THE EVOLOTION OF BUSINESS PROMOTION PLAN: The Ideal STATE undertakes to regulate social conduct only enough to take violence out of individual competition and to prevent unfairness in personal initiative. Here is a great problem in statehood: How can YOU guarantee peace and quiet in Industry, pay the taxes to support state power, and at the same time prevent taxation from handicapping industry and keep the state from becoming parasitically or tyrannical? THE ANSWER: By joining Sherman Latimer Entertainment STREET TEAMS, getting paid for YOUR sincere effort, and developing a REAL BIZ of Righteousness TEAM of people willing to support YOU by seeing who will pay their monthly STREET TEAM dues in order to make progress, and WHO WILL NOT! Throughout the earlier ages of any world, competition is essential to progressive civilization. There WILL ALWAYS be competition in the MUSIC Industry, even if WE are ALL on the same over-all STREET TEAM and individual members. As the evolution of man progresses, co-operation becomes increasingly effective. In advanced civilization co-operation is more efficient than competition. Early man is stimulated by competition. Early evolution is characterized by the survival of the biologically fit, but later civilizations are the better promoted by intelligent cooperation, understanding fraternity, and spiritual brotherhood. True, Competition in Industry is exceedingly wasteful and highly ineffective, but no attempt to eliminate this economic lost motion should be countenanced if such adjustments entail even the slightest abrogation of any of the basic liberties of the individual. THE PROFIT MOTIVE: Present-day profit-motivated economics is doomed unless motives can be augmented by SERVICE MOTIVES. Ruthless competition based on narrow-minded self interest is ultimately destructive of even those things which it seeks to maintain. Exclusive and self-serving profit motivation is incompatible with Christian ideals in America---much more incompatible with the teaching of our Messiah. In ECONOMICS, PROFIT MOTIVATION is to SERVICE MOTIVATION what fear is to LOVE in RELIGION. But the PROFIT MOTIVE MUST NOT be suddenly destroyed or removed; it keeps many otherwise SLOTHFUL MORTALS hard at work. It is NOT NECESSARY, however, that this social energy arouse be forever selfish in its objectives, because its SELFISH objectives lead to Complete DESTRUCTION of an overall self/ family/ group/ and national idea. The PROFIT MOTIVE of economic activities is altogether base and wholly unworthy of an advanced order of society; nevertheless, it is an indispensable factor throughout the earlier phases of civilization. PROFIT MOTIVATION MUST NOT be taken away from men until they have firmly possessed themselves of superior types of NON-PROFIT MOTIVES for economic striving and social serving---the transcendent urges of superlative wisdom, intriguing brotherhood, and excellency of spiritual attainment. Continued at: http://www.urantia.org --- in Paper 71 Development Of The State - read: The Embryonic State - The Evolution Of Representative Government. PROGRESSIVE CIVILIZATION: Economics, society, and SELF GOVERNMENT SYSTEMS MUST evolve SINCERELY if they are to remain! A Person MUST MORALLY commit themselves to what the TRULY believe to DO! Static conditions (not following the RULES) of an evolutionary world are indicative of decay; only those institutions which MOVE FORWARD with the evolutionary stream persist to evolve and GROW. Nothing UNREAL shall longer exist in this world! The Progressive program of an expanding civilization embraces: 1. Preservation of INDIVIDUAL LIBERTIES. 2. Protection of the home. 3. Promotion of economic security (is what Sherman Latimer Entertainment is doing here, NOW). 4. Prevention of disease. 5. Compulsory education. 6. Compulsory employment. 7. Profitable utilization of leisure. 8. Care of the unfortunate. 9. Race improvement. 10. Promotion of science and ART. 11. Promotion of philosophy---wisdom. 12. Augmentation of cosmic insight---spirituality. Supporting some form of a POLITICAL PARTY! And this PROGRESS IN THE ARTS OF CIVILIZATION leads directly to the realization of the HIGHEST HUMAN and divine goals of mortal endeavor---the social achievement of the BROTHERHOOD OF MAN and the personal status of GOD-Consciousness, which becomes revealed in the supreme desire of EVERY INDIVIDUAL to do the will of the Father in heaven to HELP others, while helping themselves. The Appearance of GENUINE BROTHER HOOD signifies that a social order (Sherman Latimer Entertainment STREET TEAMS) has arrived in which ALL MEN and WOMEN can DELIGHT in bearing one another's burdens in order to help themselves with others; they actually desire to practice the/our GOLDEN RULE! But such an ideal society cannot be realized when either the weak or the WICKED (Gang Bangers/Ballers) lie in wait to take unfair and unholy advantage of those who are chiefly actuated by DEVOTION to the SERVICE of TRUTH