Decoding Cancer ? Has Science Discovered The Answer?
Cancer is caused by the alteration of a cell?s DNA, leading to cellular dysfunction. Altered cells replicate aggressively resulting in tumors which grow relentlessly invading their surroundings. Eventually healthy cells can be choked out, resulting in system failure and ultimately death.
Cancer can be caused by a variety of factors relating to genetics, environment, or diet. A normally functioning immune system will eliminate cancerous cells, but a weakened immune system can allow cancer to gain a foothold.
Therefore a proper functioning immune system is imperative in eliminating a cancerous growth, as well as preventing a tumor from forming. But for the immune system to function properly our cells must be able to communicate efficiently.
Every day we produce hundreds of thousands of cancerous cells, but a healthy immune system easily recognizes and disposes of the problem cells. It?s only when the immune system fails to recognize or eliminate these cells that cancer becomes a problem.
Glycobiology is the study of a group of saccharides, called glyconutrients, that are essential for proper bodily function. Researchers have found that every cell in our body communicates by using a combination of 8 glyconutrients. If a person is missing any of these important glyconutrients, the cells cannot communicate properly. Therefore a growing body of research indicates that glycobiology may hold the key to empowering the immune system in its struggle against cancer.
The United States and Australia spend more on healthcare than many other nations on the earth and yet they rank 37th and 32nd respectively in overall health. Despite spending large amounts of money combating sickness the statistics show we are losing the battle with aging and disease. For example, cancer accounts for nearly one quarter of deaths in the United States exceeded only by heart diseases. It is estimated that about 1.5 million new cases of cancer would be diagnosed and over 500 000 deaths from cancer were projected in the United States in 2009. What has gone wrong?
Science has now revealed a causative link between diet and disease. Too much processed, sucrose laden food combined with a lack of fresh fruits and vegetables, plays a primary role in this epidemic. In 2002 the American Medical Association, for the first time in history, began instructing doctors to suggest nutritional supplementation to all patients. Dietary deficiencies has contributed to a 30 decline in the function of the typical person?s immune system over the past several decades and this deterioration continues at a rate of nearly 3 per year.
My husband, Richard, through conventional means overcame cancer in 1990 but his doctor warned him the factors which caused the cancer in the first place still remain, diet and stress being two major contributors. She impressed upon him the importance of addressing these issues if he wanted to avoid a recurrence. Now, at the age of 47 he is still going strong having had no recurrences.
Research has shown that glyconutritional supplementation can radically improve the immune system?s ability to rid the body of malfunctioning cancerous cells.
You can join the thousands of people who are utilizing these 8 essential saccharides to give the immune system the raw materials that it needs to fight its battle fully armed.

Deciding Which It Skills To Pursue
Deciding Which It Skills To Pursue
IT skills are much more diverse than they once were. It used to be common to say that an individual worked in computers . Today, just about every field involves working with computers. This diversity of applications for IT means that individuals that may have never thought of themselves as technically minded can easily find a set of IT skills which is interesting to them.
Some IT skills are oriented towards creative endeavors such as web site design and Internet marketing. For individuals who love integrating the human touch into their IT skills, these are great choices. They allow one to develop significant technological knowledge but that knowledge is presented in a way where the creativity and human networking potential it affords are of the utmost importance. Understanding IT through this lens is oftentimes the best option for those whose personality is more artistic than technical.
Individuals who enjoy being the expert in any given situation may wish to pursue user support as a career option. The IT skills required to be an effective help desk technician are a blend of interpersonal skills, software troubleshooting abilities and hardware knowledge. Troubleshooting software over the phone is one of the most challenging endeavors the IT world offers but those who excel at it are quite frequently the heroes of end users who call in at their peak of frustration seeking a friendly, knowledgeable voice at the other end of the phone.
Overseeing the server operations of a company can be an intense, high stress job but, for those who have developed the right IT skills for the task, it s all in a day s work. Server administration is usually the highest level of regular IT employment available at most companies. These individuals work in the most critical areas of IT, keeping the server level software running, adding components that increase the business s IT assets and making sure that the company is protected from the constantly evolving threats to security that characterize the networking world. Among computer technicians, these individuals are some of the most respected. This position generally carries with it a great deal of authority and is appropriate for those who enjoy and excel at being in leadership roles.
There are some IT skills that can seem, at times, to be downright magical. Those skills are usually possessed by network engineers. These individuals design, deploy and maintain server technologies and networking technology at the most advanced levels. These are the people who can read server logs as if they were written in plain English, can fix just about any problem and who can design innovative solutions that allow companies to get the most out of their software and hardware investments. There are few who do not look up to the IT skills these individuals possess. Less a leadership role than a server administrator, a network engineer s role is usually one of the outside contractor who comes into a business and makes everything work as if it were an orchestra being conducted by a skilled hand.

Dedicated Career Builder ? Leverage On An Untapped Resource
Dedicated Career Builder ? Leverage On An Untapped Resource
The trends now in job hunting has changed and slowly, job seekers and employers are beginning to realise the power of an employment agency and a head hunting resource to aid in the search. What you need to understand is that this is one of the most untapped resources on the market for people wanting to find either the perfect job or the perfect employee. When thinking about this, you need to understand that a head hunting company or a human resource management coalition is your key to career building. In their role as a career builder, they will be able to help you find job positions that are suitable for your credentials and preferences. More importantly, they have the wide range of contacts that you do not have.
Imagine if you will someone who is on a specific career path and would like to accelerate their career paths with another job of similar structure but different perspective. The first thing that they would do is to look for the job that fits this description, but then they have to wrestle with the varying ways that they can do this. One way is for them to look at the news papers and periodicals where companies would often post their job needs, and sometimes this can be like a wild stab in the dark because there is no guarantee that the job of your dreams will be posted there.
Another thing is that you might want to go online and search there, and while this is a much better way to navigate the job market, you also come into a problem where millions of people all over the region or the world, depending on the nature of the job search engine, would be contesting for the same cyberspace interview. Companies who are posting their needs online would normally be overrun with emails and revenues of people wanting the job, and there is no real personal touch to this.
What they get is a disembodied email and all you can do to sell yourself is with your email introduction and of course the actual resume. You would be shocked to know that employers only look at less than 40 of resumes sent to them, they often make their decisions to view a resume in full by the bio of the person, and the email or letter sent to them.
This means that your bid to work in that organisation would be buried under a pile of digital data. You need to have a clear path to the companies of your choice and you need to have that personal touch, or a formal introduction. The repute of an employment agency is one that you can leverage on and companies often take a good view to candidates that have been recommended in this way to them. It increases your favourability factor and would give you a better percentile chance of getting the job. So instead of battling out with the rest of the people seeking the same kind of job as you are, you might want to opt for the help of an employment agency to give you that extra edge.

