Selling Is A Process Not A Static Event
One of the biggest problems for many salespeople is not understanding that selling is a process not a staticevent. Effective selling is not just closing the sale, better prospecting or more effective sales presentations. Although, all of these are important in their own way, effective selling today is blending each of these together in such a way that the prospect trusts, believes, respects you and your organization and wants and or needs your product or service to help them improve the quality of their life or business enterprise.For many years traditional sales training focused on the “close of the sale” as the most important element. Then the 70’s and 80’s rolled around and the hot topic was prospecting, qualifying and getting to the key decision makers. Then it was the nineties and consultative selling. What will the next decade bring? Who knows for sure. What we do know now is that to sell suc

Politically Incorrect in Rhode Island
As Rhode Island communities prepared to celebrate Victory Day on August 14 in recognition of the allied triumph over the Japanese Empire during World War II, “concerned” citizens opposed to the holiday began lobbing criticisms at event organizers around the state. Rhode Island, which is the only state that still celebrates Victory Day, or V-J Day as it is sometimes called, suddenly found itself at the center of the politically incorrect universe.Critics of the holiday charge that it is discriminatory and want to remove all references to Japan and the Japanese people. The Associated Press quoted former Rhode Island State Representative George Lima as saying, “This is a stigma against the Japanese whom we do business with and are allies.” Mr. Lima, who was responsible for a failed attempt to get rid of the holiday while serving in the state legislature during the 1980s, is a perfect example of the many ou

If at all possible in almost all cases, it's better to try to save a marriage and a family. But, when it isn't possible, how do we cope? Sometimes divorce is forced upon us against our will and sometimes it's a decision we have to make to end a painful or threatening relationship. Whatever put you in a divorce situation, coping with divorce involves rational attitudes to survive irrational conditions. On the subjects of blame, getting along, money, child custody or emotional recovery, following a few rational approaches can help you and your family cope.

Fixing Blame: The best of divorces are horribly painful ordeals. It's natural for us to place blame on the other person to try to deflect some of the pain. It's the nature of disagreement that the other person is wrong. There wouldn't be disagreement unless they thought we were wrong, as well. On the other hand, some of us try to take all of the blame in an irrational attempt to punish ourselves. Fixing blame on ourselves or our ex is a useless waste of energy and emotion that makes it harder for us to recover. It takes two to make a successful marriage and two for the unsuccessful ones. Fixing blame destines us to not learn from our mistakes and to repeat them in the future. Coping with divorce requires the discipline to accept that there were plenty of wrongs on both sides and to learn from the wrongs we endured and those we caused. The really cool thing about taking this approach is what it does for us. You become a stronger, wiser, better spouse should you venture down the aisle again. Our personal recovery and growth is why we try to keep from fixing blame, not necessarily to get along with the ex.

The Amicable Myth: Getting along is the goal of one of today's the most popular illusions, the amicable divorce. Don't get me wrong, coping with divorce requires that we do everything in our power to live at peace. Unfortunately, though, amicability is a bit of a myth. Let's look at why! During marriage, we provided each other financial support, domestic services, companionship and sexual satisfaction. At that time, our inability to get along on some level created the need for divorce. It continues to amaze me how many people expect to get along after removing all the benefits of marriage and adding emotional grief, financial hardship and complex custody arrangements. Regardless of how the ex behaves and how tempting it is to pound them into the dirt, the best realistic outcome is that we personally choose to do no harm. This is coping with divorce rather than creating revenge strategies.

Buying a Home - Your BIGGEST Investment
This column has often focused on intangible investments like stocks that a young investor might hold in their portfolio. While these are one of the most important components of an investment plan, it is not the dominant one for most young people. Even for some who are much further down the path of life, stocks and bonds often pale in comparison to the role that a home plays in their investment life.Buying a home is an enormous investment. It’s easy to overlook the size of it, because the down-payment required is relatively small. Still, we all realize that we’re investing the whole purchase price. Nonetheless, most people don’t give the investment aspect of their home a second thought, thinking of their home as nothing more than a place to hang their hat. Since this may be the largest single investment made in the first half of one’s life, it might be wise to look at it less as an expense, and mor

Work at Home: Taxes
If you decide to work at home, seriously consider hiring someone to assist you with your taxes. It will definitely be worth the investment. When you work at home or become self-employed, understanding tax laws will be a huge part of running your business. Here are a few tips to help you understand the tax laws and might make your life easier at home.Create a folder for any item you purchase for a business expense. Keep it.

Good software will walk you through step by step how to complete a tax form if you are self-employed. Don

Financial Facts: Coping is understanding that, before the assets are divided and the spousal and child support agreements are made, everyone in the family will suffer financial hardship. Some have said that money is the number one cause of divorce...I've come to believe that money trouble is just a symptom of a bad relationship, not the cause. Divorce adds about 40-50% to the necessary expenses to pay for a second home and all the stuff required for the kids to live in both. One man told me, though he was living in a separate room from his wife and he was in a committed affair with another woman, he couldn't divorce because he would have to sell his home and his boat and pay child support. The money is so important to some people they will even harm their children to keep as much of it as possible. The financial facts are, the family assets are owned by both people and should be divided equally. If we can't come to an equitable agreement as to how the assets are to be divided, it's better to walk away with only the clothes we're wearing than to give most of it to lawyers in a drawn out court battle. It's just stuff! Besides, the stuff benefits the children when they're with the ex.

Child Custody: The financial issues are so important to some people, they actually base their child custody requests to minimize their expenses or maximize their income. One of the saddest things to witness is parents who hate each other so much it overpowers their love for the children. The kids become cannon fodder in a never-ending battle between their parents. It becomes more important to win than to make things right for the children. People often use their custody time to try to turn the children against the ex. The children are severely damaged, always having to choose sides to get any affection from their parents. One of the most common false accusations in custody battles is sexual abuse, requiring the children to endure traumatic physical exams and embarrassing psychological evaluations. If there is good reason to suspect something, these things are necessary. If not, the accuser, by putting their children through this, is sexually abusing them.

Coping with divorce requires a different tactic with respect to the children.Love for our children demands we seek a child custody outcome only to minimize emotional disruption and maximize happiness for the children, whatever the cost, regardless of our needs or wants. If possible, we won't allow the children to be harmed by a selfish tug-of-war, even if it means giving up some visits. Child custody should never be about the rights of the parent. We won't trouble our children with the details of the divorce or with negative comments about the other parent. Our relationship with the ex is none of their business. Whenever possible, for the sake of the children, we should find ways to build up the other parent even if the other parent is tearing us down. At least the kids won't be getting a double dose. If the kids say something against the ex, we should support the ex's dec

According to the United States Census Bureau, 40 million Americans move each year. There are no hard statistics on the number of businesses that relocate, but there is a growing trend towards businesses relocating outside of major metropolitan areas to cut costs for themselves and their employees.

Sometimes, finding the right product or service to make your own is to find someone else's version of the same product or service and discovering ways to deliver it in a different way. Someone once told me that I could not make it in a business because there were already people in that particular business!

Writing for profits online is so very exciting. I enjoy doing it, and there are many others online who enjoy it, too. But I think that there is both an art and a science to writing for profits online. I think that there is in a sense a formula to making it work, and I think that there is an underlying art to writing for profits online.
