Chip Heath, co author of Made To Stick once said;
The most basic way to get someone's attention is this; Break someone's pattern!
That statement has prospecting written all over it!
Too many times, we find ourselves knee deep in a pattern of;
We call, they blow off the call and let it go to voice mail.
We call and they give us their default "We're all set" "No need" etc.
We email, they ignore the email.
These are all patterns that typically go nowhere until;
You break the pattern.
There are numerous ways to break someone's pattern like;
Asking a question
Saying something completely unexpected.
Injecting humor
Using a shocking statement
Changing your message (especially if you've been saying the same thing over and over)
I saved the best for last . . .
You can break the pattern by changing the form of outreach.
So if your potential client is used to getting phone calls and emails;
Perhaps you should try something different!
You could do something creative.
You could shoot a short 1 minute video, calling them by name and introducing yourself.
You could approach via a warm intro
You could reach out via LinkedIn or "bump into them" on another social network or their blog.
You could drop in
You could drop something off
If you know that they attend industry events, you could "bump into them" there.
And you could do something that 99.9% of the sales population DOESN'T do;
Use snail mail.
Speaking of which, have you registered for our 25 Ways To Stand Out Via Snail Mail webinar yet?
Human beings are creatures of habits and patterns which puts us in sort of a bad "stimulus response" type of thing when we prospect.
They see your caller ID, hear your voice, see your name in their inbox and;
They disregard and delete!
That's when you need to break the pattern by;
Changing things up!
And most of the ideas I suggested today take less time than beating your head against the wall and bitching to your coworkers how nobody ever gets back to you
Today is the last day to register for our 25 Ways To Stand Out With Snail Mail Webinar.
Because tomorrow (April 20th) at 11:30 am EST we go live!

TAB correspondent (and BHS baseball coach) Joe Campagna previews the Brookline High spring sports teams. First round: Baseball and girls lacrosse
Coach: Joe Campagna (22nd season)
Last season: 12-9 (lost in first round of playoffs)
Key losses: Eric Dumas, Campbell Narron, Mariano Suriel, Jonny Gold, Adam Blumberg, Henry Lucey, Aidan Connolly, Seb Dobrow
Returning players: Seniors Scott Cordner (third base), Zak Moss (second base), Nate Spielvogel (catcher/pitcher), A.J. Levine (first base/pitcher) and Shiraz Mumtaz (shortstop); juniors Ben Knopf (outfield/pitcher) and Ervin Kantardzik (outfield/pitcher)
Newcomers: Seniors Ben Doughty (outfield), Bernie Zak (pitcher), Alec Brown (outfield), Joon Lee (outfield), Chris Suazo (pitcher), Garrett Thompson (pitcher); juniors Matt Gladstone (second base), Sammy Koenig (pitcher), Jordy McKay (first base); sophomores Cooper Lev (shortstop) and David Krane (centerfield)
Overall: Despite graduating the entire starting staff, including ace Eric Dumas (Wheaton), pitching should once again be team's strength. Nate Spielvogel, who has committed to Merrimack, leads a group including A.J. Levine, Ervin Kantardzik, Sammy Koenig and Ben Knopf. Most of the starting lineup is also gone, including three Bay State Conference all-stars, among the 14 seniors who made the postseason three out of four years. The team's top hitter, Zak Moss, and Scott Cordner, are the lone returning regulars. Kantardzik is a five-tool player, who along with Speilvogel, Knopf, Shiraz Mumtaz and Jordy McKay, must help produce more runs than last year's skimpy 3.2 average that helped neutralize a league-best, 2.4 runs allowed.
Coach's quote: "We have lots of vacancies to fill, but I'm pleased with what I have seen so far, although it's been indoors. We have some good arms, but we need to stay strong defensively to compliment our pitching while improving our hitting. Lack of depth and inexperience are concerns, but I think we will win out share, as we traditionally do."
Girls lacrosse
Coach: Carrie Gross (seventh year)
Last season: 7-11
Key losses: Megan Zak, Erin Steinhouse, Laura Jacobs, Sarah Hawthorne and Taylor Hetnik
Returning players: Seniors Alice Khabituyeva and Becca Robinson; junior Michelle Hillman; sophomores Hannah Friedman-Bell and Lucy Friedman-Bell
Newcomers: Junior Noa Sklar, sophomores Becca Zagorsky and Deidre McPhee, and freshman Nora Bayer
Overall: Under Gross' guidance, BHS has been steadily increasing its numbers, along with its win total. Last year, only close losses to Dedham and Milton kept the Warriors from making a postseason appearance for the first time in more than a decade. Gross has been concentrating on taking advantage of her young team's speed and endurance, which paid off last year in a significant increase in goals. The biggest hole to fill is in goal, where Zak played at an all-star level.
Coach's quote: "This should be an exciting year for many reasons. The youth program is paying off with a number of girls arriving at BHS well-trained and ready to contribute to the cause."

