    Involving Your Prospect In The Sale
    The more you engage someone's five senses, involve them mentally and physically, and create the right atmosphere for persuasion, the more effective and persuasive you'll be. Listening can be a very passive act; you can listen to an entire speech and not feel or do a thing. As a persuader, you need to help your audience be one step closer to taking action. As a Master Persuader, your goal is to decrease the distance someone has to go to reach your objective.When you get a prospect to start something, it is most likely they

    When Your Website Design Counts - Pick A Freelancer
    Most companies these days have a website showing off their products or services and know that they have to have one to compete with the competition. With the website comes all of the manpower and knowledge that you have to either bring on board the company or hire out.The problem comes in when you have to decide if it is worth bringing on board a webmaster to maintain the website. Is it a very dynamic site that will require lots of maintenance and changes on a regular basis, or is your site going to be static and once it’s
    The Hero's Journey (Monomyth) is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the hundreds of Hollywood movies we have deconstructed (see URL below) are based on this 188+ stage template.

    Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters. This is the template you must master if you are to succeed in the craft.

    [The terminology is most often metaphoric and applies to all successful stories and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hall (1977) to Lord of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocaplyse Now (1979)].

    THERE IS ONLY ONE STORY

    THE HERO'S JOURNEY:

    a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.

    b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.

    c) Gives you a tangible process for building and releasing dissonance (establishing and achieving catharses, of which there are usually four).

    d) Gives you a universal structural template upon which you can superimpose your situational story. This is why stories such as Alien (1979), Gladiator (2000), Midnight Cowboy (1969), American Beauty (1999), The Graduate (1967) and many others (all deconstructed at the URL below) appear to be different but are all constructed, almost sequence by sequence, in the same way.

    The detective hero arrives at the scene of the crime and must pass low ranking police officers, who are unaware of his status. However, he is familiar with higher-ranking detectives and they facilitate his entry. In The Maltese Falcon (1939), Sam only gets past the police officer because he knows Tom.

    Product Creation – Know thy Customers First
    Are you conceptualizing a business of your own? Probably, you have learned that Internet business has gaining its popularity and you would want to test the ground for it. But what product will you choose to sell? This is the very crucial part in taking a business of your own. Of course, you would not want to put all your investments into a waste when you do business.So what product will sell? Only the customers can answer this. And this is the very stage in creating a product. You need to make a thorough research. What do

    Say Cheese
    The Smile credit card was in 2005 awarded the accolade of being the “best credit card” at the Guardian Consumer Finance Awards, quite an achievement but when you consider it is the four year in a row that it has done so, speaks volumes of what type of credit card you will be buying into, if you feel that this is the right credit card for you.Launched by the Co-operative bank the smile credit card will also give you a better rate of APR on your card if you already bank with the company, so rewarding existing customers is hi

    Credit Card Debt Elimination - When To Consolidate Credit Card Debt
    Maybe you have a few too many credit cards, or perhaps you just can't keep your financial paperwork organized. When it seems like the bills are becoming overwhelming, you may want to consider consolidating your credit card debt. Here are some warning signs of debt overload:You can't keep track of your bills.If you have four, six or eight different account statements coming to your mail every month, it may be hard to keep track of when all the payments are due.

    Debt Settlement Is A Recognized Solution For Those Who Need Help With Their Debt
    Hey, don’t just take my word for it.Let’s face it we all know that the only one that is going to get you out of debt is you. There are several ways to do it. Most think that Debt Settlement (third party negotiations) can’t be done or that credit card companies don’t recognize this as a legitimate solution.That is simply not true. Did you know that even MasterCard recognizes debt settlement as a legitimate option for individuals looking for help with their credit card debt?If you go to their website or simp

    New Behaviour. In Romancing the Stone (1984), Joan drinks and smokes, something she wouldn't normally do.

    ***Outer Cave***

    The Hero et al arrive in the outer part of the Cave. Again, certain characteristics are common.

    New World. Just as the First Threshold is a New World, so the Cave is itself a distinct World within the First Threshold. In Superman (1978), Clarke's school is a sub-domain of Kansas.

    New Creatures and Behaviours. Just as the Hero et al encounter unfamiliar creatures and behaviours in the First Threshold, so they encounter even odder ones in the Outer Cave.

    *****Descent into the Cave*****

    The Hero et al descend into a Cave. The Cave is a metaphor for a sub-domain within the First Threshold. In When Harry met Sally (1989), Harry meets Sally in the airport (a sub-domain of New York City).

    Descent can be interpreted in many ways - the Hero can physically and mentally descend, he can go deeper in the sense of involvement or familiarisation. In Dances with Wolves (1990), Fort Hayes is initially unwelcoming and alien. But John Dunbar makes it his home.

    Certain characteristics are noticeable:

    Dark and Unknown. The descent is often dark and the Hero et al seem as if they are travelling into the unknown or unexpected. Anything could happen here.

    Pull Down. The Hero et al have no choice but to descend; something forces them there. In The Matrix (1999), Neo literarily falls form the pod.

    Resistance. There may be resistances.

    Foreboding. Phrases like "I don't like the look of this" are common.

    Warnings. Phrases like "don't go there" are common.

    *****Master Plot*****

    There is a theory that there are a finite number of Plots (Tragedy, Rags to Riches, Rebirth. Man vs Machine, Man
