    The Rules Of Radio Interviews!
    Have you thought about using radio to spread your message? Did you know you could? Just follow these simple - The Radio Rules.Rule #1 – Water Cooler TalkRadio shows don’t want to make you filthy stinking rich unless they get something out of the deal. They want a great interview that generates water-cooler talk all over the city. The most important phrase to a radio host is… “Did you hear the guest Wayne Kelly had on his radio show today?” This kind of PR is priceless. If you can help a radio show achieve it, you will be booked. You have heard radio a

    To Own,Partner or Procure?
    According to Kenny Rogers, we have to "know when to hold them, know when to fold them and know when to run". The gambling refrain also applies to the outsourcing of an organisation's activities. We have to know what activities we need to do ourselves, what we need to partner others to do and what we need to procure to be done.Many organisations, however, make errors in what they outsource whilst other organisations make errors in that they outsource nothing. The result of the former error is usually a loss of control of the activities of the organisa
    As some of you know, I spent many years buying and selling both on and offline and several of my products are based upon my own experience in this area. I know that the vast majority of my customers and subscribers have an interest in trading whether it be on eBay or at the local market but more and more I am seeing people with completely unrealistic expectations of what they will be able to do. Most commonly these unrealistic expectations are in respect of how much it actually costs to purchase specific products and what they can then be sold on for.

    I regularly get emails from people who want to know where they can purchase products such as mobile (cell) phones, new release DVDs, Playstation games and similar at, say, a 50% discount to resell on eBay. The fact is that such a thing is not available - it is a simple case of supply and demand and competition.

    Take DVDs for example, most people think that these are excellent products to resell on eBay because they are very popular, not particularly expensive and easy to package and ship. Unfortunately, they could not be more wrong. The DVD market is one of the most competitive that there is - take a look for yourself and see how many auctions there are on eBay for DVDs at any one time. I have just looked and counted almost 300,000!

    Affiliate Directory Marketing - How To Increase Your Sales With Affiliate's Sales
    Every one who is doing online marketing at least knows what affiliate marketing is all about. It has two aspects one is the product or service owner and second aspect is the affiliate or person who sell the product or service for the product owner and gets part of the commission for that sale. Fortunately there are many service providers who make the affiliate marketing easier for both owners and affiliates, by providing a common platform along with listing of affiliate programs category wise. There are paid as well as free service providers.Because everyone i

    Sales Training at Car Dealerships Is the Key
    For those who run the sales departments at automotive car dealerships they know that the more money they spend in training their sales force the more sales the dealership will accrue. Most sales training includes positive feedback and motivational speeches, team work and success training. There is an aire of competitiveness too; No one leaves this car lot without buying a car!It is indeed one of the most hyped types of programs in the sales profession, perhaps it is often used wrong too, as so many people or customers are left with a bad taste in their mouths

    Powerful Product Presentations, Your Most Potent Tools, Part 3 of 3
    In the marketplace, value is built, profit is protected and sales are closed by salespeople who possess superior presentation skills. There are tools that can separate you from the crowd if you take the time to master them. If you don't, you will find yourself leaving prospects under served and sales opportunities lost. Here is one of those tools.In this, the third in the series, I want to draw your attention to an area of the presentation that the majority of salespeople overlook on a regular basis.

    Social Entrepreneurs
    Many will view the world of entrepreneurialism as a means of developing a business to supply the financial requirements of household needs. The prevailing dream of most aspiring entrepreneurs is to work for themselves without the need to answer to a boss.There is, however, a culture of entrepreneurs who not only seek to become self-sufficient in the business ventures, but they also seek to be agents of societal change.The Schwab Foundation awards 30 international entrepreneurs with a Social Capitalist Award for not only succeeding in their profession, b
    looked and counted almost 300,000! At any one time there will only be a certain number of buyers wanting to purchase a particular DVD and if you take into account the numerous different places there are that each buyer could purchase from, it is likely that in general, there will be more copies of an individual DVD available than there are buyers to purchase them. This situation causes prices to fall. The other factor that forces prices down is the fact that one DVD is the same as another. By this I mean that from a buyers point of view, there is no difference to a new DVD purchased on eBay to one which is purchased from their local DVD store. Often the only way to differentiate is on price and of course, the only way to make the price more attractive to a buyer is to lower it.

    The above reasons help to explain why the wholesale discount on a new release DVD is just ?1 or ?2 at most ($2 or $3 roughly in the US). When you take into account the fact that the large retail chains can purchase thousands of DVDs at a time and receive a bigger discount than individual traders, you soon see why it is very difficult for a small business to compete in such a competitive industry. You simply cannot purchase new release DVDs at 50% discount and even if you could, it wouldn't be long before prices were forced down as there is always someone willing to sell a little bit cheaper than the next man.

    It isn't just DVDs that fall into this category. Take mobile (cell) phones. Here in the UK you can walk down just about any high street and get the latest phones either free or fo
