- 11. PRACTICE CATCHING UP TO THEORY Cluetrain Manifesto: 1999 A powerful global conversation has begun. Through the Internet, people are discovering and inventing new ways to share relevant knowledge with blinding speed. As a direct result, markets are getting smarter—and getting smarter faster than most companies. These markets are conversations.
- 12. THE 95 THESES 2- Markets consist of human beings, not demographic sectors. 6 - The Internet is enabling conversations among human beings that were simply not possible in the era of mass media. 12 - There are no secrets. The networked market knows more than companies do about their own products. And whether the news is good or bad, they tell everyone. 16 -Already, companies that speak in the language of the pitch, the dog-and-pony show, are no longer speaking to anyone. 28 - Most marketing programs are based on the fear that the market might see what's really going on inside the company. 40 - Companies that do not belong to a community of discourse will die. 75 - If you want us to talk to you, tell us something. Make it something interesting for a change.
- 13. FRAMEWORK Measure How will you measure success? Voices How do you want to speak? Listen What is the market saying? Goal What do you want to accomplish?
