Reading Recommended by David Abrahamse of Algoran.
Nothing will be more important, more lasting, or more wealth creating than having the insight required to transform customer’s environments and therefore their customer’s experiences, which are both guests. ” There is no economic value more tangible, more palpable, or more worth while than achieving an aspiration. ” (The Experience Economy by Pine & Gilmore)- you can skip chapters 4-8,but make sure you read the rest!
(Brand Sense by Martin Lindstrom) Also a must read!
