Stop guessing what your customers want. Start selling what is relevant to them.
Many companies lament that price pressure has destroyed their margins and market share. Sales people are often convinced that price is their only tiebreaker. This book will show you research that proves otherwise. When customers are surveyed in double-blind studies, we learn that price is not the most important buying factor more than 90% of the time, but many companies cave in because they have no idea how to sell relevance. Without relevance, successful negotiation is seriously hindered.
Research shows that 98% of the time companies have little or no internal agreement on what matters most to customers. External customer alignment falls apart. This is why most companies are not engaged in Relevant Selling. Price trumps value if you don t know how your customers define value. Internal strategic decisions risk going aground when the customer perspective is ignored.
Relevant Selling shows you the importance of learning what is most relevant to your customers, your prospects and your different target markets, noting they almost always require tailored messaging to be relevant - yet, that rarely happens. You will learn how to obtain and use that valuable information. Each chapter is loaded with case studies and research that demonstrates how companies achieve remarkable results when they sell what is relevant.

The members of the band formerly known only as Dios deserved to be pissed when metal singer Ronnie James Dio's lawsuit forced them to add the parenthetical "Malos" to their name. But Dio may have done the band a favor. Dios, which translates as "Gods," was the perfect name for the band circa its 2004 eponymous debut: Despite the occasionally rag-tag production, the LP's psych-pop sound was as big as the sky, and as airy. Critics went into a frenzy, nicknaming Dios "the Mexican Beach Boys" and praying in the direction of Pet Sounds when they talked potential. But the band's new modifier "Malos"--bad--makes clear what the frenzy obscured: Dios was always a band with bite, and new record Dios (Malos) bites way harder. Recorded with Phil Ek, sherpa to previous sonic pilgrims Shins and Built To Spill, Dios (Malos) is mostly sharp where its predecessor was hazy; chock-full of minor keys, chugging guitars and bass hooks made of sin. Even frontman Joel Morales' often heavenly melodies have a new undertow, one highlighted by his decidedly anti-heroic lyrics. In other words, Dios Malos went to Seattle, holed up in Ek's studio and got in touch with their baddest gods. Good for them: It's always been the bad gods who rule rock.

BuyaTimeshare.com Supports FTC Timeshare Resale Initiative June 14, 2013Posted by Steve Luba in : News & Events, Timeshare Resale , trackback
Online timeshare resale and rental advertiser BuyaTimeshare.com has announced its full support of the campaign led by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to shut down companies operating illegally in the timeshare resale industry.
The FTC, working with the U.S. Attorney's office and various state agencies around the country, stated last week it has brought 191 cases against companies over the past two years, with over 180 people currently under prosecution for fraudulent timeshare resales and travel club activity. The State of Florida has sued nine resale companies this year, with a total of 83 civil cases pending across 28 states.
The FTC activity comes as welcome news to Wesley Kogelman, president and CEO, BuyaTimeshare.com, who acknowledges that these rouge operators have made it more difficult for legitimate companies to offer services to owners looking to find buyers.
"We are very supportive of the FTC and law enforcement agencies working to clean up the secondary market," Kogelman said. "These companies have given the entire industry a black eye and it's no wonder that owners are hesitant when looking for a resale company with which to do business."
Kogelman added that there are a few basic points of emphasis that timeshare owners need to be aware of when dealing with a suspect company. They are:
- Ask how the company plans to market their services to buyers. If an owner can't find the company through a basic Google search for generic search terms such as "buy timeshare", then no buyer will find them either. They are questionable.
- Do they cold call owners? Any company that makes an unsolicited call to an owner is one to be very careful of when doing business.
- Do they claim to have a buyer waiting for their timeshare? Buyers looking for timeshares review inventory already being advertised on the internet, so if the owner has not advertised their unit for sale, then how would a company know to bring them a buyer? These are companies not to be trusted.
- Do they require a written contract to engage their services? In Florida, it is state law that a resale operator must have a signed agreement from a timeshare owner before providing services. Always ask to sign a contract before engaging a company to advertise a timeshare for sale.
BuyaTimeshare.com has been connecting owners with buyers for 14 years, so anyone with questions about how the secondary market operates can contact the company at http://buyatimeshare.com.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Issues with Black desktop (Tried other solutions to no avail)
I hate to start a new thread and account just for this, but you all have helped me with a lot of my computer problems of late and this one is really bugging me.
I read all I could find on this or other forums on the subject and tried everything but it wont seem to work.
I first noticed I was having issues when my computer refused to change backgrounds in the slideshow I had selected. I was using one of the standard sets of pictures as the background slideshow and it was running flawlessly until Yesterday afternoon when it stuck on a specific picture. At that point I tried changing the desktop to another stock background on the computer and it refused to change from the previous image. I did the same with one of my images thinking maybe there was an issue with the computers images and had no changed results. I then tossed it into high contrast mode and whatnot with zero change. I have flipped between all of the different backgrounds and Theme offered with no results. I Booted (Both shut down + rebooting, and simply restarting) the computer a couple of times and also entered in safe mode. At this point I began looking up solutions. I have tried what was offered on This thread with no success. I also followed the another thread that told me to end explorer.exe and restart it and did so with no success. All of my drivers are up to date, and I tried a couple of other solutions form a couple of other sites all to no avail.
I know it's not a serious problem, it's just a tad frustrating and I'd love some help!

