2. Our challenge as marketers and service providers
in the “Information Economy”
“…’paying for things’ is a quaint,
discredited old 20th century custom…[…]
“Content” used in its current context is a
contemptuous coinage predicated on the
assumption that it’s the delivery system that
matters, relegating what used to be called
“art” to the status of filler, stuff to stick
between banner ads…[…].”
-Tim Kreider, The New York Times, 11/8/13

What it Takes to Win
When Bret Dunbar stepped on the course he realized that his chances of winning weren't that great. He had looked at the talent in the Danbury Chamber's Ninth Annual Tournament and having played the game for a long time, he knew that a perfect
drive down the fairway just doesn't happen.
"I will find my swing the day of a tournament only if I've been working consistently on my game to make it better," Bret shared confidently at the nineteenth hole after he hit his personal best. "Any kind of behavioral change - whether improving a back
swing or a close ratio in sales - occurs incrementally and not without practice, preparation and coaching."
The over hundred players who played at the Centennial Golf Course in September are invested in an extremely difficult game. Most experts estimate that it takes an average player six years of regular play and weekly golf lessons to achieve pars, birdies
and if luck is on your side, eagles.
It's not just a sport, it's a second job. How does one get better for a business tournament when time is such a scarcity? Preparation is one thing.
The Director of Golf at the Centennial reveals two secrets about the course.
13. What part of the story does this audience
need or want to know?
Sandler Training (Bret) teaches that preparation
is the key to success.
These golfers can learn the annual charity golf
course’s toughest holes so they can do better next