for their COMMUNITIES, beauty and goodness. In such a situation we are trying to create...ONLY ONE COURSE IS PRACTICAL: The "GOLDEN RULERS"...of Sherman Latimer Entertainment STREET TEAMS may establish a progressive society in which they live according to their ideals while maintaining an adequate defense against their benighted fellows who might seek either to exploit their pacific predilections or to destroy their advancing CIVILIZATION. Idealism can NEVER survive on an evolving planet if the idealists in each generation permit themselves to be EXTERMINATED by the baser orders of humanity. And here is the GREAT TEST of idealism at Sherman Latimer Entertainment STREET TEAMS: Can an advanced society maintain that MILITARY PREPAREDNESS which renders it secure from all attack by its war loving GANG BANGGING/BALLER neighbors without yielding to the temptation to employ this MILITARY LIKE STRENGTH in OFFENSIVE operations against other peoples for purposes of selfish gain or national aggrandizement? National SURVIVAL demands preparedness, and religious idealism alone can prevent the prostitution of preparedness into aggression. ONLY LOVE, BROTHERHOOD, can prevent the STRONG from oppressing the WEAK! OUR REASON FOR ASKING each Sherman Latimer Entertainment STREET TEAM Member for LIFE-TIME COMMITTMENT is because of EDUCATION. EDUCATION: The Enduring state is founded on CULTURE, DOMINATED BY IDEALS (like this one), and MOTIVATED BY SERVICE. The Purpose of education should be acquirement of SKILL, pursuit of WISDOM, realization of SELFHOOD, and eventually attainment of SPIRITUAL VALUES (by ORGANIZATION MEMBERS commitment). In the Ideal state, education continues throughout life, and philosophy sometimes becomes the chief pursuit of its CITIZENS. The CITIZENS of such a COMMON WEALTH pursue wisdom as an enhancement of insight into the significance of human relations, the meaning of reality, the nobility of values, the goals of living, and the glories of cosmic destiny. Our STREET TEAM Members should get a VISION of a new and higher cultural society. Education will jump to new levels of value with the passing of the purely logistcaltic, militaristic, ego exalting, and success seeking; it must eventually become world-wide, idealistic, self-realizing, and cosmic grasping. EDUCATION recently passed from the control of the CLERGY to that of LAWYERS onto BUSINESSMEN & ENTERPRENUERS. Eventually it MUST be given over to the philosophers and scientists. Teachers must be free beings, real leaders, to the end that philosophy, the search for wisdom, may become the chief educational pursuit. EDUCATION IS THE BUSINESS OF LIVING (SURVIVAL); it must continue throughout a LIFETIME so that mankind may gradually experience the ascending levels of mortal wisdom, which are: 1. The knowledge of things. 2. The realization of meanings. 3. The appreciation of values. 4. The nobility of work---DUTY. 5. The motivation of goals---MORALITY. 6. The love of service---CHARACTER. 7. Cosmic insight---SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT. And then, by means of these achievements, many will ascend to the mortal ultimate of mind attainment, God-consciousness. In the most primitive society THE HORDE IS EVERYTHING; even children are its common property. The evolving FAMILY displaced THE HORDE in child rearing, while the emerging CLANS and TRIBES took its place as the SOCIAL UNIT. SEX HUNGER and MOTHER LOVE establish FAMILY. But REAL GOVERNMENT does not appear until SUPER-FAMILY groups have begun to form. In the PREFAMILY days of THE HORDE, leadership was provided by informally CHOOSEN Individuals. The African Bushman have never progressed beyond this primitive stage; they do not have chiefs in THE HORDE. FAMILIES became UNITED by blood ties in clans, aggregations of kinsmen; and these subsequently evolved into TRIBES, TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES. Warfare and external pressure forced the TRIBAL organization upon the KINSHIP CLANS, but it was COMMERCE and TRADE that held these early and primitive groups together with some degree of internal PEACE. That is why Sherman Latimer uses Wholesale Dealerships geared to each CITIES STREET TEAMS to have at least ONE FLEA MARKET table from all members. The PEACE on EARTH will be promoted far more by international trade organizations like Sherman Latmer Entertainment STREET TEAMS than by all the sentimental sophistry of visionary peace planning. MONEY has become the UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE of modern trade. MODERN SOCIETY is largely held together by the INDUSTRIAL MARKET. The GAIN MOTIVE is a mighty civilizer when augmented by the DESIRE TO SERVE THE CAUSE. In the early ages each TRIBE was surrounded by concentric circles of increasing fear and suspicion; hence it was once the custom to kill all strangers, later on, to enslave them. The old idea of FRIENDSHIP meant adoption into the CLAN; and CLAN MEMBERSHIP was believed to survive