In a word-of-mouth world, the best is where your clients are out singing your praises. Where they are your raving fans.

I suppose the 2nd best is when other consultants/strategists/gurus recognize that your strategies are a good one.

Note: shameless self-promotion begins here:

1. David Berkowitz on how the Johnny Bunko site uses Google Docs creatively.
2. The Grok guys (whom I love) on the ‘dripping’ of the Bunko book (I called it ‘drip irrigation’).
3. Dean Hua on How Daniel Pink Uses Social Media, including the Bunko breakfasts.
