That's horrible, try taking this to the principal. It worked when my Spanish teacher did the exact same thing to me.

It depends on the situation. If it was a 2-3 page paper and the student wrote 15 pages, I would give them an F too. While talking to the principal is an option, I would first talk to the teacher. Nobody likes it when you go over their heads as your first course of action.
Tripartita | 42
You'd fail somebody for exceeding expectations instead of just giving them partial credit and writing "please shorten to required page count"? I hope you're not a teacher.

#5, nobody likes it when their effort is dismissed with TL;DR.
Brandi_Faith | 33
Sounds to me like your teacher spends too much time on the Internet (possibly this site) to just pull a TL;DR. I'd try talking to your teacher about it, and if you don't agree with what he's saying or can't see eye to eye, than definitely go to the principle. If you went over the page limit then it's kind of your fault, but the teacher should still be reading it, and marking you on the other parts, such as grammar/spelling, topic, supporting arguments, etc. His job is to teach you, which would involve reading your work, pointing out (and marking) on the good parts, and explaining what you did wrong on the bad parts. He should've explained his issues instead of just TL;DR.
MikaykayUnicorn | 36
I actually agree with #5. If the teacher assigned a set amount of words or pages and OP exceeded that, it's their fault for not listening.
chinaski7628 | 32
Most of my professors in college who would not read anything over the set page limit. If the limit was five pages and you went on to the sixth, they would stop reading and grading at the end of the fifth page—even if it was three words onto the next page. While no one likes to be dismissed with a "til;dr", teachers often have a lot of papers to grade. I usually have about 180 students a semester. That's a lot of essays to grade, and students usually want immediate feedback, not to mention detailed and helpful feedback. If even 1/3 of my students exceed the page requirements, it adds considerably to my work load (remember that I still have lessons to plan, classes to teach, and a life to live). I'd also add that most of the time when students exceed the maximum page requirement, their papers are rambling messes. Content editing is an important skill to learn. Just because an essay/story is longer does not mean it's better. So no, a teacher shouldn't still read it and correct the grammar/spelling; the student should follow assignment guidelines. I realize this might not be the case with OP, and yes, I also realize this is a long comment.
mrlawlor7777 | 26
All of this is @12: Yes, I am a professor. I teach Statistics. Your comment about exceeding expectations is asinine with what I wrote. I used an example of a 15 page paper on a 2-3 page limit. If it was 3.5 or so, I would not automatically fail them. As someone else said, often long papers are rambling messes. Being concise is a great skill. That being said, his teacher was still a jerk for writing tl;dr. Lastly, I leave you with a fun quip. When I started my dissertation, my advisor quoted Mark Twain, "I didn't have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long one instead."
Grisha_fml | 18
your suggestion is a very short lived suggestion, because the teacher will be anal retentive with everything else after this.
teentee401 | 36
I know some of my English teachers tell us that if we blatantly go over the limit it's a zero because we should be following directions.
Queen_of_Night | 20
Teachers are all different. My English teachers would automatically fail a paper if the words "really", "very", or "a lot" were used anywhere other than a quote or source. On the other hand, I had a 2100 word short story assigned and I was already 2000+ words over, my TA said that I need at least 3 more pages. If he was informed of a word count limit and he would fail if he went too far over it, then that's his fault. If there was not word count/page count I would take it to the principal.
MikaykayUnicorn | 36
That's not normally how it works, 21. I have had many teachers tell us if we exceed the limit they will just give us an F without reading it. It's OP'S fault if they exceeded a set limit.
No, they shouldn't. Check your rubric and see what the requirements are. That's what you should be graded on.
By Anonymous8297 | 5
Ouch, cannot stand lazy teachers. Take this to the principal and have it worked out. You should not have to pay because your teacher is lazy.
Can't stand lazy students either. Speak with the teacher and get their explanation. Redo and meet requirements.
KobeLebroJordan | 17
You don't even know the requirements dipshit. How do you even know if he's being lazy?
Xamry14 | 10
What if there were no clear boundaries on how many pages/words it was supposed to be? Even if there was I don't think doing more work than what was required means the student is lazy. Disregarding of the rules? Yeah. But I think you need to look up the definition of the word lazy. You clearly have no idea what it actually means.
By ccameron12 | 21
That's awful what a lazy teacher. Try and take it to someone like the principal so they can get you the mark you deserve
By RageWolf16 | 31
If I were a teacher I'd be thrilled to see a student writing more than I expected. Get lazy educators out of our system please
scyth3s | 13
A long paper doesn't necessarily mean not lazy. My writing tends to be pretty top notch, and is almost always shorter than the requirements. An overly long paper can mean you didn't properly plan/think through what you wanted to say, and instead compensated by adding lots of fluff.
1gullible_bugger | 19
Being lazy has nothing to do with it. I am a teacher, and I've done it too. When you have 30 papers to grade, you have to expect students to follow directions and stick to the page limits. Not the teachers fault unless it was a small class and no page limit. Wet don't have that information. Just another student blaming the teacher.
"If I were a teacher." But you're not. If someone made their McDonalds order too long and complex, you'd be writing your own FML right now.

