Day one at the WOMMA School of WOM, and a key theme has already emerged … Advocacy.

* You gain vocal advocates by focusing on people’s hearts/minds versus their eyeballs/ears.
* Desire + Direction = Change (per Dan Heath). The path to success is to stir up that emotional desire -> give people clear motivation to advocate on your behalf -> make the behavior visible to make it contagious.
