A marketing skill is to "give the troops something to talk about." That means that some will like a particular idea or concept and some will not. It breaks the pose of not caring and allows others that are trying to achieve a particular goal to do so - it gets people out of their “comfort zone.” It sometimes creates confusion, or worse yet, a complete lack of caring.
What Harry is doing is innovative. It helps him and helps those that do the things necessary to help make his business successful.
If a person doesn’t feel like updating their profile (making some wonder if they are still providing notary service), it gets into the formula. If persons contribute to the knowledge of others on this forum, they get credit. If some simply ask questions (are not afraid of the feedback) and allow persons that have constructive answers to respond, it gets credit. If persons pay for a premier membership - it gets noticed and has higher potential. And so on. If it does not work, he’ll likely do away with it (he’s done so before) But, in the meantime, it’s creating activity and I’ll bet a lot of folks will make sure the profile is updated for whatever minuscule credit that will bring them. |
