In Make 'Em Laugh & Take Their Money, Dan S. Kennedy examines humor as a practical tool for persuasion rather than entertainment alone. He argues that people respond more favorably to those they like and enjoy listening to, making humor valuable in sales and marketing. However, getting laughs is not enough. Humor must support the sales message, establish rapport, and avoid alienating the very audience you want to persuade.
Drawing on decades of speaking and copywriting experience, Kennedy explores self-deprecating humor, relatable storytelling, funny testimonials, humorous writing techniques, and the importance of timing and context. He explains how humor can create differentiation, reinforce persuasive messages, and make communication more memorable. The central lesson is knowing when, why, and how to use humor to advance a sale.