Covered 'Spin Cycle' in homage to Eyedea & Abilities. :D
Involved with a species evolving so slowly
Genetically infantile, violent and holy
We think we're so smart but there's not much to know
Caveman is still alive behind those robot eyes
Fully controlled by ten thousand year old instincts
Hands on the war button, flinch and your world's extinct
This is technology for the barbarian
I see the future: the past, we'll be there again

Today was our last day in Milan, and overall our last day in Europe. Today we visited Sergio Tacchini, a fashion company who is known for their tennis clothing for famous champions. It was cool to learn the ends and outs of how a business innovates, creates, markets and sales clothing. They gave us free gifts to go also! Afterwards we visited Advanced Capital where we got inspiring tips on how to be a prosperous entrepreneur and team leader. During our free time in Milan we shopped and got to see more of the Milano Duomo Cathedral, so beautiful. I even did the unmentionable and fed the pigeons like the people of the community were doing, so scary!!! But, tomorrow we will be traveling back to "The States" and I can't wait to share my experiences with all those I love! Thanks for keeping up with my blogging. Ciao!

The Bachelor's Tierra LiCausi "A Little Dramatic," Chris Harrison Saysby Free Britney at . Comments
The Bachelor host-pimp Chris Harrison has insisted that mercurial contestant Tierra LiCausi is not a bad person, however she can be a little dramatic.
Ya think?
Tierra has been a source of controversy this season, and criticism intensified Monday when she cried, talked $h!t and threatened to leave the show.
Her antics prompted Sean Lowe to offer her a rose to convince her to stay, which didn't help matters as far as the other women in the house see it.
How long will she last? The Bachelor spoilers we've read say ... well, follow the link if you want to know. But here's how Harrison sizes her up:
"I think she's just a little dramatic," he told TV Guide.
"I don't know if it's a game like when Courtney [Robertson] did it last season, but I also don't get the impression that Tierra is as savvy and good at playing the game."
"I think she's caught up in it, and it's a mess."
Harrison also said Tierra LiCausi, "She'll be one of those people at the Women Tell All who will say, 'I don't understand why people don't like me'.
"I don't think she's a bad person, but I'm guessing that's how she dates off the show too - she wins and she wins at all costs and so far she's getting her way."
Sean Lowe recently admitted that giving Tierra a rose was a "rash decision" but explained that he didn't know "how much the other women disliked her."
Whether you're a Bachelor spoilers reader or not, it's hard to see her lasting much longer, isn't it? Especially with such a grounded guy like Sean?
Send that to timing big fat liar home!!!!!!!!???
Sean, If you are a man that believes in God, trust him to have your best interest at heart. You are such an awesome guy. Please don't let Tiera to mislead you. She is such an emotional wreck. I totally understand that she has gone through something traumatic, but is she really ready to love and trust again. I pray you don't get let down like before, you deserve to be happy.

