Today’s word is Glad.
I once read that there are four types of emotions: Glad, Sad, Mad, and Scared. Three of these have no place in marketing, but the word glad immediately grabs your attention. Getting people to feel “glad” is a worthwhile endeavor and is the name of the game.
Glad is a good place to be. Glad is the outcome you are seeking. Make others feel glad.
How does “Glad” happen? Let me list a few ways:
- When you make me feel appreciated, I become glad.
- When you make me feel welcome, I become glad.
- When you make me feel smart, I become glad.
- When you make me feel like I contributed, I become glad.
- When you make me feel like I made the right decision, I become glad.
- When you make me feel like my hard work has paid off, I become glad.
- When you make me feel a part of a winning team, I become glad.
- When you make me feel like a winner, I become glad.
- When you recognize me, I become glad.
There are undoubtedly many other examples, but I am confident that you are seeing where I am going with this with just nine examples. Take a moment to list a few more glad-producing strategies that immediately come to your mind.
