Come away with me
Together with foreign ambassadors in Slovenia, we hope to discover the most beautiful places and hidden treasures, based on the personal experiences of our guests. From cuisine, music, culture and natural sights, to historical and other wonders and the way of life.
Do you feel Slovenia
Radio Si quiz show: Do you feel Slovenia? How well do foreign visitors know Slovenia? How well do they feel Slovenia? Two foreigners face it off in a brand new quiz show on Radio Si!
Euranet Plus
Radio Si coordinates and prepares various shows about Euripean affairs, which are broadcast on the news programmes and special shows of Radio Slovenija. Of the 70 minutes of programming a week, the biggest portion goes to news and information broadcasts, although there is also a special weekly show.
Evropa v svetovnem tisku
Prelistajmo evropske in svetovne časnike in preverimo kaj imajo zanimivega povedati o dogajanju v Evropi. V minuti in pol boste izvedeli kaj najbolj odmeva iz stare celine.
Highlights of the Week
We pick out the most important news from Slovenia, Europe and around the globe for that particular week.
Kako postaneš Slovenec / How to become Slovene
About ten years ago, Michael moved from New York to his new home in Slovenia. In this weekly show, he looks at the things he's learned (or tried to learn) while settling down in his new home. From language to culture to everything else, it's a light-hearted look at what it means to live in Slovenia and how to become a proud Slovene.
Land of dreams
An audio documentary presenting true stories about foreigners in Slovenia. We visit them, peek into their lives and daily routines. Take a different look at the people that have come from abroad! Has Slovenia fulfilled their expectations? Is it their land of dreams?
My life, my music
Today's journalism rarely offers a chance to get behind the face of many people in our society. My Life, My Music offers conversations that allow time to understand how the guest has reached their goals and what is important to them. Along with 8 tracks of music chosen by the guest the programme takes a journey though many different personal philosophies with inspirational guests from all walks of life.
Respect the artist
We are in search of respected Artists from all over the globe, bringing you their stories, reports and trailers about their upcoming gigs in Slovenia and nearby. Music is what feelings sound like. And if painters paint pictures on canvas, musicians paint their pictures on silence and numbness. Without these people our lifes would have no light nor love. And that is why the team of Respect the Artist is so keen on trying to reach the people that make music for all of us.
Second hand
Second hand looks at the trend of recycling existing music in the form of samples, remixes and covers - although sometimes these modifications are actually flagrant violations of copyright laws... Some artists use without acknowledging where they got it, so we decided to take a closer look. The result: a huge number of hits are credited to the wrong musician, while the people who really wrote it remain ignored. Listen to the original and the adaptation and familiarize yourself with what's going on in the music industry - you'll be surprised by how many of your idols have built their reputation on the shoulders of others.
Slovenian roots
Slovenian Roots visits the descendants of Slovenes all around the world to find out what it's like growing up Slovene and how they feel about their home away from home.
Talk Slovenia
Interesting people from around Slovenia gather to discuss some of the most interesting topics of the day. Our guests debate and share their opinions on all facets of life in the country. At a running time of 45 minutes, it's possible to get an in-depth perspective on the hottest topics of the day. From Jugoslavia to Slovenia, finance, international business, tourism, journalism, education and health.
Tourist patrol
Foreigners in Slovenia visit towns and villages, checking what's available for tourists and giving their real, unbiased opinions. A joint project of the daily newspaper Dnevnik and Radio Si.

I love the way one of the god defenders is always forced to resort to these poor pathetic non human analogies in his vain attempt at defending his omnipotent, omniscient god.
Apparently omnipotent and omniscient isn't enough to defend yourself.

Weaver Markets gets wheels turning on scholarship
By: MICHELLE REIFF Review Staff email@example.com, Staff Writer
Anyone who has shopped at Weaver Markets in Adamstown has likely visited The Wagon, the familiar fixture outside the store which offers reasonable lunch options for visitors.
What patrons may not know is that this popular attraction offers more than just a bite to eat for hungry customers. The trailer, which has been offering support to local community groups in the form of donations for several years, has embarked on its latest endeavor — a scholarship for Cocalico High School students.
Mike Weaver, general manager, said the A. Earl Weaver Scholarship, named in honor of his father, who founded the store in 1962, will be offered beginning with the graduating class of 2013. It will be a one-year award offered each year to a deserving senior who plans to pursue a business related major at an institution of higher learning.
