We have been in the
business of importing these machines since inception in 2007.

year warranty and hold backup spares for future servicing thus your

All our machines come standard with
ARMSTRAPS for working out flabby arms &
triceps while standing!
need for sweaty and expensive gym clothes just step onto the crazy
fit in your work clothes and let it vibrate you back into shape
while you read or watch TV!
Just 3 x 10 minute sessions per day is equivalent to spending 2
hours training with no strain on the joints or the heart as the
vibrating plate moves smoothly with speeds from 1-50 levels.
Combining the ancient Chinese medical theories with modern theories,
this machine promotes metabolism and eliminates tiredness, unwinding
muscles and shaping the curve of the body.
The following
benefits can be achieved with the Crazy Fit Massage Machine:
Weight loss
Better bone
density Micro-circulation
circulatory system
Anti Stress
Let's expand on some of the above benefits ...
Consume the unwanted fat on the hips, waist and abdomen by vibration
and massage technique thereby firming the skin tone and reshaping
the body.
With age, cholesterol and calcium gets deposited in the veins and
can tighten the interior diameter thereby stiffening these which
often leads to high blood pressure and anoxemia and even coronary
heart disease. Frequent vibration by Crazy Fit spurs circulation of
blood therefore opening the veins and dissolving the detrimental
toxins which are evacuated by the higher metabolism rate.
By increasing the blood circulation this breaks down cellulite.
Stimulates intestines and thus helps with constipation by massaging
the points according to ancient Chinese medical theory.
Keep fit and enhance immunity by enhancing local circulation of
Improves conductive ability of nerve cells and regulates the neural
system and mitigates neurasthenic (a psychological disorder
characterized by chronic fatigue and weakness, loss of memory, and
generalized aches and pains, formerly thought to result from
exhaustion of the nervous system).
The Crazy Fit
Machine system is the most scientifically superior method of muscle
toning and body reshaping. The system transmits a fast sequence of
vibrations specifically designed to activate and stimulate the
muscle walls of the body.
This allows direct stimulation of the muscles , without producing
oxidative stress, which is the typical after effect of intense
muscular activity or exercise to the point of producing lactic acid,
which is the cause of the disagreeable feeling of 'hardening' or
stiffening that often follows muscular exercise particularly in
unfit people.
10 Minutes equals 2 hours of exercise! Instead of spending 2 hours
training, you can now get the same effect in just 10 minutes with
the new Crazy Fit Machine exercise and massage system. Step out the
office or at home onto the Crazy Fit Machine without the hassle of
getting into exercise clothes or rushing through the shower
Medical advantages of using the Crazy Fit Machine massage system:
Psycho-physical advantages
Weight loss (slimming and reshaping the body);
Anti-cellulite through the promotion of the of
the blood flow to the problem areas;
Doubling of blood circulation after training
resulting in the body carrying off waste products much faster
thereby enhancing recovery;
Significant hormonal effects from training
(increased testosterone and growth hormone and decreased
cortisol 'stress hormone');
Enhances skin and tissue elasticity;
Increase of peripheral microcirculation;
Toning muscles and enhancement of lymphatic
Body remodelling;
Muscle strengthening;
Total disengagement of the cardio-circulatory
Prevention of osteoporosis through the
maintenance of flexibility in the bones. (Better bone density);
Prevention of venous afflictions of chronic
blood insufficiency to the heart, paralyses and atrophy;
Rehabilitation in case of sport injuries as may
be needed to injuries associated to the Achilles' tendon or knee
Anti-stress and relaxation;
Enhancement of space and time perception;
Superior sports training to enhance explosive
power and flexibility associated to the Achilles' tendon or knee
If we want to
achieve these types of results then exercise has to involve more
than walking, running or biking. Weight training is the answer, but
is it for everyone?
Everyone can benefit from it but not everyone is able to do it. The
Crazy Fit Machine system was specifically designed to address these
problems and more, making it the ultimate solution in your weight
loss goals.
The Crazy Fit Machine system stands upright on a base which
incorporates a moveable plate that the user must stand on and select
the program level that he/she would like to do. Operating smoothly
and without provoking alteration to the heartbeat or promoting
muscular fatigue, the footplate oscillates at increased levels to
enhance and stimulate blood flow and tone the muscle. The system is
very simple to use, simply select the program of your choice and
stand of the footboard. The safe and effective approach.
Question: What do the
following have in common?
- Arthritis
- Back pain
- Osteoporosis
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Poor circulation
- Sports injuries rehabilitation
- Multiple sclerosis
- Stroke
- Cerebral palsy
- Frozen shoulder
- Fibromyalgia
- Post injury / post rehabilitation
Exercise has been recommended as beneficial for people with these
Whatever the condition or goals the Crazy Fit Machine system has
been shown to produce similar results to regular exercise in less
time, while providing minimal stress on the joints, ligaments and
tendons. The Crazy Fit Machine system is the ideal solution for
those that can't handle the stress of conventional training or lack
the time. The Crazy Fit Machine system's effect on muscle, bone and
blood vessels makes it a safe and effective exercise alternative, or
an effective complement to a regular training program to accelerate
and enhance your results.
How does it work?
The movement of the vibration plate simulates the body's natural
'stretch reflex' [tonic vibration reflex]. This is similar to the
knee jerk reaction that occurs when the knee is tapped by a reflex
hammer in a doctors office without thinking of it, your body
responds with a strong involuntary muscle contraction leading to
your leg 'kicking' out. With the Crazy Fit Machine technology these
strong muscle contractions can be repeated at a rapid rate. Due to
the involuntary effect on muscle contraction, nearly 100% of the
muscle fibres are recruited. Compare this to conventional training
where there is only on average 40% muscle recruitment. This benefits
the rehabilitation patient looking to add stability and strength to
all muscles around their joints, to the athlete looking to maximise
strength gains.
The gentle rapid contractions allow the muscle to work as a pump in
introducing blood to even the smallest blood vessels. This leads to
the ability of the body to carry off waste products much faster,
leading to increased peripheral circulation.
What is the age limit to Crazy Fit
Machine massage?
There is NO upper age limit. We recommend following general
guidelines on resistance training for adolescents. Taking this into
consideration we recommend an age limit from 12 years onwards.
Are there any
Whole body vibration has already been used quite extensively and
there have been no significant side effects or injuries noted. In
essence the Crazy Fit Machine system is as safe as conventional
resistance training.
Ageing and the Crazy Fit
Machine massage exercise:
Improvement in chair rising test, indicative of improvement in
muscle power.
Improve elements of fall risk and health – related quality of life
Ability to promote ambulatory competence [ improved walking] in
elderly woman
Beneficial for balance and mobility in nursing home residents with
limited functional dependency
The following is a list of contraindications that must be kept in
mind prior to an individual starting to exercise on the Crazy Fit
Machine system:
- Acute inflammations
- Acute joint disorders
- Acute rheumatoid arthritis
- Serious cardiovascular diseases
- Fresh surgery wound
- Recent joint implants
- Heart valve disorders
- Pregnancy
- Epilepsy
- Recent thrombosis
- Tumours
Specifications of the machine:
- Maximum power: 1500W
- 50 levels of intensity (our 50 speed is equivalent to other 100
speed machines)
- Maximum user weight: 200 kgs
- Dimensions: 840 x 710 x 1,180mm

