In this last part of our series on small business sales tips we discuss how to avoid a leaky sales funnel. We're focusing on creating a good experience or that "Wow" factor to get more sales.
In the first 3 parts we talked about some of the things that play a big role in a successful sales funnel: attracting/ capturing leads, building trust with those prospects by nurturing them and creating follow up campaigns, considering that there are no bad leads but that some may require more time and a lighter touch.
So once we define who our audience is, we can build on what we have and provide things that will engage those prospects and leave them wanting more.
That Warm and Fuzzy Feeling
We've all been to a place or had a certain customer experience that has exceeded our expectations. When this is the case we often go back for more and tell our closest friends about how much we love that product, service or staff. Giving your leads that warm and fuzzy feeling, may not be as hard as you think.
- New customers are somewhat open-minded and give you the opportunity to "wow" them to a certain extent.
- Make sure you recognize what their needs are. In the first stages of your sales process you can really get to know your prospects if you make sure you ask about their needs.
- First impressions play a big part of how your leads can become prospects and move along the pipeline so the goal of delighting them every step of the way can help you ease their worries and feel like you truly value their business.
If their experience is close to a "Wow" level, those referrals will start pouring in.
Starting your own business can be scary and overwhelming, but if you follow steps like these ones and keep a flexible and positive attitude, you can make things a little easier on yourself and benefit from avoiding any leaks in your sales funnel.
To help bring in new customers, use the right techniques. Fin them in "The Infusionsoft Guide to Sales and Marketing."

My husband and I have been hosting "James" an injured serviceman at our home in Vermont for 5 years now. He comes for a ski weekend through the Wounded Warrior Program. As we have gotten to know James it became clear that going back to college was going to prove to be a big financial burden. Through the help of the Make It Count Foundation, we were able to offer James some assistance with his tuition. This was just the motivation he needed to get back in the classroom and finish his degree.
James is now married and owns his own house. He attributes much of his success to the help of the Make it Count Foundation.

November is a good month to reflect on the impact of wars, past and present. Remembrance Day was established at the end of WW1, which was briefly referred to as "The war to end all wars." We wish that had been the case! Since then conflicts have continued with tragic regularity. Many authors have addressed the theme of war and its casualties in their works.
Recently Steven Galloway, author of The Cellist of Sarajevo, spoke about the different perspectives taken by people as they struggle to survive the sudden conflict they are thrown into, and react to the decisions and sides they must take. In his presentation during the One Book One Calgary launch, Galloway reminded us that the casualities of war are mostly civilians, rather than those whose profession is war, like soldiers, generals, leaders and doctors.
As part of OBOC's programming, a discussion on Nov 21 looks at an emerging disturbing trend in modern warfare – the use of Child Soldiers. This is heartbreakingly represented in Romeo Dalliare's book They Fight Like Soldiers, They Die Like Children.
The differences between opposing sides is often hard to distinguish. This is simply and poetically shown in another story called The Enemy by Davide Cali. Sitting in a trench, a soldier faces off against an unseen enemy who, as the story progresses, he realizes is not very different from himself.
War Horse by Michael Morpurgo, offers a unique perspective on war, that of a cavalry horse who witnesses the horrors of trench warfare on both sides of the conflict. Morpurgo's thrilling story continues to have a powerful resonance, including translations into stage and screen adaptations.
Check out this link for more books with characters who try to make sense of the complexities of war.