Dealing With Fraud Buyers
Dealing With Fraud Buyers
How to manage risk as a seller
Unfortunately, as an eBay seller there is no way for you to avoid buyer fraud entirely. It happens on eBay, and depending on the type of goods you sell, it may happen a lot. Buyer fraud, however, is not a phenomenon unique to eBay. It is also rampant in the "offline" world in similar measures by product type. Buyer fraud can include:
? Unwarranted returns. Often these occur when a buyer purchases, then either uses an item or exchanges component(s) in it for broken components from a similar item, then attempts to make a return for a refund.
? Service blackmail. This occurs when a buyer uses some kind of leverage to obtain better pricing, additional goods or accessories, or enhanced service from a seller. Often this takes the form of feedback or credit card (including PayPal) chargeback threats?the buyer promises that something bad will happen to the seller or the seller's ability to do business if demands are not met.
? Payment fraud. The most common types of payment fraud are credit card fraud and PayPal payments made with stolen accounts, both of which can leave the seller holding the bag.
Also common are bad checks or bad money orders.
? Auction tampering. This less common but no less damaging type of "buyer" fraud doesn't include a real buyer at all, but rather someone who wins every one of a seller's auctions (whether using the Buy It Now button or by bidding very high amounts) with no intention of ever paying for any of them. The perpetrators of such acts are generally either former buyers who are (fairly or unfairly) disgruntled or competing sellers, sometimes acting through sham accounts so as not to be caught.
With the exception of auction tampering, each of these types of buyer fraud are age-old problems for retail stores as well, and eBay sellers certainly aren't immune to them. Can you defend yourself? You can, to some extent. Read on to find out how.
Steps you can take to combat bad buyers
There are a few simple steps that you can take to try to counter the most common types of buyer fraud. Though they aren't by any means a panacea, they can at least offer you some cover in dispute resolution and some hope of a positive outcome:
? Cover yourself in your item descriptions. Always state both the condition of your item and the entirety of your return policy very clearly and adamantly in your item listing. If you will accept returns or exchanges on the item, state also the limits of your return or exchange policy, including time limits, restocking fees, and shipment responsibilities/refunds. For AS-IS items, clearly state "This item is sold AS-IS, with no warranty expressed or implied, no refunds or exchanges will be granted for any reason whatsoever; BUYER BEWARE!"
? Don't be afraid to leave negative feedback. Negative feedback is the only way other sellers have to know about your horrible experience with a bad buyer.
As a seller, it may help you to think of feedback as a kind of seller's union?if all sellers leave clear feedback about all buyers, every seller will have that much more potential information about trading partners at his or her fingertips. Furthermore, eBay members whose feedback descends far enough into negative territory are automatically suspended?meaning that negative feedback is also a great way to eventually get bad buyers off of the site.
? Block difficult or problem buyers from your auctions. Use the tools on the eBay website to cancel bids from or block buyers with whom you've had problems in the past so that they are not able to bid on your auctions any longer. If you have blocked a bidder and suspect that they have come back under a new user ID to bid again, contact eBay and report it. They will likely be suspended as a result.
? Keep proof of shipment and delivery on hand. When a buyer opens a dispute with eBay or a credit card company, your best defense as a seller is to keep a copy of all shipping information on hand, including delivery date as certified by the shipper. Often such documentation alone is enough to decide a case in the seller's favor. As an aside, if as a seller you aren't using trackable shipping methods for your auctions, consider starting now.
? Report bad buyers immediately. In the cases of auction tampering and payment fraud, notify eBay immediately. Not only does eBay take the threat of fraud and site tampering very seriously, they will also take steps to ensure that such members are banned from the site and (whenever eBay is aware of them) kept out.
? Take payment fraud prevention measures. Both PayPal and most financial institutions hosting merchant accounts have clearly stated policies about the relationships between accepted payments and account information for those payments (including names, shipping addresses, and other information). Read the seller account information provided by your payment processor for details on accepting payments and making shipments in ways that ensure minimal risk to you.
? Protect yourself from bad payments. Avoid accepting personal checks, money orders, and other forms of "paper" payment unless you are willing to accept the risk that they inevitably present. If you accept PayPal payments, connect your PayPal account to a bank account dedicated specifically to your eBay activity, and empty it of funds regularly to ensure that no buyer can initiate a large chargeback or fraudulent claim and freeze an unduly large portion of your assets.
There's No Perfect Protection
Even after taking steps to combat buyer fraud, there is nothing you can do to avoid it entirely, nor will you ever be able to prevent angry emails from buyers who are unhappy, whether you feel that their reasons are sound or not. There also little that you can do to avoid negative feedback that you feel is unwarranted from angry buyers. eBay considers feedback to be an open forum in which members are free to speak their minds about one another, including about any disputes or disagreements that they've had.
Ultimately, if you are a busy seller dedicated to good service, your positive feedback and positive sales revenue will always far outweigh any unwarranted negative feedback or the occasional (and inevitable) problem or fraudulent buyer. At the same time, problem buyers often quickly accumulate negatives from unhappy sellers and are quickly removed from eBay as a result.

Debt Or Equity? Which Is Superior For Your Franchise?
Debt Or Equity? Which Is Superior For Your Franchise?
The available source of funding is the engine of development for many smaller businesses. With it, you can develop your small business and explore potentially lucrative possibilities. Without it, you could be compelled to build your business at a snail s rate.
The two methods of obtaining the financial resources your business needs: debt and equity. The former signifies funds you ll need to pay back usually with interest. The second option represents funds you ll receive in exchange for an ownership share of your company; in this short article, we ll explore the advantages and drawbacks of using both options of financing.
Advantages Of Borrowing Capital
Loan financing usually takes a few forms. For instance, you can approach the bank for a short term bridge loan, line of credit, or long term commercial loan with terms that extend over several years. It s worth mentioning that when you borrow funds for the company, the unsettled debt is recognized as a liability (from an accounting viewpoint).
The benefits of credit involve tax write offs, undiluted possession of the small business, and flexibility within your company s credit debt portfolio. First, regarding taxes, the interest you pay back on the amount you borrow is deductible; it is regarded as a business cost. Second, lenders do not receive an ownership position in your company. Third, as already implied, you will find myriad varieties of borrowing, that provides you with lots of versatility to customize the debt portfolio for your desires.
Drawbacks Of Borrowing Funds
Among the drawbacks of credit is the fact that you ll eventually need to pay back the amount you borrowed with interest. That increases the break even point.
One more drawback is the majority of debt tools have terms that require scheduled repayments; even if your small business is experiencing a cash flow shortfall, you still need to fulfill the conditions to which you agreed.
Also, according to the association you might have with the lender, the quantity you wish to borrow, as well as your company s track record, you might be required to promise collateral; if you go into default on the loan, this collateral could be seized.
Advantages Of Equity Capital
Equity funding is generally provided by investment capital companies, private investors, and family and friends. These people agree to produce funds in exchange for an ownership position in your company.
Many entrepreneurs and small enterprise owners select this form of funding mainly because they cannot borrow capital at a affordable interest rate. Or, they re uncertain regarding their capability to accomplish this. Equity precludes their need to qualify to borrow.
An additional advantage is that you are not required to meet a pre established payment schedule of principle and interest; instead, investors are compensated through long term growth, distribution of annual earnings, and capital gains after selling of their respective stakes.
Additionally, in case your small business does not produce a income, you re not legally compelled to pay back your investors; nor could your investors seize the assets.
Drawbacks Of Equity Financing
The two main main disadvantages to utilizing equity financing. First, surrendering an ownership stake to a new party affects your autonomy in making decisions for the company, this could restrict your versatility regarding business strategy and creative control. Moreover, should you cede an ownership position to a number of parties, your flexibility is further restricted.
Second, because equity dilutes the ownership, it dilutes your privileges on the profit your business creates; in relinquishing shares of the company in exchange for capital, you essentially lose that bit of your business.
Blending The two Sources Of Financing
Preferably, you should pursue both kinds of financing. Strive for a balance around an even split (i.e. 1:1 debt to equity ratio) to double equity as debt (i.e. 1:2 ratio). Too much debt exposes you to short term marketplace volatility; a downturn in demand from customers could make it tough to service the debt; on another hand, too much equity can significantly dilute your possession and limit your control.
With the above in mind, it s important to note that every business is distinct. Startups usually have much more equity than debt because of a reduced credit history; proven businesses will have a much more balanced debt to equity ratio; as your company expands, keep the benefits and drawbacks of the two kinds of financing in mind to develop a well balanced portfolio that accommodates your needs.