In April, Carl Robins was hired by ABC, Inc as the new campus recruiter. Shortly after his hire Robin's, was able to hire 15 employees in the operations department, even though he had only been on the job for about six months. In mid May, Robin's was contacted by Monica Carroll's, who was the supervisor for the department about the processing of the new employees he had fired for her. Robin's went over the various things that need to get done in order for the employees to start, such as training schedule, orientation, manuals, policy booklets, physicals, drug tests, and a host of other issues, and told Monica that he was taking care of everything and that the employees would be process on time in order to start their new jobs in her dept on June 15th.
After Carl came back from his Memorial Day weekend, he went to check the status on the trainees and to confirm that everyone was going according to plan, when he noticed that some of the documents needs to process the new trainees had not been completed on time and that he was becoming worried. He also noticed that none of the drug tests were completed either. He then went to check on the conference room, where the orientation would be held, and quickly became aware that Joe had already reserved the room for an all month training sessions. Once Carl became awake of all that was going wrong, he didn't know what he would do to solve the problem.
After reviewing the above scenario, I have noticed quite a few problems that Carl is facing. First, I would say that he was unprepared to hire any employees let alone 15 of them. He was not prepared in establishing the requirements that he would need in order to hire the employees, he was not prepared in the materials, and it does not seem like he was properly training in the hiring and what he needs in order to get the...


text: Bikini Model Who Received Congressman's SOTU 'ilu' Tweet Is Long-Lost Daughter Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 15 Feb 2013 post a comment Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN), who was caught tweeting a 24-year-old bikini model during the State of the Union address, admitted on Thursday that he was in fact tweeting his long-lost daughter. Cohen discovered the woman was his daughter just three years ago. In a bizarre twist to an embarrassing episode for the 63-year-old bachelor, Cohen also conceded he discovered that the woman, identified as Victoria Brink on Twitter, was his daughter by doing a Google search. "I Googled her mother, found out she had a child and the math looked pretty accurate," he said. "The mom told me we had a lot of catching up to do." During the State of the Union address, Cohen tweeted this to Brink: "nice to know you were watchin SOTU (state of the union.) Happy Valentines beautiful girl. Ilu." "Ilu" is used on the Internet to mean, "I love you." Cohen deleted that tweet 15 minutes after it posted. When his office was pressed for details about the strange tweet, Cohen's press secretary Michael Pagan said on Wednesday that Cohen told him she was "the daughter of a longtime friend and I consider her like family." Pagan said Cohen explained to his senior staff on Thursday that Brink was his daughter and they had been "trying to get to know each other these past three years." "The reason why he couldn't tell anyone is because he was trying to protect her and the family because they're private citizens," Pagan said. Cohen first told NBC News that Brink was his daughter before he and his staff released more details about Cohen's relationship with Brink.

'Fundamentals Don't Support' Current Oil Prices
"The fundamentals don't support the price of oil," Hiller Group national sales manager Wesley Earl told attendees of the Florida Aviation Trade Association annual meeting on Tuesday. Tampa, Fla.-based Hiller Group is a fuel distributor that provides Chevron and Texaco branded fuel to more than 350 FBOs. Factors inflating fuel prices include the dwindling number of refineries (especially for jet-A), geopolitical issues, lack of a U.S. energy policy and the low value of the U.S. dollar, but Earl said commodities speculators are behind what he contends is an "oil bubble" as the price per barrel hovers just below $140. He maintains the current pricing levels aren't sustainable and "should really be in the $60- to $80-per-barrel range." As fuel prices climbed this year, fuel sales at FBOs have fallen between 10 percent and 20 percent year-over-year. Separately, a well known Central Florida FBO told AIN that its fuel sales are down 15 percent over last year. Meanwhile, OPEC secretary general Abdullah al-Badri this week called for measures to curb market speculation, which OPEC contends is sending oil prices to "unjustified levels."