KayleeFrye | 38
You are not an educator, so don't call an educator lazy without more than this to back it up. I don't know what YOUR job is, but I would not tell you how to do it. If there are specific directions on how long a response should be, then students need to follow directions. When you have 35 papers to correct and a student tacks on 5 extra (most likely unnecessary) pages, they deserve to lose credit. If the teacher didn't give a limit, then they were definitely in the wrong, but that doesn't give YOU the right to tell someone how to do their job and/or call them names when you know next to nothing about their job.
chinaski7628 | 32
If it didn't follow the assignment requirements/guidelines, then he certainly can. Teachers assign minimum and maximum page requirements for many reasons: 1. They know how long it should take for students to convey ideas/information 2. Page limits help students to condense ideas (after all, brevity *is* the soul of wit) 3. Teachers like to be able to give detailed, useful feedback to students. This is not possible if students turn in a novel and want feedback and a grade within a week.
KayleeFrye | 38
He can if there was a word/page limit. We don't know enough about the situation, i wish the OP had included whether there was a limit or not. That would make a world of difference between hitting FYL or YDI.
By TheCurvyGamer | 17
My teacher used to say an essay should be like a woman's skirt. Long enough to cover the subject, short enough to keep it interesting. Work on that!
Today, I casually mentioned to my mom that my boyfriend of two years and I were thinking about moving in together. She looked me dead in the eye and said if I ever moved out, she'd throw me out of the house. I'm confused. FML

World of Warcraft
Rofls, Failboat, Noob
So I was doing a bit of questing in Duskwood, levelling up a 25ish pally when I came across probably the biggest dictionary-definition n00b I have ever met!
Heading along the main road in to Darkshire I saw what looked like a warrior coming the other way. Nothing strange there, but he happened to be dressed from head to toe in starter kit. From the recruit's pants and braces, right through to the stupid letter-opener sword and buckler shield you get given when you start the game.
I checked him out, yup he was level 2… and wandering around in a level 25-30 zone. This piqued my curiosity so I decided to stop him and find out what he was doing.
It was ages ago and I can't remember the whole conversation word for word but it goes something like this:
Me: Hey man, I gotta ask, what are you up to?
<the dude stops and looks at me, but no response>
…ok I'll try again
Me: Just wondering what you're up to man, odd to see a lowbie in this zone
<same deal, looking but no talking…>
..lol maybe this guys is more of a noob than I thought
Me: :-| you type /say to talk
<another wait>
Noob: hello
Me: Ahh there we go! Hey man, I was just wondering what you're doing in duskwood?
Noob: I'm playing warcraft!
Me: Yup, you sure are. What I mean though is how come you're here man this zone is too high for you!
Noob: I am doing a quest!
..here follows a lengthy conversation where I try to get out of him what quest he's on. Unsurprisingly it turn out he doesn't know how to link quests, or open his log, and he can't really remember what he's supposed to be doing, but after a while I manage to piece together what's been going on: Basically he got the first quest in Northshire Abby, got turned round trying to find the wolves (which are right next to the dude you get the quest off) and just carried on going!
This took him on a journey out of Northshire, down the road through Goldshire, (at which point he took a left), then all the way along the road through Elwynn Forest, past the Logging camp and in to Redridge. At this point he'd spun himself round and headed down the path in to Duskwood. All in all he'd spent a good half hour on the road without once twigging that he was going the wrong way!
Ok so now I had this established I thought I'd help him out a bit…
Me: Ok dude, I gotta say you're in the wrong place. You need to turn around and go all the way back you came. Stick to the road and you'll be alright.
Noob: No I want to do my quest
Me: Lol your quest is all the way back there - you took a wrong turn man, you can't do it here.
Noob: Ok I'll kill things here then
Me: That's what I'm trying to explain man, you really won't kill things here - they're all much higher level than you.
Me: at you're level you'll have a massive aggro radius, as soon as you walk off the path you'll be pulling mobs like a meat magnet.
<more silence, I'm imagining a confused look on the guy's face>
..ok I'll go again
Me: Put it this way man, everything around here is much stronger than you. If you get in to a fight you'll get your ass kicked!
Noob: But I am a warrior!
…bah, I weighed up explaining how levels work and so forth, but seeing as I had things to do this Millenium I couldn't be assed. So instead:
Me: Look dude I'll show you what I mean
<I challenged him to a duel>
Noob: You want to fight me. You're nasty.
At which point he turned round and wandered off… He got about five steps when a Wolf charged at him from just off the track and gobbled him up in about two bites.
I then headed and got back to questing. About half an hour later I passed the same spot, corpse still there, an hour later, corpse still there, some time after that, corpse about 100m up the road with an angry looking Worgen stood over it.
And on it went, for the rest of the day I kept coming across his corpse in slightly different places in Duskwood until eventually he disappeared completely.
Did he make it back to Northshire? Did he ever get out of Duskwood, did he just log off and never play WoW again? I guess I'll never know...