"He is the one that wanted to give back in the community," said Weaver of his father, who passed away in April 1998. "He was a great example for us and we're trying to continue that."
Weaver said that although The Wagon is only in its third year, its roots stem back to a hot dog trailer which the store had years ago. The hot dog trailer evolved to a tent for chicken barbecue, which progressed to a pavilion out back.
"People were missing those cheaper meals, so we built a wagon and put it out in the front of the building," said Weaver. The trailer has two or three sandwich options, with nothing more than $3, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday from the last week of March through the second week in November.
When The Wagon was started, 25 percent its revenue from Wednesdays was donated to local organizations.
"Since both of our store locations are right in Cocalico School District (the other being the Reinholds market in Blainsport), we thought that the best way to help the community was to work through their booster clubs," said Weaver. "From school groups to church groups to fire companies… this year we added the school music and art departments."
Weaver said he gets about 10 to 20 requests a week for donations; therefore, many of the booster clubs the store supports have received some type of contribution in the past.
With the creation of the new scholarship, two weeks will be designated during the year when all proceeds will be donated to this effort.
Weaver, who manages the two store locations along with his brother, Gene, embraces the opportunity to continue in his father's footsteps by helping to enhance the community through philanthropy.
"At this point (the amount of the scholarship) will be determined by revenue," he said. "It will be $1,000 to $1,500. We would like to see that increase a little each year." More WEAVERS, page A10

Will I be able to save money in China?
Will I be able to pay off student loans?
The ability to save money and pay off debts is one of the reasons that sends newbie English teachers abroad. You will meet lots of just-out-of-university English teachers hoping to travel the world a bit, all working to pay down their student loans.
The money situation in is improving steadily. Some people may find it difficult to save much money in China without pinching their pennies. But it is quite possible, depending on your salary. Considering free accommodation and reimbursed airfare, your biggest costs will be food (very cheap) and fun (the sky is the limit!). Some jobs even offer subsidized utilities, free Internet at your apartment and even a free computer at your apartment. Some offer free meals while at work. Some even offer free Chinese lessons.
What is left in your pocket at the end of the month is more a matter of lifestyle. If the local bartender knows you by name and you have a frequent visitor pass at the best nightclubs . . . well, you may not save much.
Overall, an excellent lifestyle combined with an ability to save is available to you.
If this is an issue of concern for you, ask your interviewer about it. They can give you a good idea for the particular city where the school is located. If you wish to teach in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou or other top locations, know that the cost of living in those cities can be very high and you are not likely to save much if anything. However, there a lots of big cities often just 30-60- or 90 minutes by train or bus from those mega-cities where the cost of living is half as much and it is quite easy to save.

Niche Directories
A niche directory is one that is narrowly focused, generally on one specific topic or narrow range of topics. An example of a niche directory would be those which only list medical websites. A directory of Christian churches would also be a niche directory, but so would a directory that covers a wider range of religions until, at some point, the decision of whether a directory is to be classified as a niche directory of a general directory would be subjective.
Technically speaking, a directory that lists only sites within the United States, or one of its states or cities, might be considered a niche directory. However, rather than having regionally oriented subcategories within two different category trees, for the purposes of categorization within the WDR Directory of Directories, I have opted to place them within the Regional subcategories of the General Directories tree, as many of them do cover a wide range of topics, albeit within a restricted geographical area.
Currently, the WDR Directory of Directories includes, within the Niche Directories tree, subcategories for Education, Environment, Ethnic, Health, Religion, Under 21, and Web Design. Others will be created, and these may be further subdivided, as it becomes necessary.
For the combined purposes of search engine optimization and the likelihood of receiving direct traffic from a web directory, a listing in a niche directory related to the topic may be more valuable than a listing in an appropriate category of a general web directory, as an appropriate listing in reputable niche directory may be given significant weight by a search engine, and people who are interested in your topic are more likely to be browsing an on-topic niche directory than a general web directory.

Escape into the beautiful hinterland of the NSW South Coast for a spirited Supercar Drive Day featuring the brand new Ferrari 488 GTB, Lamborborghini Huracán LP 610-4 plus a collection of different supercars.
Starting seasonally from Kiama – located 2-hours south of Sydney, embark on an exclusive driving experience that ventures across a landscape of rolling hills, sleepy dairy farms and unspoilt rainforests. An enchanting Supercar Drive Day across the NSW South Coast, Southern Highlands and Kangaroo Valley (200km), including the latest exotics and the finest surprises.
