Does your kid go to the soda fountain and develop their kid-friendly version of a “mixed drink”? Usually, about the age of 7, they can have more fun concocting a horribly-tasting beverage, but promoting it as the next best Coke product (my son literally shoots a shot of Fanta Orange, Dr Pepper, Diet DP, Diet Coke, Coke, Sprite, A&W Root Beer and Lemonade into one single cup! – gross)
Well, Coke has been testing its Freestyle Coca-Cola vending machine in a variety of cities and the WSJ-word is that some will soon find their way to the Dallas area. FastCompany reports “Coke’s Freestyle Machines Ready to Rock Tongues With 104 Flavors“.
Do you think these new soda machines will increase sales of carbonated beverages at restaurants? What are your concerns (besides being grossed out as a parent)?
Small Business Trends offers a nice review of John Jantsch’s new book, “The Referral Engine” – check it out!
* John mentioned today in a post to his Fan Page that THE REFERRAL ENGINE is now #1 in marketing books! And yesterday was the launch day!
Today, May 13th, is LAUNCH DAY for John Jantsch’s new book, “The Referral Engine“! Over the next couple of weeks, I will making some surprise visits to a variety of people in Fort Worth and give them a FREE book!

NOTE: In the coming month, as Fort Worth-Dallas’ only Duct Tape Marketing Authorized Coach, I will be launching virtual group sessions and local bootcamps all centered around building your REFERRAL ENGINE – and teaching your business to market itself. More information to come . . . in the meantime, enjoy these slides that John has made available for us to use to promote this new offering. I think you can tell, even without any audio commentary, that the content of this program is awesome!
