The Thank You Economy

In his session, Gary Vaynerchuk teaches entrepreneurs how to take advantage of the current business environment, while also preparing them to succeed as it changes and evolves into what he’s termed “The Thank You Economy.” With the rise of the Internet and the power of the common consumer, businesses must look backwards and scale the caring their grandparents’ businesses exhibited towards their customers, or watch the competition pass them by. Today, individuals and brands that out-care and out-love their competition - those emphasizing quality, value, responsiveness, and attention to detail, among other essentials - see the biggest returns.

CRUSH IT! Cash in on Your Passion

Everything has changed. The social media revolution has irreversibly changed the way we live our lives and conduct our business. There are billions of dollars in advertising moving online, waiting to be claimed by whoever can build the best content and communities. Despite this change, most people keep working at jobs that don’t make them happy and businesses continue to ignore the major marketing and public relations benefits that can be found online.

Thank you to you and your team for Gary's part at C3. Gary was our #1 rated speaker (no surprise!) and fantastic feedback has come through about how valuable his keynote was. It was also incredible that he stuck around and spoke with a few folks from our team -- they were absolutely thrilled. I had fun watching the recap in his DailyVee too -- great edition. THANK YOU from all of us at Conductor & WeWork. :)
