During a little bit of online research I came across an obituary clip about Geoffrey Holder. The first line said, he “died on Sunday from pneumonia at the age of 84.” And the short blurb after that talked about a couple of things he accomplished. That was it.
But that short blurb distracted me, and I looked him up.
Wikipedia says Mr. Holder “was a prolific painter (patrons of his art included Lena Horne and William F. Buckley, Jr.), ardent art collector, book author, and music composer. As a painter, he won a Guggenheim Fellowship in fine arts in 1956.”
And fans of James Bond might remember Geoffrey as the voodoo villain who was Bond’s enemy in “Live and Let Die.”
But what many, if not most, of you might not realize or remember is that Geoffrey Holder was a 7up spokesperson way back in the day. He portrayed a Caribbean planter who explained the difference between cola nuts and “uncola” nuts. Cola nuts are what they use to make cola drinks. And uncola nuts, which are actually lemons and limes, are used to make 7up, the unCola.
If you get a chance, look up one of his old commercials. You can find them on YouTube. Mr. Holder was an awesome choice. His voice and personality almost subliminally could make you crave a 7up.
And apparently the commercial really distinguished 7up from the pack.
They did bubbles like all the rest. But they didn’t look or taste like the rest. So, they were able to capture a market of people who wanted that refreshing, non-caffeinated, citrus flavor. They’re another example of how awesome it can be to do what others won’t.
And that’s another reason why I want you to enroll in UNversity. It’s the kind of how-to coaching normally reserved for my one-on-one clients.
Enroll today for a monthly tuition of $15. I haven’t raised the price in the whole two years since I started UNversity. But that’s likely to change in 2023. So, get in now. Be in time for the first lesson of 2023. I’ll be sharing a video that shows you how I use the RondaReady CRM (Customer/Contact Relationship Management) system to save a ton of time and money (more numbers solutions). And how you can, too.
There IS a deadline to enroll and still be in time for January’s lesson. And that deadline is December 31st when the clock strikes midnight. And that’s only a few days away.
Start off your new year with an investment in yourself. Each UNversity lesson is sort of like a short blurb of information you can learn and implement quickly. Get the first one next week. Link is below.
Stay Ready,
Ronda