Working at the Academy
Thank you for your interest in The Langley Academy - it is an exciting and fun place to work. An 11-19 academy with a thriving 6th Form, serving the young people of Langley, Slough and further afield.
Our recent expansion into a trust has served to broaden the opportunities available to our staff. As part of a trust, staff are not only able to witness the 'school for life' ethos in action but to take part and influence its development. At the Academy we believe that outstanding staff will deliver an atmosphere in which student curiosity will be ignited and learning will be student led. Many of our staff relish the idea that they will have an opportunity, should they choose, to engage with children from both the primary and the secondary phase. Read below for a more detailed view of what the Academy has to offer.
Imagine walking into school and the first thing you see is a tower of flags from around the world representing the nationalities of the students here. You look around and you spot the skeleton of a flying dinosaur floating in the middle of the cavernous atrium! To your left, a real aeroplane hangs from the ceiling and then looking down one 'wing' you see a boat, a 'single scull' called Thomi. Around you, professional standard museum display cases with priceless and ancient ceramics on loan from The Victoria and Albert Museum. Is this a museum?
The Langley Academy is not just another school - it is a new way of learning. As a member of staff, you will be part of a hard-working team who are passionate about developing our student's potential.
At The Langley Academy you can use your imagination to create new ways to ignite students' desire to learn. Our position as a Science Specialist School and national leaders in Museum Learning gives you resources and support to make your ingenious ideas a reality.
As the UK's first museum school, The Langley Academy has a museum within the building. Hanging from the Atrium ceiling, our object installations are a dramatic teaching resource. As well as the list above, we currently house international costumes, a rowing boat, a 1950's British Army car and a giant representation of the human DNA helix created by our own students.
We have a rolling programme of museum displays, combining students' own work, travelling exhibitions and loans from local and national museums. You can work with the Museum Learning team to use objects in your lessons, make visits to inspiring places or invite in guest specialists to speak on your subject.
The Langley Academy is pleased to host a Resource Base (SRB) for students with a hearing impairment. We have also built up expertise in supporting students with a visual impairment. Hence the SRB - The Sensory Resource Base.We are looking for teaching and support staff that are motivated, enthusiastic and inspiring; those who have a 'cup half full' attitude and are solution focused; self-confident, motivated and ambitious; possess excellent interpersonal skills; can make tough decisions; have sound judgement, especially when working under pressure; have a life outside of school and, very importantly, have a fantastic sense of humour.
We are ideally situated, only minutes from junction 5 of the M4, the M25, and have excellent rail links into Central London. If you chose to live here, renting is cheaper than in London, and yet you can get into town quickly and cheaply. Windsor, Marlow and Henley are close and if you enjoy weekend travelling it takes about 15 min to Heathrow Airport. We border Buckinghamshire, perhaps the most beautiful of the Home Counties, on the western edge of London, with no less than 100,000 acres which are designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty - including a substantial part of the magnificently wooded Chiltern Hills. Whether you are into the outdoors or want to be close to London, working here is ideal.
As part of our commitment to support our staff and their wellbeing, we currently offer the following support and endeavour to develop this further:
We have a comprehensive INSET programme available to all staff, both 'in-house' and 'external'. We offer a 'gold standard' NQT and ITT programme in association with our partner universities. In addition, all our teaching staff receive a laptop. The Academy hosts regular 'well-being' meetings and considers staff opinion to be of the highest importance.

By seeing through the photos scones on pinterest and instagram . I had one wish, test a recipe. Today, it's done. I was amazed at the simplicity that I had to achieve them. I tried some time ago to make a brioche but the result was not really conclusive. I was afraid that my scones will not be very good, they do not rise or they lack taste. Well no. They were very good! I am especially proud to have concocted my own recipe.
These scones are perfect for a Sunday morning. Accompanied it with jam (here is that of my grandmother) or a little butter. In England, they put whipped cream but it's a little heavy for my taste.
You can also make variations in this recipe, I put the vanilla extract for it to have a little more flavor but it's still a "nature" recipe . You can add raisins, for example, it is often what is proposed.
For 10 scones
Preparation time : 20 minutes / Cooking time : 15 minutes
What you will need :
- 2 cup (250g) flour
- 2 tbsp brown sugar (+ 1 tsp to decorate)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup (90g) soft butter cut into cubes
- 1 egg (+ 1 egg yolk for browning)
- 2 tbsp Greek Yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
1 . Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Mix in a bowl the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Add the butter and knead without coming to a totally smooth.
3. Add the egg and knead a little, then add the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. You can now mix well to get a smooth paste.
4. On a work surface, sprinkle a little flour. Place the dough and flatten it by hand so that it is about 2 cm thick. Using a cookie cutter (as you wish) as here, make the scones.
5. Spread them on a baking tray covered with baking paper. With a kitchen brush, brush them with egg yolk and sprinkle brown sugar on top. Bake at 180°C for 15 minutes.