"asset" such as the Crazy Fit massage machine as there are a variety on
the market, yet they all look the same!!!

THE key reason why the "true" cost to communicate in South Africa remained high was because of lack of competition, Cell C CEO Alan Knott-Craig said on Friday.
Parliament held public hearings on communication costs in South Africa on Thursday and Friday, with major players in the mobile sector all making submissions. South Africa still has some of the highest mobile charges in Africa. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) ranked the country 33rd for the cheapest product offered by the dominant operator, and 19th for the cheapest product in the country.
"The cost to communicate should not be based on promotions... for real impact, (we should) only consider where underlying demand exists. Giving cheap free stuff such as weekend specials, zone and night shift creates more traffic, some revenue and is fun for customers but does little for the real cost to communicate," Mr Knott-Craig said in his submission to members of Parliament's communications portfolio committee.
He said in order to boost competition in the sector, there needed to be active policy and regulatory interventions.
The mobile sector in South Africa is largely dominated by Vodacom and MTN. The department of communications told MPs on Thursday that the two mobile giants were most resistant to passing on to consumers the mobile termination rates price reductions and were mainly responsible for the high mobile voice prices. It said that despite the introduction of the call termination regulations, mobile retail prices were still relatively high. Call termination regulations were introduced in 2010 and a "glide path" that would see mobile termination rates slashed to R0.40 in March next year was unveiled.
According to the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa), the price of prepaid mobile voice calls has dropped 24%, from R1.37 to R1.04, over the past two years as a result of amendments to call termination rate regulations. Termination rates are fees operators pay each other for customers to make calls across networks. The Department of Communications said it was mulling imposing a flat rate on mobile voice calls in South Africa.
Mr Knott-Craig told MPs that small operators needed low termination rates to compete, but lower rates meant lower revenue and further reduced margins.
"Although the small operators need low mobile termination rates, this change in itself may destroy them," he said.
In his presentation to MPs Friday, MTN CEO Karel Pienaar said the mobile operator had been actively reducing call rates over the last three years. He said an average "MTN Zone" customer now pays less than 99c per minute to make a voice call. Mr Pienaar said South Africa may not have the lowest mobile price per minute in the world, but "we compare very favourably with peer countries in low usage category where majority of mobile subscriber base is located in LSM 1 to 4".

