Are You Wasting Your Money on Diversity Training?
If you are planning to spend money on diversity training, WAIT!You may be wasting your money if you haven’t done any foundation building. If diversity and inclusion are not first integrated into your business strategy, very little will change just by holding one or two day training classes. Organizations in all sectors make this mistake and don’t realize it until it is too late.If you want to leverage the diversity you already have, increase the diversity of your organization, or prevent cultural misunderstandings you need to create a corporate culture that is inclusive at all levels, and in every system and proces

't just click on the icon of the e-book an hope to download it. I use an autoresponder system.

An autoresponder system works like this:

* A customer comes to my web site.

* The customer sees an e-book he likes.

* The customer clicks on "Buy Now".

* The customer is taken to "Paypal", an online payment service.

* After payment, my autoresponder service kicks in and provides the customer with a link where the e-book can be found (yes, mine are stored in a secret place!).

* The autoresponder is set up so that only the customer receives the link, not anyone else.

* The link is set up so the customer can download the ebook only once.

* The customer is advised that the file will be sent as a zip file in PDF format.

* The customer is advised to download a zip service or a PDF service if needed.

* The customer downloads the ebook to his/her computer, opens it, prints it up, and...

* Sits down with a cup of

The Five Million Dollar Cup Of Coffee!
I was very good friends with Edmund Ezel. He worked at the Falstaff Brewery in New Orleans for 40 years. He told me a story about a cousin of his that was worth a lot of money.Every time he saw his cousin, he would make it his business to be kind to him. Years passed by and he saw in the paper that his cousin had passed away. Edmund told me that he went to his cousin funeral. He knew that his cousin did not have any living relatives. To my knowledge I was the only cousin he had living. Edmund said that he was curious to find out to whom his cousin left all of his fortune.There were very few people at the fun

I just did a Google search of "e-books" (virtual books). Over 90 MILLION links came up.

Virtual books are an alternative to the ever-upward cost of actual books.

Virtual books:

* can be read from a computer screen

* are usually only in text form, though graphics can be included

* are printable (usually comes as a zip file in PDF form)

* are portable (can be downloaded to a palm pilot)

* are cheaper (no hardcover printing costs)

* don't take up all the shelf space of actual books

"Will a person really pay for an e-book when they can do a little internet research and get the information for free? The answer is: You betcha!"

The e-book process is often applied to college textbooks so students might pay only $29 for an e-textbook when they might normally pay $150 for the same hardcover version. College e-books can be purchased to be read on-line only or downloaded, though there's usually nothing stopping a student from copying and pasting the ebook into a Word document on their home pc. If the ebook merchant is savy about programming, he can place a script in his code that prevents a person from copying and pasting.

You might ask, "Will a person really pay for an e-book when they can do a little research and get the info for free?" My answer is: You betcha!

People with visual disabilities use computers. They have what is called a screen reader. Actual books aren't as valuable to them. With a screen reader a blind person can use a computer. My site is set up so people with visual disabilities (and a good screen reader) can benefit from it.

(Tangent here... I once read for a law student at Columbia University. He was blind. It was back in the mid 1980s. PC's hadn't yet come into vogue. The student had a book reader that he placed on each page. The reader would use light to scan the raised surface of the print as it lay on the page, but the technology wasn't that developed back then, so he hired me to read for him. Now with PCs and screen readers, people with visual disabilites can enjoy the internet)

My web site is an on-line business where people can purchase an ebook anywhere from $0.99 for one small ebook to $97.00 for a large batch of them.

My site is optimized for SEO (Search Engine Optimization as per Google's standards).

I'm also set up to have Google ads on my web page. If anyone comes to my web site and clicks on a Google ad (just clicks on it!) I get paid.

I'm set up with services that pay me just a little per click, others that pay more per click.

I'm set up with an ad service that allows ME to place my ad on Google's search engine findings. I have to pay for my ad being placed.

"My suggestion is that anyone surfing the internet should practice all due diligence when doing so."

I've connected with other internet marketers who have placed my icon on their page. I, in turn have placed their icon on my web site. I'm set up with over 30 other sites so that if someone comes to my page, clicks on another company's link, goes to their page and buys something, I get a % commission (yes, it really works... it's called being an affiliate). I've just done a Google search of "Affiliate Programs". Over 35 MILLION links came up.

Yes, some are scams. Most are legit. Life is like that. My suggestion is that anyone surfing the internet should practice all due diligence when doing so.

I receive oodles of newsletters about the industry of internet marketing. I spend the first hour each day going back and forth with email marketing and searching out information.

My web site coding is so set up with meta key words so the Google search robots crawl my site periodically.

I worked with an attorney and incorporated (I formed a Limited Liability Company - LLC... this is for tax and legal reasons).

The 8020 Rule Fallacy In Sales
The 80/20 rule in sales is not a myth. Believing that it is inevitable and that all sales organizations or service industry professionals must live with 80 percent of their sales team members selling only 20 percent of the products or services is the fallacy!The articles in my series of submissions to Ezine Articles were basically written to help sales managers, representatives and service industry professionals to eliminate the literally hundreds of sales and sales management myths that lead to an 80/20 configuration of their sales force in the first place. If you have read a number of these articles you learned that dev