Freemasonry Secret Society The Controversies Surrounding This Organization
Freemasonry has been participating in influence the world - in fact, fairy-tale freemasons are presidents of countries, game ministers, kings, ultimate flatter justices, senators, warring leaders, township leaders, authors, businesspersons, sports heroes and even actors and celebrities.
The freemasonry is actually a fraternity of men that has been grant the same as the 16th and 17th centuries and has continued to survive in the modern mature.
Behind members of the freemasonry secretive ethnicity across all because of the world, it is besides one of the major and oldest fraternities of men. Right from the start, the sound has besides been exclusive to men. Other than this transnational organization's basic thinking are specified to the mess, a mixture of of their goings-on, rituals and meetings are alleged in secret, hence systematically labeled as a secret ethnicity.
Members of the sound subdue would fight about their the same as a secretive ethnicity they limit subdue described the sound as an sound with secrets or an esoteric one.
Aside from the organization's stealth, give to are besides a lot of controversies and summit about their days. Even from the centuries ago, a mixture of speculations limit aroused from the days of such a freemasonry secretive ethnicity. From the architectural symbols that they use for their sound to their real fill in, these limit never escapee from popular uncommonness.
Behind the basic that a instance have to limit a belief in a ultimate the same as, in which the definition depends on the interpretation of the rank, the sound besides never escapee of the allegations of the same as a cult. The Roman Catholic church has besides been scary and prohibiting its members to be members of the freemasonry, in fact, the church in the 18th century has proscription Roman Catholics to be members of freemasonry criticizing that the theoretical secret ethnicity is advocating deism.
In attendance are besides a summit about some rituals of this understood secretive ethnicity as opposed to Catholicism, other than this was not accepted.
Uncommon thing that prepared the sound on the sleepless eye of the world is that a mixture of of its members holds high positions in the shape, other than it has been theoretical that consideration following in concept are not sanctioned in their Masonic lodge. Aside from having freemasons that game ministers, and top shape officials, they besides limit Terrific Pursue justices, warring officials, even celebrities and sports heroes. Behind this, the common direct of the sound has besides been in the questioning eyes of the mess.
The conglomerate of persecution was besides not vanished too small to see. The freemasonry secretive ethnicity does not allow women membership and this has been criticized far off.
In spite of the a mixture of controversies that has stalked them even in the initial time of their days, the fraternity has remained noticeable in goodhearted person missions and in their township goings-on. And even bit some of their slight secrets limit been divulged by population, previous members, following and devoted groups and anti-freemasonry organizations and societies, their days has unendingly carried an air of mystery enormously for example it concerns their real fill in and goals.

