Digg it UP - Add Smile Power to Your Life to Empower Your Relationships
There are so many reasons why you might want to use a secured loan. Secured loans are loans from lending institutions that use some of your assets or equity as collateral. That means that you can offer the bank your house or your car or your stock certificates in exchange for money. Obviously, the bank doesn't use your house or your car your stock certificates -- they're still yours -- but you basically tell the bank that if you do not pay your loan back, they can have that instead. Lending institutions like secured loans because, unlike unsecured loans, they know that there are assets they can claim to back them up if you default on the loan. And they know that you are more likely to pay back your loan than to give up your house! In many cases a secured loan will get you a lower rate of interest and perhaps a longer-term to pay it back than an unsecured loan.So what might you use a secured loan for? Th

Are you concerned about your sales abilities? Most of my clients have these concerns. In my very long-term sales experience, I have found that most of the problems can be solved with practice and confidence.Sales is not complicated, but it also is not easy for everyone. The good news is that once you find what works, you do that over and over. Sales also does not have to be high-pressure; you can keep your integrity and incorporate your personality into your sales process.For many business people, the first step is to get the appointment for the sales meeting. When you’re networking, do you sell your product or service right away? You’re making it too difficult for yourself! All you really need to do is entice your ideal customer to meet with you. Your ideal customer does NOT need to know HOW you’re going to save them $1,000, just that you will.Once they’re interested, then you sell the ap
Later, on my long drive home, I stopped at a fast-food restaurant for a quick bite. A 70ish woman waited by the condiment bar while her husband ordered. She glanced my way and smiled brightly. It was one of those smiles that broadcast, "I love life!"
I wasn't going to let THIS opportunity pass. I was going to say SOMETHING. As I approached this woman from 30 feet away, her smile melted into a rather startled look; as if asking, "Did I do something wrong?" I walked over to her and simply said, "You have a wonderful smile!" Wow, did her face light up! And she responded with an enthusiastic, "Thank You". My comment probably made her day, but it also made MY day. We truly exchanged gifts that afternoon.
SMILES: INSTANT FACELIFTS
Life's lessons have taught me this: a smile is the number one feature that makes people attractive. It's a welcome mat. It's what makes folks approachable. People with a great smiles radiate a warmth that draws others to them instantly.
Some people naturally have a great smile. Others, analytical types like me, must work at it. One way to tell if you're in my category is to recall picking up your developed photos. As you flipped through the pictures, you didn't like the way you looked in most of them. But then...you discovered that one great picture of yourself. In it, you look friendly, you're smiling broadly and your eyes twinkle. Now THAT picture looks like you!
I hate to say it, but ALL the pictures look like you, even those you dislike. Unfortunately, those "bad" photos, where your face doesn't look its best, portray how you often appear. In fact, you might normally look even worse, since you were TRYING to look good for the camera. Usually you're not even making that effort, and may appear even less inviting than you do in "bad" photos. And if you're like me, you assume you're not particularly photogenic and that your smile needs work. When you've mastered your smile, you'll consistently look better in photos. Most important, though, you'll be more attractive and approachable every day.

As a manager, your employees will come to you with situations they don’t know how to handle. When they approach you during these times, they are looking to you to give them the solution to the problem. This is understandable with big problems that have significant monetary and time consequences, or that may have a detrimental impact on your company’s standing in the eyes of your professional community.However, often the problems your employees bring you are neither this momentous nor are they so potentially damaging. Most of the time your staff members could come up with creative solutions on their own if encouraged to do so. The recurring problem I see is employees who do not take initiative in proactive problem solving. Why? Either they haven’t been told that this is preferable to bringing their problems to the supervisor, or they have attempted to be proactive in solving a problem in the past and hav

Think about this for a moment, everything you have done or ever achieved has come by making use of a network of people, contacts, colleagues and so on. A computer on its own is termed a 'dumb' terminal as it is unable to function like a computer that is part of a network. If you connect two computers together, you can share, gather, communicate, collaborate, develop and manage resources, increase business, are you getting the picture, your success in business or career is directly proportional to the size and quality of your network.Need more proof? Well, ask yourself, why is the likes of Google and Rupert Murdock of Sky and others buying up online network communities otherwise known as social networking websites, paying $Billions of dollars for businesses that have only been around a few years, and predominantly online. It is primarily similar to the analogy of the computers in a network. Networking si

In classic sales training which has been entrenched for over 60 years, we learn that there are five simple steps to selling. If you followed the steps, you get the sale.Open the Call Investigate needs Give benefits Handle Objectives Close the Sale But as small business owners have been vocal about, they need to grow their business, yet they aren’t getting the sales using this approach. So what’s happening? If you are selling a big ticket item, like a year-long support contract, an infrastructure installation, or a long-term training program for a corporate management team, your selling cycle doesn’t fit the traditional model any more.What am I supposed to do instead?The selling cycle for larger/longer products/programs/services has four characteristics that make traditional selling techniques ineffective.1.

When you're having a good time, does your face show it? You might be surprised. Years ago I dropped into a comedy club in Montgomery, Alabama. I was sitting in the front row, where one is typically fair game to be picked on by the comedian. But being the non-expressive, serious Norwegian that I am, I wasn't giving the comic the jovial feedback he needed. I was enjoying the show, but in a straight-faced manner. About halfway through the show, the comic interrupted his routine to ask me point-blank, "Are you having a good time?" I responded, "I'm having a great time." His comeback: "Well then, tell your face!" I was enjoying the program, laughing inside, even studying the performer's humor and technique. BUT...not giving him any outward indication.
In everyday life the same concept applies. You might be enjoying your job, but fail to show it. You may want to meet someone, yet not give them a single, friendly clue. You can even be IN LOVE with somebody, and totally hide it. Your face should express what you feel when you wish to connect with others.
SMILE AEROBICS FOR EMOTIONAL HEALTH
One way to become better at smiling is increasing your awareness. Take notice of those you find warm and inviting. Is it their smile? Make an effort to LOOK for great smiles. Notice the appeal of people who smile with their EYES, not just their mouth. The whole face gets involved. Consider these people your models. Study yourself in the mirror. How do you look in the rest room, when shopping, and while passing a reflective window? Do you look friendly? Approachable? Do you really LIKE the image you're projecting?
In fact, a mirror is ideal for your smile workout. Practice various smiles toward capturing that perfect look for the camera. Work on expressing your smile with your eyes. A tip: cut a paper rectangle that permits you to see only your eyes in the mirror. Practice smiling just with your eyes. Get used to the feel of your cheekbones as they lift to brighten your eyes. When you see how a great smile LOOKS, remember how it FEELS. When you can finally project your best smile, hold it. Turn away from the mirror. How does your face feel? What muscles are you using? Make an effort to develop muscle memory, so you can instantly recreate this smile at will.
THE SMILING REMINDER
Sometimes it's life's little reminders that help us focus on making self-improvements. I set out to find a "smile" lapel pin as a permanent token of my smile's importance. After a fruitless one-year search, I commissioned the design and production of smile pins. Now when I encounter a total stranger with a million-dol
