97% of Business Owners Don’t Have One. Posted by Ron Bloomingkemper in  Relationship Marketing “Where does most of your business come from?”  Ninety-seven percent of business owners I’ve asked this question to have told me, “word of mouth.” Then I ask, “how much money are you spending on your word or mouth marketing campaign?” After a few seconds of nothing but blank stares, they say, “nothing.” “Well”, I ask, “where do you spend your money in advertising?” They’ll tell me things like, brochures, billboards, a postcard every now and then, oh, and the yellow pages. “How much business are you getting from those venues?” I ask.

Well boring is boring. Who cares. You look for things in your life that make you happy. That make you feel loved and connected. Well, at least this is the goal of most people. It’s what makes us human. And this is why we talk. We share the experiences we have in life to connect, to be accepted and to be part of the group. There is nothing new to this idea. The cave man did and now you do it. The only real difference is that you are not a caveman. We LOVE to GOSSIP! This is what is at the root of all word of mouth. The need to gossip.