Runs in the family
|James 125
Seeing me squint in confusion at the mention of a James 125, Paul explains that his first bike was "an ancient thing."
"A Thruxton?" her father asks.
"It's a shame you didn't keep it," Jenn says.
"Couldn't afford to," he says. "Everything always needed replacing. I spent so much money getting new parts. After that I had a Suzuki something-or-other for a while. That was the low point of my motorcycling career."
"How so?" I ask. "Did it fall apart on you?"
"No, it's just... there was nothing to it, you know?" he says with disgust. "It just went, but it had no life. No joy. No point. I couldn't stand it."
Quietly, in my head, I abandon the GSX1250FA as a potential future steed. It's never appealed to me too much, anyway. But its getting that sour look from my father-in-law almost certainly writes of Suzuki in my wife's mind. And unless you're crazy for it, why even consider a bike that won't make you look sexy in your wife's eyes?
"Well, that was the era of the UJM," I say. "Was your Honda any better?"
"It was," Paul says. "It was a good machine. Never gave up on me, 'til I rode it into a river. I'd like to do it up. It's in the back of that garage. I won't give it up. That's one of the things I'd really like to do: like to fix it up and get back on it before I get on too much in years."
"Chris would be happy to help," Jenn volunteers.
"I would," I say. "I'd love to. It's a pretty popular bike with restorers, so I'm certain it wouldn't be too hard to get parts."
"Yes, I'd like that," my father-in-law says. "Maybe. Not right at the moment –– I've got a lot on these days, you know –– but, yes, maybe..."

Steven Universe Theories Pink Diamond/Rose Quarts
Six thousand years ago Rose Quarts led the Crystal Gems against Homeworld. According to the murals found in the episode --Serious Steven-- it depicts her even going against one of the leaders of Homerworld. Pink Diamond.
Judging so far that the hierarchy of Gems in Homeworld it is related to the rareness of the gems and assuming the hierarchy possesses some level of strength attributed to the rareness of gems, the Diamonds would be great leaders and great oppenets, due partially to the fact that diamonds in real life are nearly indestructable.
Pink Diamonds exsist, they are among the rarest gems in the world, most notably the Pink Star Diamond. If you look at the Crystal Gems you will notice on each of them there is some sort of star on their "Clothing". The triangle symbol that represents the diamonds also appears sideways in the middle of Steven's shield that he summons in newer episodes. So what if Rose Quarts isnt a Quarts but Pink Diamond herself?

Lately we're not spending as much time outdoors taking outfit photos. You see, we are in the middle of a ridiculous cold snap also known as "winter". So unless I want to feature outerwear in every post (think jacket, hat, gloves at minimum), we are out and back in again in under a minute. How do we do it? Mad skills.
So here is an outfit formula that I have been wearing in one form or another consistently all fall and winter: Neutral sweater, printed scarf, skinny jeans (blue or colored) and riding boots. It's simple but it works. When it's super cold out, I like to add another layer. Today I went with my striped boatneck tee.
Fun Highlights: We have a 3 day weekend! Somehow, work on a Friday of a 3 day weekend hardly feels like work at all.
Also, we are going to a wedding on Saturday so that should be fun.
How about you? Anything fun planned for this weekend?
The Rundown: Sweater, scarf and tee – Target; olive skinnies, riding boots – Macy's
I don't know about you, but sometimes when I feel overwhelmed with problems, I feel like I'm sinking. It's easy to feel that way when I try to handle things on my own. But when I put my focus, my faith and my eyes on Jesus, Life is so much easier.
Try it!

Healthy Ageing Campus Netherlands | R&D Hotel
Sunday 15 September 2013
Recently the University of Groningen announced it made the top 100 in several prestigious ranking lists.* This weekend the Healthy Ageing Campus Netherlands followed suit by breaking into the top 100 of the 10x10 relay of the RUNWinschoten.
The RUN Winschoten is the oldest ultramarathon in the Netherlands, and includes individual 100KM and 50 KM races and a 10x10 KM relay. For the first time the Healthy Ageing Campus Netherlands entered a team. It was a mix of runners from Zorg Innovatie Forum, LifeLines, UMCG and Triade Real Estate. All of them working on the smartest kilometer in the Netherlands.
Even though it practically rained all day, the smartest KM was pretty quick as well. Finishing the 100 KM total in 8 hours, 41 minutes and 1 second. This lead to an 89th place in the overall ranking and a 16th place in the services/government Category. Off course there is still room for improvement. So "the day after" is also the first day of preparation for next years edition: September 13th 2014. Are you interested in joining the Healthy Ageing Campus Netherlands team? Please contact us via firstname.lastname@example.com
* The University of Groningen made top 100 positions in the QS World University Ranking, the Times Higher Education and ARWU ranking lists.

