 You will notice your graphic has 12 sections, and
you will take your notes in your assigned
section.
MAVENS
 Mavens yearn to share their knowledge, but more
importantly, feel a need to learn more about a subject.
 A maven might be a fashion-forward teenager or a
technological wizard. In fact, a maven can be literally
anyone with a deep understanding of any given field.
 What makes mavens so effective is not their
persuasiveness (that falls under the real of the
salesmen), but their overpowering understanding of a
subject.
 The advice of mavens is often what allows connectors to
spread ideas. Without the guidance of mavens, the
connectors would rarely have exciting or important
messages to share.
CONNECTORS
 Connectors are the rare people who have incredibly widespread
"social networks.“ They are often successful businessmen or
politicians, and play an integral role in the spread of ideas.
 With their wide reaching group of friends and acquaintances,
connectors can spread a message rapidly to a receptive audience.
Nowhere was the role of connectors more clear than in the midnight
ride of Paul Revere.
 Revere was possible the best-connected man in Boston, and when
alerted to the impending British attack on the armory at Concord, he
was able to alert and arm much of the Boston countryside.
 Both Revere and William Dawes rode out that night, but Revere was
far more effective in delivering his message. In any given town,
Revere would know the right doors to knock on, the right people to
talk to, and the right message to convey.
SALESMEN
 Salesmen are possibly the most easily identifiable group
in "The Few." A salesman specializes in the art of
persuasion.
 These are the people who are responsible for
advertisements and marketing, and who strive to
convince others of "needs" that may or may not exist.
 Salesmen are masters of The Stickiness Factor, and know
how to make ideas and products simpler and more
attractive in general.
 One obvious distinction between salesmen and mavens is
that salesmen are far more likely to be paid for their gift,
whereas mavens exercise theirs for the simple pleasure
of learning and helping others.
