_________________________________________________________________Biz-Tips
by Dr. Kevin NunleyMaking Customers Happy Can Increase Sales
Happy customers can lighten your work load by cutting down on the
number of fires you put out each day. They can also make you
rich!It's up to 20 times easier to get a sale from a satisfied
customer as it is to sell to new prospects. It pays to do what
you can to keep customers happy.1. Make customers feel like there is a free flow of
communication between them and you. As soon as we get an order,
I write back to let the customer know the order has been
received, when they can expect delivery, and how to contact us
for up-to-the-minute information at any time.2. Respond quickly. If the customer has something good to say,
email or call back with your appreciation. If the customer has a
complaint, get back with them even faster.3. Explain your product or service. Many customers aren't at
all sure how it works or how you make it. I step each customer
through the process before we start work. "We get your
information, we write your copy, then we send it to you for your
approval." There is a reason why Subway sandwich shops let you
watch them make your sandwich. People love to see the process.-----
Media reporters are prowling the Net looking for stories.

the free publicity that comes your way.

Internet Tip of the Week
by Bob OsgoodbyBest Hundred Bucks You Never Spent
Did you know there is software available for about a hundred
dollars, which will allow you to automatically submit your ads
to web sites that accept free ads, and to newsletters that do
likewise? This software will submit any number of ads you wish,
in any frequency you desire."Wow - what a great idea!", you might think. I can submit my ads
to thousands of these sites with a single keystroke. "What a
time saver!"Some people send out a dozen or more like this everyday. Is this
doing them any good? Well maybe yes, and maybe no. Let's first
examine the different types of web sites that accept free ads,
and why.Many web sites that accept free ads, do it purely to collect
email addresses, which they can then sell as targeted lists.
They don't really care if your ad is ever seen. In fact, many
have a high limit of 300 ads. When the next one is submitted,
the oldest is dropped, and the process continues.With thousands of ads submitted hourly, how long do you think
your ad will remain on their site - a minute or two - hardly
worth your time. The flip side is you will suddenly find a lot
more unsolicited email arriving daily from those who bought
your address. If you like receiving unsolicited email, I guess
this is good.Other web sites do care if your ad is seen. So what is their
motive? They are trying to build an advertiser base, and hope
you will purchase a paid ad from them. Ads submitted to sites
like this usually have a life of a week or more, and can be
renewed indefinitely. Their goal is to attract people to their
site and hope that you do business as a result of your ad.The first group couldn't care less if you send them multiple
email addresses on a frequent basis - they never see the ads.
Their software automatically collects your email address, checks
for duplicates, and adds it to their file.The second group however, and all newsletters published on a
regular basis that allow free ads, are a different story. When
they receive ads, each one is checked manually. They usually only
permit one ad per cycle, and if you submit 7-12 ads a day, you
will quickly overwhelm their processing capabilities. To them,
this is spamming. Their only recourse is to "fight fire with
fire". What they do is automatically filter out the ads
submitted using this type of software. They will never see your
ad submissions.So what does this automatic submission software do for/to you.
In the first example, your ads might have a useful life measured
in minutes. In the second case your ads are "blocked" from the
sites that will produce your best results.Once you are blocked (depending on how they do it) you may never
be able to submit ads to these quality sites again - even if you
do it manually. Some block at the email address level. Once an
address is blocked, their filters will automatically delete your
incoming email, whether it is an ad or not.Maybe that automatic submission software isn't the best hundred
bucks you could ever spend.-----

_________________________________________________________________A Little Levity
Cuss Words
-=-=-=-=-=-A married man had only one complaint: his wife was always
nursing sick birds. One February evening, he came home to
find a raven with a splint on its wing sitting in his
favorite chair. On the dining room table, instead of dinner,
there was a feverish eagle pecking at an aspirin. In the
kitchen, his wife was comforting a shivering little wren she
found out in the snow.The furious husband strode over to where his wife was
toweling down the cold little bird. "I can't take it any
more! We've got to get rid of all of these #(@ ..."The wife held up her hand and cut him off in mid-sentence.
"Please, Dear, no cuss words in front of the chilled wren."

Shirley and Abe, a retired couple from New York City, living
in Miami, are getting ready to go out to dinner. Shirley
says, "Abe, darling, do you want me to wear this Chanel suit
or the Gucci?"Abe says, "Do I care?"
A few minutes later Shirley says, "Abe, should I wear my
Cartier watch or my Rolex?"Abe says, "Who cares?"
A few more minutes pass and Shirley says, "Abe, love, shall I
wear my five-carat pear diamond ring or my six-carat round
diamond ring with the baguettes?"Abe says, "Shirley, I really don't care what you wear, but if
you don't move your butt, we're going to miss the Early Bird
Special at McDonalds.-----
A little boy was caught swearing by his teacher.
"Jeffrey," she said, "you shouldn't use that kind of language.
Where did you hear it?""My daddy said it," he responded.
"Well, it doesn't matter," explained the teacher, "you don't
even know what it means.""I do, so!" Jeffrey corrected. "It means the car won't start."

Top Ten Ways To Inspire Others To Be Their Best
by Michael AngierWe all know people who are inspiring. But just how does one
inspire others? Here are ten simple ways you can inspire people
to be their best:1. Be a good example. People watch what you do more than they
listen to what you say. Be someone worth emulating.2. Care about others. People don't care about how much you know
until they know how much you care. Ask questions. Take a
genuine interest in people.3. Encouragement. Everyone goes through tough times. When you
support people and encourage them through these times, you'll
be inspiring them to see the best in themselves and in the
situation.4. Be inspired yourself. Look for people, ideas, environments and
knowledge that you find inspiring and motivating.5. Share from your own experience. You have more to share than
you realize. Mine the rich experiences of your life and share
your wisdom from your unique point of view. You may be the
only one who can touch someone with your inspiring message.6. Be vulnerable. Be willing to share your failures as well as
your successes. Others will relate to you. They'll understand
that they're not the only ones with challenges.7. Tell stories. Facts tell and stories sell. They inspire, too.
We learn best from parables and we all need to develop our own
inspiring stories.8. Be a good communicator. Increasing your ability to communicate
effectively is a critical element for you to inspire others.
Watch how you speak and what you say. Invest in your
communication skills.9. Challenge people. Many of us have had teachers who at times
seemed more like tormentors than mentors. They challenged us
to do our best, and we were better for it. Practice
"carefrontation"--the careful and caring confrontation of
others.10. Read. It may not follow that all readers are leaders, but
certainly all leaders are readers. Stay informed. Share what
you read with others. Tell people about books that have
inspired you. Share the knowledge.--------------
