The Power of Many - Online Consumer Help Resources
Most consumers don't have the time or the resources to turn the tide in their favor when dealing with an unscrupulous company. The growth of internet usage over the years has helped shift this tide with the aid of free online consumer resources. As more consumers hit the web to research a product or company before making a purchase, a company’s online reputation is becoming more important than ever.The following are good starting points for researching before you buy, or if you need help in getting a dispute resolved with a company:Better Business Bure

someone who does? Do they have some or other claim to fame?

If they do, I drag and drop their name into the folder.

Every once in a while, I go over this folder and check the names in it. When I see that I haven’t heard from one of them for a long time, I write them a short email.

Something very brief and to the point, updating them on where I’m at and asking if I can help them with something they’re working on, or just inviting them to tell me what they’re up to.

I keep myself fresh with my smart peeps

Horns and Scurs In Cattle
In my opinion or what I think I have learned about what causes cattle to have horns, scurs, or to be polled? This opinion has been formed through much research and many years of cattle breeding.The polled or hornless condition is dominant over the horned condition in cattle. The scurred condition is the result of incomplete dominance. Although scurs look like horns, they are attached to the skin, not to the skull of the animal.In most breeds of cattle, horns are produced by a recessive gene, and the polled gene is dominant.If you breed two animals wi

Without other people, you can’t make sales, you don’t have affiliates, you don’t have JVs, you don’t have collaboration. That means you painstakingly have to do everything yourself and you only ever have a very small percentage of the reach you could have.

Earlier today I was re-reading Mike Filsaime’s Butterfly Marketing Manuscript. I’m not a fan of all of his work but he certainly was able to propel himself to the top of the guru heap in record time. His products continue to become bestsellers and that’s really no accident.

This reading refreshed my mind as to the importance of WIIFM: what’s in it for me?

It’s the question on everybody’s mind 98% of the time. When faced with just about any decision that doesn’t involve primary obligation or responsibility, people run the proposition by their WIIFM filter.

Should I read this ad? Should I buy this product? Should I reply to this email? Should I help this guy?

Whenever you do something that requires a response from somebody, go out of your way to answer the question they invariably have on their mind…

What really decided me to write this post was a short inbox clean up. Right in the middle of the Manuscript, the WIIFM was trotting in my mind and I remembered I hadn’t filtered emails for a while.

It came up because I have products launching in the next months and of course I want to gain as much traction and momentum as possible to gather steam for the launches before the products go live.

Now, this is just business, it’s the name of the game, and yes, it’s selfish and utilitarian.

I have a folder in my email processor marked “smartpeeps”. As you can guess, it’s reserved for what I consider to be valuable contacts “smart people”.

When I place a name in this folder, I obviously ask myself first: what can this person bring me?

Do they have a list, a product, a blog, a show, newsletter or perhaps some other form of influence? Do they have a special skill or can they get me in contact with someone who does? Do they have some or other claim to fame?

If they do, I drag and drop their name into the folder.

Every once in a while, I go over this folder and check the names in it. When I see that I haven’t heard from one of them for a long time, I write them a short email.

Brainstorming Do's and Don'ts
We tend to put brainstorming in a box and assume that it is a no-holds barred, free form meeting with no structure or focus. But quite the opposite is the case. In fact there are lots of things that can derail a brainstorming meeting and put the meeting into a permanent tailspin.Perhaps the most important don't for brainstorming is don't be critical or judgmental of ideas presented during brainstorming. Successful brainstorming generates massive quantities of diverse and sometimes fantastical ideas. Fantastical ideas are good during brainstorming, not bad. Yo