Published online courtesy Western Art Collector, August 2012
Art lovers and should mark their calendars for the August 16th launch of the crime novel Paint by Numbers by gallery owner Dr. Mark Sublette. Set in Santa Fe and New York City, Paint by Numbers, Sublette's debut work, will give readers a unique picture of the art dealer's world — and provide a bit of suspense.
"I've always had a fascination about how values go up when artists are no longer around," Sublette says. "The premise of the murder mystery is set on that little nugget."
Sublette, who has owned the Medicine Man Gallery on Canyon Road for more than 16 years, has fused a bit of his savvy art business sense and experience with a Hillerman-esque style of fiction, set against the backdrop of the Navajo Nation.
"The most interesting thing that readers will like is that there is an authenticity as my background as an art dealer," he reiterates, "and one who deals in Native American materials, who loves Native American cultures.
"I've known some medicine men and have had interaction with artists who have medicine men as their family members," he offers. "And I know quite a bit about sandpaintings — I've always had an interest in that. The rituals I bring out are close to what happens. I do change a few things because I don't want it to be too sensitive to the Navajo."
Charles Bloom, the protagonist who owns a contemporary art gallery on Canyon Road, is faced with the loss of the great protege, Willard Yellowhorse. Years later, Charles, is still trying to come to grips with the loss of a great artist. When Yellowhorse's final painting, Struggle, is about to be sold at auction, Bloom's inner voice is shouting with two unrelenting questions: How did Willard Yellowhorse really die? And who, if anyone, killed him?
Paint by Numbers, the first in the Charles Bloom mystery series, will be available in hardcover at museum stores, at the Medicine Man Gallery and website, and in eformat on Kindle, Amazon and Nook.
Mark Sublette Medicine Man Gallery is located at 602A Canyon Road in Santa Fe. For more information, call 866-894-7451 or visit www.medicinemangallery.comRead More

Poland's Rafal Majka wins 14th stage of Tour de France
Young rider, 21, makes amends for Friday's second to overall race leader Vincenzo Nibali
Rafal Majka made up for the disappointment of finishing second on Friday by winning yesterday's 14th stage of the Tour de France as Vincenzo Nibali continued to distance his rivals.
Pole Majka broke away from an 11-strong escape group on the final first category climb to Risoul and managed to hold off a charging Nibali to win the 177km Alpine stage from Grenoble.
It was a welcome relief for Majka having been reeled in and passed by Nibali on Friday's first stage in the Alps, but also for his Tinkoff-Saxo team after losing leader Alberto Contador to injury.
"This morning I spoke with my teammates because yesterday I was second and I spoke also with the team and [manager] Bjarne [Riise] and I said if I get in the breakaway I will win the stage," said the 24-year-old Majka.
"At the bottom of the final climb, we had an advantage of 1 minute, 10 seconds over the peloton and I attacked and I dropped everyone, [Joaquim] Rodriguez and the Cannondale rider [Alessandro De Marchi], and I tried to win alone.
"When the gap was 35 seconds with 2km left to the finish I kept my motivation and fought for the stage win."
Majka held on to win by 24 seconds to Nibali with 37-year-old Frenchman Jean-Christophe Peraud coming over the line just two seconds later.
Nibali had attacked his rivals in the overall standings inside the final 4km and as he rode away the true battle for the podium places really started to hot up.
Second placed Alejandro Valverde started to struggle around 2km from home, allowing young French pair Thibaut Pinto and Romain Bardet, as well as American Tejay Van Garderen, to gain time as they came in fifth through to seventh.
Valverde rolled over the line in 10th and lost 30 seconds to Van Garderen and 34 seconds to the two Frenchmen. The Spanish veteran drifted out to 4:37 behind Nibali. "Nibali is the strongest but there's nothing in it between the rest of us," said Valverde.

Autumn is here... time to think about winter!
Being creatures of habit, we are going back to La Clusaz. It may seem crazy when we have all the ski fields of Europe relatively close-by but we really enjoyed our luxurious week there last year. So we have decided to go back again for two weeks this time. To conserve funds, we'll be giving up the indulgent demi-pension we had last year and taking a little self-catered studio. I really don't mind. We will save heaps of money this way, and even though I'll have to cook most nights, it will be nice not to have to face dinner in the restaurant EVERY night with the kids. I will miss those three course meals though...but it will made up for by being able to have two full weeks in the snow (please let there be lots of snow!)