Enjoy an espresso at Penny Whistler's Cafe and a private introduction to a stable of different supercars including the new Ferrari 488 GTB and Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4, before launching into the hinterland of the Grand Pacific Drive and the dramatic escarpment rising behind it.
With a wildly beaming smile, ascend the famous Macquarie Pass; an often misty mountain road set into the sandstone escarpment, winding by cascading waterfalls, sub-tropical rainforest and hair-pin bends before emerging onto the plateau of the Southern Highlands.
Idle into the old Robertson Cheese Factory (est. 1936) for a leisurely break, taking time to balance the adrenaline by raiding their delicious display of gelato, freshly baked cakes and scones (paired with home-made jam and a dollop of their fresh cream), plus a selection of locally-sourced cheeses.
Delve deeper into the Southern Highlands, following a ribbon of tarmac that unravels into Kangaroo Valley – a charming river valley nestled between the Cambewarra and Barrengarry Ranges, before soaring south over the mountains for an exhilarating descent and a long lunch at The Blue Swimmer @ Seahaven.
Following lunch at The Blue Swimmer, accelerate along the Kiama Bends and the smoothly surfaced roads into Jamberoo and across Jamberoo Mountain before returning via Saddleback Mountain. Sweep down to the Kiama Lighthouse and Blowhole on dusk for the perfect photo opportunity just as the sun sets across Kiama. Few drives come close.
Lunch Destination – The Blue Swimmer @ Seahaven, Gerroa
Daniel and Paul Dewhurst have always shared a passion for good food, a surf and spending time at their family property in nearby Toolijooa. Together with the local knowledge and culinary talents of Head Chef Lauren Brown, the Blue Swimmer delivers an exceptional dining experience next to an exquisite estuary where the Crooked River meets the Pacific.

- Price: $2,500 per couple or two guests (this event caters for a maximum of 4-5 couples or 8-10 guests)
- The brand new Ferrari 488 GTB and Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 (guaranteed), paired with a collection of different supercars (5x maximum)

Corporate Communication Paul A. Argenti Sixth Edition
My topic is : The Ways and Means of Managing Washington
I would like to conduct my research on the ways and means of managing Washington. I think this would be interesting to connect how businesses reach out to the government.
Instructor comments: Kevin – If you would…please say a little more about your intent. Please be sure to focus on the communicative aspects of a topic.
On the surface, what I find of interest is how CEO's, and senior leadership are able to break down barriers and create opportunities to engage government officials and legislators regarding their company or self interest. I would also be interested in understanding how a company CEO can take a different position and assert their idea/position how its value has deep impact that benefits many not just the few. Of course this extends to lobbying and PAC's.
Directions for Annotated Bibliography
You will provide an annotated bibliography of 25 references that you plan to use for your research paper. This must be in APA format, with a cover page and references that each includes a summary, analysis and reflection. This assignment is due by 12 midnight (EST) on the Sunday of Week 3.
Why do an annotated bibliography? The Writing Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provides an excellent response:
A good annotated bibliography:
encourages you to think critically about the content of the works you are using, their place within a field of study, and their relation to your own research and ideas.
proves you have read and understand your sources.
establishes your work as a valid source and you as a competent researcher.
An annotated bibliography is a list of sources and includes APA formatted references to the articles, books and resources (all which should have been found through the Liberty University Online Library) which one has compiled for a research assignment. Following each reference is a brief description and an evaluation of the source. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to benefit the researcher and provide the content, relevance and quality of the sources.
Do NOT simply cut and past the abstract as the annotation, as they are not the same. Abstracts are summaries of a source, whereas annotations also include a short summary. Abstracts include a critical aspect to note the source's author (why should s/he be considered an expert) and they explain the usefulness of the research being performed. Along with being an excellent source for APA formatting guidelines, The Owl at Purdue has helpful information regarding annotated bibliographies and also provides helpful examples.
You can expect to keep copies of the annotated bibliography completed for this class, as some of the research may be applicable for research required for other courses. Having an annotated bibliography ensures that a quick review will help a student determine the applicability of articles previously reviewed to required research.
The APA format for an annotated bibliography is as follows:
Author Last Name, First Initial. Middle Initial. (year). Name of journal article. Name of Journal
is Next,volume(Issue), page numbers.