Every Monday through Thursday, starting September 19th, Forest Lawn Library is having afterschool programming for teens in grades 7 -12. There is something for everyone --here is a brief look at some of the exciting programs that are happening:
On September 21st and 28th the branch is hosting a drawing workshop with a focus on comics (anime and western-style), video games, and animated film. On the first day teens will be introduced to the basics, while day two will build on the techniques and tricks learned and focus on more advanced character design and techniques.
Did you know that you can build a robot that can solve a rubics cube? Play a perfect game of Wii bowling? Well... during the Robotics program on November 9th and 16th you can come try your hand at the LEGO Mindstorm Robot and see what you make a robot do. We also have some battling robots amongst others.
If you want to try your hand at Cake Decorating, there will be Cupcake Decorating on September 28th. Our Fashion Design program might start you on the path to Project Runway Canada. You can bring 3 clothing items and learn how to do everything from hemming, sewing on buttons, mending, and simple alterations. That's just the first week. In the second week you'll get the chance to remodel your clothes: make regular jeans "skinny", update last year's wardrobe to current style, or just create your own unique styles.
If you're into Anime and Manga, join the Anime Club! Come watch Anime movies, receive prizes and vote on which movies the club watches.
All of these programs are just the tip of the iceberg; in addition, Forest Lawn is also hosting Yoga, the City of Calgary L.E.A.D. program, Scrapbooking, Blogging, Basic Budgeting hosted by Momentum, Filpbook Animation, Gaming and Karaoke, Volunteer Opportunities, Red Cross Certified Babysitting Course, Nutrition and Cooking, Knitting and Crocheting and more.
Thanks to our guest blogger, Jan, for updating us on all these sweet programs!
You may have heard that we have started a Youth Advisory Council. Yay!
Last April we ran a YAC (great acronym, eh?) for three weeks and we loved all the feedback we got from our youth volunteers. In fact, it went so well that we decided to establish a permanent one.
We started YAC because we realize that the best way to make our teen services and spaces better is to ask teens for their opinions and input. So--YAC will officially start in October.
The thing is, in order for YAC to run we need volunteers! We're looking for youth between the ages of 14-17 to volunteer for approximately 2 hours per week from October – June. If you are interested in this opportunity or have any questions about it please email email@example.com and tell us why you would like to volunteer.
Now, let me tell you why this is an awesome opportunity. YAC will give you a chance to build leadership skills and to share your ideas. You will be able to help shape library programs and services so that we can make them better for youth throughout Calgary. It'll be great...for so many reasons. A good way to meet people, to have a say, to build your resume and to help make Calgary better.

That time where we revel in the glory of reading books about… well… ANYTHING … as long as it's not Polynomial Equations, Chemical Nomenclature, or (horror of horrors) Short Historical Fiction from the Canadian Prairies… Unless, you know, you're into that sort of thing.
Whatever sort of thing you ARE into, Calgary Public Library is where it's at. So... Gear up for this summer's YOUTH READ program! Full of challenges created by YOU, we have amped up all our Grand prizes, added new Weekly prizes, as well as ways to intereact with other teens, share your ideas, art, poetry writing and smarts!

We also don't recommend you crack the sides of your iPad or your e-Reader either. Or your own spine for that matter -- we can't afford to pay your chiropractic bills… In fact, let's just not crack any spines whatsoever. Instead, let's kick back, relax, and gently-open-the-covers-of-a-well-loved-book or serenely-upload-the-WMA-files-of-an-e-book… it's time to YOUTH READ 2011! (Yay.)

7 comments:
Wow, fascinating story and great detecive work!ReplyDelete
That's amazing! It's wonderful that Christopher already has so much great information about his birth family. I wish you all luck in finding out the rest!ReplyDelete
Oh I am hoping and praying he will be able to find out more. Great detective work again!ReplyDelete
We're not related but I will check with my Canadian cousins in the Windsor area. Maybe they'll remember something.ReplyDelete
I searched for (& was successful in finding) my birth father back in '07. I had been looking online for a few years but nothing had turned up. I finally caught a break when I accidentally misspelled his name in a google search and, low and behold, there he was! I was 34 at the time. I created http://www.findfamilyafar.com to help others who are in the same or similar circumstances. I know all too well the pain that accompanies "not knowing". FFA is unique in that it creates a great "exposure" piece that is very useful for those persons (ie parents) that may be searching for YOU right now. Use of the site is totally free and there is no obligation. Hope this helps and perhaps will see you on http://www.findfamilyafar.com. Good luck!ReplyDeleteReplies
Gina, thanks so much for sharing the link!Delete

