Presentation Skills - The First to Know
To fully understand the rules that govern just how much information you can include in your presentation slides, you need to appreciate a fundamental of human nature – namely, that we have an innate desire to be The First to Know.Unfortunately, most of the presentation visuals that we see are designed with the mistaken belief that audiences will actually wait for the presenter to walk them through them. Wrong.When the technology of communications was slower, we took a more historical approach to news - news was about what happened. We were accustomed to waiting for the news, and news had a time: Did you see the morning paper? Did you hear the evening news?But with electronic advancements, we came to think of news more in terms of what is happening at the moment. Film brought us motion, but video feeds brought us there. Screens eclipsed paper as the preferred venue for getting the latest. Newspapers folded, first afternoon editions and then even icons of Americana - think Herald Tribune. Instead of being the first source of news in the world, to survive newspapers became more feature oriented – providing value only for less perishable and less immediate content.Cable News Network took a huge gamble that people all over the world would watch news twenty-four hours a day - news on the people’s timetable, not the providers. News on demand. Fulfillment for those with the desire to be “the first to know.”What does all this have to do with presentation design? You don’t need to be a news junkie to share a basic trait of humans and other intelligent animals – curiosity. Curiosity is basic to survival, and we have evolved as creatures who need to learn what we can quickly. So this same desire that humans have to be the first to know translates to every event that involves new information uptake. During a presentation, audience members want the same control, and are basically unwilling to wait for you, the presenter, to help them be the first to know.Once the curiosity about a slide has been satisfied, audience members usually wil

A Recipe For Selling Success and Baja Fish Tacos
Mmmm, there is nothing like a great fish taco on a Sunday afternoon. Particularly, when the taco is a Baja fish taco, made fresh from a great recipe with all the right ingredients. At our house, my wife is often experimenting with Rachel Ray recipes. Rachel Ray has become a favorite of her viewing time on television. The recipe for Rachel's Baja fish tacos delivered excellent results and I highly recommend you try them on a warm summer afternoon with a cold Mexican beer soon.I shouldn't be too surprised that my fair skinned wife, a Tacoma, Washington native of German heritage could fix the best tasting Baja fish taco I've ever tasted. It wasn't the cook, although I will never tell her this, it was the successful recipe she followed. The same is true with selling. It isn't the salesperson; it is the selling process they follow.The Recipe For Sales SuccessMonths ago, I was interviewing a struggling salesperson who was enjoying sales, but didn't like the up and down roller coaster sales results. My goal was to uncover the root of the problem. Following my instincts, we began talking about her selling process only to discover that she didn't have one. We began talking about her successful selling experiences and tracing her steps to the sale. I asked her to carefully retrace each of her sale successes, so I could map them out for her. We did this for several sales to confirm my suspicions. What she didn't realize is that she was following a consultative, solution selling process each time she was successful. Naturally, she was elated to discover her recipe for selling success. We mapped out her selling process like a road map to success, so she wouldn't get lost in difficult selling situations.As a result of her discovery, she began following her sales process for every sale and her roller coaster ride in sales ended. As her confidence grew, she mastered her selling process. Nothing could get her off track from following the six steps to the sale. She also began applying the magical seventh step of getting referrals, which boosted her

It’s Thursday June 15, 2006, and finally we had an up day, the market showed some strength pretty much for the entire trading session, granted it was modest but definitely a welcome sight. The Nasdaq avoided making history by being down for a ninth day in a row and the S&P 500 broke that 7-month slide.

Yesterday morning the Labor Department reported that the May Consumer Price Index aka the CPI rose 0.4 percent, after a 0.6 percent rise in April. This is beyond the comfort level of the inflation fighting Fed. These latest numbers are pretty much an indication that the Fed will raise interest rates on June 29, 2006. So we may have to prepare ourselves for another bump up in August but lets not get too ahead of ourselves just yet.

Political Front

It looks like Iran’s master plan may be coming to light as Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stated that he wants to increase cooperation with a central Asian security group that includes China and Russia and that the region needs a solid wall against any outside interference. This was said at the S'hanghai Cooperation Organization Summit, which consisted of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. China has publicly said that they will not be a member of the group, that is the story today anyway, as we know tomorrow always brings another element into the mix.

Now sticking to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit or the SCO Summit, Russia's president Vladimir Putin made a proposal while he spoke at the SCO, he proposed the creation of an energy club within the SCO and mentioned that Russia could actually finance some economic projects pursued by the six-nation regional forum. And the plot thickens.

President Bush spoke on Wednesday, this comes on the heels of a surprise visit that he made to Baghdad. He looked confident as he stated that he senses something very different happening in Iraq. He predicted that the progress in the region will be steady and he looks for the violence to subside.