death---one of the earliest concepts of eternal life. The REGULAR Media would have YOU thinking the GOOD against the BAD, BUT ARE REALLY promoting the WEAK against the STRONG, when the community really want to see this TOTAL situation solve by the people's efforts in righteousness. The Ceremony of adoption consisted in drinking each other's blood. In some groups saliva was exchanged in the place of blood drinking, this being the ancient origin of the practice of social kissing. And all ceremonies of association, whether marriage or adoption, were always terminated by feasting. In later times, blood diluted with red wine was used, and eventually wine alone was drunk to seal the adoption ceremony, which was signified in the touching of the wine cups and consummated by the swallowing of the beverage. The Hebrews employed a modified form of this adoption ceremony. Their Arab ancestors made use of the oath taken while the hand of the candidate rested upon the generative organ of the tribal native. The Hebrews treated adopted aliens kindly and fraternally. "The stranger that dwells with you shall be as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself". CLAN AND TRIBIES: The first peace group was the FAMILY, then the CLAN, the TRBE, and later on the NATION, which eventually became the modern territorial STATE. The fact that the present-day peace groups have long since expanded beyond blood ties to embrace NATIONS is most encouraging, despite the fact that earth NATIONS are still spending vast sums on war preparations. The Cause of WAR is RACIAL differences! The CLANS were blood-tie groups within the TRIBE, and they owed their existence to certain COMMON INTERESTS, such as: 1. Tracing origin back to a common ancestor. 2. Allegiance to a common religious totem. 3. Speaking the same dialect. 4. Sharing a common dwelling place. 5. Fearing the same enemies. 6. Having had a common military experience. The CLAN headman were always subordinate to the tribal chief, the early tribal governments being a loose confederation of CLANS. The native Australians never developed a tribal form of government. The CLAN peace chiefs usually ruled through the MOTHER line, the TRIBAL war chiefs established the FATHER line. The courts of the TRIBAL chiefs and early KINGS consisted of the headman of the CLANS, whom it was customary to invite into the KING'S presence several times a year. This enabled him to watch them and to better secure their co-operation. The CLANS/organization served a valuable purpose in local self-government, but they greatly delayed the growth of large and strong NATIONS. THE BEGINNINGS OF GOVERNMENT: Every human institution had a beginning, and civil government is a product of progressive evolution just as much as are marriage, industry, and religion. From the early CLANS and primitive TRIBES there gradually developed the successive orders of human GOVERNMENT which have come and gone right on down to those forms of social and civil regulation that characterize the second third of the twentieth century. With the gradual emergence of the FAMILY units the foundations of GOVERNMENT were established in the CLAN organization, the grouping of consanguineous FAMILIES. The first real GOVERNMENTAL body was the Council Of The Elders. This regulative group was composed of old men who had distinguished themselves in some efficient manner. Wisdom and experience were early appreciated even by barbaric man, and there ensued a long age of the domination of the elders. This reign of the oligarchy of age gradually grew into the patriarchal idea. Our STREET TEAMS are operated, first join /first served in that manner of organization SENIORITY. It had been hard for mankind to learn that neither peace nor war can be run by a debating society. The race early learned that an army commanded by a group of CLAN heads had no chance against a strong one-man army. War has always been a KINGMAKER. MONARCHIAL GOVERNMENT: Effective STATE RULE only came with the arrival of a CHEIF with full executive authority. Man found that effective government could be had only by conferring power on a personality, not by endowing an idea. PRIMITIVE CLUBS AND SECRET SOCIETIES: Blood KINSHIP determined the first social groups; ASSOCIATION enlarged the KINSHIP CLAN. Intermarriage was the next step in group enlargement, and the resultant complex TRIBE was the first true POLITICAL body. The next advance in social development was the evolution of RELIGIOUS CULTS and the POLITICAL CLUBS. These first appeared as SECRET SOCIETIES and originally were wholly religious; subsequently they became regulative. At first they were men's clubs; later women's groups appeared. Presently they became divided into two classes SOCIOPOLITICAL and RELIGIO-MYSTICAL. There were many reasons for the secrecy of these societies, such as: 1. Fear of incurring the displeasure of the rulers because of the violation of some TABOO. 2. In order to practice minority religious rites. 