A brief summary of the article.
Assess the article according to the focus of the research and provide criticisms. Who is the author and how are they qualified? Reflect on the source and how it fits in the topic chosen to research. Is the source helpful? Too broad or too narrow? Explain how this research will fit into your research paper.

The London Borough of Waltham Forest
Waltham Forest The Borough of Waltham Forest lies to the east of central London, with its centre, Walthamstow, located 30 minutes from the city. For shoppers, Walthamstow is home to Britain's longest street market, providing nearly one mile of stalls selling everything from hardware to food and clothes. Five minutes walk away from the hustle and bustle of the market is Walthamstow Village, a designated conservation area, where visitors can get a glimpse of the origins of Walthamstow. Within the village is the Vestry House Museum, built in the 18th century as the parish workhouse, which has a reconstructed Victorian parlour and police cell amongst its exhibits. Famous people connected with the borough include Benjamin Disraeli who was educated locally and William Morris, the 19th-century artist, poet and craftsman. The Morris family home, dating back to the mid 18th century, is now the William Morris Gallery located in Lloyd Park. The gallery displays a permanent exhibition of his life and work including wallpapers, fabrics, carpets and stained glass.

Friday Summary at Assen: On Rossi's Assen Magic, & Old Tires vs. New Tires vs. Soft Tires
Jeremy Burgess was famous for finding that special something on Sunday morning that gave Valentino Rossi the edge in the race in the afternoon. It is a tradition carried on by Silvano Galbusera, who has replaced Burgess since the start of the 2014 season.
Galbusera, too, always seems to find that extra little tweak during warm-up that makes the difference between cruising in fourth or finishing on the podium, and even on the top step.
The fact that it has continued since Burgess' departure suggests that the tweaks were very much a collaborative effort, with input coming from his data engineers and mechanics, as well as the rider himself, of course.
Two weeks ago in Barcelona, Rossi's team appear to have found something extra special. For it did not just work on the Sunday in Catalonia, taking Rossi from the third row all the way up to 2nd, but it has even carried through to Assen, some 1600km further north.
If the Honda is so bad, why are two RC213Vs at the top of the timesheets? That seems like a very valid question, given the public struggles that all of the Honda riders have had with the bike this year. Has the 2014 chassis finally fixed the Honda's ailments? Is Márquez back?
If only it were that simple. Firstly, of course, Marc Márquez never went away. The double world champion still possesses a gargantuan talent, and the desire and will to use it. He was hampered by many aspects of the 2015 bike, including both the engine and the chassis.
The 2015 chassis, he explained at Assen, was more precise and could be used more accurately. Unfortunately, the only way to get the best out of it was to ride it like every lap was a qualifying lap. That level of intensity is just not sustainable over race distance.
At some point, you will make a mistake, and the 2015 chassis punishes mistakes mercilessly. So HRC have reverted to a hybrid version, using a 2014 chassis and the new swingarm which Márquez first tested at Le Mans.
The Dutch round of MotoGP, the Dutch TT at Assen, is to switch from Saturday to Sunday.
From 2016, the event will surrender its unique status as the only MotoGP round to be held on Saturday, and fall in line with the rest of the MotoGP races. It will, however, remain on the last weekend of June, but will now be on the last Sunday, rather than the last Saturday of June.
The decision was taken by the circuit management after long consideration and discussions with many of the parties who have an interest in the race.
The circuit also commissioned market research into the use of leisure time among the Dutch public, which showed that Sunday is the day most people set aside to spend attending sporting events, such as the Dutch TT.
Circuit director Peter Oosterbaan and chairman Arjan Bos said that the market they were operating in was such that Sunday was a better day all round for sporting events.
Dani Pedrosa set a new outright lap record on his way to the fastest time on the opening day at Assen.
Jorge Lorenzo was unhappy with his pace at the end of the first day complaining of excessive corner exit wheelie and a lack of edge grip.
Valentino Rossi was quickest during this morning FP1 session.
Michael van der Mark will now not be racing at his home MotoGP round of Assen. The deal to replace the injured Karel Abraham at the AB MotoRacing team has fallen through, the stumbling block being who would cover the cost of crash parts.
The deal came very close to fruition. Rumors that Van der Mark would take the place of Abraham first started over the weekend at Misano, emerging publicly on Monday afternoon.