One in 8 with fibromyalgia uses cannabis as medicine
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - One in eight people with the painful condition fibromyalgia self-medicate with pot and other cannabis products, according to a new Canadian study.
"That is not unusual behavior, in general, for people with chronic medical illnesses for which we don't have great treatments," said Dr. Igor Grant, who heads the Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research at the University of California and was not involved in the study.
"People start looking around, they look for other types of remedies, because they need the help," he told Reuters Health.
The question is if self-medicating with cannabis is really helpful for people with fibromyalgia, researchers say.
Marijuana has been shown to ease certain types of pain in patients with HIV and other conditions. But Grant said he doesn't know of any research showing the drug can relieve the pain associated with fibromyalgia.
And the question of whether it helps fibromyalgia sufferers regain some of their daily functions, such as housekeeping or working, remains up in the air, too.
"We don't want to just see pain reduction, but an improvement in function," said Peter Ste-Marie, a pain researcher at McGill University in Montreal, who worked on the new study. "If it's not helping them get back into a daily life pattern, is it helping them?"
People with fibromyalgia typically experience pain in their joints and muscles and may also suffer from frequent headaches and fatigue.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about two percent of adults have fibromyalgia, which remains a mystery to scientists.
The condition can be treated with physical therapy, antidepressants, pain medications and other approaches, although none of them is a cure.
To see how many people turn to marijuana, Ste-Marie and his colleagues collected information from the medical records of 457 patients who came to the pain unit at McGill University Health Center. Their findings are published in the journal Arthritis Care & Research.
All of the patients had been referred to the clinic for fibromyalgia symptoms, although only 302 of the patients were confirmed to have fibromyalgia as their primary diagnosis.
About 10 percent said they smoked marijuana for medical purposes and another three percent had a prescription for a synthetic form of the active chemical in the cannabis plant.
"The popular knowledge of marijuana being available for pain would tend to demonstrate why 10 percent of patients would give it a try," said Ste-Marie.
"There really is no miracle drug for fibromyalgia. We definitely understand that patients would try to find something else," he told Reuters Health.
The researchers couldn't tell from the study which of the patient had started smoked pot before their fibromyalgia developed. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 40 percent of U.S. adults have tried marijuana at some point.
The study showed that pot smokers and non-users had the same rates of disability and unemployment. However, patients who had unstable mental illness or had a worrisome use of opioid pain medications were more likely to report using cannabis - a finding that raised concerns with Ste-Marie and his colleagues.
"Before saying herbal cannabis has a future in fibromyalgia, there are multiple things that need to be looked at," he said.

Mysterious Giant Shape Discovered
Is it a crop circle? Is it a plus? Might it be a cross? Just what is that giant shape up southeast of Greeley and how did it get there? Could it be the Denver areas first giant shaped cache run imagined and implemented by some local cachers? I do believe it is!
Steve and Margaret of msstrong put together a fabulous 48-cache 24-mile run in the shape of a giant cross. The run is a surprising variety of different types of containers and typically takes between 2-3 hours to complete.
We're delighted to see someone put the time and effort into engineering a giant shape cache run for us here in Colorado! Many thanks to msstrong for the time, effort and creativity they put into this effort!
With our western neighboring state Utah both having a heart shape and a Kokopelli, we're hoping other cachers will add to our shaped bounty here in Colorado soon for more mini adventure runs.