3. For the purpose of preserving valuable "spirit" or trade secrets. 4. For the enjoyment of some special charm or magic. The very SECRECY of these societies conferred on all members the power of MYSTERY over the rest of the TRIBE (all Sherman Latimer Entertainment STREET TEAM Members are offered to attend our SECRECY meeting more than ONCE a week/our regular MEMBERSHIP MEETINGS will be held ONCE-A-WEEK at COMMUNITY CENTERS or LIBRARIES that are available). SECRECY also appeals to vanity; the INITIATES were the social aristocracy of their day. After INITATION the boys hunted with the men, whereas before they had gathered vegetables with the women. And it was the supreme humiliation, a TRIBAL disgrace, to fail to pass the puberty tests and thus be compelled to remain outside the men's abode with the women and children, to be considered effeminate.ous character for their INITIATIONS. The Members of these SOCIETIES first wore masks to frighten the curious away from their mourning rites---ancestor worship. Later this ritual developed into a pseudo seance at which ghosts were reputed to have appeared. The ancient societies of the "NEW BIRTH" used signs and employed a special secret language; they also forswore certain foods and drinks. They acted as night police and otherwise functioned in a wide range of social activities (ONLY our PAID Membership of Sherman Latimer Entertainment STREET TEAM that have BOTH Auto-Responders are permitted to COME INTO our RECORDING STUDIO, have CDS release by Coaster Clean Promise Land Records EMPIRE, or become INITIATES of operating our COMMUNITY SERVICES programs). ALL SECRET ASSOCIATIONS imposed an oath, enjoined confidence, and taught the keeping of SECRETS. These orders awed and controlled the mobs; they also acted as vigilance societies, thus practicing lynch law. They were the first spies when the TRIBES were at war and the first secret police during times of peace (a GROUP which would certainly avenge any assault made upon its members). Best of all they kept unscrupulous KINGS on the anxious seat. To offset them, the kings fostered their own secret police (a GROUP which would certainly avenge any assault made upon its members). These SOCIETIES gave rise to the first POLITICAL PARTIES. The first party government was "the STRONG" vs. "the WEAK". In ancient times a change of administration only followed civil war, abundant proof that the weak had become strong. By and by these SECRET ASSOCIATIONS grew into the first charitable organizations and later evolved into the earlier religious societies---the forerunners of churches. Finally some of these societies became inter tribal, the first international fraternities. Continued at: http://www.urantia.org - Read Paper 68 THE DAWN OF CIVILIZATION - Paper 69 PRIMITIVE HUMAN INSTITUTIONS - Paper 70 THE EVOLUTION OF HUMAN GOVERN- MENT. EVOLUTION OF THE MORES: All modern social institutions arise from the evolution of the primitive customs of your savage ancestors; the conventions of today are the modified and expanded customs of yesterday. What habit is to the individual, custom is to the group; and group customs develop into folkways or TRIBAL TRADITIONS---mass conventions. From these early beginnings all of the institutions of present-day human society take their humble origin. It must be borne in mind that the MORES originated in an effort to adjust group living to the conditions of mass existence; the MORES were man's first social institution. And all of these TRIBAL reactions grew out of the effort to avoid PAIN and HUMILATION while at the same time seeking to enjoy PLEASURE and POWER. The origin of folkways, like the origin of languages, is always unconscious and unintentional and therefore always shrouded in MSYTERY. Ghost FEAR drove primitive man to envision the supernatural and thus securely laid the foundations for those powerful social influences of ethics and religion which in turn preserved inviolate the MORES and CUSTOMS of society from generation to generation. The one thing which early established and crystallized the MORES was the belief that the dead were jealous of the ways by which they had lived and died; therefore would they visit dire punishment upon those living mortals who dared to treat with careless disdain the RULES of living which they had honored when in the flesh. All this is best illustrated by the present reverence of the yellow race for their ancestors. Later developing primitive religion greatly reinforced ghost fear in stabilizing the MORES, but advancing civilization has increasingly liberated mankind from the bondage of fear and the slavery of superstition. SOCIALIZING INFLUENCE OF GHOST FEAR: Primitive desires produced the original society, but GHOST FEAR held it together and imparted an extra human aspect to its existence. Common fear was physiological in origin: FEAR of physical pain, unsatisfied hunger, or some earthly calamity; but ghost FEAR was a new and sublime sort of terror. Probably