HRC had put Van der Mark forward to replace the injured Abraham, and the AB MotoRacing team were very open to having the young Dutchman as a substitute.
Things soured on Monday, however, as discussions grew heated over who would pay for crash damage to the Open class Honda RC213V-RS if Van der Mark were to drop the bike.
UPDATE: And it's off again – Van Der Mark will not be replacing Abraham at Assen after all
Michael van der Mark looks set to make his MotoGP debut at Assen this weekend.
The 22-year-old Dutchman will be swapping his Pata Honda CBR1000RR World Superbike machine for the Open class Honda RC213V-RS of the AB MotoRacing team, where he is set to fill in for the injured Karel Abraham.
Abraham badly injured his foot, severly dislocating his toe, in a fall during FP4 in Barcelona.
Rumors that the Dutchman would get the chance to race a MotoGP machine at his home race started circulating in the Dutch media earlier on Monday.
Several sources close to the situation confirmed that the deal was very close to being sealed. There are just a few final details to be settled, including matters such as covering the cost of damage in case of a crash.
It's been a long time since The Netherlands had a rider to cheer for as a nation, but Michael van der Mark is changing that. At just 22-years-old, Van der Mark is not only the reigning World Supersport Champion, but he also currently sits 7th in the World Superbike Championship, with the Pata Honda squad.
Don't let his young age fool you, the Dutchman is all business on the track, most recently grabbing two podiums at his home round in Assen — an impressive feat for any true WSBK rookie.
Equally impressed with their rider, HRC Europe has put together a nice video that features and introduces the young man beneath the helmet, who will also be Casey Stoner's teammate at the upcoming Suzuka 8-Hour endurance race.
We expect big things from Michael van der Mark over the course of his two-wheeled racing career. Remember his name, you'll surely be hearing it more and more often in the winner's circle.
The Ducati 1199 Panigale is perhaps the pinnacle of technology for sport bikes from Bologna, Italy. With 195 horses of fury, and a positively anorexic dry weight of 367 lbs, the spec-sheet racing for the Panigale is intriguing, if getting around a race track the absolutely fastest way possible is your primary goal.
But what if you enjoy the finer things in your Ducati life as well? In that case, the brains at Moto Puro might have just the thing for your Desmo addiction: the Ducati Elite II.
To build the Elite II, the Dutch builders of Moto Puro took a Ducati 1199 Panigale S, and stripped the machine down to its Superquadro engine and electrical components. From there, those crazy Dutchmen built a café racer style motorcycle, complete with tubeless wire-laced wheels on single-sided swingarm.

Crafting A Culture Of Honor
By Lance Witt on Mar 4, 2016
In the middle of this election year, the amount of vicious attack and trash talking has reached a new high (or low). I think it is time that we as pastors take the lead in helping our congregations and communities know how to treat one another.
In the middle of this election year, the amount of vicious attack and trash talking has reached a new high (or low). No matter what your political persuasion, I think you would agree that the political environment has become increasingly toxic.
We now live in a culture where verbal attack seems the order of the day. We have lost our sense of civility… and no person and no position is off limits. The media ruthlessly exploits people all in the name of "selling a story".
And the advent of technology has made it easier for people to be vicious toward one another. Because now you can hide behind a screen. People will say things in an e-mail they would never dream of saying in person. Pastors know this reality all too well.
So, when you hold up the topic this article against the backdrop of culture, it is radically counter-cultural. And sadly, too often it is even counter to Christian culture.
I think it is time that we as pastors take the lead in helping our congregations and communities know how to treat one another.
One of the ways that we shine the bright light of the gospel is to CRAFT a culture of honor within our churches.
I choose the word "craft" very intentionally. When you "craft" something it takes skill and expertise and focus. You will never drift into a culture of honor.
A church is a great laboratory and testing ground for "honor".
The signature verse for this topic has to be Romans 12:10 (NIV) where Paul says
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.
Honor one another above yourselves.
We are not only called to be devoted to our mission. We are mandated to be devoted to one another. That means that the people I preach to are not just volunteers for the church's mission, but they are family. And just like we don't get to choose our earthly family, we don't get to choose who God puts in our spiritual family called the church. Being devoted to the people in our congregation is messy and often frustrating. But they are the sheep God has entrusted to us and they are worthy of our devotion.