Monday Night Football: Cutler, Romo not exactly mirror images
|Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler (6) warms up before an NFL football game against the St. Louis Rams in Chicago, Sunday, Sept. 23, 2012. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh)
CHICAGO — At this stage in their careers, Jay Cutler and Tony Romo often are portrayed as the same quarterback in a different uniform.
But if you look behind the face masks, they don't have as much in common as you might think.
Perceived similarity: They are about equally productive.
Difference: There is no question Romo has been a more efficient and dynamic quarterback.
Romo has a considerably better passer rating (96.6 to 83.6), average per attempt (8.03 to 7.23) and completion percentage (64.5 to 60.8).
What's more, Romo's passer rating is third highest all-time, behind only Aaron Rodgers' 103.2 and Steve Young's 96.8. He also has the sixth highest yards per attempt all-time, behind only Otto Graham (8.98), Sid Luckman (8.42), Norm Van Brocklin (8.16), Aaron Rodgers (8.13) and Cam Newton (8.08).
Perceived similarity: Both have been defined by postseason failures.
For Romo, it was a botched hold against the Seahawks in 2007, a fourth-down interception in the end zone as the clock was winding down against the Giants in 2008 and three fumbles and an interception against the Vikings in 2010. His record in the playoffs is 1-3.
For Cutler, it was throwing an interception and missing wide-open receivers before sitting out most of the second half with a knee injury against the Packers in the NFC championship game in 2011.
Difference: Even though Cutler actually has one more career start in the regular season than Romo, Cutler has had only one crack at the postseason; Romo has had three.
Perceived similarity: Both can take a beating.
There is little doubt these are two tough hombres.
Last Sunday, Romo was pummeled by the Bucs. You may have seen the video of him on his back with his eyes closed after one hit. A year ago, he played for six weeks with a broken rib and a punctured lung. He previously played with a broken collarbone and a broken finger.
Since 2010, Cutler has been sacked 86 times - more than any quarterback in the NFL.
Difference: Romo is better at avoiding pass rushers and buying second chances. He makes more throws on the run than Cutler and is better able to use broken plays to his advantage.
Perceived similarity: Both are gunslingers.
Since Cutler became a Bear in 2009, he has thrown more interceptions (55) than any player in the league other than Eli Manning, who has thrown three more in seven more games.
In that span, Romo has thrown 26 fewer interceptions than Cutler in three fewer games. But when Romo does throw interceptions, he sometimes throws doozies.
For instance: In the first game at Cowboys Stadium, Romo threw three picks in a two-point loss to the Giants. Last year the Cowboys jumped out to a 27-3 lead on the Lions before Romo threw two pick-sixes in a five-minute span in the third quarter, and the Lions came back to win.
Difference: Romo is a better caretaker than he's given credit for, and a better caretaker than Cutler. "Tony likes to create and make plays and he has a knack for it," said Stephen Jones, Cowboys vice president. "Every now and then you might have a turnover. But he knows how important it is to take care of the ball."
But Cutler can make an impossible throw better than Romo. No quarterback can squeeze a pass into a ridiculously tight spot better than Cutler. The fact that he knows it sometimes can work to his detriment, however.
Perceived similarity: Both are about to be paid like elite quarterbacks.
The contracts of both players expire after the 2013 season.
Difference: It is pretty much a foregone conclusion that Romo is going to get his money. Cowboys management has made that clear, and it wouldn't be surprising if Romo signed a new deal at any time.
"Tony is our quarterback for the foreseeable future," Jones said.
It appears the Bears still are trying to determine Cutler's value to the team.
Perceived similarity: Each has one of the most high-profile jobs in the NFL, given the team each plays for.
Difference: Romo may always be in the shadows of former Cowboys Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach. Cutler, meanwhile, has a chance to become the greatest Bears quarterback since Sid Luckman.
Perceived similarity: The leadership of both players has been questioned, and both have been called aloof at times.
Difference: Romo is more of a quiet, humble, leader by example. Cutler can be a very vocal, forceful leader.
Cutler is not always sensitive to people he works with. Romo is known for his collegiality and appears to be respected by all corners of the Cowboys locker room.
The world will see just how similar, and dissimilar, these quarterbacks can be Monday at Cowboys Stadium.