Barnt Green title hopes fade
Barnt Green's grip on the Trophy they won in 2011 was loosened further when they slumped to a 65 run defeat to current Premier Division leaders Walsall and now they face a massive task to stay in the title race.
Batting first, after losing the toss for only the second time this season, Walsall made their customary blistering start as Jack Manuel (31) and Christiaan Jonker (28) blasted them to 50 in the eighth over.
When these two were dismissed, the game reverted to a more sedate pace as Alex McChristie (29) and Paul Byrne (20) saw them to 170 all out in 54.2 overs.
The wickets for Barnt Green were shared between Stephen Bevan (3-34), Andy Sutton (3-37), Richard Wilkinson (2-24) and Dougie Brown (2-36).
After tea, some magnificently straight seam bowling by former Cannock teenager Josh Bowker, who took the first four wickets, reduced Barnt Green to 35 for five before Brown (19) and Adam Smith (20 not out) affected a partial improvement to 105 all out.
The last wicket partnership of 23 was the highest of the innings while Bowker, who boosted his claims for inclusion in the Staffordshire side, finished with 5-26 in nine overs.
Barnt Green, who have conceded tomorrow's Graham Williamson Trophy Semi-Final to Shrewsbury will now, switch their attention to next weekend's Kingfisher Cup Quarter-Final tie when they hope their fortunes will improve after a disappointing weekend.
Fellow Kingfisher Cup Quarter-Finalists Kidderminster Victoria enjoyed a much better day, cantering to a six wicket success over second in the table Berkswell who trail the leaders by 25 points following this defeat.
Former Warwickshire batsman Dominic Ostler scored 30 and current County all-rounder Tom Milnes hit 24 but Berkswell slipped to 119 all out with one ball remaining in their innings which was restricted to 50 overs, due to a late start.
Steady batting from Ben Cox (38), Zac Turley (28 not out), Andy Kimberlin (23) and Neil Pinner (21) eased Kidderminster to victory after they lost their first wicket without any runs on the board.
Himley drew level with Berkswell on 165 points with a routine seven wicket win over bottom of the table Wellington.
Ashfak Hussain took 4-25 before Rajat Bhatia (46 not out) and Greg Wright (34) maintained Himley's position as the side most likely to challenge Walsall for the title.
Wolverhampton will also fancy their title chances despite being held to a winning draw by Knowle & Dorridge who continue to confound the predictions of those pundits who believed that they would be challengers for the much prized Championship trophy.
Worcestershire youngster Tom Fell hit an unbeaten 115 and skipper Dan Bowyer added 40 in an impressive total of 235 for five, for Wolverhampton, before K & D meandered to 170 for six in response.
Staffordshire all-rounder Attiq Chishti, not for the first time, this season, held the fort for the visitors with an unbeaten 78.
By far the biggest total of the day came at Sandwell Park, where West Bromwich Dartmouth smashed their way to 301 for five, in 55 overs, after being invited to bat first by Brockhampton.
Staffordshire openers James Campbell (70) and Kadeer Ali (127 not out) put on 127 for the first wicket before Ali and Navdeep Poonia (74) added 119 for the third wicket.
Herefordshire skipper Chris Boroughs conceded 109 runs in 11 overs. In reply, Adam Hewlett (56) and Ben Stubbings (20) opened up with 75 but the chase became too difficult despite 51 from Herefordshire's David Exall and 31 from Wiltshire's Henry Langford. Aatif Ali (4-51) took four wickets for 9 runs in his second spell for Dartmouth as Brockhampton finished on 207 for eight.
An extraordinary feature of the Dartmouth innings was the total in the extras column – nil! Dartmouth's recent form has seen them move away from danger at the foot of the table and Shrewsbury's six wicket victory over Leamington Spa has made them more comfortable, as well as increasing the pressure on their victims and their local rivals Wellington.
Warwickshire Academy batsman Mark Best hit five boundaries in a patient 35 for Leamington but the Spa side's decision to bat first backfired as Rob Foster took a League best 6-20 to reduce them to 114 all out.
After the loss of four wickets for 64, Shrewsbury were steered to victory by Overseas Player Ryan Bishop (52 not out) and Shropshire's Tom Cox (27 not out). Warwickshire all-rounder Paul Best took all four wickets at a cost of 37.

