How To Protect Your Crown Jewels With A Confidentiality Agreement
How should you use a confidentiality agreement to protect your trade secrets and how effective are they anyway?Many commercial clients still regard a Confidentiality Agreement or Non-disclosure agreement (NDA) as routine documents that do not require detailed consideration or legal advice. Are you one of them?They are all the same aren’t they?I must have seen and reviewed several hundred Non-disclosure Agreements in my 11 years in commercial practice. NDAs vary from a half page statement through to a comprehensive 8-10 page document. Usually a two to three pager, or possibly a concisely drafted and formatted one page document, will meet most needs. 80-90% of the clauses will be the same in all agreemen

Freelance Writers: How to Turn a Client Meeting Into a Windfall of Work
Nowadays, many freelancers rarely meet their clients face-to-face. However if you do find yourself “taking a meeting” with a client, following are three guidelines that will ensure a constant flow of work.1. Fight the urge to speak: My mother used to say, “The creator gave you two ears and one mouth.

Introductory Guide to Term Life Insurance
Listen to the radio and you will hear endless advertisements for term life insurance. So, what exactly is it? Glad you asked.Term life insurance is the original kind of insurance. It provides a basic payout in the case of the death of the policy holder during the time span of the term. There is normally no extra premium that is invested and the policy does not accumulate a cash value during the term. It is the simple wager concept of the old life insurance adage. The Insurance Company makes a bet that you will not die during the term. You are, in a way, making a bet that you will die. If you do die, you win. If you do not die, the Insurance Company keeps the premiums that you paid.Despite the irony of viewing

Selling - Using Toll Free Numbers
One of the best tools that I have used is a phone number capturing system that enables people to request information 24/7, and today you are able to get them at fire sale prices.When this system is used, not only do you increase the number of calls that are generated from your listings and reports, you are providing a valuable service to your customer.It only stands to reason, that the person that is accessing information in our world of convenience will want immediate gratification.

Lexar Bid is Inadequate
On Friday, flash media maker Lexar Media (LEXR) received a higher revised takeover bid from Micron Technology (MU). The revised bid places the all-stock exchange offer at around $10 a share, up marginally from the initial bid.But major shareholders including billionaire investor Carl Icahn along with hedge funds and portfolio managers have deemed the initial bid to be inappropriate. Elliott Associates believes the initial bid "significantly undervalues Lexar," and feels Lexar is worth between $1.5 billion and $2.4 billion. The estimate is well above the revised takeover bid of about $827 million.I must concur and say the revised takeover bid is way too low and needs to be rejected by shareholders. Micron want

What if you've done a variety of marketing activities over the past year, but you did not establish any way to track the response? Now you don’t know what worked and what didn’t. Is there anything you can do now before you continue with your marketing efforts and potentially continue spending money on not-so-effective marketing activities?

The Internet has made it possible to find almost anything you want. By sitting in the comfort of your home or office, you are able to order groceries, buying airline tickets, or shop for a new wardrobe.
