    Why Your MLM Support System Gives You A 90% Chance Of Being A Failure!
    One of the biggest reasons why I see network marketers drop like flies is because of the support system. Yes you heard that right, your support system TRULY stinks! But I am not telling you to get you mad, but help you realize that by "plugging into the system" with blind faith is a huge mistake.Sure you may feel a temporary high after listening to your big time upline repeat these lines. But have you actually taken into consideration if it has actually helped you become richer and more successful? Probably not. See if you can relate:Upline: You can do it winner! You: Yeah, yeah I heard that a billion timeso their terms and conditions.

    Top Ten Tips for Book Titles that Sell Well
    A clever title is great if it is clear, but a clear title is always preferable. The best? A clear and clever title. A shorter title is better than a longer one. Your reader will spend only four-eight seconds on the cover. While some long titles have succeeded, usually the shorter, the better.A title is part of your book's front cover. Busy buyers including bookstore buyers, wholesalers, distributors and your audiences buy mainly because of the cover. Dan Poynter, author of Writing Nonfiction, says, "The package outside sells the product inside." Make your cover sizzle.Start with a working title before you write your ch
    I'm writing this for people who like the idea of online registration but imagine it's a time consuming ordeal to get set up. If you are using a professional full service online registration provider you can be fully set up by investing as little as an hour of your time for basic seminars, meetings, conferences or online ticket sales forms.

    A breakdown of the steps to online registration:

    Research (10 mins)

    If you're new to online event registration you'll want to spend a few minutes checking out the different options available. A quick read of our Event Planner's Guide to Online Event Registration will help you decide on your best approach (see below for download the file).

    If you want to make it easy on yourself, we recommend going with a full service online registration company. They will:

    • Do all of the set up for you, thoroughly test it and have it ready on time.
    • Make recommendations for laying out your form in a way that will get more people to register.
    • Produce a form that looks more professional and is easier to use than those created by templates or self service systems.
    • Help you get familiar with the back end systems so you can access and manage your registration data.
    • Advise on the best practises to help you get more registrations for your event and therefore add to the success of your event.
    • Free up your time (along with your staff's) and alleviate frustration for those organising and attending the event.
    • Consult with you on the best way to handle credit card transactions.
    Get a quote (10 mins) Call in and speak with a salesperson: To get an accurate estimate you'll need to know the specifics, i.e., what information you want to collect from participants, the options they have to chose from, how many registrations you expect and the fee for attending your event, etc.

    • If you have a registration form from a previous event (as an example) the sales person can likely answer most of these questions by looking at it.
    Address credit card processing - if applicable (5 - 10 mins)
    • Online credit card processing requires an online merchant account. If you don't have one set up most online registration suppliers can offer you the use of theirs. If you decide to open your own merchant account allow additional time - in the US a couple of days and in Canada a week or more.

    • If the company is professional your sales person should have answered all of your questions and provided good recommendations for your situation.
    Sign contract (10 mins)
    • Reputable companies will ask you to sign a contract - or at the very least agree to their terms and conditions.
    • This is a good thing, because a contract will help protect you and the supplier. Take a bit of time to read it through and make sure you understand all of the terms and conditions. Pay particular attention to any extra fees or charges.

    Vehicle Leasing - A Case Study
    A manufacturing company with 120 staff historically bought their company vehicles from the local dealer who offered excellent service, choice and most importantly a large discount. The quantity of cars required at this stage was six and two vans, which they purchased from ex-demonstration stock.The company was experiencing a surge in production and as a result they had to manage cash flow tightly as expenditure on meeting the production deadlines was going out long before the products were being paid for. As a result the financial team looked at the accounts and decided to look at cost cutting across the business to sustain

    What Do You Love About Your Work?
    First, I must admit...I am a bit biased about this topic - I love what I do on a daily basis! I love to help organizational teams get to know each other better and improve their effectiveness in working together through team building sessions. I also love to lead workshops and seminars, where I help people learn to set goals that are connected to their deepest values. I love to coach executives in organizations so that they can improve their leadership skills and create the teams they most desire. I also love to coach individuals at all levels of their careers so that they can have the life they desire along with their desired l

    Effective Marketing is About Loving Your Customers
    “Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.” ~Henry FordDo you cut corners in your products and services? Or do you make the honest effort to do it right even when no one is looking? You can’t expect perfection as that is an impossible goal for the imperfect people we are. The question is simply if you have done your best. Do you do the job right even if your customer or client may never know the difference?Marketing with Integrity is about loving your customer. Develop a relationship with them. Advise them. Help them.

    Going live...

    You should allow a couple of days for your provider to get a basic registration form online as they'll need to build your form, get your feedback, make changes and approve the use of merchant accounts, etc. For more complex forms allow extra time.

    The future...

    Once set up, it can be a simple matter of emailing or phoning to communicate new event details for future events.

    Awareness...

    There are a couple of factors that could slow this process down, such as:

    • If you're working with a committee in making decisions.
    • If you have to chase up sales people to get information - and you might want to ask yourself why you're having to do this, even before you've handed over your money?
    • If you don't have all of your event details together before starting the set up.
    • If you are opening an online merchant and gateway account for credit card processing for the first time (see above).
    Closing notes... The approximations above are based on using a full service online registration provider. If you opt for self serve systems, the time it will take you to get set up depends on how quickly you can learn their system (to build and test the form), how complex your requirements are and how quickly you will adjust your ideas to work within the system's limitations.