FAlbum 0.56 URL issue
In FAlbum 0.56 the generated rewrite rules for friendly URLs are written as ^ph0to instead of ^photo…easy enough to fix. However, when you click on an album to view the contents, the URL is still being written as ph0to which suggests to me it's hard-coded somewhere in the files or that there is an additional rewrite error that I simply don't understand.
Anybody come across this and solve it yet?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

The 10 towns which have had the biggest jump in house sales during the first half of the year are all in London and the south east.
That's according to figures from high street bank Halifax.
Ilford's seen the biggest rise in the number of homes being sold, followed by Croydon.
But it says growth in the north of England is still flat.

used to say that sales people are the most important people in business.
Sometimes this didn't go down too well with non-sales people. But after working with many businesses over the years, my views have changed. I am now of the firm belief that it's not sales people who are the most important people in business, but Sales Managers. While a good sales person may be able to increase their sales by 25% or 50% in a year, a good sales manager has the potential to increase the sales of a whole team or a whole company by 25% to 50%. And while the poor performance of a single sales person may not be a business killer, the poor performance of a whole sales team certainly can be. Quite simply the ability or inability of a sales manager gets magnified and the more people in the sales managers' team, branch or division, the greater their ability to make or break a company. And while the position of sales manager may have certain privileges, it also comes with huge responsibilities and a lot of pressure. Whether your title is Sales Manager, Team Leader, Branch Manager, GM or Business Owner, if you're in charge of the
sales team it is you who is ultimately responsible for the performance of your company's sales people – not a responsibility for the faint hearted, and not a responsibility most sales people can handle. As many successful sales people have found out, being a good sales person is certainly no guarantee that you will be a good sales manager. But given the importance of sales managers, how many businesses have a company training or induction program for their sales managers? How many businesses understand the challenges sales managers face or how to support them in their role? In my experience many businesses invest more time on their processes and systems for cleaning their office than for their sales managers and sales teams. Sound familiar to you? If so it's my hope that we can provide you, the most important people in business, with some much needed encouragement, inspiration and ideas to help you make the changes New Zealand businesses need is worth more than their weight in gold. Happy selling!