So much has happened since I last posted, how will I ever catch up? I don't know. I probably won't and you'll miss out on all the funny things that happened since...whenever I last posted.
This weekend, Mark and I did some car work. He worked on his air conditioning unit, and I worked on replacing my radio. No really, I did it mostly by my self. You'd be so proud of me! Working like I knew what I was doing :D I have a few pictures that I got with my cell phone. So I'll post them when I finish typing, so that blogspot can mess up my paragraphs.
I ran into a few snaggles along the way. Ok, maybe more than a few. I used Mark's electric screw driver to remove the face plate around the radio and stuff. Impressed yet? Mark had to come and rescue me. I wasn't able to get the plate off, it was snapped in place, and I was afraid to break it. Passing that hurdle, I, all by my onsie, took the radio out and disconnected it. Then I was stumped. But these things always come with some directions, right? And they'd be helpful, right?
Wrong. Now I know why guys throw the directions away. I threw them away (read, I threw them into the backseat in case I did need them after all). It came with these plastic boxes with wires sticking out connected to nothing. Weren't they supposed to connect something, rather than dangle like octopus legs?? I guess I was mistaken. I called my backup. He came riding in on his white horse with...you get the point. He said all the wires are supposed to connect to each other. What the-?!? He brought these boxes of....wire connectors?...or something. Sure, he made it look easy when he crimped the thingy on the end of the wire. I was thinking, "Oh, just like crimping beads with jewelry making, huh?"
Wrong, again. I can start IV's, I can draw blood, I can attach a 12 lead EKG to a chest, I can interpret EKG rhythms, I can't replace a radio. I'm flawed!! I couldn't crimp those things to save my life! My poor little arm muscles, they were worn out. And I had only done 2, there were like 12,549 left. And you know what else?? Not all of them had a matching wire to be connected to! I was shocked! I did about half of them before I had to surrender the crimping tools to my husband. He did the other half in about 1/16th of the time it took me to do the other half. But I couldn't figure out, where the black wire attached to. I guess that's why I'm not an electrician.
We decided to see if it worked. I turned the car on, pressed the power button...nothing. turns out, I blew a fuse playing with the bazillion wires. Imagine that. Still didn't work after we replaced the fuse. Mark worked his magic and connected it to an outside power source and that proved it did work, at least outside the car. Inside the care was another story. We were both frustrated. Neither of our projects worked. His AC was still broken, and my radio was...not. I put the old one back in (no wire connecting, this time, just snapping parts together), in hopes that it would work....
Wrong, again. We drove home, him with his uncold air conditioning, me with my silent radio. My whole life of driving flashed through my head during the 3 minute drive home from the shop. How will I be able to drive more than 10 minutes without getting bored or sleepy?? How will Mark and I take long road trips?? We'll have to...t-ta-talk.
Then, Mark had this great idea that there must be another fuse that I had blown. Great, now I'll forever be known as the wife who blew both fuses in the car, trying to change the radio. Sure enough, he found it. Yay, now my old radio works! If only we had thought of that while were still at the shop.
I do have this plan to go over to the shop later today for attempt #2. I'll still have to figure out how to get it mounted in the car...I guess I'll trip over that hurdle when I get there.
Now for pictures...I think they turned out pretty good. I'll try to remember to take some today. I don't want people gawking at me, so I'll be over there later today, about 3ish, after most everyone else is gone. So perhaps by tonight you can see my new cool sounding radio :)
Gotta run!