Again, when this retirement issue arises, many people look at it as the day when they can finally enjoy life relatively to leisure and relaxation from all the tiring and grinding at their specific workplaces. It's always nice on their behalf to travel around the world and finally kiss the stressful moments in the past goodbye with all the benefits and pensions set aside from everything.
Furthermore, this could not be just the time when the retirees can spend some time on their own but also with their family members especially their grandchildren. Everyone wants a special time with their cute little angels and so with the rest of the family.

Life is full of everything. One has to accept it in whatever way they planned it to be. It is like saying that nobody can be vital enough with the whole thing set before them unless they work hard for it. This is a very important aspect to think about by each and every person because whatever one does in the present could continually be a main cause for whatever that is going to happen in the future.
In the beginning of the persons career, one always makes extremely large various plans when it comes to whatever the future holds. Anticipations often arise inside a persons mind regarding the goals in the future. One may have to think of having a nice and huge house before and after settling and having a family of his own. Some would even plan of getting a major event in life that would definitely make a difference from the past. However, others may just have to live in whatever way in accordance to their status and lifestyle.
With all the extraordinary concrete plans for life, it is always a wise move having to decide on putting on some savings for the future. Yes, one may have a huge quantity of earnings during the present, but each one of these accomplishments will be put into waste if a person just has to live with it as being it is. With that sort of attitude, one might never take it easy once retirement period comes.
When we talk about retirement, it is the point in ones life the place where a person finally decides to leave working mode. It doesn't necessarily means that a person might have to be the one to decide, but additional factors may be considered, like health and all. Most of the individuals who reach the age of fifty five and above are the ones who experience this retirement issues.
Though there are some that has to undergo a force retirement system due to reasonable reasons behind. Again, when this retirement issue arises, many people look at it as the day when they can finally enjoy life relatively to leisure and relaxation from all the tiring and grinding at their specific workplaces.

Deciding When To Use Digital Printing Or Offset Printing
Deciding When To Use Digital Printing Or Offset Printing
Offset printing is considered the grand father of all printing processes. They may be old but the offset printing process has stood the test of time and up to today brings quality prints at very affordable prices. However, offset printing relies heavily on mechanical processes such as plate production, because of this you need to have bulk orders of prints in order for your materials to be cost effective.
Printing companies overcame this short coming with the development of various technologies - namely digital printing. In this day and age, computers play a big role in how we live our lives. And it has increased the effectiveness of several appliances and functions. The improvements extends to different things even extend toward the real of printing.
Digital printing uses the aid of computers in order to process your prints and produce them without the use of plates and other mechanical processes like film stripping and color separation. Because of this, a wide array of printing options has become available to people and there is greater freedom on how they want their prints done.
In order to help you decide whether you want to print your materials in offset or in digital, here are the pros and cons of using digital printing:
1. Printing thru the digital method is definitely cheaper than offset printing when it comes to short run prints. On bulk orders however, offset printing is still king. As I have said earlier, printing thru the digital process does not require mechanical processes that add to the production cost. Printing digitally uses direct to printer technology that allows them to print your materials in short run and print them at very cost effective rates. However, plates are necessary to create large number of prints as such, when you order in bulk and you need your prints at a fast turn around time, offset printing should be your choice.
2. Both printing technologies offer full color printing process. However, unless you plan to print in short run, offset printing is still the best option that you can have. Both printing technologies use the four color process using yellow, cyan, black and magenta to produce different hues. The only difference is that the offset printing process ?stamps? the colors in the substrate using the plate and the ink rollers. On the digital printers, the ink is just sprayed on top of your substrate.
3. For emergency processes and when you want your prints done in rush processes, then you should definitely choose digital printing. Offset printing requires a lot of pre-press set up and the processes that you go thru are time consuming but unavoidable. Digital printing allows you to by pass all mechanical processes and lets you print your materials at very fast turn arounds.
4. Digital prints and printing is still in its infancy stage and many design options are still not available thru digital means. Processes like embossed printing, stamping, special custom folding and stapling are processes that can?t be done through digital means - YET. Just wait for more technological advances to make this services available when you print digitally.

Dealing With Stress During Your MBA Interview
Dealing With Stress During Your MBA Interview
So you want to go to graduate school and get an MBA. If you are at the beginning stages of this process you can benefit from the advice available before you ever start. The application process involves writing essays, taking tests, preparing your resume and MBA interviews. Even before that you need to find the right school. Don't automatically apply to the first one that comes to mind. It may not be a good fit for you.
There are many resources available to help you find your way through the application process. Some only cover part of the process others such as MBA Bootcamp walk you through the selection of an appropriate school through writing resumes to preparing for MBA interviews. It does you no good to apply at schools which are out of your league either because you do not have the academic background to make it there or the financing to pay for it. Don't shy away from applying at Stanford though. If you are a fit, you have a chance.
The college application process should be taken very seriously. The colleges you apply to, the colleges that accept you, which one you choose to attend will have a profound effect on the path you will travel in the future. Colleges have different requirements for admission as well. At the graduate level most require MBA interviews. Prepare for them as you would for a job interview at a company you really want to work at. Do your legwork. Check out the college information and then visit the college. Find out how current students feel about it. What do they like, what don't they like? How do you feel about their issues?
When visiting a college, try sitting in on a few classes. Make appointments to meet with professors teaching in the MBA program. Get a feeling for the campus and its atmosphere. Do you feel at home there? Does it excite you to think you could be joining their community? College visits give you insight into how your personality fits with the rest of the college community that you can use when you write your essays and return for your MBA interviews. Even if you never mentioned your college visit in the essay, the understanding you gleam during a visit will seep into the way you write your essay.
MBA interviews are likely the most stressful part of the college application process. In surveys the fear of public speaking is high on the list of human fears. Interviews can be interviews with a single admissions officer or with a group of admissions officers. If you have never been to a panel type interview you may want to practice that. Speaking to three people can be surprisingly different from having a conversation with a single individual. Find out early on if it makes a difference to the way you act and improve on any anxieties you discover. Remember, you are preparing to choose your path for the next few years of your life and possibly the direction it will take for decades.

5 Must Have Qualities Required To Succeed In Affiliate Marketing
5 Must Have Qualities Required To Succeed In Affiliate Marketing
The idea of being mere passengers on a ship meant to sail to the farthest points does not appeal to people who like to put their destiny into their own hands. They have the desire of maneuvering the ships themselves, of being able to be the ones to take it anywhere they want to. Being aboard a ship on its way to a particularly great destination is something each and every one of them dreams of, and the knowledge that they have the capacity to steer it themselves is what makes them actually want to.
Perhaps this is the reason why more and more people are succumbing to one of the most popular businesses around ? affiliate marketing. It is because in this business, there are no bosses to order the employees around. There are no deadlines to meet and no clutter of work do to. One only needs to be equipped with the tools needed to succeed in a business such as this, and he is bound to get what his heart ultimately desires.
Just what are the things needed to be able to succeed in affiliate marketing? What must one have within himself to be able to do well in this industry? There is a lot of competition involved in affiliate marketing, and to be able to rise above the norm, one must be equipped with just the right stuff necessary to propel him forward. There are five things one must ultimately possess if he wants to achieve the glory he is yearning for in this business, and these five things are a must for him to possess to be able to stand out among the rest.
The very first quality one must possess if he wants to try his hand in affiliate marketing is the willingness to learn and be trained. Treading through unfamiliar territory is scary stuff if one is not properly equipped, and he might get lost amidst a jungle of the unknown. Learning the tricks of the trade is also an important aspect of the game, and one?s willingness to know it all will give him far better advantages in the business than he could ever imagine.
The second quality one must possess is the willingness to invest time and effort even if direct results do not seem at all apparent. Although several months may pass without good news, it is important for one who has his foot in the industry to hold on and wait. It is this quality which would save him from giving up after investing a lot of himself in the business.
The third quality one must possess is self-determination. If one wants to conquer the affiliate marketing world, he must have the ability to push himself ahead. Never having to say die is a quality each and every affiliate marketer should possess, and the ability to motivate oneself into scaling greater heights is an ability which would actually take an affiliate marketer there.
The fourth quality one must possess is discipline. If one knows how to teach himself to work everyday with all the energy he can muster, then he is close to achieving what he has set his heart to having in the first place.
The fifth and last quality one must possess is optimism. Negative attitudes and hearsays should not discourage an affiliate marketer from pursuing what he has to in order to make life better for himself and for everyone concerned. Neither should anyone influence his attitude toward the business, because once in it, it is a must for him to be the captain of his ship and the master of his soul.
The ingredients to success in a business such as affiliate marketing are diverse and manifold, but the most important thing one needs to be able to make it big lies in himself alone. It is he who has the capacity to do everything to be able to realize his prospects, and the desire which fuels his heart in doing so is the gasoline which should keep the engine going.
Affiliate marketing is all about putting one?s fate into his own hands. The right attitude is the key to being able to steer one?s ship into that part of the ocean where a certain kind of serenity can be found, one that permeates the atmosphere as the ship sails calmly on.