the greatest single factor in the evolution of human society was the GHOST DREAM. Although dreams greatly perturbed the primitive mind, the ghost dream actually terrorized early men, driving these superstitious dreamer into each other's arms in willing and earnest association for MUTUAL PROTECTION (just like the reason for GANG BANGGERS TRUCE) against the vague and unseen imaginary DANGERS of the spirit world. The Ghost dream was one of the earliest appearing differences between the animal and human types of mind. Animals do not visualize survival after death. Except for the GHOST FEAR factor, all society was founded on fundamental NEEDS and BASIC BIOLOGIC URGES. But GHOST FEAR introduced a new factor in civilization, a fear which reaches out and away from the elemental needs of the individual, and which rises far above even the struggles to maintain the GROUP. FACTORS IN SOCIAL PROGESSION: Civilized society is the result of man's early efforts to overcome his dislike of ISOLATION. But, this does not necessarily signify mutual affection, and the present turbulent state of certain primitive groups well illustrates what the early TRIBES came up through. But though the individuals of civilization may collide with each other and struggle against one another, and though civilization itself may appear to be an inconsistent mass of striving and struggling, it does evidence EARNEST STRIVING, not the deadly MONOTONY OF STAGNATION. PROTECTIVE SOCIALIZATION: When brought closely together, men often learn to like one another, but primitive man was not naturally overflowing with the spirit of brotherly feeling and the desire for social contact with his fellows. Rather did the early races learn by sad experience that "IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH", and it is this lack of natural brotherly attraction that now stands in the way of immediate realization of the brotherhood of man on earth. ASSOCIATION early became the price of SURVIVAL. The lone man was helpless unless he bore a TRIBAL mark which testified that he belonged to a GROUP which would certainly avenge any assault made upon him. Even in the days of Cain it was fatal to go abroad alone without some mark of GROUP ASSOCIATION. Civilization has become man's insurance against violent death, while the premiums are paid by submission to society's numerous LAW demands. Primitive society was thus founded on the reciprocity of necessity and on the enhanced SAFETY OF ASSOCIATION. And human society has evolved in age long cycles as a result of this ISOLATION FEAR and by means of reluctant co-operation. Primate human beings early learned that GROUPS are vastly GREATER and STRONGER than the mere sum of their INDIVIDUAL UNITS. One hundred men UNITED and WORKING IN UNISON can move a great stone; a score of well-trained guardians of the peace can restrain an ANGRY MOB of GANG BANGGERS. And so SOCIETY was born, not of mere ASSOCIATION OF NUMBERS, but rather as a result of the ORGANIZATION of intelligent co-operators. But co-operation is not a natural trail of man; he learns to co-operate first through FEAR and then later because he discovers it is most beneficial in meeting the difficulties of time and guarding against the supposed perils of eternity. LAND TECHNIQUES---MAINTENANCE ARTS: Land is the stage of society; men are the actors. And man MUST ever adjust his performances to conform to the land situation. The evolution of the MORES is always dependent on the land-man ratio. This is true notwithstanding the difficulty of its discernment. Man's land technique, or maintenance arts, plus his standards of living, equal the sum total of the folkways, the MORES. And the sum of man's adjustment to the life demands equals his cultural civilization. EVOLUTION OF CULTURE: Man is a creature of the soil, a child of nature, no matter how earnestly he may try to escape from the land, in the last reckoning he is certain to fail. 'DUST YOU are and to dust shall you return" is literally true of all mankind. The basic struggle of man was, and is, and ever shall be, for LAND. The first social associations of primitive human beings were for the purpose of winning these land struggles. The land-man ratio underlies all social civilization. Man's INTELLIGENCE, by means of the ARTS and SCIENCES, increased the land yield; at the same time the natural increase in offspring was somewhat brought under control, and thus was provided the sustenance and leisure to build a cultural civilization. Human SOCIETY is controlled by a law which decrees that the population MUST vary directly in accordance with the land ARTS and inversely with a given standard of living.

