What To Do If Somebody Doesn't Want To Look At Your Business Opportunity
I was at a networking site talking to MLMer's about their problems and concerns. One concern keeps on popping up and that is why people are so stupid to not want to make more money.What most MLMer's don't realize is that the uninterested prospect isn't really stupid, and it's not really the prospect's fault. But it is the fault of the MLMer not to move on and find the more qualified prospects. Here's how the conversation went.MLMer: I just ask a person to listen to a phone presentation to give them info to what I really do. Then they complain that they're broke or either have a health problem. Now, if I told you I had something that could help you in both ways with no risk involved would you do it?Me: Well, hate to say this but no. Here's why.I'm coming from a direct response background. A lot of people are just satisfied with their crappy situat

Let the Bells Ring Out
Special offer, special deal, or special delivery are words that we see emblazoned on products everywhere. Why would advertisers go to that effort to make their product seem special to us? Because we’ve been raised to respond to the word 'Special'. A few examples are special occasion, that special someone or in that special place and time.Before I send clients out to apply for a position or job, I encourage them to come up with five key reasons why their product is special and stands out from the rest. Why would an employer pick them over the other hundred or more applicants? It is YOUR five key reasons as to why you’re special that will have them offering YOU the position.I will ask my class, "If you were an employer, would you hire you?" The general response is a resounding YES! On occasion, I will get someone who says, "No way, I’ve worked with me before and

Compliance training gets no respect. Training managers view it as something of a bugaboo. Most trainees greet it with about as much enthusiasm as they would a parallel parking contest. So what is it, why do we need it, and how can we best go about it?
Well, government regulations and business best practices dictate that you not only conduct certain courses but also maintain records to show that they have been taken and understood by all concerned. Not offering such training can jeopardize the health and safety of your workers, earn the ire of your shareholders, and/or get you on the wrong side of the regulatory authorities.
Here are some examples of compliance training:
° Human resource issues: Such as equal opportunity, workforce diversity, and sexual harassment.
° Business ethics: A large organization will have need for courses that deal with general business ethics as well as the more specialized needs of those in sales and marketing, accounting/finance, information and document management, and corporate governance (Serbanes Oxley or SOX compliance requirements). Moreover, certain industries, such as real-estate and lending, will have additional requirements specific to their business.
° Occupational safety: US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations on both general occupational health and safety and the special needs of industries such as construction, food service, and healthcare.
° Industrial safety: OSHA and other standards that seek to prevent injuries, accidents, chemical spills, fires, and explosions.
° Driver safety education: For those who operate vehicles that are part of corporate fleets.
° HIPAA training: For healthcare workers on how to use and share patient information in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountabili
International Shipping/Freight for Beginners
There are lots of benefits for some businesses to import or export goods. Manufacturers and distributors can order directly from the overseas manufacturer and save money on their purchases. They can also market their goods to the world instead of just the USA. There is a demand for American products in many parts of the world, but smaller American companies don’t think they have the connections to offer their goods internationally. I recommend using freight forwarders instead of carriers because a good freight forwarder will shop several carriers to get you the best rate. With the right freight forwarder importing and exporting is as easy as sending a package via UPS.First I will tell you what information you need to get a complete and accurate international freight quote. Then I will tell you how to insure that the quote you are given matches the dollar amount on y

Testing the Efficiency of Free Classified Ads
Without testing you will never know how good or how bad your ads performed. Before the advent of internet, advertisers used to test classified ads quality using certain techniques. However, there were no such things called free classified ads then.Free or paid, you are spending your time with classified ads and you need results from paid or free classified ads. Even in case you are getting an opportunity to list your product for free, you still need to test the effectiveness of the free offline or online classified ads.The techniques that advertisers employed to test the success rate of an ad were quite simple. To test the effectiveness of the words used or to test which paper give maximum mileage to the ad, advertisers use specific telephone numbers or post box numbers.By noticing which extension phone ringed the most and which post boxes filled up, they co

Building Customer Relationships by Staying in Contact
Do your customers see you often enough? Do you have a regular system of contact that makes sure your products and services are consistently in front of your customers? Businesses lose out on more sales than they know because their customers forget about them.Experts say it takes 7 contacts to turn someone from a stranger into a customer. But don’t stop making contact after you’ve made the first sale. The first sale should be the foundation for a real relationship between you and your customers. And relationship selling is in many ways the easiest: you know the customers’needs, often before they do, and your customers feel comfortable going to you when they have needs.I believe a certain amount of our business should come just because we are the most visible vendor on our customers’ radar. We keep our products and services in front of customers, which makes u

What’s the ideal platform for such training? To answer that question, we need to examine the characteristics of compliance training, which are:
° It’s required by large numbers of people, often within a short timeframe.
° It’s often repetitive.
° The course content, once developed, is fairly stable (though subject to adjustment as regulations get fine-tuned).
° Even locations that have only one or two employees must undergo this training.
° And, of course, it demands good record keeping.
° Except for the needs of specialized industries, the course content – once developed – can be sold to a very large national, sometimes international, customer base.
What we have just listed are the exact situations in which e-learning is both appropriate and cost effective. E-learning has the ability to perform volume training quickly and relatively inexpensively, even when there are one or two participants per location. It’s also just-in-time and self-paced, allowing it to be more easily squeezed into a crowded work schedule. All those make e-learning the ideal vehicle for compliance training. What about the records? When e-learning is delivered from an LMS, record-keeping is automatic and effortless!
Now, what’s this LMS? A Learning Management System is software that allows you to display on your corporate intranet all of your training off