In a culture of honor, we are to be more PERSONAL than TRANSACTIONAL. In other words, I value the people in my church as unique individuals who are created in the image of God and who matter greatly to God. People have a very fine tuned antenna… they can tell whether or not we have genuine interest in them (personal) or whether we simple want something from them (transacational)
A culture of honor is always marked by "brotherly love". It seems to me that these days we are obsessed with leadership and growth. The danger is that we can make an idol out of leadership and vision. But in John 13, Jesus did not say "by this will all men know that you are my disciples…if you are really good leaders" or "all men will know you are my disciples… if you have a great ministry plan or awesome vision statement". The one thing Jesus gave the world the right to judge us by was how well we love one another (John 13:35).
It is helpful for me to regularly be reminded that the bible has far more to say about love than it does leadership.
Paul ends Romans 12:10 with the challenge to honor one another above yourselves. I love that word "honor". But what does it look like to "honor" one another above ourselves?
One translation of this phrase in Romans 12:10 is "lead the way in honoring others above yourself". One scholar translated this phrase "try to outdo one another in showing honor".
That is just the opposite of our normal competitive spirit. Our human nature competes to show we are the best. When we compete, it's usually about us. but Paul says, "if you you want to compete, be competitive in showing honor to others"
In the last few months there is a verse that I just can't get off of my mind. It is in the book of Titus and Paul talks about us "making the gospel attractive". When we treat people with dignity we make the gospel attractive. When we truly love people we make the gospel attractive. And when we use words of honor, we make the gospel attractive.
In the midst of a toxic political environment where verbal assassination is the order of the day, we have the incredible privilege of making the gospel attractive by honoring one another.

Developing a Strategy that Works
Every company needs new customers to grow. That means you need leads….and lots of them. Leads are the lifeblood of any company. Once nurtured, they can be converted into profitable customers, which in turn, will boost your business performance. Without leads, there'll be no customers or clients, and no sales. If you don't have leads, your company is doomed to fail.
So, how does a business go about getting leads? And once you have them, what are the best ways convert them into customers? This can be a challenge to accomplish, especially if you're stuck on doing what worked in the past. The fact is, the tried-and-true techniques from just 10 or 15 years ago are often not effective anymore…not in today's digital age.
Back in the "old days," a company's marketing department usually got their leads by "interruptive" outbound marketing methods like mass advertising, cold-calling, direct mail, networking and email blasts. After learning something about the product, prospective customers would then contact the seller to find out more. The company's sale team would then educate these uninformed, early-stage buyers about the product and guide them through the purchase. The sales department was basically in control of the buying process because it was the source of the information the buyers needed.
With the growth of the Internet, the buying process has changed dramatically. Today, consumers are able to access a variety of information resources online to do their own research about products they may be interested in. In many cases, they'll delay talking to sales people until after they've made their decision about what product to buy. When they do talk to the sales department, they may be just as informed about the product as the sales people selling to them. As a result, this can make it much harder for a salesperson to influence a buyer.
But that's not the only challenge. Our world has moved from one of information scarcity just a couple generations ago, to one of information abundance today. According to Google CEO Eric Schmidt, the same amount of information that was created from the dawn of civilization until 2003 is now created every two days. As a result consumers are overloaded with information. At the same time, they're also getting better and better at ignoring messages they're not interested in. Grabbing their attention and holding it is harder than ever.
What does this mean for your business? If your marketing department is going to have a meaningful impact on the bottom line, there must be a strategy in place so you can turn those digital "window shoppers" into qualified sales leads—and ultimately into paying customers. That process is called lead generation.
Lead generation in the 21st Century
Lead generation is the term for attracting prospective customers and capturing their interest in a product or service for the purpose of developing a sales pipeline. It involves collecting names and contact information from qualified prospects, who will be contacted by the sales department for the purpose of generating orders. Lead generation has always been an important part of the sales process, but due to the trends just discussed, it is more important than ever.
In particular, it's critical that you implement the most up-to-date lead generation techniques and practices so you can be effective at reaching your target market. This means you're going to need to find new ways to reach buyers and get noticed amidst all the noise and clutter on Internet. You're also going to need to figure out a way for your target market to find you. The fact is, today's buyers are far more savvy than they used to be. They're not only doing their own research online about what products are available, today's buyers are finding vendors for themselves—rather than the other way around (vendors finding the buyers) like in the past. This is why having a solid digital presence is so important for generating leads. You need to be there when potential customers start looking for a company to buy from.
