Book: Love is the Killer App
- How to Win Business and Influence Friends, by Tim Sanders
Available at Amazon (book), Audible (instant audiobook download), your local library, BookCrossing, and other locations.
I’m reading this book right now, and loving it–pun fully intended.
It’s timing at this moment of my life seems providential. It has helped me re-evaluate, refocus, re-energize my purpose and my plan here, working as a recruiter to help talented people find the right problems to solve.
Sanders clearly reveals that compassion in work situations–bizlove, he calls it–is absolutely essential to success in the new new economy:
- How we are perceived as human beings is becoming increasingly important in the new economy. There was a time when people could sit back and play head-games behind closed doors… The new economy doesn’t allow for this.
And
- No matter how technical our work situatins may be, because we’re all human, the network is at its best when compassion underlies our motivation.
Publisher’s Summary:
- Are you wondering what the next killer app will be? Do you want to know how you can maintain and add to your value during these rapidly changing times? Are you wondering how the word love can even be used in the context of business?
- You become a rich source of information to all around you.
- You are seen as a person with valuable insight.
- You are perceived as generous to a fault, producing surprise and delight.
- You double your business intelligence in one year.
- You triple your network of personal relationships in two years.
- You quadruple the number of colleagues in your life who love you like family.
Instead of wondering, listen to this audiobook and find out how to become a lovecat - a nice, smart person who succeeds in business and in life.
How do you become a lovecat? By sharing your intangibles. By that Tim Sanders means:
Your knowledge: everything that comes from all the books that he’ll encourage you to devour.
Your network: the collection of friends and contacts you now have, which he’ll teach you how to grow and nurture.
Your compassion: that human warmth you already possess - Sanders will convince you that you can show it freely at the office.
What happens when you do all this?
In short, you become one of those amazing, outstanding people to whom everyone turns, who leads rather than follows, who never runs out of ideas, contacts, or friendship.
Here’s the real scoop: Nice guys don’t finish last. They rule!

Losing Your Customers 101
… please wait. A blog posting will be here in a moment…
It’s funny that you mention this… back in 1999, I was a part-owner and CTO of a video game review site called Gameprix.com… What made us successful was the fact that we had four owners and that we all had distinctly different talents. My main talent was programming and IT… My other three partners were skilled at Business Management, Writing and Web/Graphic Design. What contributed to our downfall, other than greed (DOTCOM Boom, aka Greed, and youth!) was the fact that we were too smart for our own good… I thought that I could design a better website, the partner who was thisclose to securing a multi-million dollar buyout deal thought we could get more from somebody else and the guy who wrote/edited the website’s content thought he could do everything better.
The moral of the story is two-fold… (1) A successful company is run by multiple people with an expertise in a specfic part of the company (2) Knowing that you are NOT an expert in something you have no knowledge of (3) KNOWING that you are an expert in your field and making the RIGHT decision and finally (3) Give people what they want!
In the end, you have two choices… If you choose to be STATIC, then you’ll eventually fail, but if you choose to be DYNAMIC, you’ll eventually succeed. If you know what the masses want and give it to them you’ll always succeed… Telling the masses what they need and you’ll always fail.
Love IS the killer app… The trick is not caring what YOUR killer app is; it’s ONLY concerning yourself with what the PUBLIC’S killer app is… That’s why Microsoft has been the #1 Software Company in the world 15 years running…
Don’t Keep Score
I was re-listening to the Never Eat Alone (see at Amazon) interview with Keith Ferrazzi this morning from the Monster Podcast. I like the idea in there about not keeping score in your relationships. Don’t worry about how many times you’ve…