Fabulous 3 bed 3 bath waterfront apartment, Chelsea Harbour
West London
Fulham is a green and affluent suburb within close reach of many famously extravagant places such as Chelsea and Kensington too. There are ample parks and open spaces such as Fulham Palace Gardens, Eel Brook Common and Parsons Green which are the largest, and where you'll often see runners, cyclists and families picnicking in the summer months.
Most of the residential roads in Fulham are lined with trees and the houses are often painted in different pastel shades. Fulham Palace is a beautiful medieval building and offers a delightful Tudor courtyard, an 18th century garden hosting contemporary sculptures and a museum which houses the Palace's history.
You are rarely far from a decent gastro pub with favourites The White Horse – affectionately known as 'the Sloaney Pony' - and Aragon House both close by in Parsons Green. The corner of Lillie Road by Munster Road hosts a number of boutique antique shops, and has been dubbed 'Munster Village' after the Victorian and Edwardian houses situated along its pretty streets. There are a number of organic food shops, coffee bars and restaurants which make the area very appealing to professionals, couples and families looking for a slightly quieter stay, without compromising on style or local amenities.
Nearby New Kings Road also boasts some exclusive interior design shops and galleries, particularly as it begins to merge with the Kings Road towards Chelsea. Fulham is also a great area for sports lovers who can enjoy a variety of Premier League venues with Fulham Football Club, Chelsea Football Club and Queens Park Rangers all based in the neighbourhood.
No smoking, no pets and no parties please!