The Bank of Japan’s Governor Toshihiko Fukui issued a public apology to the Japanese parliament on Thursday as it related to an investment that he made in a fund run by an ex-bureaucrat arrested for suspected insider trading, he said he would not keep any profit. He invested approximately $87,000 back in 1999 and held it since then, so this was not a recent investment and was prior to the arrest of the high profile fund manager Yoshiaki Murakami.

Tid Bits

Boeing (NYSE: BA) should be the recipient or better yet the beneficiary of the recent slide of Airbus. The credibility of EADS, who is the majority owner of Airbus, was questioned after the company reported substantial delays of their A380 super jumbo planes. This just sliced over 30% of the company’s stock value off the top. Now keep in mind that these delays may be contract breakers and Boeing could begin to receive a slew of orders for their latest plane that was created to compete with Airbus. The street liked what they heard and that pushed Boeing up $5.03 as it closed at $82.01 on Wednesday.

Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) is not taking any prisoners on this one, they have raised their offer for largest port operator, Associated British Ports Plc, by 3.7% or US$4.76 billion (2.58 billion pounds). This is in an effort to trump a potential offer from Macquarie Bank Ltd. The acquisition of this company puts Goldman Sachs in an interesting position as they could now be granted U.S. port deals with ease. A recommendation from the new Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson doesn’t hurt their cause either.

Crude oil futures got a boost yesterday on the heels of a report from the United States that showed US crude stocks suffered a larger-than-expected fall as US refineries boosted production rates to meet peak summer fuel demand. So we may see follow through today.

As we mentioned on Wednesday, precious and base metals seems to have come close to hitting a bottom, but we need follow through before we can be sure of that. Gold, Silver, Copper and other metals rose yesterday and could possibly rise today as the demand is coming into play once again. The precious metals are potentially closer to a bottom than the base metals so be aware of that going in. Of course this trickle down to the metals stocks, companies like Rio Tinto (NYSE: RTP), BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP), Crystallex International (AMEX: KRY), Phelps Dodge (NYSE: PD) Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM), Peru Copper (AMEX: CUP) and Bema Gold (AMEX: BGO) should move higher as the metals begin to rebound. So lets look at this carefully today and going into the weekend.

Lehman Brothers (NYSE: LEH) is looking to make a slash in Asia, as they are prepared to invest US$20 to $30 million in Shenzhen Development Bank, which is one of only five banks listed in China. As we have been speaking about on “Wall Street to Main Street” the expansion in both China and India will continue because the market is so great. The inflation worries that have been dragging on the markets globally cannot curb what is on tap to happen. If companies like Citigroup (NYSE: C), JP Morgan (NYSE: JPM), Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), Bear Sterns (NYSE: BSC), Lehman Brothers (NYSE: LEH) and UBS AG (NYSE: UBS) plan on competing in the future they have to solidify themselves as global players now so they can be well established for the future. This is beyond the financial industry, this holds true for retail, food, beverage, manufacturing and the automobile industry. General Motors (NYSE: GM) amidst their bumps in the road are growing nicely overseas, and believe it or not that is where the continued growth will be for a lot of industries. So investors should look deeper into global market conditions and take a good look at the companies that stand to benefit.

Movers and Shakers

Some major movers in yesterdays trading session included Hansen Natural (NASDAQ: HANS) this seems to be a main stay on WSMS but the stock continues to swing almost on a daily basis, it traded up $7.81 to close at $157.76 on Wednesday.

As the base metals saw some light yesterday so have the companies involved in the industry, Carpenter Technology (NYSE: CRS) rose $4.19 to close at $99.37, the stock has fallen from their May 2006 high of $142.11. Keep in mind that prior to the spike in base metals the stock was hanging in the $60 range, as we said precious metals seem to have hit a relative bottom, more so than base metals.

In a move that will put certain issues to bed for both German companies, Bayer (NYSE: BAY) and Merck (NYSE: MRK) have come to terms and Bayer will pay Merck US$4.6 billion for its share of Schering, a move that clears the way for Bayer to acquire Schering. This was good news for the street as Bayer rose $3.07 to close at $41.28 on Wednesday/

After slipping from the $72 range in May 2006 and closing as low as $56.86 in June, Nutrisystem, Inc (NASDAQ: NTRI) on the heels of bump up from Lazard Capital, rose $$2.84 to close at $59.70. The stock shot up in April from the mid $40 range to its 52 week high of $76.33 on a positive quarter and the launch of a marketing campaigned geared towards males. Now this quarter will tell the story of Nutrisystem and show whether this campaign met the expectations of not only the company but of the street.

