The earliest documented spam (although the term had not yet been coined) was a message advertising the availability of a new model of Digital Equipment Corporation computers sent by Gary Thuerk to 393 recipients on ARPANET on May 3, 1978. Rather than send a separate message to each person, which was the standard practice at the time, he had an assistant, Carl Gartley, write a single mass email. As the marketing manager at Digital, he was hoping to get attention, particularly from West Coast customers, for Digital's new T-series of VAX systems. Instead, he ended up getting crowned, for better or worse, as the 'Father of Spam'. He prefers to think of himself as the father of e-marketing. There's a difference.  In fact, Thuerk's original spam "did work," he says. "We sold $13 million or $14 million worth" of the DEC machines through that e-mail campaign. On the negative side, complaints started coming in almost immediately, and a few days after the original e-mail, an ARPANET representative called him up and chewed him out and made him promise never to do it again. In this episode of Your Partner In Success Radio we will delve into history and how Gary failed retirement, misses working in the DoD & AeroSpace Industry, and how he got to work with the people who built the internet technology.

He spent a dozen years leading marketing teams inside local television stations in Chicago, Grand Rapids, and Colorado Springs. His undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Michigan and UCCS in communication, psychology, and marketing were conferred in the highest distinction.  Ethan will share his thoughts on: Every day, you're entrusting some of your most important and valuable messages to a form of communication that doesn't differentiate you, doesn't build trust and rapport, and isn't as clear or effective as looking someone in the eye and speaking to her or him.Any business or business process that isn't built on trust, rapport, and relationship will be automated.Any process that is needs a more personal and human touch.Simple webcam and smartphone videos recorded and sent in place of some of your plain, typed-out text can help you with clearer communication, human connection, and higher conversion. (This type of video doesn't require all the time, expertise, and expense that "video" in your business traditionally has required. It's easier than you think.)
