Watch the full Webinar above, or each of the 10 reasons trolls attack below
#1 dunning-kruger effect
Part of the competency/confidence loop.
How do you know what you don’t know?
70:20:10 principle
7x your learning through doing
4-MAT instructional Design Model
- When you know why, you work out what to do
- What is about performance
- How is about values
- What if is about survival
Preferred learning style...
- Training – Competency
- Mentoring – Proficiency
- Coaching – Growth
Diffusion of Innovation
- Project/Finite game theory
- Chasm now a hump
- Laggards now miss a generation
#2 Weakness in 4P’s
- Any weakness and a business will fail
- No weakness does not = growth
- 3 strengths will not overcome 1 weakness (terminal illness)
#3 Changes in the Sales Funnel
- marketing is NOT revenue generating
- Customers know your competitors products (better than you)
- Give before you get
- Build trust relationship
Pirate Metrics
- Because they AARRR
- Sales without relationship misses retention and referral
- Life-time value = RRR x (?)
- Post-purchase loop
#4 Marketing’s effect on profits
- Sets the price customers are willing to pay (actual price/worth)
- value is how much the customer can use right now
- USP is what a customer will pay you extra for (sales growth)
#5 Perceived risk – Challenging Authority
- Networking, Feels right – why
- Writing down notes/recipes – what
- Putting it all together – how
- Get it into your head – what if this happens?
#6 Because I need to
- I do what I love doing – Best
- I love what I do – Ok
- I do whatever it takes – Worst
#7 frustration – high amount of skill
Navigate the world of work – Manage career and work life; work with roles, rights and protocols
Interact with others – Communicate for work; Connect and work with others; Recognise and utilise diverse perspectives
Get the work done – Plan and organise; Make decisions; Identify and solve problems; Create and innovate; Work in a digital world
#8 The Job to be done
- Leadership/Strategy (manager)
- Delegate and supervise tasks
- Get the work done
- Team roles
#9 Attachment strategy
- Fearful – Fight, flight or Freeze
- Dismissing – Overly Positive, ignore the naysayers
- Preoccupied – clingy, defensive to outsiders
#10 Core sensitivities
The core sensitivities aren’t describing actions we take or even necessarily the behaviour we manifest; instead, they categorize the motivation for our actions.

Being able to handle trolls is an essential skill in successful businesses, but it doesn’t have to be the people on the front line that should have to do it. Who has their backs? Usually, it’s a “First Follower”.
First Followers are the ones who draw fire away from the obvious targets of troll attacks. It’s how they gain power. But how does that happen… when you know why trolls attack, you know what to do.
I’m not saying First Follows can dodge bullets, I’m saying they don’t have to. Their job is to take it from behind the lines, and let the front line get on with doing their jobs.
They are the unsung heroes of a business.
This is their story.
