    I don't know about you, but I'm seeing a whole bunch of articles and websites telling me that I need to get into this RSS thing.

    Is it really time?

    RSS (it stands for "Really Simple Syndication") is the latest wave of internet technology designed to take advantage of the "Content is King" mentality. Imagine getting direct access to the content you want, without having to give out your personal information. Wouldn't that be nice?

    Here's how it works: You find a website you like and look for the little orange XML button, or a link that says "Syndicate this site". When you click that link, you get the raw feed of content from that site.

    An example:

    My Simplified Selling site allows you to syndicate my content. That means you don't have to remember to visit my site to discovers articles of interest, but instead they are fed to your preferred RSS reader (more on this in a moment) at your behest.

    That means you no longer have to open your browser and visit a particular website to see what's new, to find out if anything interesting has been posted. All you have to do is open your RSS reader and content from all over the web is gathered into one place and presented for your review. An RSS reader is one-stop shopping for online information.

    RSS Readers

    There are hundreds of RSS readers on the market. You can collect RSS Feeds on your "My Yahoo!" page, or your "MyMSN" page. Current, updated content from your preferred sites is presented for your reading pleasure. Check the first few lines and if you're interested, just click and you are instantly transported to that particular article. No more hunting around on a site looking for an article you like.

    Newsgator (www.newsgator.com) is a third-party add-in that turns your Outlook mail client into an RSS reader. Not to be outdone, Microsoft has incorporated an RSS reader into the latest release of Outlook.

    You can also get stand-alone RSS readers from Bloglines (www.bloglines.com) and RSSReader.com (www.rssreader.com). A quick Google search for "RSS Reader" returned over 2 million pages. You'll have no trouble finding an RSS reader that you like.

    How to Present with Passion and Energy
    “Jennifer, I am expecting you to come back with the order. Really, we need this sale to hit our numbers for the quota. Remember everything that we talked about.” Does this sound familiar? We’ve all been there, the requirement to give presentations or present proposals has been an essential part of the selling process for a long time. Many salespeople get anxious and are just happy to get through the presentation without the use of 40 “ums” and sweat dripping off their brow. Is it really that bad?

    Why Sales Training Fails
    If you’ve ever wondered why your sales teams struggle to consistently achieve sales targets despite investment in sales training, development and management, you’re not alone.Despite their best efforts most organisations are failing to achieve their full potential from sales training due to four main reasons;1. Most sales training has at best a short-term effect on performance because of a failure to consistently implement, apply and reinforce what is learnt.2. Sales managers (often top sales achievers themselves) lack a proven methodology to be truly effective at getting top perfor

    How Values Set You Apart
    In business you can't rest on your laurels; there are no guarantees. Ethical standards and staying on one's toes are a basic requirement to sustaining a competitive advantage for large and small companies alike. Facilitating the strategic thinking and planning process every few years is an ideal way to make sure that you continue to pursue forward-thinking strategies. A great way to start the process is by looking at core values.What do you want to create? What is important? How will your work contribute to others? How do you want to be known?PRIORITIESValues represent fundamental b

    But why?

    That's really the question. Of course we know why the internet folks want you to subscribe to their content, but why would the average websurfer want to go through the hassle of setting up and subscribing to RSS feeds?

    Privacy

    RSS feeds are more private than newsletters. Unlike when you subscribe to newsletters (where you must give your email address to the content provider so that the information can be emailed to you) when you subscribe to RSS Feeds, you don't have to give your email address (or any personal information) to the site owner, because they aren't mailing you their information.

    Something to consider - it is possible that content providers will start asking for personal information when subscribing to an RSS feed. It hasn't happened yet, so subscribe today before they start!

    Portability

    When I change email addresses or work on a different computer, I don't lose the content I like, because my RSS reader is keeping track of the content I want to see - without the involvement of the content provider. It's like radio stations on your Walkman. The station manager doesn't know when you change the station and if you move across town, you don't lose the stations. It's all in your Walkman. When you're using an online RSS reader (like My Yahoo! or MyMSN), your subscriptions are available from any computer, anywhere in the world.

    No 'Unsubscribe' Headaches

    When I'm tired of getting a newsletter, I am required to contact the publisher and "unsubscribe" to make the mailing stop. With RSS, you don't have to interact with the website owner to get off the list. Simply click the button in your RSS reader and it will stop collecting data from that site. You are in complete control.

    No More Spam

    Today, RSS is pure content. Because you didn't give out your email address to subscribe, you know that you won't get spammed. The internet folks have an incentive to keep the feed relatively ad-free. While you're reading their content in your RSS reader, if the content stops being interesting or becomes non-stop pitching, it is very easy for the reader (you) to disconnect. Most of these folks would rather keep you tuned in than to lose you forever.

    Think of it like television. If "CSI: Crime Scene Investigations" becomes a long series of commercials and no plot, people will change the channel, many never to re
