Publisher's summary

If this were 1923, this book would have been called "Why Radio Is Going to Change the Game" . . .

If it were 1995, it would be "Why Amazon Is Going to Take Over the Retailing World" . . .

The Thank You Economy is about something big, something greater than any single revolutionary platform. It isn't some abstract concept or wacky business strategy—it's real, and every one of us is doing business in it every day, whether we choose to recognize it or not. It's the way we communicate, the way we buy and sell, the way businesses and consumers interact online and offline. The Internet, where the Thank You Economy was born, has given consumers back their voice, and the tremendous power of their opinions via social media means that companies and brands have to compete on a whole different level than they used to.

Gone are the days when a blizzard of marketing dollars could be used to overwhelm the airwaves, shut out the competition, and grab customer awareness. Now customers' demands for authenticity, originality, creativity, honesty, and good intent have made it necessary for companies and brands to revert to a level of customer service rarely seen since our great-grandparents' day, when business owners often knew their customers personally, and gave them individual attention.

Here renowned entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk reveals how companies big and small can scale that kind of personal, one-on-one attention to their entire customer base, no matter how large, using the same social media platforms that carry consumer word of mouth.

He was ahead of his time

I've knocked out a few books by Gary Vaynerchuk now and it is crazy to me just how right he was even 10 years ago. Its as if he could see the future. This book in particular has some great lessons on implementing empathy to your customers. Another must read, or in this case listen lol.

He was right then and he is right now

I was only 18 when this book came out. just getting started in business. I won't sleep on him anymore. If you think Gary was right about social media, Dive deep into research on Crypto currency, blockchain and NFTs. Please do research and don't think it's a Crazy fad... Gary was right then, and he's right now. I'm very bullish on NFTs, blockchain and many crpyto currencies specifically ETH (Ethereum)

be blessed,

Love this book. Thank you Gary.

I am the CTO of a small startup company in Denmark, and I love this book. Gary is that kind of guy that can inspire me.
The internet has brought people closer together. People are communicating, and they do so faster and wider than before. And with smartphones they do it instantly.
Get in to the social media. It is here to stay, and it works. This book gives great inspiration on how it is done correctly. It has given me great ideas to improve our product and brand.
And thank you Gary for doing the audio yourself. I can just hear how much in to this stuff you are, and how much this is in your heart and soul. It makes it so much more powerful to listen to.

First Crush It, Now This!

This guy must be such an annoying little douche to those in his life but boy can he write a great book! (The "I love my mommy" issues are a bit weird though.)

Gary never fails to impress me

Gary was the first person to walk me up from a mediocre existence. His personality and passion caught my attention then his view point opened my eyes to an entirely new way of thinking.

outdated but if you're behind or new listen now!

the concepts are good but are outdated by a few years. if you're new to marketing or are behind on the times you need this book. the times have changed and customer focus marketing has been here.
