    Computer Ergonomics and the Office of the Future - Part 4
    In Part 4 we discuss the idea of designs that are similar for home and office.Architectural Designs Intersecting with Home LifeI believe that there will be a "blending" of the home and work office. There is an increased need for "home" offices to be set up in a similar fashion to the office for telecommuters and those who work at home. There are many who regularly correspond with people on other continents and they are going to require a setup to enhance this.I see home offices that mimic the office to make it more comfortable and convenient to work from home. People will be more open to spending their own money on higher quality items such as ergo chairs (not the kind at the office superstore!), keyboards, mice, etc. for themselves so they can work
    The first thing we all have in common is we like to save money. The second thing we all have in common is we like to make money. Think about it.

    With this in mind I developed an upsell product / service that I knew would have the absolute best potential each and every time I offered it to a client. The product / service I use is a wholesale savings membership. It's a way for anyone to purchase a membership for the less than a dollar a week. The membership saves everyone using it up to 90% on the same well known, name brand items they already are used to buying. They can get the same items in the same packaging direct from the manufacturers and cut out the middle man, namely the retail stores! The original warranties are also still fully in effect and all items are new.

    So you see, it doesn't matter if the origi

    How to Take Your Law Firm to the Next Level
    How to Take Your Law Firm to the Next Level Third in a series of three articlesSO you’ve done such a good job at bringing in new clients to your firm that you’re swamped with business, your firm is large and growing, and all parts of your marketing system are in place and running smoothly? Congratulations!If you can confidently answer "yes!" to the following metrics, then you’re ready to take your practice to the next level:• Is your firm’s mission perfectly aligned with your market?• Do your marketing efforts create exactly the relationship your customers most want and need?• Are your services well packaged, presented with a What’s In It For Me? punch, and priced at various levels?• Do you know exactly where and how to pro
    Once you have product to sell and it is selling very well, why stop there? Despite the enormous profit potential of upselling, millions have no idea just how much money they are turning away with every initial sale. Upselling is so easy and requires little to no extra work on your part than what is done at the time you sold your customer a service, product, or item in the first place. People either don't know about upselling, or they do and are under the false impression it requires lots of additional work from them.

    When you see an infomercial on TV that sells a product, did you ever notice they almost always mention the fact that you can get an additional discount if you buy more than one item? Often the announcer will say... "makes a great gift" or "buy for the home and another for..." etc. This is the classic upsell.

    There is another version of the upsell which is also known as "back end" sales. All you do is offer your customers additional items or services at the same time you are filling their original order. It's so simple to include a cover letter thanking the customer for their order. The cover letter is an excellent opportunity to tie the upsell to the "thank you" and actually increase sales! Here's an example of just how it works and how you can do the same thing!

    Thanks for your order, we really appreciate it. Right now we are making a very special offer to those who have already placed an order with us. You can pick up a widget today at a much lower price than anyone else by using the enclosed coupon. This is our way of again saying thanks for your order!

    See, that was not hard at all. By the way, this is a never ending process, if that customer orders a second, third, or even twenty times, you will always include specials and offers to give them an opportunity to place an order! Normally the upsell works best when the offer you make is something very similar to the original item, or service the customer first got interested in and purchased. This can be an advanced service or even the same item if you have made changes to improve upon the performance.

    There is still another way to make an incredible fortune with the upsell, and it's my personal favorite. Pick a service or product that everyone would want or need. You will have to spend some time to develop this one, but once you locate the right product or service, you are home free and assured success!

    I will use the product / service I use every day to earn an incredible income as a great example for you to follow. I picked it because I already know that no matter what the original reason my customer contacted me, I will not only get an order for that product or service, I also have a better than 90% chance to also sell them through the upsell as well. By the way my upsell item brings me an additional $50.00 per order and takes about 5 minutes extra per call to get. It's very simple and soon you will see why.

    There are two things everyone on the planet has in common. It does not matter where we are born, what color our skin is, how well off we are etc. None of that is important and none of it can change this fact either. Even if you don't want to have these two things in common with your worse enemy that's tough, you can't do anything about it, you are stuck with it! The first thing we all have in common is we like to save money. The second thing we all have in common is we like to make money. Think about it.