De Railed Job Opportunities In A Looming Recession?
De Railed Job Opportunities In A Looming Recession?
With a Chancellor who thinks that the UK economy is in its worst crisis for 60 years, continuing news reports of recession and credit crunches galore, the job market has seen a sharp increase in the number of unemployed recently. But is it all doom and gloom? The simple answer is ?no?. The public sector is still recruiting happily, with more than 55 pages of public sector and utilities vacancies in a recent national newspaper on one day alone. This plethora of public sector vacancies shows how buoyant the jobs market is, despite the depressing numbers reported in the news.
Chief amongst those public sector jobs are railroad jobs and employment opportunities within the rail industry. The railways are an integral part of UK business infrastructure, and they have to be maintained and run, no matter what the rest of the economy is doing. Rail employment has always been seen as a reliable industry to move into, offering job security, good pensions and good wages in comparison to other sectors. In an economy that is working hard to maintain momentum, the railways have to be running at optimum efficiency to allow freight and passengers to be moved around the country effectively. That takes manpower, and a lot of it.
Despite the fear of a deepening recession, London is gearing itself up to the 2012 Olympics by putting in new infrastructure across the whole of the capital and the East End in particular. That means more railways, and consequently more rail jobs on offer. The major overhaul of London?s transportation system is essential if the arteries of the capital are to remain free flowing and unclogged. Rail jobs include everything from platform assistants to highly qualified civil engineers, so the range of railroad jobs available encompasses a broad range of professions. Salaries for civil engineers can range from ?40,000 to ?60,000, depending on experience. Then there are the benefits, including pension plans, reduced rail fairs for family members and other perks. Rail job packages are some of the most attractive in the public sector, so it is unsurprising that they generate a big response when advertised.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies has estimated that the generous pension schemes offered by the public sector make workers in these positions 12 better off financially than private sector workers on the same salary. So the benefits of working within the public sector (apart from greater job security) are obvious.
The UK has a rich industrial history, with the railways at the very heart of its success. As the UK moves into a new era, the railways are still essential to the profitability of UK PLC. If you include into that equation the promotion of the railways as an alternative means of transport for beleaguered car drivers, then the railway?s future looks assured. In an age where job security is seen as a thing of the past, rail jobs may offer the only, truly secure form of public sector employment available. People will always need the railways. And the railways will always need people. It?s a symbiotic relationship that benefits everyone, particularly those who choose to work within the industry.

Database Marketing: What You Should Know
Database Marketing: What You Should Know
Database marketing is now an essential part of marketing. It involves a business to take advantage in directly contacting individual consumer names who may be interested in their products. These databases of people are some of the best potential customers out there as they have already made a purchase or have shown interest in the products and services that you are providing. However, database marketing does not appeal to everyone.
Database marketing can be summed up in the following way:
Targeted: directly reaching the consumer in a suitable way for them, to prompt a response
Direct: communications flow directly between the organisation and the consumer, with no intermediary. Consumers can physically touch, see or hear the communication to them as individuals
Marketing: it helps meets consumers' needs and the organisation's profit sales and other objectives
Database marketing involves information that is compiled about people from their previous histories. For example, people who fill out forms such as credit card inquiries, free products, subscription forms and charity forms have their names and information gathered together. Companies can then look at this database of information and work out which other products they may be interested in. The customer names, addresses and other information are collected together and stored in a database which can then be sold to others.
Although organisations of any size can use database marketing, it is particularly well-suited to companies with large numbers of customers. The reason for this is that a large population provides greater opportunity to find segments of customers that can be communicated with in a customised way. In smaller databases, it will be difficult to justify the investment required to differentiate messages.
Because of this, database marketing has worked best in sectors such as financial services, telecommunications, and retail, which all have the ability to generate large amounts of transaction data for millions of customers.
People who are against database marketing claim that there is a need for protection from junk mail and spam and companies who send this advertising are violating their privacy. On the other side, however, companies who use database marketing feel that it is something people really want, and perhaps even requested. It provides a great way of people connecting businesses and services to the customers who want them.
The advantages of database marketing are that it provides people with advertising and promotional information that has their name on the front. Database marketing strengthens advertising opportunities, leading individuals to believe that the product was selected especially for them. It is an effective way to stay profitable because you are connecting with customers that have already shown a vested interest in this type of product.
It is up to you as to whether you take advantage of these opportunities or not. Many businesses find it to be an excellent way to reach solid customers. Also, because the information provided is not sensitive information, many people do not object to being in database systems therefore it may be in your best interest to adopt the database marketing method to strengthen your business.

Dealing With Angry Customers Everything You Need To Know
Dealing With Angry Customers Everything You Need To Know
Handling a contractor business is not at all easy. Beating deadlines, going from project site to project site, managing budgets, working with subcontractors and other employees, keeping track of various sales and orders are only a few of the tasks a contractor must juggle in doing his/her job. Pressure is always high in the contracting world and the tension tends to make tempers fly off the handle. What to do when a customer starts to throw a fit? What is the proper way to react to a situation when a client begins to rant and rave like a deranged human being?
1. Keep your cool.
This is the most important thing to remember when dealing with angry customers. It will only make the situation worse if you turn it into a screaming match. Keep your voice low. Lowering your voice will help the angry customer calm down. It will make him/her realize that you don?t want to pick a fight, that business is business and you?re only doing your job.
2. Be professional.
Even when the client is practically throwing his/her shoes at you, remain professional. Continue to address him/her as ?Madam? or ?Sir.? Don?t roll your eyes or make rude facial expressions. Tell the customer that you?re doing everything you can to solve whatever problem they have. If you feel that you can?t handle the case properly yourself, call your supervisor or a colleague who can help you deal with the situation better. Don?t just stand there and stare. Let the customer see that you?re doing everything you can to attend to whatever it is that they?re requesting.
3. The customer is always right.
Yes, whether you like it or not, this is a fundamental truth in the business world. Your customer is paying you to do your job, so you better do it right. Never tell your customer that whatever problem they?re having is their fault (even if it really is). The point is that you are there to help them. If you think that what the client is requesting is a little over the top, simply say ?Yes, madam/sir, I will see if we can accommodate your request. I will do whatever I can in my power to help you.?
4. Train your employees to handle delicate situations.
You can?t always be around 24/7 to solve situations involving angry customers. However, one mistake from an employee can damage your reputation or make you lose an important client. Therefore, training your employees how to handle difficult situations is a must. Hold sessions for employees at least once every six months to answer their questions and teach them how to deal with different kinds of people in difficult situations. Have older employees ?supervise? new ones. Come up with a manual that?ll describe different kinds of possible situations and how an employee must react to them. Tell them that politeness is a rule in your company.
5. Be safe.
In the event that a customer becomes really aggressive and abusive, it would be best to call for security back up. Do this quietly and professionally. Telling the customer ?I?m calling for security? will only further aggravate the case. Simply excuse yourself for a while and call for help. Safety is always first.

