Episode 24: Don’t Be a Bert Hinkler

March 23, 2023

Who was Bert Hinkler, and why have so many of us never heard of him? And what does the answer have to do with Jean Piaget’s theory of mental “schema.”

I was once told I should never mention “schema theory” to B2B sales and marketing practitioners because they either wouldn’t get it or wouldn’t care. I disagree on both counts.

This stuff is critically important. Especially when it comes to breaking through and standing out.

Looking for a clear, actionable strategy for differentiation? Don’t be a Bert Hinkler.
