, of course people are going to say they
don't. On the other hand, are they willing to pay higher taxes
for programs that will help the poor?"
Doug Schoen tells how polling helped AOL
circumvent a customer relations disaster and achieve previously
unparalleled success by advising founder Steve Case to
capitalize on his personal appeal, publicly acknowledge AOL's
shortcomings, and present a new plan to upgrade the quality of
their network. Polling also helped craft one of the most
effective marketing campaigns in American corporate history for
the launch of Eli Lilly's anti-depression drug Prozac.
This book is the ONLY book available today to
help you understand the power of polling from person recognized
as being the father of modern polling.