Handling a contractor business is not at all easy. Beating deadlines, going from project site to project site, managing budgets, working with subcontractors and other employees, keeping track of various sales and orders are only a few of the tasks a contractor must juggle in doing his/her job. Pressure is always high in the contracting world and the tension tends to make tempers fly off the handle. What to do when a customer starts to throw a fit? What is the proper way to react to a situation when a client begins to rant and rave like a deranged human being?
1. Keep your cool.
This is the most important thing to remember when dealing with angry customers. It will only make the situation worse if you turn it into a screaming match. Keep your voice low. Lowering your voice will help the angry customer calm down. It will make him/her realize that you don?t want to pick a fight, that business is business and you?re only doing your job.
2. Be professional.
Even when the client is practically throwing his/her shoes at you, remain professional. Continue to address him/her as ?Madam? or ?Sir.? Don?t roll your eyes or make rude facial expressions. Tell the customer that you?re doing everything you can to solve whatever problem they have. If you feel that you can?t handle the case properly yourself, call your supervisor or a colleague who can help you deal with the situation better. Don?t just stand there and stare. Let the customer see that you?re doing everything you can to attend to whatever it is that they?re requesting.
3. The customer is always right.
Yes, whether you like it or not, this is a fundamental truth in the business world. Your customer is paying you to do your job, so you better do it right. Never tell your customer that whatever problem they?re having is their fault (even if it really is). The point is that you are there to help them. If you think that what the client is requesting is a little over the top, simply say ?Yes, madam/sir, I will see if we can accommodate your request. I will do whatever I can in my power to help you.?
4. Train your employees to handle delicate situations.
You can?t always be around 24/7 to solve situations involving angry customers. However, one mistake from an employee can damage your reputation or make you lose an important client. Therefore, training your employees how to handle difficult situations is a must. Hold sessions for employees at least once every six months to answer their questions and teach them how to deal with different kinds of people in difficult situations. Have older employees ?supervise? new ones. Come up with a manual that?ll describe different kinds of possible situations and how an employee must react to them.

Data Recovery Software: How It Works
Data Recovery Software: How It Works
Let?s face it, technology, wonderful and amazing and magical as it is, doesn?t always work. Even with high end, top of the line software and gadgets that are available to us today, chances are, we are still bound to encounter glitches and ?technical difficulties?, and I?m sure that not even you have been spared from encountering such problems.
One such problematic area of computer technology is the hard drive, that component of our systems that store our digitally encoded data. At one point or another, at the beginning, middle or end of its natural life, a hard drive may be susceptible to errors or damage in several forms that may result in the loss of the data stored in these drives.
Some of these errors include:
1. User errors ? these errors occur when files are accidentally deleted or overwritten
2. Software errors ? this happens when the software writes files to the wrong parts of the disk
3. Electronic failures ? this is a physical failure of the hard drive, and usually happens when the hard drive encounters a power surge or a burst of static electricity.
4. Arm and platter failures ? some of the most serious damage to a hard disk can occur when the hard drive arm fails, eventually scratching your data right off the platter. These sorts of errors are the most difficult to resolve and often involve the help of a technical specialist.
User errors are usually the easiest errors to recover from. This is because files are not usually erased when they are deleted from the system. ?Delete? in this sense really means that the file has only been removed from the directory listing in your computer, or its table of contents, but the actual file is still present in the hard drive.
The only problem here is that accessing or locating that ?deleted? or missing file is not easy anymore because of the fact that it has been removed from the directory, which helps the system find the correct file quickly and easily. In order to find the missing files, data recovery has to be undertaken.
Data recovery functions by reorganizing the computer operating system?s file system so your files can be accessed again. The file system (usually called FAT or file allocation table) is your system?s way of indexing and keeping tabs on where all the files are located. Missing data therefore is located for recovery, however, most find that locating files is not an easy task.
This is the work of data recovery software. Most off the shelf pro consumer data recovery software will do the trick, that is, if you are recovering files after a user error has occurred. However, more complicated maneuvers are necessary for errors that occur due to software failure or physical hard drive failures.
The good news is that these sorts of errors do not happen often. Usually, the case of missing or deleted files that are in need of recovery are due to user errors, and as such, your average data recovery software should do the job. It must be noted though, that while some data recovery software is easy to use and friendly to the non technical majority of the population, there are others that are on the professional end of the scale and will need a lot more technical know how than the consumer friendly options.
Your Best Solutions
An ounce of prevention is still better than a pound of cure, so to make sure that you don?t encounter problems with recovering your data from a failed hard drive, the best measure is to ensure that it doesn?t happen.
Solution: back up your hard drive. This is a proven preventive maintenance task, and it will make sure that if your hard drive crashes, you have a surefire way to recover your data without having to go through the hardships (and believe us, it is a difficult process) of manually recovering your data.
If you haven?t backed up your data, on the other hand, go with purchasing data recovery software, especially if you are recovering data from user errors and not from serious software issues or hard drive failures. If the latter is your case, then you might need to consult a professional.

Data Recovery On External Hard Drives
Data Recovery On External Hard Drives
Perhaps you are already aware of the fact that the data on your computer can be stored in many different ways, such as CD?s, removable disks or DVDs and so on. I may also agree with the fact that all machines reach a point where they crash, with or without any obvious reasons. Floods, fires or human mistakes can be among them, if you were looking for actual examples!
Loss of data is one of the major negative effects these break downs can cause, therefore one must try to prevent them as much as possible. You may always simply want to delete a file, but you do it on another one by mistake. On the other hand, the hard drive may fail in an attempt to open a file, or the whole operating system can crash and leave you with nothing!
In order to solve any of these problems and be safe from any computer break down, the best option you have is contacting an external hard drive data recovery specialist.
In case you are wondering what external hard drive data recovery means, it is simply the method of recovering the damaged data that has been lost from external hard drives, such as Fireware or USB. Generally speaking, this is not a very difficult process, just that there are times when it may get more time consuming.
The process of recovering data from external hard drives starts by a thorough analysis of the external hard drive in question. There are many external hard drive specialists who can easily get to solution of your problem and set the scope of the damage. They are the ones to decide the part of the data that can be recovered, but also establish the best way to take in order to successfully retrieve that particular data. This first evaluation is said to be rather expensive, but if you investigate the market a little, you will surely find the companies which actually do it for free.
Unfortunately, the rest of the recovery process is not cheap at all. The company will provide an amount of money that covers the full costs of the project. This figure must cover for the service the company puts in to obtain your data and the amount of data restored, therefore don?t expect it to be a bargain!
There is nothing more for you to do now, than expect the specialists deal with the damage and recover your data!