NEW YORK (AP)—Terror can come cheap.
Confessed Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad appears to have financed his failed plot with a wad of $100 bills, but the amount of money needed to execute the scheme was fairly modest.
His car bomb was relatively cheap, too: $1,300 for a rusting 1993 Nissan Pathfinder and the cost of some firecrackers and tanks of gasoline and propane.
Shahzad, who seemed to have paid cash for many and maybe all of his purchases, bought himself a Kel-Tec rifle, which sells for around $400, but skimped on luxuries.
The 30-year-old slept on an air mattress in a sparsely furnished apartment, and, according to one account, tried to get a job at a jewelry store where he had worked as a young college student.
Shahzad's finances are under scrutiny, as authorities try to learn whether he got cash from a terror group.
A law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Thursday that investigators had identified and were looking for a person who helped courier money to Shahzad from an overseas source. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the investigation.
Matthew Levitt, a former U.S. Treasury intelligence official, now a senior fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said the fact that Shahzad paid for the car and plane ticket in cash, sometimes using $100 bills, was a "red flag."
The money trail, he said, may provide valuable clues as to whether Shahzad had any help.
Yet the bombing plan, as described by authorities, appears to have been simple enough that even a single person or a small group with limited means could stage this sort of attack.
Shahzad's rent from mid-February to the start of May, his two airline tickets, gun and vehicle purchases appear to total less than $7,000. The actual bomb components - fertilizer, propane tanks, and a few boxes of cheap firecrackers - were even cheaper, maybe a few hundred dollars at most.
"You don't need to have a lot of money to put together a bomb. It's all relative to what you want to make," said Leo W. West, a retired FBI explosives expert. He noted that a more sophisticated device containing exotic chemicals would have been more expensive.
Prosecutors said that on May 1, Shahzad tried to detonate an SUV filled with flammable materials in Times Square. The vehicle smoldered, but didn't explode. He was arrested after investigators traced him through the SUV's previous owner.
Shahzad is in federal custody. Authorities said he is coopering with investigators. He has yet to be arraigned. The whereabouts of his wife and children has not been made public, but they are believed to be living overseas.
Born in Pakistan, Shahzad spent more than a decade in the U.S., going to school, working and starting a family, before moving back to Pakistan last spring.
Shahzad has been characterized as being in money trouble when he left the U.S., but records and interviews suggest he still had resources.
He came from a well-to-do family. In America, he held a steady white-collar job as a budget analyst for years - a job he only gave up when he left the country.
Until that departure, there was no trail of lawsuits or missed payments indicating he was in trouble. In fact, his financial history was clean enough that Wachovia Bank gave him a $65,000 home equity line in January 2009.

On 5 December, FRA will present the findings of its recent survey on Discrimination and hate crime against Jews in EU Member States at a conference, organised by the Polish Ombudsman in partnership with FRA.
The conference brings together researchers, Ombudsman officials and representatives from the law enforcement authorities and the judiciary to discuss antisemitism at a national and European level.
Discrimination and hate crime against Jews in EU Member States: experiences and perceptions of antisemitism
This FRA survey is the first-ever to collect comparable data on Jewish people's experiences and perceptions of antisemitism, hate-motivated crime and discrimination across a number of EU Member States, specifically in Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Its findings reveal a worrying level of discrimination, particularly in employment and education, a widespread fear of victimisation and heightening concern about antisemitism online.

i feel so disgusted with myself,i haven't been feeling happy for a long while now but i try to put on a happy face even if i feel like crying pretty much every minute of every fucking day.
but i can't cry,the tears just won't come so as well as feeling inadequate,worthless and ugly i also feel like i'm heartless and incapable of expressing emotions.
so i resorted to doing what i do best and i now have 42 lovely fresh cuts on my arm.
it's getting out of control now and i'm scared.
and my blurty is the only 'person' i have to talk to.
fuck me,i sound like a self pitying cow.
that'll be because i am then.
another fault to add to the ever growing list.

Automatic Data Processing, a payroll processing company that releases its own employment monthly report a day before the U.S. Department of Labor releases its report, said today that nonfarm private employment nationwide grew by 201,000 for the month of August. Jobs in the construction field grew by 10,000, ADP's best reading since March.
Economists generally do not put too much weight on the company's monthly report, since it often diverges significantly from the federal report. But ADP's is always looked at as a harbringer for what one might see in the latter report. Because of the good news in today's report, some experts have revised their expectations for tomorrow's federal report upward, from 120,000 new jobs to 125,000.
ADP measures private payrolls, naturally, since that is what it does. Often, changes in public payrolls drastically can skew the federal report from ADP's findings. We saw that, with government rolls being cut over the past few years as states cut back due to lower tax revenues, those public sector losses brought down the total job increases in the Labor Department's report. But it's possible that trend could upend itself, in light of the fact that local and state governments are beginning to hire more people again, at the fastest rate seen in four years.
In spite of the good news, however, the construction industry has an enormous hole to dig itself out of. As you can see on the chart below from ADP's August report, the job losses in the construction field leading up to and following the 2008 financial crisis were devastating, and will take a considerable amount of time to get back.

