    How Would You Handle This Customer Service Issue?
    I was reading in the Winnipeg Free Press (my local paper) about a woman who was a passenger in a Unicity taxi cab. The woman had pre-paid her fare to the tune of $25.00. Nine dollars into the cab ride, the cab got into an accident.The woman was injured and unable to complete her trip. She asked for a refund of at least $16.00. The balance left on her pre-payment.You would think the cab company would bend over backwards to accommodate the woman, but no; they refused to give her a refund. This kind of customer service attitude is REALLY DUMB on the part of Unicity and it’s bad for business. Their

    Using a Real Estate Agent to Find Your Home
    Having trouble trying to decide which home to buy in a particular area? Most people do - if you’re moving into an area and haven’t lived there before, you simply won’t be familiar with much in the way of where you should go. The solution: retain a real estate agent to do it for you.Most people are familiar with real estate agents from selling houses, acting in their role as a broker. However, many people don’t know that you can also get a real estate agent to scout around for you among houses that they aren’t selling themselves. You usually don’t have to pay them a fee - they take a cut of the commissi
    You may think,  "Why not let other Web sites sell my book?"

    That's a good plan to get started, but one of the dangers is that book-selling sites may not pay you on time, pay you enough, or just go by the wayside because of low profits. They pay around 30% royalties for print books and 50% royalty for eBooks, and send you checks periodically through the mail. If you have your own Web site for your informational products, you will get to keep all of the money after expenses--always a great advantage, and you will be seen as a market leader in your field.

    Top Ten Reasons

    1. Enhance your Online and brand presence with your particular "branding"--why your product or service is the right choice—why you are the preferred expert over your competition. For instance, the one who says I can help you make your book dream a reality, faster, cheaper, and easier. How? Through designing every part of your book to sell copies--before you write a single chapter applying the essential "hot selling points," and how to write each chapter much faster with less editing using the "fast-forward" technique.

    2. Enhance product awareness. When your targeted visitors come to you site to see your free articles and tips, they will become aware of the products you offer. They may not buy the first time, the second or even third time, but if you keep your site updated with new information every week and mark your site that you have done so, your visitors will keep coming, and up to fifty percent will buy.

    3. Boost your leads fast. When you entice your reader with a testimonial or a free bonus report to leave their email address, you will be able to continue to stay in touch with them. Allow them to download a free chapter or excerpt of your eBook. Illustrate with benefits and a testimonial why they should sign up for your free ezine.

    List Building – Easier to Compete When You Build a List
    List building takes away so much of the competition – you see, when you are not list building, when you are just sending traffic to your pages, you have to compete with everyone else who puts up a website. That is stiff competition!But with list building, you are getting the people off of the internet search engine and getting them to engage directly with you. This is a huge difference.Now, you are not competing with the other 99 sales pages – you are simply communicating with this customer one on one. Perhaps he will send you an email, asking a question. Perhaps he knows he needed the produ

    Email Marketing Basics - How to Write an Email III
    So I tried writing some of my own emails. And these were bad emails. I am not much of a letter-writer. I do not write long emails, as you may be able to attest to if you have ever asked me a question online. I answer the question. Period. If you have thanked me for something, I rarely say ‘you’re welcome’ – if you have criticized me, I probably have not responded either – but I answer your question.I just believe in efficiency and writing letters and emails does not feel efficient to me. Of course, I know that they are the most efficient way I can communicate online, especially when I have 6000+

    Auto Insurance For Your Kids
    Auto insurance can be very expensive for young drivers. Parents are often worried (with good reason) when a young adult reaches driving age. Here are some things that can help manage the risk and cost.My opinion is that a young driver should generally not be given a car and insurance without cost or obligation. If the young adult has to work or make a significant household contribution they may have more respect for the privilege being granted. It could also be helpful to have a written agreement about your rules for granting driving privileges. In most states a parent can withdraw permission for the y

Once you get up on the Web, many people will come to your site from all over the world.  Your ezine or teleclass can connect with people outside your area because your subscribers or participants think so much of you that they forward the good news to their friends and associates. Only targeted buyers come bringing a much higher rate of sales.

    5. Add a new sales channel. Maybe people know you or your products offline through networking groups or other business ventures. A Web site makes you even more respected, and Online people expect you to have a Web site because they love the convenience and speed of Online ordering.

    6. Increase your existing sales channels, such as post cards, talks, book signings, or radio interviews where you do business with an 800 free order telephone number. Guest speak on one of your hot topics on well-known marketers teleclasses. Offer a special price on one of your books.  Orders will stream in! Offer improved customer service and support because so many people like to buy Online.

    7. Reduce support costs. You would spend far more on rent for a real office and need more equipment and furniture plus more support staff. Online marketing is far easier, cheaper and more effective than the mail, telephone or fax.

    8. Reduce the cost of doing business. In your home-based virtual office, you will have much less overhead. For eBooks, you won't have to spend time or money on postage, packaging, or mailing. You reduce your dependence on other sales channels such as the brick and mortar bookstore, which only take your book through a distributor or wholesaler. All of these folks take a hefty percentage to greatly reduce your profits--up to 80%. Online bookstores may accept your eBook or print book readily. Visit their sites such as www.BookLocker.com or www.Amazon.com for details.

    9. Increase your profits up to ten times. When you sell your eBook or product to an Online Book-selling site, you may receive a commission up to 50%. When you se