Data Entry Work At Home
Data Entry Work At Home
There are many different reasons that people decide to do data entry work at home. For many people it is just the love of it.
When you really start thinking about this, you start asking yourself "Why do I really want to get into doing data entry work at home?" For some people, this is a pretty straight forward answer; they just love to type and are looking for something that pays them for this skill. For others, it is simply something to do in their spare time that can bring in a little extra money for that special gift or something that you want to buy. You might also be surprised to learning that some people take these kinds of jobs to improve their typing and computer skills while earning themselves some cash too.
Flexible Hours
This is one of the most thought about aspects of doing data entry work at home, the fact that you are pretty much free to set your own hours. This is absolutely perfect if you happen to be one of the many who are night owls that don't mind working while everyone else around them is asleep. Another thing that people love about doing this is that you can work as little as an hour or all night if you really wanted to. How little or how much you work all depends upon how much you've got to type out and how fast you type.
They Just LOVE to Type
A good many of those who take data entry work at home jobs do this for the sheer pleasure of being able to do something that lets them type away to their heart's content. If you are an excellent typist or just enjoy pounding away at the keyboard to input information into forms, letters and documents; then you have come to the right place! In these jobs you will not have someone looking over your shoulder, as you're working at home; or telling that you type way too much. This is one case where this is actually an advantage!
Wanting to Improve Your Skills
Can you type but your skills are a bit rusty? This is actually why some people start doing data entry jobs; as it involves a good bit of type. What doesn't matter here is if you are typing in a computer or typewriter keyboard. The point is that you simply love to do this type of work and don't mind working a bit harder to better your skills. Have you ever thought that there was no possible way to improve your typing speed? This could not be further from the truth here my friend. The old adage "Practice makes perfect" really does apply here!

Data Recovery Made Simple
Data Recovery Made Simple
Most of you must already know that the data you save on your computer is being practically stored on media like magnetic disks, hard disks, RAID configurations of hard disks. Data can also ve stored on , floppy disks, tapes, CDs, DVDs and other types of media.
Generally speaking, data recovery is the process of restoring the data that has previously been stored on such media types, but, due to some sorry events, has become inaccessible or corrupt. There are many ways to destroy the data stored on hard disks or any other media type. Just think of the terrible damage that virus attacks can cause! Not to speak about accidents like floods or fires! Fortunately, there is hope! Mankind has developed several techniques in order to recover the missing or damaged data. The data can be recovered by means of hardware or software techniques, either by a simple user or, in the more serious cases, by a data recovery specialist.
The main helper in the matter of data recovery is the fact that a deleted file is not actually deleted from the storage media. You can only delete the entry in the index pointing to the actual location of the file that has been erased. Not many people are aware that the file itself is left intact! The only thing you must worry about is that any other activity one performs on that particular computer could endanger the data, as it can easily overwrite the location where the file was stored. This is the main reason why it is highly advisable to have a data recovery specialist attempt to solve such a problem, and not the inexperienced user.
Therefore, prevention is the key to all of your problems! Why get in trouble when you can avoid it! It is advisable to build up a disaster recovery plan and to always have backups done. Of course, these backups should be stored in another location than the main data.
Another useful tip would be immediately stopping whenever you believe that you have experienced any loss of data. Any software that you install or run on the computer can cause this problem, so make sure to report all your previous actions to the data recovery specialist. That is if you follow my advice and never try to recover the damaged data yourself! Otherwise no one will ever be able to save you!

Dangerous Of Using A Cheap Virtual Office
Dangerous Of Using A Cheap Virtual Office
While the whole idea of using a virtual office is so that you can cut costs and pump in more money to your business, it should not be a philosophy that is allowed to get out of hand. You are dealing with a company, money and real people who make up your clients base and there is a huge difference in being cost effective and being cheap. Being cheap means you are allowing the issue of quality and quality control to run away from you, being cheap means you are compromising the image of your company just to save a few thousand dollars a year. In business image in everything and trust is not build on the foundations of the inexpensive and shoddy. When looking for a virtual office you must avoid the dangers of using a cheap virtual office, because it is something that can hurt your business.

If you look rich, you feel confident and that confidence comes through, especially when you talk to your clients; trying to convince them to buy the product or service that you are touting. This theory has the same applications in business ? skimp and you will get returns with figures that closely match your rent. Trust is built not from the overly expensive but quality helps.
I wont mince my words about it, the biggest MNC?s and corporations all bank on image when it comes to business. A large boardroom with amenities impress ? and this is something you need to do when you are dealing with money and a purchasing decision. Cheap virtual offices usually offer services that are fly by night ? untrained receptionists, a systemless way of managing incoming faxes and important mailed in documents. You also get addresses which are questionable ? this happens when companies try to save as much as possible when tailoring a shoe string budget for their clients.
You cannot compromise on certain things. A badly trained receptionist is not only one that can kill your sensibilities, it can also kill your business. Imagine if you are out on a meeting and simply cant take an important call. The call is automatically routed to the central virtual office number and is picked up by a rude, uninformed and impatient receptionist. Guess what, you just lost a big account and here?s the other thing ? in the B2B world of clients and transaction ?word of mouth and ba reputations stink to high heaven.

Imagine if you are out on a meeting and simply cant take an important call. The call is automatically routed to the central virtual office number and is picked up by a rude, uninformed and impatient receptionist. Guess what, you just lost a big account and here?s the other thing ? in the B2B world of clients and transaction ?word of mouth and ba reputations stink to high heaven. Do everything in your power to avoid these types of situations and have full control of your virtual office operations.
Make sure it has every facility you need and that quality checks are maintained. The dangers of using a cheap virtual office are ones that are real and very tangible and they are hurting thousands of business every year. So don?t be a victim and spend just a little more ? you wont regret it.

Damaged National Economy Consequentially Resultsin Crowded Emergency Room Service Centers In Texas
Damaged National Economy Consequentially Resultsin Crowded Emergency Room Service Centers In Texas
As the nation becomes more aged, the mounting need for Emergency and Urgent Care is also developing. The doctor shortage in the nation that we are presently experiencing is projected to get worse. Other queries are affecting this shortage as well, including the shrinking economy and the just passed health care reform. In Texas there are a total of 63510 physicians, as of March 2010. This includes both DOs and MDs. Of those 63510 physicians, 2702 are Emergency Medicine physicians, 2360 being MD trained and 342 being DO trained.
Urgent Care doctors will have plenty of work presented from Medicare, but they may not yearn for it, According to a press release by the MPAC. Medicare lower reimbursement rates than privately held insurance policies, Medicare patients are much less likely to be accepted by Primary Care physicians. Up to a thirty three percent of all Medicare patients may not be able to find a Primary Care medical doctor at all as a consequence.
These statistics show that other areas are hit much harder than the average, take Arizona for example. According to a study by St. Lukes The desert state has some areas where the Primary Care physician-to-patient ratio is less than 6 doctors per 10,000 residents. More inhabitants not having access to primary care will result in greater than before use of Emergency Room and Urgent Care clinics. Naturally, Emergency and Urgent Care physicians are going to have their hands full if this trend goes unmoved.
Undermined Economy results in Crowded Texas Service Centers
Many people are losing availability to reasonably priced health benefits as the undermining economy is running rampant. Citizens receiving COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act) coverage are also running out of options at the same time as insurance policies are lapsing at an astounding rate. Many people have decided they must do without appropriate preventative medical doctor visits with the walls closing in on affordable healthcare. As you might expect, when the severity of the condition can no longer be quelled with rest and over the counter remedies, and starts to dramatically interfere with daily life, the emergency room may be the last place to turn. Accordingly the housing bust, the stock market crash and quickly rising unemployment rates, emergency rooms and Urgent Care clinics are filling up faster than ever.
Texas Baby Boomers in the Emergency Room
In the United States another socioeconomic group attributing to this cannot be ignored, and is another factor in the insurgence of Emergency Medicine and Urgent Care cases in this country. This group, also known as the Baby Boomers, statistically requires considerably more assets, personnel, specialists, and medical doctor care. They need inpatient / outpatient and Emergency room services more and more frequently than any other demographic. The baby boomers will result in an exponential increase of the 65 and older demographic.
Can Obamacare Reformation Solve ER tribulations in Texas?
It is neither here nor there if the health reform will crush us or not. Given the rising number of geriatric patients, uninsured patients, and underinsured patients, Emergency room overfilling is a serious and growing problem. If the health care reform doesn't fix the problems it promises, the problems cannot be anticipated to get better. Health care reform should tackle is the loss of emergency room facilities. The United States lost over 400 Emergency Room facilities between 1993 and 2003. What can underinsured/uninsured patients do? Besides hoping that an ambulance can get them or their loved ones to an Emergency room in time, they can do very little. In that same time frame, 1993-2003, Emergency room visits dramatically increased by over 25%. In these predicaments, physicians will absolutely have their work cut out for them.