Almost exactly a year ago (give or take 3 weeks) I wrote a post on Microsofts's then new XBox accessory, the motion sensing Kinect. Back then I noted how the Kinect had been passionately embraced by hackers and scientists across America and the globe. Engineering grad students were finding uses for the Kinect that Microsoft could not have even begun to dream of. Microsoft's initial reaction was to lets it's lawyers off the leash but luckily, someone with a modicum of sense managed to beat that instinct down and lock it in cupboard. However, after that, Microsoft largely turned silent. Videos of new and creative uses for the Kinect kept coming but the big M seemed to stick to the plan that the Kinect should be nothing but a cool addition to a gaming console. Truly a horrific waste in terms of marketing and a sad testament to Microsofts ability to grasp the reins of a potentially paradigm shifting opportunity. I was genuinely sad.
Until this video was passed around my office on Monday morning.
That video is goddamn magic.
For me it is more than just the hauntingly beautiful interpretation of the Pixies "Where is my mind?" that accompanies the video* of people using the Kinect in ways that most hardcore gamers would find baffling, if not downright infuriating.
The video is accompanies Microsoft's recent launch of The Kinect Effect website and the release of SDK Beta, a software package that will make it easier for people to write programs for their Kinect. The company has finally decided to throw its full weight behind the modding community, a move we usually only get from Google. What is more, Microsoft has decided that the Kinect has the heft and power to stand on it's own. No longer is it merely an fancy gadget that will allow your kids to interact with Elmo or for you to impress your drunk friends with your Dance Central moves. It is a product, no, it is brand all on its own and the video is testament to this.
Only once do you hear someone in the video mention the word XBox, but the fabled entertainment console is nowhere to be seen in the video. At the end of the video, the word "Kinect" stands entirely on it's own. It is no longer the XBox Kinect, it has grown beyond it.
Around my office, this would probably be labeled as strong evidence for 'gamification', a term I hope to discuss in greater detail some time later. The essential premise is that gaming is become far more integrated into our everyday lives as our everyday lives become more digital. I do agree that gamification is a big part of what is happening here, but I cannot stop myself from thinking that Microsoft has stumbled on something possibly world shifting. The Kinect could very well one day eclipse iPad in terms of use and ubiquity. It is already light years ahead of everyone's favorite tablet where the price tag is concerned, it only costs a fifth of an iPad 2 ($150)! All that is required, are a few killer apps, and Kinects will be in every conference room, surgery, music studio, physical therapy room, McDonalds and under every TV across the world. All it took was for Microsoft to release a few bits of code.
I don't think that I would be out of line by saying that even the great, late Steve Jobs could not help but be impressed by this.
- Philip Beickler
* The video was made by twofifteenmccann, a division of McCann Erikson, the global ad agency that won the exclusive contract to all Microsoft advertising. The company is responsible for the hugely impressive Halo and Gears of War ad campaigns that I have mentioned in this space previously. They really have done some amazing work for Microsoft and for the XBox division in particular. I will definitely write about those campaigns in the future.
Alright. Way back when we at YBiS were still updating with some regularity, my colleagues showed you some stellar examples of humerous baseball and American football advertisements. Now it is my turn to represent some of the best and funniest soccer clips. Beware, some of the them go back to the early to mid 90's, as you can see in the first clip by the apperance of one Eric Cantona (still the most brutal Frenchman to have ever played the game) and a 19 year old Ronaldo. If these names don't mean anything to you then you ought to be deeply ashamed of yourself. Enjoy!
This one was absolutely legendary back in the day. Oddly enough, it too seems to feature Eric Cantona, who was well retired by this point.
This is just getting strange, I am beginning to wonder if Eric might have some serious blackmail material on Nike.
Now for a little something from the competition.
The irony of this video would not be appreciated until years later.
Well folks, that is all. I wish you all a good weekend!
- Philip Beickler
I am going to do something very mean and allow you all to watch these videos first. Then once you are done clawing out your eyes and stuffing pencils in your ears, I'll continue.
That's right let it all out. It is better out than in. So, now that you have picked yourself off the floor, time for us to get down to brass tacks.
You probably had some indication from the header, that I don't like these ads. I find them to be offensive to me as a man, as a marketer and as human being with the mental capacity to dress myself in the mornings. Some might be tempted to say that I have no right to comment on "Hail to the V" *shudder* campaign as I am obviously not the target demographic, but that is a weak counter argument. While Summer's Eve products may not be meant for me, I am still fully capable of being offended on behalf of the women who this ad campaign is meant to appeal to. I don't think anyone would hesitate to denounce an ad campaign involving a talking penis. (Editors note: Stephen Colbert has done a humorous take on this)
However, looking past the squick factor of a talking set of genitals, the question does eventually spring to mind "is this a bad campaign?". My answer to that would: yes. It really is.
The person who came up with the phrase "there is no such thing as bad publicity" was a filthy, devious liar, probably trying to save their job after a particularly sordid scandal, because this is bad publicity. People may be talking about the campaign but conversations that generally start with "Did you see that awful…" are not ones that you want your company's name involved in. Beyond which, it is impossible to ignore fact that these videos indulge in extremely lazy ethnic stereotyping. We have Vanilla Vagina, Sassy Black Vagina and Fiery Latina Vagina. Why did they stop there? Why not go for Mysterious Middle Eastern Vagina or Unshaven European Vagina. Yes, these are crass ideas but it doesn't change the fact that it would fit snugly into the narrative of the campaign.
You could give Summer's Eve credit for trying something new and daring, but that doesn't make it good. The purpose of ad campaigns is to boost revenues through increased brand awareness. I am certain "Summer's Eve" and "Hail to the V" are trending high on Google and twitter, but given the context I wouldn't call that a good thing. I am also pretty sure that women who see these ads will not be inspired to buy their products. After all the implication seems to be: use Summer's Eve, and your vagina will talk to you.