But while digital marketing poses some new challenges, it can also make sales go much more smoothly. The biggest plus is your sales team can spend more time actively selling and closing deals, rather than waste time cold calling a list of unqualified leads. This means leads can turn into sales revenue much more quickly.
Nurturing your leads down the sales funnel
Of course lead generation is just the first step. After you make contact with your potential customers, you need to build a rapport and a connection with them, so you can turn as many of them as possible into buyers. The term for this is lead nurturing. The purpose of lead nurturing is educate qualified leads about how your business can help them, as you take them down the sales funnel.
A sales funnel is both a visual and marketing tool picturing the sales process. The funnel is widest at the top, because this is where prospects with varying levels of interest enter the picture. As you educate, inform and build trust with your leads, you can channel them down from the top of the funnel (where prospects are not ready yet to buy) to the bottom part of the funnel (when they are ready to buy).
This whole process can take some time. Remember, consumers no longer want to be "sold to" as in times past. They want to take their time to educate themselves and evaluate their product options on their own—before they make contact with a business. When they do make contact, they want to be listened to; they don't want salespeople to "talk at" them as was often done with conventional sales methods.
According to the marketing research institute, Marketing Sherpa, 73 percent of leads are not ready to buy when they first give businesses their contact details (this when they're at the top of the sales funnel). Another marketing research firm, Forrester Research, reports that companies that excel at lead nurturing generate 50 percent more sales-ready leads than companies that do not do lead nurturing, and these leads are at a 33 percent lower cost. These stats underscore the importance of lead nurturing in the digital marketplace.
Lead magnets: A smart approach to lead generation and nurturing.
If your lead generation or lead nurturing – or both – needs a boost, lead magnets may be your answer. Simply put, a lead magnet is anything of value or a special offer you give to visitors to your website, in exchange for their contact information – usually an email address, but sometimes a telephone number and physical address as well.
Properly executed, a lead magnet can help your company generate a stack of new targeted leads. But that's only the beginning. When your sales prospects give you their contact information, then you can start to build a relationship with them. Realize that some people may take weeks or months, from the time they first hear about your product or service, until they are ready to purchase whatever it is you are selling. Lead magnets allow you to stay in touch with potential customers and nurture them—until they are ready for the buyer (and repeat-buyer) stage.
Lead magnets come in many different shapes and sizes. One of the most common types of lead magnet is a free report or guide that's delivered in PDF format. In addition, there are many other types of lead magnets that you can make available to your prospects. These include:
One of the most tried-and-true lead magnets, an eBook is most often a "how to" guide of some kind. The idea is to offer some practical information to your contacts, that relate directly to your business. So if you have a plastic surgery practice, you might put together a "What to expect from cosmetic surgery" guide for prospective patients. If you are a heating and air conditioning contractor, you could put together an eBook about "Proactive steps homeowners can take to prevent HVAC emergencies."
You could hire a writer to write the book for you, or, if you have a blog, choose a topic and use the blog posts that relate to this topic as chapters for your book. When your eBooks educate your prospects about topics they are concerned about and solves problems for them, they will come to see you as a trusted, credible authority in your industry.
The email newsletter is another classic lead magnet. In it, you can share information with your contacts about your products, what's going on at your company, industry news, your professional insights and even customer success stories. Because people must opt-in to receive your newsletter, you end up with a captive audience. Be sure to place a newsletter sign-up box in several locations on your website and social media pages so visitors can't miss it.
This type of lead magnet is effective because it gets your contacts in the habit of opening emails from you, which can be a big help as you try to move them towards a sales. By providing consistent value in their inbox, your contacts will come to view you as a trusted expert. Furthermore, by delivering your newsletter via email, you won't get lost in all the Internet noise.
A video course or tutorial is an excellent way to educate your contacts about a specific aspect of your business and at the same time, build a connection with them. Usually the courses are delivered via email, either on a weekly or daily basis. These courses are typically fairly in-depth, and may elaborate on material you've addressed in your blog posts or elsewhere on your website. Whatever topic you cover, always incorporate the idea that your product or service is the ultimate solution to challenges your target market may be facing.
Case studies and white papers are two types of in-depth reports that provide insights into your industry, which you can share with your contacts in exchange for their contact information. The case study focuses on a situation or problem that your company helped resolve for one of your clients or a small group of clients. Ideally, readers will be able to identify with the subjects in the case study, and thus envision how your company could help them.