I have visted my ggggg grandfathers (Robert Morgan Roberts) grave in the Stevenson Cemetery, Sugar Grove (Greenville) Pa twice in the past year. I still wounder what happen to him after the Maryland regement was almost wiped out due to poor leadership/and or by poor planning. Everything I have read indicates Robert Morgan was at Valley Forge after the Battle of Brandywine. Howeve, when I went to Valley Forge this summer (2005) I checked to see if his name was on the roster for Valley Forge that cold and wet winter of 1777 - 1778. He was not listed as serving at Valley Forge. In a book written about his son Bishop Robert Richford Roberts it talks about how his father would tell him and his borther and sisters stores about the battle of Brandywine, being at Valley Forge under Lafayette, and Geroge Washington. There are two publicaton where this is mentioned, Frontier Bishop written about his son and Frontier Woman written about his daughter Nancy Roberts McGramahan. In both publication it talks about Robert Morgan Roberts being at Valley Forge. I would love to be able to clear this up. If anyone has any ideas bleas advise.

The foundation is preparing a celebration of the "March to Yorktown" on the 225th anniversary of the march in September of 2006. We are looking for a guest speaker for our celebration.

Having several Militia and Minutemen in our family and being intimately familiar with their journals, the premise of this article is mis-leading. Several militia left their towns to muster when called by their country to serve far from home. Additionally, Minutemen were unorganized armed rebels. Source documents would serve well to support the premise of this article which makes a sweeping assertion but lacks footnotes.

I am doing a report for class and I need information for my report and this site was and is very useful. I am in an enriched group so we need this project for about half of my grade and in this we will be making a book about Bartlett and we will be giving copies to my school and hopefully the mayor of Bartlett. If i am able to it would be nice if I could give others a book m class has made. My job for this is to be one of the four photographers and I am a researcher in the historic buildings and homes of Bartlett. If you have any information that might help me with my project please email me at email@example.com you for your information I will gladly use it and put your website and where I got it so people will be even more interested. Thank you again for this information and your time. Laurie

We recently drove through the battlefield and walked around the Gideon Gilpin House where Lafayette stayed. In your brochure there is NO mention of the magnificent tree near the house. In walking under the tree, we did come across a small marker explaining the tree and how old it was and the type of tree. I cannot believe the tree is not mentioned in your brochure! The size and age of the tree were most impressive to us! I am sure most visitors would be very impressed. Just a suggestion for the brochure

I have an ancestor who was in the battle there at Brandywine Creek. He was captured 11 september 1777 and released 17 dec 1780. His name was Andrew Thompson. He waw born in Ireland. Would you be able to tell me of some resorces to investigate to find out more about him? He served in Col. Olive Spencer's Regiment of the Continental Troops. He eventually settled in Southwest Virginia.
Brenda Repass Finch [06-03-2005]
My knowledge of this battle is rather scant. Unfortunately I cannot offer much in regards to hard information. One aspect of the battle that I am familiar with however is the involvement of the 71st regiment of foot. This regiment on the British side was equipped with the Ferguson rifle. The "Ferguson" rifle as to my understanding was the first weapon of it's kind used during the American Revolution. It was a Breech loading rifle that was able to be fired much quicker than the conventional muskets used at that time. I will provide more info on this as time and questions concerning this subject permit.

My wife had a Revolutionary Vet who fought in the Battle of Guilford's Court House, N. Carolina. I have info that indicates two brothers named Moseby and William Childers were in the Battle of Brandywine. Moseby was killed and William was captured and never heard from again. It may be that my wife's ancestor, Pleasant Childers of Virginia, was another brother. I have obtained a veterans bronze grave marker for Pvt Childers and plan to set it near his grave this July 4th in Pikeville, Kentucky Any information about the Childers brothers would be GREATLY appreciated. Respectfully, Bill Sands Sebastian, Florida I haven't confirmed as yet thay may be brother to Pleasant Childers of around Charolettville, Virginia. I have obained a bronze veterans plack for Pleasant Childers and have plans to set the plack near his grave in Pikeville, Kentucky this July 4th 2005. If you have any information on these two brothers I would love to obtain it. Respectfully and Thanks in advance for your help. Bill Sands Sebastian, Florida

Both the 49th and the 62nd Regiments were involved in the American War of Independence. For the 49th it included its first major action. The Regiment took part in the occupation of Philadelphia in 1777 and the battle at nearby Brandywine Creek. The 49th's Light Company, which was attached to the 2nd Battalion Light Infantry, made a night attack with the bayonet under cover of a rain storm. A force of 1500 Americans encamped in a wood were taken completely by surprise, some 300 being killed or wounded with minor loss to the 49th. Humiliated, the Americans accused the British of killing the wounded, a charge proved to be totally unfounded, and vowed to give no quarter to the units involved when they met in later battles. The Light companies reacted to this threat by dyeing their distinguishing green feathers red so that they should be easily recognised. This action continued to be commemorated by the wearing of the red Brandywine Flash behind the cap badge by the Royal Berkshire Regiment, the Duke of Edinburgh's Royal Regiment and now by the Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment. The 62nd Regiment acted as Light Infantry and were involved in the advance from Canada into the rebel New England colonies under General Burgoyne. They won great praise for their steadfastness and fortitude in a number of actions and at Saratoga, where they earned the nickname "The Springers".