The Psychology of Influence
st people will probably associate the words o influence and persuasion with the sales process. However, influencing – getting another person to accede to your requests – is at the core of most soft skills including leadership, negotiation and teamwork. All of these functions require us, at some stage, to influence and persuade others. It may be influencing customers, colleagues, friends – even our children – to buy, do, accept or believe in something or someone. The ability to influence others in an ethical manner is a greatly underrated competency and one that many of us do not do well. However, new research has highlighted that persuasion skills can be learnt by almost any individual. Enter, Dr Robert Cialdini. If you want to sell anything, influence anybody or motivate action I urge you to read Cialdini's brilliant book, Influence,
By Rob McKay
Science and Practice. Cialdini is a psychology professor at Arizona State University. He is the most cited social psychologist on the subject of persuasion in the world. As the book's title states, the content is based on science – Cialdini has examined hundreds of psychological experiments on persuasion to form his core thesis. But what's really impressive is that he actually took three years off to work as a 'spy' in a number of jobs to understand how his theories held up in the everyday working environment. Cialdini's influencing theories centre on six key constructs that are easy to learn and apply. They are: reciprocation, commitment and consistency, social proof, likeability, authority and scarcity. Let's have a brief look at each. NZSM / JUNE 3rd 2009 / 4
Reciprocity People are more willing to comply with requests (for favours, services, information and concessions) from those who have provided such things first. This is the old 'give and take' scenario – if I do this for you, maybe, in the future, you will do something for me. This form of influencing is used in many ways – gifts, concessions and exclusive information are common tools of reciprocity. One place you see this tactic used is in supermarkets; merchandisers offer you free food to taste, you reciprocate by purchasing. The key concept here is that when giving make it a gift, not a reward! Your actions must not be seen as coercion.
Social Validation People are more willing to take a recommended action if they see evidence that many others, especially similar others, are taking it. We live in a busy world with no time to fully validate our decisions, so many times we rely on what others are doing. If many people are doing it, it must be right – or is it? Have you ever noticed how a small group will attract a crowd and a crowd attracts a mob? If a street performer can get four or five people to stand and watch, I guarantee there will be 20 or 30 people there within a minute or two. If two or three people throw money into the hat, many other coins will follow – that's why buskers always seed their violin case with notes and coins.
Commitment/Consistency People are more willing to be moved in a particular direction if they see it as consistent with an existing commitment. An example of the commitment principle is used in retail sales – a good salesperson will try to get you to try something on because once you are committed to trying, you are closer to buying. People will very rarely go against their own values and beliefs. Once a person makes a choice, or takes a stand they will encounter interpersonal and personal pressures to behave consistently with what they have previously said or done. Now you can understand why the power of getting a small holding deposit from a potential buyer works so well – they are now committed to moving forward. Authority People are more willing to follow the directions or recommendations of a communicator to whom they attribute relevant authority or expertise. For example, an expert witness talking in technical terms has more persuasive powers with juries than a lay eyewitness.
Here's a little test you can perform. When next in a crowded area with a couple of mates have the three of you all look up into the sky – I guarantee everybody around you will start doing the same. Scarcity I love this one; it sucks me in all the time. People find objects and opportunities more attractive to the degree that they are scarce, rare, or dwindling in availability. Air New Zealand's current 'grab a seat' campaign plays on this scarcity principle. Think about the one-day sale or tickets to a popular concert/event that last sold out in 30 minutes. The interesting psychology working here is that people fear loss more than they want gain. Telling someone they will lose $1000 a year if they don't take action is more powerful than promising they will make a $1000 by taking action. Another tip, numbers are more powerful than time as it creates competition.
A tactic used a lot in advertising is to have recognised experts endorse products. Having Dr or PhD linked to a name adds persuasive power. Dan Carter sells a lot of men's underwear to women who are buying on behalf of men. A double whammy here, Dan has authority and attractiveness (see below). The biggest symbols of authority are automobiles, clothes and titles.
NZSM / JUNE 3rd 2009 / 5
Liking/Friendship/Attractiveness Yes folks, beauty does sell. People prefer to say yes to those they know, like, find attractive or are similar too. It's a proven fact that voters will be more swayed by an attractive, friendly candidate than policy. I'll tell you one thing, there were many election billboards littering out streets in the recent election campaign that helped people to vote against a candidate! Apart from people liking you, people will also be moved to say yes to your requests if you show them (naturally and sincerely) that you like them. All of us are suckers for flattery! Measuring, Predicting and Learning Influence The science of influencing can be learned; however a person's ability to influence successfully is heavily driven by their personality. If they don't have personality traits like resilience, optimism and assertiveness, no amount of training will make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!
Personality can be measured. Influencing skills can be taught – you can't have one without the other. So, if you are hiring or developing staff that need influencing and persuading ability (salespeople, outbound call centre operators, leaders, managers and marketers) it's important to ensure they have the innate personality characteristics to drive this competency. Assessing them through a valid personality profile will give you this important information. Then, introducing them to Cialdini's six core principles of persuasion will be analogous to putting a strong sea breeze into their Kevlar racing sails. The science of influencing is very powerful. Those who can understand the theories will be better equipped to generate change and growth in their businesses. But a word of caution – your influencing tactics must be ethical; people who use unethical strategies may win the first round, but will lose the match.