A white paper is a report or guide which gives an overview about a problem consumers face, and shows how a particular product, service, technology, methodology or policy can solve this situation. The white paper uses facts, statistics and quotes from researchers and industry leaders to persuade and convince the reader that you have the solution to their dilemmas.
In general, white papers and case studies should be limited in length to 3 to 5 pages, to ensure readers will get to the end of the report and your call-to-action. If your report is longer, calls-to-action can be interspersed throughout the document.
You can generate a lot of leads with these types of reports, in addition to positioning yourself as an industry leader. Case studies and white papers are particularly useful when marketing high-end products and services, to reassure consumers that what you're offering is worth the price tag.
If you are a coach or consultant of some type, offering a complimentary consultation or strategy session allows you to have a direct conversation with someone who is interested in your services. This is an excellent way to capture leads. Of course, you will have a time expense, but if you are selling high ticket services, it can definitely be worth the investment of your time.
To screen people who are not likely to become actual paying clients, ask respondents to fill out a comprehensive consultation request form. If someone is willing to fill out a long form, that is a good sign. Also, the more details you have about your leads, the better you can gauge whether you will be a good fit for them.
Just about everyone likes to take online quizzes, especially when the quiz is on a topic they're interested in and it provides personalized results. The benefit for you is after users have invested time into answering the questions, they're usually willing to provide you with their email addresses in order to receive the results. Surveys and pools can also work; once people are done giving their input, you can offer to email them the results of the survey as the lead magnet. To help with lead nurturing, offer your contacts something in addition to their results, such as personalized advice or a newsletter subscription.
Whatever topic you address, make it engaging, and have it relate directly if to your business. For instance, if you own a home recreation store, you could put together a quiz titled, "What kind of pool player are you?" Keep in mind quizzes get the majority of their traffic on social media, so try to address a topic that is likely to be shared. Be sure to embed the quizzes on all your social media accounts, as well as your website.
Another way to drive contacts towards an eventual purchase is by offering a free trial or sample of your product. This can work with everything from consumer products that are shipped via the regular mail, to digital products and computer software that are delivered electronically. For instance, software companies offer free trials of their popular software to "hook" consumers. An author might promote an eBook by giving away a sample chapter. Fitness centers pull in customers by giving away one-month trial memberships. By providing free samples or trials, you reduce any inhibitions consumers may have about your product by allowing them to test it before committing to buying it.
Normally one-page in length, cheat sheets are quick reference guides that contain key information on a particular topic. Very often the cheat sheet provides "digestible chunks" of information about an especially involved or complicated subject. Checklists are similar, but are always presented in list format; for instance, you might list steps for implementing some procedure or give step-by-step instructions for accomplishing a certain task. The topic you address in cheat sheets and checklists should directly relate to the concerns and needs of your target market, and show how you can help. By doing so, you build a connection with them.
Exactly what lead magnet is right for your business depends on your marketing goals, your target audience, and what type of product or service you are offering. The key to creating effective lead magnets is truly understanding your target market's problems and issues, what its members trust and distrust, and what makes them tick.

Former Texas Rangers All-Star catcher Ivan Rodriguez said on Friday that as he starts to think more about his possible induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, he "probably should be there."
"It's getting close," Rodriguez said. "Obviously, I would love to. I think probably the career that I had, I think probably I should be there with all those great Hall of Famers. There's nothing better than to be in the same room and have a plaque in Cooperstown right next to them."
Rodriguez, who played 21 seasons, is at Comerica Park this weekend as part of the Detroit Tigers' yearlong celebration of the 10-year anniversary of the American League championship club. He is eligible for the Hall of Fame for the first time in 2017 and will be included on ballots that will be sent to voters in December.
Results of the voting will be announced in January.
2,427 Games caught over 21 seasons by Ivan Rodriguez, the most in major-league history
Rodriguez played five seasons with the Tigers from 2004 until he was traded during the 2008 season. The 14-time All-Star, 13-time Gold Glove winner and 1996 AL MVP is a member of the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame, a special assistant to general manager Jon Daniels and a studio analyst for Rangers home TV broadcasts.
He played for the Rangers from 1991 to 2002 and again for 28 games to end 2009. He finished his career with 2,844 hits and with the most games (2,427) caught in baseball history.