I'm a descendant of Clothier-General John Moylan. Although he was not at Brandywine. I often visit the battlefield and I live a few miles north in Downingtown. John Moylan returned to Ireland after the Rev War. His son David and his wife came to United States and lived in northern Pennsylvania around 1815. John Moylan had two step brothers. One brother was Stephen Moylan who served in the Continental Army and another brother Jasper who served in the 1st City Troop. There are many descendants of the Moylan brothers living in the Philadelphia area. Stephen was married to a Loyalist (I don't know how that was able to happen. He and his wife had daughters only. Jasper was a lawyer and lived in Philadelphia. Another brother remained in Ireland and was a Bishop in the Catholic Church. The Moylan brothers were all born in Cork, Ireland. Their father was narried I believe three times. As each wife passed away, he would remarry. Thought it would be nice to share this information.

The Revolutionary war is losing importance to Americans. Our schools shame our history with the way they teach children about it. Attendance at historic sites including Williamsburg is way down. We are reaping what we have sown by letting those who hate America teach their lies to our children without challenge. Generations are growing up with contempt or ambivilence for their country.

I don't know if anybody looks at these remarks but I guess I'll still covay my feelings about Brandywine. . My wife and I go all over the east coast to battlefields. Mainly civil war but we have also been to at 3 other revolutionay war battlefields that I can think of at this moment.I just wanted to say that I was disappointed with the Brandywine battlefield. My problem is that I don't know about other people but I like to visualize the battle looking at the terrain with the help of those battlefield markers [for the lack of a better word]that says you are here, off to your left over that hill the redcoats marched etc. etc.I hope everybody knows want I am talking about. The Brandywine battlefield had none of those. All there was was two old houses and some rolling hills. Even though we saw the movie, you didn't get the feeling that when we walked out of the door of the visitors center there ever was a horrfic battle there on the grounds.I can only hope that in the future there might be some of these markers because My wfe and I both love the area and will surely be back.

When General Pulaski joined General George Washingtons staff, he immediately made important contributions to the war effort. He led a critical counterattack at the Battle of Brandywine that avoided a potential military disaster, earning him a commission as a Brigadier General. American leaders valued Pulaskis experience in battle, his knowledge of military strategy, and his pioneering efforts that led to a recognition that he was the Father of the American cavalry. While leading cavalry forces in the Siege of Savannah, Pulaski was wounded, and died on October 11, 1779.

