Fans First

Change the Game, Break the Rules & Create an Unforgettable Experience

De: Jesse Cole

Narrado por: Jesse Cole

The Savannah Bananas should not exist.

You can't name any of their players. They play in a 1920s-era ballpark with no ads or billboards. They play in kilts, stilts, and stilettos. They even have an all-grandma dance team: the Banana Nanas.

Everything the Bananas do is unconventional. It shouldn’t work.

And yet they sell out every game, have a waitlist in the thousands, ship merchandise around the globe, and entertain millions of followers on social media.

ESPN calls the Bananas “the greatest show in baseball”.

How is this even possible?

Two words: fans first.

Packed with behind-the-peel stories, hard-earned lessons, and a few other surprises, Fans First teaches you how to stand out in your marketplace, drive explosive growth, and inspire fanatical loyalty.

If this all sounds bananas, that’s the point. Normal leaders read normal books and get normal results. But if you’re ready to change the game, break the rules, and create your own unforgettable team, then it’s time to go fans first.

Great Listen, Great Insight, Great Performance!

The myth, the man, the legend Jesse Cole does it again! Great thinking delivered in true story form to crank your brain on what's possible. Play Ball!!

A thousand applicable things if you are a baseball player or stocker

A found myself wanting to put customers first, and maybe even trying something new. The later was swish dance walking with a cart full of boxes to Dancing Queen, but also engaging my customers and not letting them put up their baskets.

Great advice for business and life

It was just a great book for a modern day Disney visionary! He created another fan and I happily bought some Bananas gear in hopes to go to a game one day! Highly recommend!

An inspiration into a unique business model

This book was an automatic purchase because I have been following Cole’s efforts in his new team. I wanted to support his ventures because his flavor of brand and employee management seems to be breathing life into America’s pastime, baseball, and I was interested in how to bring it to my own life. I was very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend it as a read and inspiration on how one can re-prioritize their own work, team building, or business goals. A truly fun listen/read. Great stories and happy to see the results.

Look for a book that does business out of the box

If you ever want a book that's a grand slam home run out of the park, this one's it! I couldn't wait to dive in, and as I read, I swear I could hear Jesse Cole's voice in my head. The Fan First theory for business is absolutely amazing. The way he weaves in quotes from both execs, players, and fans is just awesome, not to mention his vision to change the world. If you're looking for a book that's all about business building, leadership, and just an overall fantastic read, this one's definitely it. In my opinion, it's a must-read for everyone. Who knows, maybe the Fan First approach will be the secret sauce for your business too!
