Marketing Is a Verb<br />

It’s what we do that affects our brand perception more than any brochure<br />

ever could.<br />

Welcome to the UnAwesome side.<br />

You are the person who cheered on Darth Vader. You have Boba<br />

Fett statues in your office and Predator ones too (just like I do). Don’t<br />

be shy, UnAwesome reader; this is the side of the book I would read<br />

first too.<br />

It’s not so much that we hate people. It’s just that we’ve found,<br />

through experience and extensive research, that they’re morons about<br />

85 percent of the time.<br />

You are the person who has been so abused as a customer for so<br />

long that even mediocre customer service feels extraordinary. You’ve<br />

had every kind of bad boss and horrible employee. And if one more<br />

of your friends invites you to vote for them, asks you to like their<br />

Facebook page, or reminds you about their LinkedIn request, you may<br />

just throw this book at them. You aren’t expecting the awesome to<br />

happen, so you find yourself here, with me, on the UnAwesome side.<br />