Back when I was deciding on what bonuses to give away with the Investment Banking Networking Toolkit, I was stuck.
I had been so busy creating new videos and products that I didn't have anything new to give away beyond what was already available.
So I had the idea to give away a few free networking consulting sessions.
The only problem: I couldn't give away that many, so I decided to limit it to 5 and make it random.
But not completely random – anyone who emailed me would have a higher chance of winning.
Subtle Clues
Rather than making a big announcement "FREE CONSULTING RIGHT HERE SAVE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS!" I want to make it more subtle for two reasons:
- Giving away free, random copies of the new interview guide was fine, because it wouldn't take up my personal time – but there's no way I could have done 20-30 of these free consulting sessions.
- I wanted to speak with the readers who were the most serious and who had specific, actionable questions developed from actually playing the field.
So I just put a quick note about it in the course outline.
Kevin actually thought this was a bad idea and figured that dozens of people would reply. I bet that the response would be much lower than that.
The Results
So, guess how many of those who signed up for the Networking course actually emailed me to win one of the 5 free consultations?
Some of them had fantastic, 3-page long stories while others just wrote a few quick sentences.
But since only 5 readers emailed me, each one of them won one of the free sessions.
If you had sent me a 1-sentence email in broken English, you would have had an 83% chance of winning a free consultation.
There were no rules about how much you had to say, how detailed your story had to be, or even that you had to have a good reason to speak with me.
I'm sure there were plenty of reasons that the hundreds of other readers who signed up in the first week didn't bother to email me: they were too busy, they were scared to talk to me, or maybe they didn't have any burning questions that needed answering.
But I would bet that most of it came down to something simple: they overestimated the competition and believed that their chances of winning would be 0% since this site has thousands of readers.
But actually, their chances were more like 83%.
But It's Not Just This Bonus
Let's forget about this specific case for now, because this phenomenon goes way beyond this site.
Remember that free trip around the world you missed out on at Princeton because you also overestimated the competition there?
And here's one of my most common questions:
"At a career fair, how many people actually contact you afterward once you give out your business card?"
One… two… three.
In several years of going to career fairs and information sessions at some of the "top" schools in the US (Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA), I can count on a single hand the number of students who actually followed up with me afterward.
And that number is out of hundreds of business card giveaways, so the follow-up percentage was less than 1%.
Behind the Closed Doors of Recruiting
I've written before about how random the interview selection process is – but here's a quick reminder in case you've forgotten how it works:
- 75% of interviewees will be selected because one of the Analysts or Associates reviewing resumes knows them from school or elsewhere.
- 25% of the rest have impressive resumes or accomplishments and happen to catch someone's attention.
It's like rushing a frat or sorority, except you have more control because fewer than 100% are picked based on who likes whom.
When picking who gets interviews and who doesn't, a lot of conversations go like this:
"Analyst 1: Do you know him?
Analyst 2: Yeah, he was in my frat / in my section / in my club. He's pretty cool.
Analyst 1: Ok, let's give him an interview."
"Analyst 1: What about her?
Analyst 2: Don't know her, but she contacted me last week and emailed me a few questions.
Analyst 1: Ok, interview her?
Analyst 2: Yeah, might as well – it took some effort to do that and no one else contacted me."
So yes, it's better if you know the person reviewing resumes beforehand – but that's not the point here.
The point is that if you do something as simple as emailing someone a few questions you can often make up for not knowing them or not having spectacular accomplishments.
If It's So Easy, Why Don't More People Do It?
Because it's easy to stay in your "comfort zone" and continue to overestimate the competition, despite all the evidence that "the competition" sucks and that you're better off being less comfortable.
I travel alone 99% of the time because it forces me to meet new people and make it up when I get there. Sure, it could suck… and sometimes it does. Sure, things could go wrong… and sometimes they do. But lots of cool stuff also happens that I would never see if I traveled with a group of 10 friends arguing about who has the best car or who has the most prestigious job.
And it's the same with recruiting: something bad could always happen. You might offend someone. Maybe you'll sound silly when you call or email them.
But most of the time there is close to 0 risk and unlimited upside.
Fear-Setting and Worst-Case Scenarios
Let's say you meet someone at an information session and then you follow-up afterward but aren't quite sure what to say.
What is the absolute worst thing that could happen?
You'll look silly in front of the person and she may say, "Let's not give him/her an interview, he/she made a huge mistake in this email."
Unless you do something horrifically stupid – like forging emails, making up offers, or otherwise explicitly lying – there's no way a simple networking email will get forwarded to other banks. You're not that interesting.
And you know what? Even if you do say something silly in your email, it won't necessarily hurt you. They don't expect everyone to be a networking pro.
If they receive emails from no one else (extremely likely), then you'll actually be ahead of everyone even if you screwed up.
Best-Case Outcome
You ask a few good questions and get considered for an interview simply because no one else did anything.
So the worst-case scenario might slightly hurt your chances at one firm, while the best-case outcome would almost certainly get you an interview there.
Mediocrity = Excellence
This is not just limited to finance or the job-search process, either.
Just go to a bar or a party and observe what everyone else does: 99% of people go in groups, stick to their friends the whole time, and only meet others if they get introduced.
Merely by approaching someone you don't know and saying "Hello," you're already in the top 1%.
I get questions all the time from friends – "Wait, how did you get into that cool adventure? How did you meet that person? Why is your life so interesting and mine so boring?"
It has nothing to do with super-advanced ninja tactics: just by doing something simple (saying "hi" to new people) I put myself in situations where good things can happen.
Most of the time, mediocrity is enough to put you in the top 1%:
- 90% of prospective bankers will never take any action whatsoever beyond "applying online" (hint: your resume just goes into a bottomless pit).
- Of the remaining 10%, 90% of those will contact someone once and then give up if they don't get an immediate reply.
- So as a result, exactly 1% get to the top – not by being extraordinary, gifted, or talented, but merely because they were ok at something and kept trying whereas everyone else never took action or gave up after trying once.
Oh, and if you don't believe me, just look at dating on Craigslist.
So What Do You Do Now?
Think about all your avenues into recruiting, all the people you've met, and find what you're most afraid of. Find the one, two, or three people whom you're certain receive floods of inbound inquiries every day and will just ignore or laugh at you.
And then contact them anyway.
If you don't do it, who will? "The competition"?
Nope. No one.
So it's yours to lose.
Oh, and if I offer up any free prizes / consulting here again, I expect a lot more contest entries next time.