Why is Selling Still a Dirty Word? It's Time to Rewrite the Dictionary By Paul Newsom
often begin sales workshops by asking the question "What is selling?" We always end up with several different definitions, and some better than others in the context of the business. Stop reading for a moment and write down your definition of selling. Selling can and should mean different things to people who sell. The definition needs to consider the nature of the sale. It is interesting to note that the origin of the word sell is Sellan, the old English word meaning 'to give'. A quick dictionary search on Google comes up with the following definitions: • To exchange or deliver for money or its equivalent • To persuade (another) to recognise the worth or desirability of something • A deception, a hoax • Sell down the river (betray the trust or faith of)
NZSM / JUNE 3rd 2009 / 8
We don't need to go into three and four, as they're outside our meaning of the word in this context. So let's look at the first two definitions.
people to buy something they have no need for. The best persuasive sales people will leave the buyer thinking they have bought well, rather than been sold to.
Firstly, exchanging money for goods or services is not selling. This is the definition of 'sale' which is the transactional outcome of the process of selling.
In a complex sale however, a strategy of persuasion is unlikely to result in long-term success. I think of selling as 'the process of helping people make quality buying decisions and developing mutually beneficial and profitable long-term relationships'.
A great exercise is to ask your salespeople, "What is selling?" If your salespeople cannot present a consistent answer it's highly likely that your customers are receiving an inconsistent buying experience from your company. Secondly, those selling commodity product to repeat buyers in a competitive market are likely to need good persuasive skills, but will hopefully not be using persuasion to get
It is about helping the client succeed, from which you make sales, rather than persuading people to buy. There is a big difference. How well does your definition of selling support the desired sales culture of your business or organisation? I generally find that wide variation of opinion on what selling is within a team will be a good indicator of a dysfunctional sales culture. A great exercise is to ask your salespeople, "What is selling?" If your salespeople cannot present a consistent answer it's highly likely that your customers are receiving an inconsistent buying experience from your company. In any context, selling is something you do with or for someone, not something you do to someone.

Sales Forecasting
The Sales Managers Dilemma! Part 1 of a 3 Part Series By Michael Taplin
you can talk him into placing that big order this month for delivery over the next two months, you might just get away with it. You know you're just fudging it yourself and the chances of getting lucky next month are not good but things are tough out there. What is the real problem? If you have ever found yourself in this position, you need a better answer. Your problem is that your sales forecasting system does not look far enough ahead. It does not tell you the truth early enough for you to act and make a difference.
Do you identify with this scenario? Two weeks into the month and the CEO walks into your office looking pensive. "How was the board meeting?" you ask. "The chairman wants to know whether we will hit our sales budget this month. What should I tell her?" You knew this was coming but foreknowledge doesn't change that sinking feeling you experience. Dare you say "Yes"? Can you bear to say "No"? "I'd better check around before I answer that," you respond. "Get back to me by 10am tomorrow," says the CEO. The equation: 15 days to go, MTD sales $200,000, budget $500,000, sales achievable at the present rate $400,000. What have your reps got in the pipeline? A quick email goes out looking for the instant update, and the answers trickle back. They say they can pull in another $250,000. $450,000 is not good enough for you to take back to the boss. You'll be in the gun. But do you believe them? What if they are too optimistic? What if you tell the boss $450,000 and they are just fudging to buy time? At $400,000 your job is on the line. How can you find the truth? Can you pull in a couple of favours from customers? You took Joe fishing last month and he caught the snapper of a lifetime. He owes you. If
You need a forecasting system that gives you two months' notice of a bad month so that you can get your sales team working on the things that will fill up the bucket.
Making a sale requires real work; the process has to be Let's think about the things we know:
followed, both for you and the customer. There are quite a few stages in the process, from finding a prospect, putting together a quote, getting the order and starting the work. Short cuts don't work. Sales teams cherry-pick their prospect lists for the easy sale and look dumb when they have to chase the harder ones. Salespeople are over-optimistic at the start, and good at excuses when it turns to custard.
So can you build a simple sales forecasting system that will not only let you know in an instant what your team will close this month, but be alerted to problems months in advance? The good news is YES. You can solve your problem by treating every sale as a project in its own right. Then you can track and measure your progress through the steps to the sale.

Infographic: How Much Do People Spend On Coffee, Lunch and Gas for Work?
6 Responses so far.
I bring my lunch nearly everyday, saves tons!
Well I'm not a coffee drinker. So I'm glad I'm saving on that expense. I do like to buy lunch instead of bring a packed lunch though. I just can't find something that I like enough to bring it for lunch on a regular basis.
Regarding the infographic, it's not surprising that younger people spend more on lunch. They are less worried about healthy eating and long term finances. Plus they might not have had the opportunity to buy meals in the past.
I don't buy coffee outside of work, but maybe that's because my employers coffee is quite good? I also pack a lunch. I work hard to make money, I don't want to be spending it working 🙂
I think I fall into the average of about $25/wk. I drink a lot of coffee, but I do make a lot of it myself, which does save. I hit Starbucks maybe twice per week.
I don't believe at all that the average amount spent on coffee a week is $25. I drink coffee a lot and I'm at maybe half that. Venti mocha fraps shouldn't count as coffee either.