If YOU are losing YOUR market share or not meeting sales projections, chances are YOU aren't RELEVANT to the most important SEX! WOMEN, WOMEN, WOMEN: So much has been written about the powerful female consumer YOU would think the "men folk" in your organization would realize women are the root of ALL PROFITS! Yes, Still so many companies live in denial that women account for over 80 percent of all consumer purchases. How can anyone ignore that the $5 trillion women spend annually is staged to gobble up new homes, healthcare, consumer electronics, investment advice, automobiles, vacations, bank accounts and do-it-yourself projects. In fact, their financial heft is so significant that any business would see an instant spike in revenue if they adopted a "no-more-marketing-to-men" attitude. Get SIGN-UPS in 30 minutes at: http://www.webspawner.com/users/slmg WOMEN COMPLAIN FOR A REASON: Research indicates that of 1,000 random complaints, more than 80 percent were written and registered by women. When the transaction goes badly they get mad and stay mad. Their complaints register words like "embarrassed", "helpless", "out of control", "hurt", "crushed", and "rejected". Those are the same words many would typically use in an intimate, loving relationship, and that's because women don't differentiate a personal interaction from a business event; business is personal and emotional to them. WOMAN STARTED VIRAL MARKETING: Not only do women tend to complain about the perpetrator, but they also tell everyone else about the experience. Faith Popcorn, authour of EVEolution - Understanding Women, says that the average satisfied female customer will recommend a service, shop or client to 21 other people. Since women speak an average of 20,000 words a day - versus a man's 6,000 - women were indeed the first "viral marketing" machine. Therefore, when women have a good feeling about your company, it can create a vast army of female, unpaid spokespeople for you. Can you do better than that with traditional marketing? WOMEN ARE MORE LOYAL CUSTOMERS: If you make an effort to understand the emotionality of a woman's purchase, she will start to form a relationship with you. This is critical because an emotional bond is the only factor that breeds true loyalty; not "favored customer cards" not reward points or discounts, not even repeating their name in a friendly manner. Women don't want "service" from you; they want empathy. They want to be understood. Once women feel you have understood and appreciated them, you have not only a loyal customer, but a referral engine as well. At Coaster Clean PromisLand Records we offer women af FREE refferal sign-up to tell others about our Door-to-Door DVDs, CDs, and Wholesale Products at: http://www.zoommoola.com/?ref=mcfunklord - Our They can join our STREET TEAMS for a one-time $10 membership fee at MammothList here: http://www.MammothList.net/?r=4694 OFFEND WOMEN AND DIE: When you scorn or offend women, look out. Consider the detrimental efects to the Tom Cruise movie, "Mission Impossible III". It was largely thought to be the best film of the trilogy, yet when Cruise blathered in the press insisting his then-girlfriend Katie Holmes have a "silent birth" as prescribed by Scientology, his immense female fan base stayed home. Opening weekend ticket sales dipped over 30 percent. Don't mess with women or their sisterhood. WOMEN GET STRONGER WITH AGE: The largest purchasing body is baby boomer women. They are rich and powerfully influential. Ken Dychtwald, author of The Power Years, says that by 2015, at least $15 trillion will land in the hands of baby boomer women. Wouldn't you like them to be spending some of that money with you? HOW DO YOU GET INTO A WOMAN'S WALLET: 1. THINK LIKE A WOMAN. BEHAVE LIKE A WOMAN. Understand that women crave appreciation for their immense buying power and influence. Know that they want you to succeed because they love to introduce amazing new discoveries to their friends. Behave in ways that are caring and honest. Showing her attention and empathy will cause her to become your advocate, and unpaid spokesperson for your company. 2. BE EMOTIONAL. If you sell a product, write emotional content that speaks to her heart and reasons for her to own what you sell. If you sell a service, get personal and sell yourself. She wants to buy from people who won't make her feel hel[less, anxious, embarrassed or vulnerable. The Nordstrom clothing chain has been wildly successful because the salespeople are warm, friendly and personal. There is also no risk in buying from them. Nordstrom breeds trust and confidence. 3. DON'T TRY TO SUCK UP TO WOMAN: Don't pander to women or try to exploit the obvious media stereotypes. Not all women are shoe fiends and show biz tabloid readers. If you take that tack, you'll offend the Mensa moms, as well as the shoe fiends and tabloid readers. Women want authenticity from you. They don't want hype or false promises. They would also like you to be socially conscious - which may mean that you donate some portion of the sale to famine relief, the environment, spousal abouse or another heartfelt concern. They respond to empathy, both to her and her causes. 4. RETHINK YOUR CURRENT STRATEGIES: Visit the blog www.marketingtowomenonline.typepad.com.