5 Mistakes Biz Owners Make With Their Marketing
5 Mistakes Biz Owners Make With Their Marketing
Wondering why your marketing isn't working all that well? Never fear, help is here. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it) many marketing challenges can be traced back to a handful of marketing mistakes. Today, I'll talk about the top 5 marketing mistakes business owners make.
1. Too broad a target market (who you're selling your product or service to). If I ask you who your customer is and you answer "anyone with a pulse," then I'm talking to you. Even if your product or service CAN help just about anyone on the planet, not everyone is going to buy it. They don't have the money or the interest or whatever. And when you try and target everyone, you really end up targeting no one. The way to start making money (not to mention getting better results with your marketing) is to narrow your target market so you're only talking to one specific group. However, there are pitfalls with that as well, as we see in the next mistake.
2. The wrong target market. This happens when you've chosen the wrong target market. What do I mean by wrong target market? They either aren't interested in buying your product or service or they don't have the money. Let's look at the first one, lack of interest. What happens here is the word "need" is misused. "I know my target market needs this, therefore they'll buy it." Not so.
This happens a lot with people in the health and wellness field and it typically goes something like this. You are passionate about teaching yoga and you want to reach committed couch potatoes. Do committed couch potatoes need to be doing yoga? No question. Do they want to be doing yoga? Probably not or they wouldn't be committed couch potatoes.
So let's look at the second one, lack of funds. This happens when you're going after a customer base that desperately wants what you're selling but can't afford it. For instance, a high-end spa targeting low-income single mothers. Would this target market adore the stress relieving benefits of a day at a spa? No doubt. Can they afford it? Probably not.
Now, that example is obvious, but it's not always so cut and dried. Especially with service professionals. Business and life coaches for instance. They're so passionate about what they do and they want to see people succeed, they go after a target market that may really want and need their services, but they can't afford them. So these coaches lower their fees or coach for free or trade out (even if they aren't interested in the trade) or something else that isn't terribly helpful to their own business success. Bottom line -- make sure you choose a target market that not only can afford your product or service but also want it. (Desperate for it is better yet.)
3. Looking for your target market in all the wrong places. This is a situation where "build it and they will come" doesn't work. Once you know who your target market is, you need to go to them. And you shouldn't waste your time in places where you won't find them.
Let's say your target market is Fortune 500 companies. Is hobnobbing at your local Chamber of Commerce going to pay off for you? Probably not. But buying a targeted list and putting together a direct mail campaign? Much better idea. Or, for instance, a friend of mine just realized a new niche target market she was going after doesn't spend much time online. And, you guessed it, she does most of her marketing online. So, she either has to change her niche market or change how she markets to them.
Once you've selected a viable target market, make sure you're putting your marketing time and dollars into places where they hang out.
4. Not a compelling message. Okay, you know you've got a good target market and you know how to reach them. But you're still not getting any results. Now the problem might be your message. People have a lot of choices on where to spend their money. You have to give them a very compelling reason why they should spend their hard earned money with you.
Here's where it makes sense to brush up on your copywriting skills (writing promotional copy) or hire someone to write your copy for you.
5. Not getting in front of your target market often enough. So you've run one ad. Or mailed one postcard. Or attended one networking event. And the work isn't pouring in the door.
It's a sad fact that you need to consistently get in front of your target market time and time again. Unfortunately, for the most part, your target market won't wake up and say "Gee, I have to give so-and-so some money today" without some encouragement on your part. Remember, it's not your target market's job to remember you. It's your job to remind them you're here and would love to have their business.

Dance With The One That Brought You
Dance With The One That Brought You
There s an old saying that goes dance with the one that brought you. That means that you do not abandon the principles and ideals that got you to where you are in life and business. That is especially true in business. Often the death knell for a business is a fundamental change in the way that business performs for customers.
While this sage advice is true, you also need to add to it the necessity to establish and maintain solid ways of keeping in contact with your customers and prospects. An 800 number and PBX system can be a major part of sending the message to those who contact you that you intend to keep doing what you do best in order to deliver the best product or service that has become the hallmark of your business.
Toll free Contact. Provide a way for customers and prospects to contact you at no charge. This sends a powerful message to them that they are important to you. This 800 number should be plastered on all of your advertising efforts. In fact, satisfied 800 number owners testify to the increase in business brought about by the system.
Grows with You. There is nothing like the frustration of having to move from location to location as your business grows. It interrupts your business and puts you behind schedule. This is one area that a PBX system can shine. It keeps on working while you are stuffing your business belongings in a box and moving to a larger space. And, the best part about it is that your customers will not know the difference (unless you tell them). If you find that you need to add extensions and routing capabilities, it is all very simple to perform. And it is cost effective, too.
Makes You Personally Responsible. How frustrating it is to call a company that you do business with and be placed into a voicemail box where you leave a message and hope that someone contacts you soon. This option should be the last resort in a business PBX system, but often it is the first and only method. The properly programmed system routes calls to find live persons first, then only as a last resort, routes to a voicemail box. This sends a message to your callers that they are important to you.
Delivers Great Customer Service. Customers and prospects have all come to expect the auto attendant that is a major part of doing business. It is how you use this system, however, that can offer support options that help your customers and prospects to help themselves to free and valuable information. Also, routing their calls to departments or people lets them make the choices and gives you peace of mind that things are handled properly. You will come to appreciate the organization that this affords your business.
Keeps Them Coming Back. Once customers and prospects see how easy it is to do business with you because of your 800 number and PBX system, they will come back for more. And more often as well.
What a great vibe to send out to them. What a great dance you will be doing with the one that brought you.

Cutting Costs While Increasing Productivity
Cutting Costs While Increasing Productivity
The current economic crisis is causing managers to revisit how they do business. In most cases, minimizing costs is high on the agenda.
When costs are cut, there is usually a negative effect on productivity. If resources are cut, people may not have all the resources they need to work productively. If people are cut and there are insufficient people left to do the work, reductions in output usually follow.
Solutions where people are expected to do more are common, but invariably there is a point where doing more and more work can no longer be sustained. A better solution is to find ways to change the way work is done. For example, more effective business processes can streamline work flow, and improve productivity.
TASKey has spent over 12 years developing and validating a solution that makes it easier for people to work together more productively. The solution automates many of the manual processes that people need to employ to manage work.
A distributed management method with web and mobile software makes it easy for each user to see how they fit into tasks, see what is happening, manage their own time, and keep everyone informed about changes and progress. Using the web and mobile software, managers and people doing the work can reduce the time they spend coordinating work in the order of 30-50%.
Time and cost savings come from significantly reduced interruptions to workflows (and therefore less rework), less meetings, less travel to sort out problems, less work being forgotten (falling through the cracks), and improved personal . Also people managing schedules, chasing information, and reporting progress can be redeployed to more productive work, and there is less absenteeism.
TASKey?s solution results in managers doing less time consuming coordination work. But significantly more coordination is achieved, because coordination work that managers often miss or cannot do is done by the software. The web and mobile software works 7x24, tracks and coordinates thousands of people doing thousands of tasks and actions, and the team relationships between stakeholders, sorts out information on a need-to-know basis (privacy and security), keeps all stakeholders informed of changes and progress, and creates an audit trail of critical events.
Allocation of work is also better, because managers can instantly see the actions key people have done, are doing or plan to do. An added benefit is that past processes can be templated (copied, improved and pasted) to significantly reduce planning time and make continuous improvement easy.
TASKey?s web and mobile software offers a new solution that automates a lot of management processes that are normally done manually. But most importantly, it does the work that is not done, but should be done: work that is too complex, is forgotten, occurs when a manager is absent or when a manager is busy on some other task.
The bottom line is that TASKey web and mobile software lets people work together more productively, and most importantly, sustain and improve that productivity. Less people will be required to manage work, so costs can be cut while productivity is increased.
So when the economic crisis is over and growth returns, people can be added where they can be most productive. TASKey?s web and mobile software has automated many labour intensive business processes, so many of the usual overheads associated with growth will not be required.

