stevenkandres 's review for:
The Tipping Point
by Malcolm Gladwell
Key takeaways:
- Connectors know a vast number of people and serve as hubs for social networks. They naturally bring different groups together. This makes them critical in spreading ideas.
- Mavens are informations specialists. They accumulate knowledge or spot trends and love sharing it with others. They influence others by providing reliable, persuasive information that helps people make decisions.
- Salespeople are charismatic and can persuade others to act. They amplify the appeal of an idea or product, making it more attractive and convincing to others.
Example: A Maven identifies a new product or trend. The Connector spreads this information to a wide and diverse audience, building a base of early adopters. The Salesperson helps persuade hesitant individuals to adopt it, drastically increasing the uptake.
All three are necessary to create an epidemic.
- A good salesperson
