<p align="left">Recently we held our third Bridging Heart and Marketing Conference. That’s what &#8220;BH&amp;M III&#8221; stands for — only this time we did it Virtually. .</p>
<p><strong>&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt; And We Are Beyond Thrilled<br />
With How It Went &lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;</strong></p>
<p>It was a worldwide celebration of spiritual liberation coupled with financial inspiration! We had participants from all around the world - France - Netherlands - Ireland - Israel - Trinidad and Tobago - Australia - Canada - Mexico - Norway - Panama - UK - and. of course all over the US.</p>
<p>We offered fifteen 90 Minute marketing sessions – a buffet of online and offline marketing strategies, techniques, principles, and deep wisdom. Each speaker was outstanding – and we are very demanding - so we don’t say this lightly. They were heartfelt, motivating, and on target with their wide-ranging and specific marketing topics.</p>
<p><strong>&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt; Participants Received Invaluable Information<br />
As They Learned About – &lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We’ve all heard soooooo much about The Secret and The Law of Attraction and how easy it is to attract success when you are in The Zone . . .<br />
 <br />
But no one talks about the unconscious forces that can get in your way - as Judith likes to say &#8212; Big Time!<br />
 <br />
Because it’s really difficult  - nearly impossible - to know how to create your marketing platform when you feel uncertain, confused, reticent to put yourself out there Big Time&#8230;<br />
 <br />
Know about that?<br />
 <br />
Thought so . . .<br />
 <br />
We have too. Big Time!<br />
 <br />
That’s why, UNLIKE any other marketing conference anywhere, we bring in our background as psychologists and spiritual teachers to address and take you through processes you can’t find anywhere else - - -<br />
 <br />
So that you can begin to free yourself to market who you are and what you do –<br />
 <br />
That is – Build Your Soft Sell Marketing Success Platform –<br />
 <br />
*** With Grace and Guts . . .<br />
*** With Consciousness and Confidence<br />
*** With Soul and Sacred Nobility<br />
 <br />
From a freedom to Be Fabulous like never before.       <br />
 <br />
When you are at “Bridging Heart and Marketing III - the Selling is Spiritual Service Virtual Conference”<br />
 <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Continuing from our post of August 24, 2009 that focused on ten characteristics/qualities of the servant leader, the second in the list is &#8220;empathy.&#8221;</p>
<p>To start it’s important to make th distinction between empathy and sympathy.</p>
<p>Imagine someone you know is not feeling well, perhaps feeling nauseated.</p>
<p>In simple terms sympathy is feeling support for, offering help to, willing to do something for that person. You recognize their distress and acknowledge it.</p>
<p>Empathy means feeling nauseated with that person—you mentally or emotionally project your experience into the feelings or state of mind of another person.</p>
<p>So why would empathy versus sympathy be listed as a quality of a servant leader?</p>

<p>Jeff Klein identifies the term &#8220;servant leadership&#8221; as first being coined Robert K. Greenleaf. Servant leadership, Klein continues . . .</p>
<p><dir><dir>&#8220;reflects the practices of spiritual masters and inspirational leaders throughout human history.</dir></dir>He then listed ten characteristics of the servant leader: <dir><dir>listening, empathy, healing, awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, commitment to the growth of others, and building community.</dir></dir>Having just written a post on the current Internet marketing buzzwords I thought it appropriate to follow with this list, because it describes what we and you are doing as soft sell marketers, even though we may never have consciously articulated them.Each of these qualities warrants a post in itself and it is my intent to do just that.So let’s begin with &#8220;listening.&#8221;  <a href="http://bridgingheartandmarketing.com/blog/leadership-styles-and-the-elements-of-the-servant-leader/#more-232" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>John Aberle ( <font color="#1f497d"> </font><a href="http://www.helpcustomersbuy.com/" title="blocked::http://www.helpcustomersbuy.com/">http://www.HelpCustomersBuy.com</a> ) placed his review of <a href="http://www.theheartofmarketing.com">The Heart of Marketing</a> on amazon.com </p>
<p> We&#8217;re posting it here because it so directly expresses what soft sell marketing is all about and why it&#8217;s so important that all of us soft sell marketers keep expressing and developing the heart-based, conscious, soft sell way of marketing &#8212; for our benefit and the benefit of our customers, and for the benefit of the world at large.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m so grateful to Judith &amp; Jim for writing The Heart of Marketing: Love Your Customers and They Will Love You Back. I used to feel alone in the business world because I always believed in soft sell sales and soft sell marketing long before I had a name for it. Moreover, it didn&#8217;t seem cool in the business world to admit that money wasn&#8217;t my main motivation - even though I have loved my sales career - and excelled at it.</p>
<p>It took Judith &amp; Jim to show me I wasn&#8217;t alone or unique. As they say about people they met who are mostly caregivers, &#8220;These people didn&#8217;t have big money as their foremost objective. To be sure they all wanted to make money &#8230;. But equal to making money was their need to serve the well-being of their customers and clients, and in so doing, earn the income they desired - not the othe way around.&#8221; (p. xxviii)</p>
<p>I find it exciting that Judith &amp; Jim reveal in The Heart of Marketing that there is a community of people who feel like I do about sales and marketing. In the years I got my sales training, it was primarily hard sell. I had to develop my techniques alone. Like many things we figure out for ourselves, someone else can expand our understanding. This book clarifies my thoughts about soft sell sales and about heart-based marketing.</p>
<p>Having themselves evolved into the realization that they are soft sell marketers, they conducted an Ask Campaign survey and found 772 other people wanting a better understanding of what soft sell marketing is and how to do it. After they refined the list, they picked 45 to answer.</p>
<p>This book is the book I most wish I&#8217;d written - except that until I read it, I didn&#8217;t have many of the answers. Moreover, I needed Judith &amp; Jim to show it was all right to admit to selling for the love of it. I whole heartedly, from experience in business-to-business sales and marketing, confirm that if you &#8220;love your customers &#8230; they will love you back.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Thanks John . . .</p>
<p>Because It&#8217;s All in the Connection,</p>
<p>Judith &amp; Jim</p>
