Today at the bookstore I discovered this book on Lamborghini’s (above).  Great! I thought, lets have a look. No joy. The book was wrapped in cellophane.  Why?  The Authors percieved value of looking at pictures of Lamborghinis is obviously higher enough to only allow the reader to look at a single picture on the front and back cover.  Why is this the only wrapped book in the store?

This type of closed tactic immediately arises two questions in my mind:

  • What are you hiding?
  • Does your product have any value?

Is your company wrapped in cellophane? Most companies are.  

Transparency builds trust.