    Get Free Advertising
    As a business owner, you’re probably inundated with advertising offers and salespeople who want your money to advertise on billboards , radio and television, in newspapers and magazines. These salespeople promise massive exposure and hint at lucrative results and return on your investment. But you’re concerned about the risk. A lot of advertising simply won’t work for you. The good news is that there is an alternative.The advertisers have space available and it costs them very little. That’s why they’re trying to sell it. Here’s what I did. (I always talk with the Decision Maker, not the salesperson, who only wants a commission). I was approached by a well-known national business magazine to advertise my marketing seminars.Robin: “Tell me honestly: for me

    Business Strategies Straight from the Horse's Mouth
    When I became a coach six years ago, I had a dream that took me a while to admit to—even to myself. What I really wanted to do was to combine the two great passions of my life—coaching and working with horses—but I had no idea what that might look like. As I bravely shared my fledgling dream with others, people began to point me to other people who had the same dream. I started exploring and discovered that the field of Equine Guided Education is a lively and growing one, where there’s plenty of space for the coaching process to be incorporated.You might be surprised to learn that coaching with horses provides a depth and immediacy that brings new information, even about business development.

    Outsourced Chiropractic Billing Service Performance Index - July 2006
    July Billing Precision Index (BPI) outperformed BPI for June by 20%, replacing five participants in the list of top ten performers and bringing BPI from 18 down to 15. This article reports a second iteration of a prototype for a rule-based chiropractic index, including its coverage definition, update cycle, volume weighting, and provided information.BPI = 15 means that the average of ten top performing payers working with BillingPrecision.com clients have 15% of Accounts Receivable beyond 120 days. BPI is a key billing performance characteristic, as it is a proxy of the claims that are never paid. Obviously, the lower is the index the better is billing performance. The table below also lists the top ten performing payers and their relative index as recorde

    Are You A Placeable Job Candidate?
    In other words, are you someone who will easily find new work if and when the need arises?Recruiters often talk about whether or not a job searcher is placeable. This distinction determines whether or not a recruiter will work with you to help you find a new job.A placeable job candidate is a person who a recruiter can place with one of their clients and as a result, get paid. This job candidate has great skills, has a great background and generally has the traits that a recruiter can get paid to place within a company.Recruiters look for the “most placeable candidate” when they are trying to fill a position. They look for the most desirable candidate who will get a job offer and take the job.A non-placeable candidate is one that recruiters w

    So you see, it doesn't matter if the original order was for web design, CD duplication, logo creation, marketing packages, check acceptance software etc. (by the way I just showed you another way to upsell) after the order has been taken I will always say something like...

    "Mary I really have enjoyed talking with you today and your order is really appreciated. Can I ask you one more question, how would you like to save you and your family up to 90% below the regular prices you are already paying now? If I could show you how you could start paying up to 90% in as few as two days from now, would you be interested?"

    What kind of response do you think I get to that question? If you said an incredible one you are right! In fact nine out of every ten people who had called to place an order for one item, likes the wholesale savings membership program so much, they buy one or more of the memberships on the spot! I am giving people what they want to buy and that is one secret very few people will ever allow themselves the benefit of understanding.

    By the way, I have four packages I sell on CD. One of the biggest reasons I moved from disk to CD was so I would have plenty of room to include along with the original order, all my upsells. Imagine getting a CD from me and also seeing great deals on over 75 other items, services, products etc. I will leave it up to you to do the math and figure the income this brings on a very steady and consistent basis. One of the most common things I hear all day long from tons of people is... "Hi Britt, I bought _____ from you on CD . I noticed you also had something on the CD about ______ and would like to order these items." All I do is ask how they want to pay, they have already been sold during the upsell process directly from the CD.

    Now multiply this times thousands of people and you begin to see you need to get busy with upsell offers of your own! Take a serious look at the things you sell and ask yourself what you can do greatly increase the amount of each sale by upselling. Please share this with a friend to help them also.
