    Against my better judgment, I spent this past Sunday morning working in the yard. With the heat wave bringing temperatures into the upper 90’s by mid-morning, I knew I couldn’t start in the afternoon like I normally do.

    So I got up early and started mowing the lawn around 7:30, while it was still just lukewarm outside. One project turned into another, and before I knew it, I was on a roll.

    When my wife finally came out to check on me at 11:00, I was drenched in sweat, a little redder in the face, and it was hotter than blazes in the shade.

    Oddly enough, I was so wrapped up in what I was doing that I hadn't really noticed the temperature creep up nearly 25 degrees during the morning.

    If I had waited all morning to get started, the shock of the heat would have sent me straight back inside. As it was, my body had simply acclimated.

    Rich Froggy, Poor Froggy

    The idea is that if you place a frog in a boiling kettle of water, it’ll hop right out. But if you place the frog in there while the water is cool, and gradually turn up the heat, it won’t notice the change until it’s too late. It'll just acclimate and then, well, croak.

    OK, it’s a little morbid. But in the context of marketing communications, it’s a very important concept.

    When you get new prospects, you probably don’t want to hit them over the head with an immediate sales pitch. That’s like throwing a frog in boiling water. Chances are much higher that they will put their guard up and retreat for safety.