Allocation of work is also better, because managers can instantly see the actions key people have done, are doing or plan to do. An added benefit is that past processes can be templated (copied, improved and pasted) to significantly reduce planning time and make continuous improvement easy.
TASKey?s web and mobile software offers a new solution that automates a lot of management processes that are normally done manually. But most importantly, it does the work that is not done, but should be done: work that is too complex, is forgotten, occurs when a manager is absent or when a manager is busy on some other task.
The bottom line is that TASKey web and mobile software lets people work together more productively, and most importantly, sustain and improve that productivity. Less people will be required to manage work, so costs can be cut while productivity is increased.
So when the economic crisis is over and growth returns, people can be added where they can be most productive. TASKey?s web and mobile software has automated many labour intensive business processes, so many of the usual overheads associated with growth will not be required.

Cv Writing Tips
Cv Writing Tips
The good news is that your CV may be used in various ways for different purposes, but your CV is not written to get a job. It is a self-marketing tool to get you a meeting or job interview.
When responding to an advertised job vacancy, a well written CV and a good covering letter will be instrumental in obtaining those vital interviews.
Most recruiters use CVs as a method of screening people out rather than in, so pay attention to avoiding the pitfalls and any negative statements, always be positive, communicating your aspirations, skills, demonstrated abilities and achievements. (You can download a free CV template to suit your profession and job search needs online at my website).
If an appointment is being headhunted, a Researcher or a Search Consultant handling the assignment will speak to the job candidate before you provide a CV to the employer before or during an interview. You job candidate will have learned a good deal about the job before the delivery of the CV. Usually Head-hunters will not pass your CV on to the employer. Instead, they should make a CV or profile for you, the job candidate. You may send your CV to Head-hunters on a speculative basis. It may then used to decide whether or not to put you on their database.
When you are networking, you may take your CV along to meetings with a view either to asking for advice on it or in order to give copies to your network contacts, which they may in turn pass on to other people who could have a job for you.
When you are making speculative applications, you are initially likely to send a letter, rather than a CV, perhaps taking your CV along to any meetings you obtain. It will then be used in much the same way that slides or handouts are at a presentation - as something to refer to in order to give structure to the session and as a reminder, afterwards, of the key points.

Customers Are Not As Gullible As They Once Were
Customers Are Not As Gullible As They Once Were
Consumer confidence in media has declined dramatically. Only 12% of consumers trust Television news, down from 55% 3 years ago. People who believe organizations are also down from 28% to 12%.
The simple and ugly fact is they don't believe you as much as they used to. What makes these people so sceptical?
I believe there are two primary reasons:
1. North Americans are exposed to 4 times the amount of advertising Europeans are exposed to. One study shows the average North American decision maker receives upwards of 30,000 commercial messages per day. This mostly means messages get lost in the clutter.
2. Many college graduates have done at least one marketing course and so have a much better feel for hype and what?s going on. Too much marketing is simply hype and knowledgeable people see right through it.
So what can the average business owner do to combat this?
1. Generate word-of-mouth marketing. Referrals are still the most powerful method of marketing because people trust their friends as credible sources of data. Referrals are free and close at 5 times the rate of leads from all other sources. 85% of all buying decisions are made on the recommendations of others.
2. Influence people who are centers of influence. Why do you think firms like Nike and L?Oreal use celebrities like Michael Jordan and Penelope Cruz to endorse their products. Who would be the most likely people to influence your customers?
3. Focus on what's most important to your target audience. Understand their pain and offer solutions to their pain. This kind of educational marketing will always outshine image advertising and marketing. If you don?t understand their pain, you?ve got work to do.
4. Go for share of mind over share of market. It?s better to have a small well defined niche of customers so involved with your product or service that they promote your products freely and willingly. Some Harley-Davidson customers tattoo the brand's logo on their bodies and become permanent walking billboards.
5. Expand your advertising with direct marketing and public relations. If people don?t believe advertising, they are much more likely to believe what the media tells them or personalised communications that speak to them as individuals. PR and direct response give you the opportunity to put forth personalized and believable messages.
StreetSmart Marketers willingly face the reality that consumers are wise to the ways of marketing. It?s time to use marketing that looks less like hype and more like news, education and personal communication. As David Ogilvy said; ?The consumer is not an idiot, she?s your wife.?

Cut Out The Middle
Cut Out The Middle
My true love is music, but the fact is I have to make real money too. There's nothing better than getting together with old friends (older and older, as it turns out) and jamming in front of a crowd. There's an energy you just don't get anywhere else, and it is definitely keeping us young.
Still, music doesn't pay the electric bill, and I'm pretty sure my wife would leave me if I went on the road full time. She's very supportive, but a guy can only go so far before he hits the end of the leash, you dig? So she puts up with my creaky old rocker ways, but she really loves that I've been able to build a business from home that keeps us warm, fed and comfortable. I've even managed to put away a little bit for our retirement!
What I sell online isn't all that important. I have a website offering a variety of products, and I have affiliate partners that share links with me in mutually beneficial relationships. The most important change I ever made for my business, and the one that allowed me to work from home full-time, was marketing.
I had always cringed when I heard the word "marketing" in the past. Isn't that the purview of big, evil PR firms designed to brainwash your kids into screaming "I'm koo-koo for Cocoa Puffs" at full volume in the grocery store? But reading a little more about it and talking to other people in my line of work, I found out that you can be your own marketing department. There is absolutely no need to hire outside your business to start a marketing campaign.
The way I built my business was by writing articles. Once I discovered how easy it is with an online service to be distributed to hundreds -- even thousands -- of content sites, email lists and newsletters around the world, I suddenly became a prolific producer! I wrote constantly for weeks about vitamins I was selling, a new bicycle I bought and all the features it had, even about my band's latest gig! Admittedly, I got a little overzealous. It doesn't take that much effort to run a successful article marketing campaign.
Here are some important points to keep in mind when writing your articles:
-- Be informative. Tell people something they didn't know before.
-- Content is king. The Internet is based on fresh, new content that changes every day. Put yourself into the mix, or your competitor will beat you to it.
-- Leave out keyword-stuffing and Black Hat SEO. Search engines are too smart for that nowadays and your article will be passed over every time.
-- Have fun! Write about what you know and love and it will quickly cease being a chore and become one of your favorite parts of your week!
The secret is, in every article you write, there's a little About the Author box that goes at the end. In this box, you can tell a little bit about yourself, like the name and location of your business. It could even say "I'm So-and-So, mother of three in Kalamazoo, Mi." It doesn't matter. What does matter is that this is where your link goes.
Once your link is published in all those About the Author boxes on all those different websites, search engines will start to see you. That means your PageRank will improve and you will begin to move up in search engine results. I've seen my results go nowhere but up since I started my campaign. When are you going to create your marketing department?