Augmented reality is the "live direct or an indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input, such as sound or graphics" according to it's Wikipedia page. The basic idea is that you point your phone or other viewing device at some real world location and it will then show you something about it, either information, digital art or advertisements. The concept is still in the process of being birthed but the potential is immense, for any number of industries including advertising and branding.
Imagine you go to your favorite shop, pull out your phone, activate AR app and WHAM, what was once an ordinary store front lights up with information. The types of items they sell, sales events, profiles of people who work there, little commercial videos even your own purchasing history and frequent shopper status. Just imagine the Terminator vision from the movies and you are essentially there.
At the moment you need to use a webcam or a smartphone with the appropriate app in order to see the foundations of this new world. However that is merely a temporary state of affairs. One day we will be able to switch between the AR world and the real world at whim, likely wearing glasses not to dissimilar from the ones pictured below or even using contact lenses.
For now though, let us marvel at some of the imaginative ways branders have started to use augmented reality to give their campaigns that added special touch. Below are some of the most impressive examples I found on the web. Enjoy!

A fist-pumping crowd honored Baltimore's world heavyweight boxing champion Hasim "Rock" Rahman at City Hall yesterday - a celebration marred by a car crash that knocked the fighter and his family from the back of a convertible.
Rahman, his wife, Crystal, and at least one of his children tumbled into
the street when, police said, the driver of a Volkswagen Jetta ignored a
traffic officer, sped by a cruiser blocking a downtown intersection and
broadsided Rahman's parade car.
Johns Hopkins Hospital, where his wife was
held overnight for observation.
"The Jetta just came through and hit the car, and we went flying," Rahman
said after the 1:30 p.m. crash at East Lombard and South streets. "That's all
I remember."
The accident scene was a spectacle rivaling the hoopla surrounding Rahman's
surprising fifth-round knockout of Lennox Lewis in South Africa early Sunday.
It drew hoards of media, the police commissioner and Mayor Martin O'Malley,
who argued with a self-proclaimed friend of the champ over whether police
could have prevented the crash by giving Rahman more protection.
At noon, hundreds of fans had gathered three blocks away at City Hall and
watched as Rahman, a 20-1 underdog in the fight, stood in a regulation-sized
ring and held his title belt over his head.
"This is Baltimore's day. I didn't do this myself," he said. "When I was in
the ring, I felt Baltimore and stomped on Lennox Lewis. And we're going to
stomp on [Mike] Tyson, too. We're all champions, and we all stick together."
Rahman alluded to his days growing up in Baltimore, where his reputation as
a street fighter led him into many altercations, and where as a young man he
was once shot five times and convicted once on drug charges.
"I've been in far worse situations," Rahman told the crowd. "After all the
adversity I had to overcome on the streets of Baltimore, I thought [British
world boxing champ] Lennox Lewis was a cakewalk."
Rahman and O'Malley said they would try to bring former heavyweight champ
Mike Tyson to Baltimore to match him against Rahman. The champ also said he
was going to appear on the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" tomorrow and wanted to
take the mayor with him.
He gave O'Malley a pair of signed boxing gloves, which the mayor said he
would display in a glass case in City Hall.
"Baltimore is the city of chaaaaampions!" O'Malley said, imitating a boxing
The mayor read a proclamation to the crowd, naming yesterday Hasim "Rock"
Rahman day in Baltimore, "showing Baltimore still has what it takes to knock
the stuffing out of the British."
Rahman's father, John Cason, who is a chaplain for the state prison system,
addressed the crowd with a Muslim greeting and said he hopes Rahman proves to
be a worthy champion.
"I'm proud to point to him as a role model for your sons and brothers,"
Cason said. "I pray for him that he will be a heavyweight champion worthy of
being a role model for your children."
The throngs then listened to a song written in honor of Rahman called "Hit
'em up style" by the Breakfast Flakes, the morning disc jockeys for radio
station WERQ-FM (92-Q). The lyrics included:
Hey, Lennox in the ring you better not smile. Rahman's got the hit 'em up
Put his hand on your jaw and knocked you out a while.