After rolling out an attack ad last month -- crashing a wedding of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) and Samsung fans -- Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) is throwing another punch.
The software giant's new television commercial ruthlessly attacks Apple's iPad.
A side-by-side comparison of an iPad with a Windows 8-powered ASUS VivoTab Smart tablet is peppered with a voiceover narrative mimicking Siri, Apple's digital assistant.
"Sorry, I don't update like that," Siri says, highlighting Apple's lack of automatic app updates -- something that even Senator John McCain called out in questioning Apple CEO Tim Cook earlier this week.
The ad then goes on to take the iPad to task for its inability to multitask with a split screen while watching a video. Then comes the rub about the iPad being unable to run Microsoft's PowerPoint.
"Should we just play Chopsticks?" Siri concludes with someone clumsily playing a virtual piano on the iPad.
It's always been socially acceptable to roll out attack ads if you're the underdog, and Microsoft certainly qualifies in the tablet space. Apple had no problem kicking Mr. Softy when the world's largest software company was down, rolling out the "I'm a Mac" ads that repeatedly trashed Windows Vista.
The unique thing about Microsoft's strategy is that it isn't gunning for just one particular product. April's ad skewered the iPhone cult, hoping to make a name for its partnership with Nokia (NYSE: NOK ) in putting out Lumia smartphones.
Now Microsoft is taking aim at the iPad.
The Nokia Lumia ad was more about style than substance. It didn't really sell the Lumia as much as it put down the iSheep and CopyBots carrying around iPhone and Samsung mobile products. There was no breakdown of Lumia-specific features that would woo a potential buyer to Nokia's handset. This time the spot is spelling out specific reasons why a Windows 8 tablet is the better choice.
The effectiveness of Microsoft's attack ads remain to be seen. Clearly Microsoft sees Apple as vulnerable -- something that investors have realized since the consumer tech giant's stock peaked when the iPhone 5 hit the market. Will the market begin to attach negative feelings to Apple products, or will viewers interpret the ad as more sour grapes on Microsoft's behalf for missing out on the smartphone and tablet revolutions?
Either way, it's good to at least see Microsoft hungry and attacking. Complacency isn't a good look on an underdog.

The Colts have re-signed quarterback Peyton Manning to a long-term deal that could keep him in Indianapolis for the rest of his career.
Colts owner Jim Irsay said Saturday he was "thrilled" to sign the only four-time MVP in league history. Details of the contract were not disclosed, but ESPN described it as a five-year, $90 million deal, which at $18 million per year matches New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's contract as the highest in the NFL.
"Signing Peyton was a top priority for this organization and we are thrilled that the deal is complete," Irsay said in a statement.