The Hendri Coetzee Memoir
African river explorer Hendri Coetzee 's posthumous memoir is now available for pre-order. "Living the Best Day Ever" is compiled from Coetzee's extensive journals and blogs, written in the explorer's distinctive, no-holds-barred style.
Rivers Win Big in Banff
The prestigious Banff Mountain Film Festival wrapped Sunday Nov. 6, with movies by and about paddlers taking three of the highest honors. C&K is proud to say that our contributors had a hand in all three winning films.
Timeline – Remembering Hendri
Hendri Coetzee meets Pete Meredith, who immediately hires him to guide rafts on the Zambezi, the world's premier commercially guided big-water Class V run. Coetzee has never been in a raft or a kayak. Within three weeks Hendri runs Number 9-considered a mandatory portage-in a borrowed kayak.
Video: Ben Stookesberry talks 'Kadoma'
'I would do anything in my power to change what happened… but I would never change that 7 weeks with Hendri' –Ben Stookesberry
Laughing In The Rain by Chris Korbulic
People kept telling me that Hendri is the hardest, toughest, bravest guy anybody's ever met—and here I am going on an expedition that Hendri is saying is going to be the hardest expedition he's ever done. I wondered how I would measure up.
No Half Measures by Celliers Kruger
Hendri walked into my office a couple of years ago, asking for sponsorship. By that time we knew about each other for a while already, but hadn't met yet. My answer was an obvious yes—his reputation for running the hardest stuff was already growing. Since then a close relationship grew between two paddlers who discussed everything except paddling.
He Brought Perseverance by Ben Stookesberry
Hendri was hard. It was tough to keep up with him. He would push for 12 hours of daylight, wake up first thing in the morning and keep going. He brought so much intelligence, maturity and strength. He brought perseverance.
Teaser: 'Kadoma,' a film chronicling Hendri's final adventure
In C&K's latest issue, the 2011 Whitewater edition on newsstands now, we rolled out a number of remembrances and tributes to the late Hendri Coetzee. This post is one that does not appear in the magazine—as it's a video teaser for the forthcoming film, "Kadoma," chronicling Coetzee's final adventure before he was pulled under by a crocodile on Africa's Lukuga River, in December.
Hendri's Way by Gustav Nel
The river, according to the locals, was flooded. It was higher than it had ever been, and we reached the first rapids in about three hours. You could only scout from the top, so Hendri got on Joe Henry's shoulders to try and pick a line.
Meeting Hendri by Joe Henry
I can't even roll a kayak, but that's how we met. In 2006, I was on a truck tour through Africa and Hendri was working as a raft guide on the Nile in Jinja. I signed up for a kayak tour.
The Best Day Ever by Seth Warren
The fall of 2004 at the Nile Rivers Explorers bar had a Never Never Land feel, and Hendri definitely had that Peter Pan demeanor. I don't recall the moment we met, but I'll never forget the first time we paddled together—straight off the ski jump from the bar, and through the center of the 'Hump,' a giant Class V rapid right in front of Speke Camp.
He Didn't Like Baggage by Pete Meredith
Hendri had never been rafting or kayaking before I hired him. The Zambezi is pretty full-on, especially in the beginning of the season when the water is high. We threw him right into the deep end. Within a month he was taking some poor unsuspecting customers down the river, and long before that he kept telling me, 'I'm ready, I'm ready.'
Remembering Hendri
In death, Hendri Coetzee reminded us how to live. You don't judge a man like Hendri Coetzee, and you certainly don't change him. You can only remember the good times you shared—as seven of his friends do in these pages—and carry on.

Simply delicious
I cannot praise this product highly enough. It was very lean and yet perfectly tender and full of flavour. I do prefer organic meat, however it isn't always guaranteed to be top quality - especially when ordered online - this was top quality! Yes, it is expensive and I have to think very carefully before spending this much money on anything, so was tempted because it was on offer. This roast fed four initially and then, a couple of days later, fed four again in a delicious Shepherd's Pie - much better than making it with mince!. AND - I have the bone in my freezer ready to make a soup some time in the future. So it may be expensive, but it really can be good value with a bit of planning. I would not hesitate to buy this again - in fact I will have to resist buying it every week!