Other stocks that made nice moves on Wednesday include Casey’s General Stores (NASDAQ: CASY) traded up $4.04 to close at $24.83, PetroChina (NYSE: PTR) traded up $3.84 to close at $94.47, Oil Services HOLDR’s (NYSE: OIH) traded up $3.57 to close at $135.67, Monster Worldwide (NASDAQ: MNST) traded up $3.36 to close at $38.94, Kookmin Bank (NYSE: KB) traded up $3.45 to close at $76.65 and SouthWestern Energy (NYSE: SWN) traded up $3.25 to close at $28.05 on Wednesday.

Under Ten

Other stocks that made moves on the upside under ten bucks include Gold Reserve Inc (AMEX: GRZ), the stock moved up as the precious metals started to rise, if this should continue they are one of a few companies that stand to make nice movement. Gold Reserve traded up 84 cents to close at $4.80 on Wednesday. Other stocks to look at under ten bucks that stand to benefit for the bounce include Silver Wheaton (NYSE: SLW), Crytallex International (AMEX: KRY) and Bema Gold (AMEX: BGO).

Taser International (NASDAQ: TASR) made some movement on the upside as its Chairman Phillips W. Smith bought $762,000 worth of the company's stock. This usually gives a boost to the level of investor confidence in the stock. Even though that pushed the stock to close up 55 cents at $$8.02, you have to understand that back in December of 2004 this was a $31 stock. Now I haven’t had the opportunity to look deep into the company so I am not aware if it split or not while it was at its highs, but from my initial look, it doesn’t seem so. So proceed with caution on this one.

Chinese telephone maker Qiao Xing Universal Telephone Inc. (NASDAQ: XING) moved higher yesterday even after they raised US$40 million in a convertible bond offering. The company made some bold statements ahead of the release of their 2005 earnings on June 20, 2006,. The company stated that the their 2005 basic earnings per share, before one-time gains, will "increase significantly" to well above $1, that is compared to 17 cents per share in 2004. Now that is a bold statement but what are those one-time gains?, this one is tricky as the company touting their earnings prior to the earnings announcement scheduled to be release in a few days just raises a red flag for me, but I could be wrong. The stock traded up 55 cents to close at $8.02 on Wednesday.

Other stocks that moved higher yesterday under ten bucks included Emcore Corp (NASDAQ: EMKR) which traded up 84 cents to close at $8.69, Internet Initiative Japan (NASDAQ: IIJI) traded up 50 cents to close at $6.99, Sunopta ((NASDAQ: STKL) traded up 45 cents to close at $7.92, Anadigics (NASDAQ: ANAD) traded up 44 cents to close at $6.64 and Arm Holdings (NASDAQ: ARMHY) traded up 42 cents to close at $6.18.

Downers

Some stocks that traded down yesterday included OYO Geospace (NASDAQ: OYOG) which traded down $6.74 to close at $47.50, Teleflex (NYSE: TFX) traded down $4.66 to close at $53.38, OptionsXpress (NASDAQ: OXPS) traded down $3.81 to close at $22.23, Regional Bank Holders (NYSE: RKH) traded down $2.08 to close at $143.55, Pegasus Wireless (NASDAQ: PGWC) traded down $1.97 to close at $6.70, Apollo Group (NASDAQ: APOL) traded down $1.73 to close at $52.61 and Sunrise Senior Living (NYSE: SRZ) which trade down $1.62 to close at $28.80.

Now some stocks under ten bucks that received the royal smack down yesterday include Terremark Worldwide (AMEX: TWW) drops like a rock on a wider quarterly loss. The stock traded down $2.42 to close at $3.69,of course the downgrades didn’t help the situation but this is a big drop and could flag a ton of margin calls if it has not already. So this drop could continue today.

Now this is a recent IPO that has fallen from its IPO price, Basin Water (NASDAQ: BWTR) sells systems for the treatment of contaminated groundwater, which is their line of business. The stock opened at $15.70 when it came public in May, that’s $3.70 above its IPO price of $12. The stock traded as high as $16.55 but that was then and this is now, the stock traded down $2.35 to close at $9.65 yesterday. The stock may get a little bounce to keep it about the $10 mark this week.

Others under ten bucks that traded down yesterday include InvesTools (NASDAQ: IEDU) traded down $1.07 to close at $7.79, Hurley Industries (NASDAQ: HRLY) traded down 85 cents to close at $9.21, National Coal (NASDAQ: NCOC) traded down 79 cents to close at $6.82, SunTerra Corp (NASDAQ: SNRR) traded down 66 cents to close at $9.02 and UQM Technologies (AMEX: UQM) traded down 60 cents to close at $3.32.

Paul Graves and Brandon Koechlin thought that someone would, so they created a dating site for HIV positive folks last year. Projected 2006 sales are $110,000, and the two hope to hav