Recently I took a ride with a county officer to a lovely country home with a large fenced area off the back. The place was immaculate.
As we pulled in the drive, we were greeted by an older dog, a big plump female with a graying muzzle. Then a couple of more dogs approached. The announcements were going out, and, as we neared the gate, the chorus of barks grew.
The approach-avoidance dance was taken up by countless numbers of dogs, black and tan, shaggy and short coats. Some had little hair at all. The dogs with skin issues were in a pen within a pen.
There were puppies. There were mammas that looked like they had just finished nursing, or maybe still were. It looked like a huge tribe or family reunion.
There was not a whiff or remnant of dog poop anywhere, just way too many skittish dogs.
Moments later the owner and his wife pulled up in a Ford pickup that was more than 30 years old and looked like it had just been driven out of the showroom. I was greeted with a big grin and a firm handshake.
The officer I was with got a hug from the energetic octogenarian with a full head of white hair. The old man still had the build of the Marine that hed been in 1955. He cares for all those dogs because they show up, because they were there, and because that was what God expected him to do.
The ex-Marine receives $768 a month income, and he spends nearly $200 on dog food. We agreed to start by spaying the females. I had to make him take a 50-pound sack of dog food that I happened to have in my car.
This is an extreme example, but it makes a point. There are a lot of animal-loving, hardworking, servants of the Lord in our communities who need some help. PAWS (Palmetto Animal Welfare Services) averages about 40 calls a month on our SNYP (Spay/Neuter Your Pet) hotline.
People in and around Aiken County are looking to have their pets fixed or to do something about the cats that just show up at their door.
We conduct a qualifying interview. Most qualify. Some we can refer to other subsidy programs like city or county vouchers or Lennys Brigade for community cats. Most are low-income county residents who have more than one pet.
PAWS-4-SNYP pays for their surgeries at the SPCA in Aiken. For a $20 copay, the rabies vaccine and a microchip are thrown in. All the applicant has to do is make the appointment. If need be, we will transport.
One fertile cat can have three litters a year; a dog can have two. An intact male dog can sense a female in heat within a mile in any direction. You can confine them, but it will drive them nuts. If they get to go, they may die in the road. It is an itch that demands to be scratched. If you have read this far, you probably already know most of this, so let me tell you what we can offer you.
On Oct. 18, the SPCA is sponsoring its second Barkaritaville Fun-Fun-Fundraiser. One of the components of the daylong extravaganza is called The Twilight Walk.
The SPCA has agreed, again this year, to designate all funds raised by the PAWS-4-SNYP Team to our Spay/Neuter account. We are asking you, our readers and compatriots, to help us raise $10,500.
Last year, with your help and generosity, we raise just over $3,000 in a little over two weeks. This year we are bigger and better and have six weeks to work on our goal.
PAWS is a 501(c)(3) all-volunteer public charity whose mission is to assist any and all animal welfare efforts in and around Aiken County to end the unnecessary killing of impounded companion animals.
Our motto is Unwanted litter prevention and well-homed pet retention. We have three major objectives affordable and accessible spay neuter services for household pets and community cats, heartworm treatment and prevention and last-chance rescues for treatable animals.
Our vision is that Aiken County will be the first no-kill county in South Carolina. The resources are in place to achieve it. Together we can save them all.
PAWS is relying on this fundraiser to fund our SNYP surgeries through the end of this year. We cannot do it without your help. If you believe in our cause, here are some options:
1. Go to www.crowdrise.com/pawsforsnyp/fundraiser. Once there, you can simply click on DONATE and follow the impulse of your generous spirit.
2. Create your own fundraiser for the PAWS4SNYP cause and join the team. Just click THE TEAM button above the mama dogs head. There are prizes for great results. At the very least you can win your own commemorative T-shirt and a fun night out.
3. Send us a check made out to PAWS4SNYP and put twilight walk in the For line. Send it to P.O. Box 392, Aiken, SC 29802 and we will enter your donation for you.
4. Go to our website www.paws4nokill.org and hit the SNYP donate button. That will put you into Paypal and you can write Twilight Walk in you comment. We will submit your donation for you.
The Aiken SPCA has shown wonderful support for PAWS efforts to provide affordable, accessible spay/neuter services to every household with pets in Aiken County.
We are proud to support their best efforts on behalf of animal welfare in our county and beyond. As the big event approaches, they and PAWS will be bringing you more information and incentives to get involved. For more information, visit www.letlovelive.org and find Barkaritaville and the Twilight Walk.
Do you know how you can save 100 dogs or 100 cats? Spay one. Please join us. You wont regret it. There are a lot of people and animals counting on our help all over Aiken County.

Yuna is female Lysacek? Well, yeah, in the sense that his hardest 3-3 is the same as hers, and his hardest 3A combination was something Mao Asada could do.
(Sorry, I probably shouldn't reply, but this is too hilarious).
Correction: none of the jumps (no matter if it's a triple axel or a quad lutz) will be relevant if someone attempts and/or lands them if they don't *win* competitions with it. Otherwise why push the technical score if you're still winning on GOE?
^Agreed. I wouldn't say Brandon Mroz pushed the technical side of FS simply 'cause he did quad lutz. Whereas Yuna's 3-3 has been instrumental to pushing the 3-3 in ladies FS. I think Mao had a certain impact because of some rule changes she created, but it remains to be seen if anyone after her will attempt 3A.
I'd rather watch clean 3-3 from ladies than more sad, underrotated, and/or twofooted triple axel attempts "just because" (cough Kimmie meisner)
^I actually disagree with you there, because I feel like COP has come to reward people who land some beautiful jumps and then splat on others. I'd rather have someone skate the entire program clean even if the jumps aren't all pretty. I'd like to see people try to save wonky jumps instead of just giving it up as -GOE. This is more of a problem in the men's field than the ladies, though.
Also, post-Vancouver, GOE (Yuna's strength) became less important relative to BV (Mao's strength), though that change had to do with the men's field as well.
I think though the ability to save a jump that may have gone bad is underrated. Especially if saving a jump...slightly sloppy but landed...leads to the rest of the program being saved. It is my opinion that people tend to judge programs based on the individual jumps more often than not as opposed to how well the entire program was delivered. Sometimes I think it's alright to award more GOE as a program goes on or builds throughout. I guess I just don't think it's necassary to judge a jump always as seperate from everything else presented in the program. That may lead to people when they see the protocols and compare it to other skaters but to me at least it makes sense. At least under certain circumstances.
^That's why I personally think any jump landed "6.0 clean" (AKA fully rotated, on one foot, no touchdown with hand, no major turn-out) deserves just plain ol' 0 GOE, while any type of hand-down/step-out on a solo jump deserves automatic -3. -2 for very minor two-foots that can barely be detected. As you've stated in the past, best to be generous to combos when they're already underrewarded.
Anyway, my issues lie mainly with the men's field, which isn't the topic of the thread. The ladies, generally, don't go splat as much. Thank goodness!
