Curiosity Changes
Everything
Brave enough to transform how you communicate? The Curiosity Crash Course is for you. You'll discover a way to redesign how you write and speak -- to provoke conversations using curiosity.
Test drive a new philosophy in 5 lessons
The more help you offer -- the LESS people want to listen. The more value you share -- the LESS value they assign to it. The more they suspect an ulterior motive.
Sound familiar?
That's because persuasion is dead. Curiosity is alive 'n kicking. In this new paradigm, the less said, the MORE impact. The less persuasion, the MORE others consider convincing themselves.
1: Sales outreach deprogramming
The first step to recovery is self awareness. Conventional InMail, email and voicemail scripts contain toxic elements -- causing customers to ignore, delete or mark you as spam. This lesson will surprise and challenge you. Take away a radically different view on customer communication -- to earn more conversations.
2: How to spark curiosity
Persuasion pushes customers away. Curiosity pulls. Engaging people demands a counter-intuitive strategy: Not asking for meetings, not persuading, not sharing value. Take away a new framework to help people begin convincing themselves. Curiosity is the key to unlocking conversations.
3: Email subject lines
3. Email subject lines
We're told: Be specific. Be clear. Be compelling and catchy. Problem: The more clear, the more specific and the more compelling (or catchy) the more you’re trying to persuade. This creates resistance.
Take away a “less is more” tactic focusing on curiosity. And a reason to consider not tracking open rates -- and get delivered to inboxes more.

4: Earn engagement on LinkedIn
Discover why LinkedIn usually results in many connections -- but few conversations. And what to do instead. If your ideal customers are on LinkedIn, yet aren't engaging, this lesson is for you.
5: Being relevant
This lesson reveals the key to relevance: Improved targeting and confident, customer-centric language. We’ll also cover how personalization is seen as fake relevancy -- and what to do instead. Can't break through the noise? This lesson is for you.

Brynne Tillman// CEO
As my company launches a new offering, we found ourselves stuck for email copy. We knew we had to stand out & create curiosity to get hands raised. We didn't want someone to just hand us the fish, but teach us how to fish. Thanks to the Spark principles we know our nets will be filled on a consistent basis.
Nick Jiwa// CEO
I’ve hired a lot of consultants. You guys were the first to quickly grasp my business and target buyer. Then you suggested communication tactics that work—and strengthen my style. That's why I'm continuing to work with you. I'm finding new ways to start and re-start conversations with senior Fortune 500 call center executives.