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao toured Britain on Sunday, in a European trip aimed at cementing trade links, as Bejing freed high-profile human rights activist Hu Jia in a move seen as defusing tensions. Wen arrived in the central English city of Birmingham late on Saturday as news emerged that Hu, one of China\'s most prominent prisoners of conscience, was to be released. Beijing is seeking to gain a greater foothold in Europe, but has faced fierce criticism from the West over its human rights record and in particular a recent crackdown on dissidents. Hu, 37, was jailed on subversion charges in April 2008 after angering the ruling Communist Party through years of bold campaigning for civil rights, the environment and AIDS sufferers. His release followed that of outspoken Chinese artist-activist Ai Weiwei last week, but Hu looked likely to be similarly muzzled along with other top dissidents. Britain\'s Foreign Office has yet to give any official reaction to the release of Hu, who spent more than three years in prison. However, EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton welcomed the news but her spokesman stressed the bloc\'s demands for Beijing to ensure full freedoms are respected. And Germany said it will press human rights issues at its first joint cabinet meeting with China later this week, including the conditions of Ai\'s release, Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said. London has also been among international critics, with Foreign Secretary William Hague repeatedly speaking out against Ai\'s detention and the crackdown against activists. Wen visited England on Sunday before holding talks with British Prime Minister David Cameron on Monday and attending the UK-China summit which is an annual event during which major investment deals will be announced. The Chinese premier is on a three-country tour of Europe with 13 ministers and a large business delegation. He visited the MG car plant in Longbridge, Birmingham, which was for many years a symbol of British manufacturing dominance but is now owned by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp, which is China\'s largest automaker. Wen will later indulge his interest in Shakespeare with a visit to the bard\'s birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon, where he will be treated to a short performance. The premier, who began his trip in Hungary, will leave Britain on Monday for Germany, where he will underline his support for eurozone economies that have been rocked by a debt crisis, with Greece on the brink of a second bailout. Around the time Wen arrived in England late Saturday, China released Hu after he completed a sentence for subversion, and he returned to his home outside Beijing early Sunday morning, his wife said in a Twitter posting. \"On a sleepless night, Hu Jia arrived home at 2:30 am. Peaceful, very happy. Need to rest for awhile. Thanks to you all,\" Zeng Jinyan, also an activist, wrote on her Twitter account. Hu\'s release came several days after Ai was freed on bail after nearly three months in police custody. Foreign Secretary William Hague had given Ai\'s release only a cautious welcome, saying that \"serious questions\" remained about the circumstances of his detention and legal status. It is Wen\'s second Europe tour in just nine months, highlighting a shift in China\'s interest towards investing in the continent after having ploughed money in recent years into Africa, Australia, Latin America and the United States. Beijing has vowed to be a long term investor in the European debt market and has repeatedly expressed its confidence in the eurozone, and has invested an increasing portion of its foreign exchange reserves in euro-denominated assets.

Palace Garden GatePrint Page
The Palace Garden Gate was built to commemorate the International Exhibition of 1879.
The Sydney International Exhibition opened the doors of its main building the 'Garden Palace' on 17 September 1879 and closed them seven months later. Many figures in colonial Sydney talked of the success of the huge project and the Commissioners of the Sydney International Exhibition certainly felt it had "undoubtedly emphasized a new era in the history of the Colony, and projected the value of Australia on the minds of the inhabitants of those older countries". But the 1,045,898 visitors that passed through its gates were perhaps the most eloquent testimony to its triumph.
The Garden Palace was a large purpose-built exhibition building constructed to house the Sydney International Exhibition (1879). It was designed by James Barnet and was constructed at a cost of 191,800 Pounds in only eight months - largely due to the special importation from England of electric lighting which enabled work to be carried out around-the-clock. It was constructed primarily from timber, which was to assure its complete destruction when engulfed by fire in the early morning of September 22, 1882.
Few people passing through the gates which give access to the upper Botanical Gurdens from opposite Governor Bourke's statue, realise their significance. That they are a fine example of the ironworkers art is seen from the beautiful picture published on the front page of "The Sun" to-day. Beyond that, however, they are a permanent record of the growth of Sydney. They are designed to perpetuate the memory of the "Garden Palace," in which were housed the exhibits gathered together at the first international exhibition held in Australia. They do more than that because the design is fashioned on the chief characteristics of the exhibition building Itself. On each of the four columns are replicas of the ornamental coverings which adorned the four towers of the building, and the centre of the double gates is surmounted by a faithful representation of the dome, which was the predominating feature of the Garden Palace. On each of the two centre gates are medallions which are reminiscent of the medals distributed to successful exhibitors, and those holding official positions. The Garden Palace was burned down in 1883.
Sun (Sydney), 19 July 1923.

Hamas leaders and thousands of flag-waving supporters declared victory over Israel on Gaza's first day of calm under an Egyptian-brokered truce Thursday, as Israeli officials flew to Cairo for talks on easing a blockade on the Palestinian territory.
Eight days of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza and a barrage of Hamas rocket fire on Israel ended inconclusively. While Israel said it inflicted heavy damage on the militants, Gaza's Hamas rulers claimed Israel's decision not to send in ground troops, as it had four years ago, was a sign of a new deterrent power.
"Resistance fighters changed the rules of the game with the occupation (Israel), upset its calculations," Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas, who attended the rally, said later in a televised speech. "The option of invading Gaza after this victory is gone and will never return."
At the same time, Haniyeh urged Gaza fighters to respect the truce and to "guard this deal as long as Israel respects it."
The mood in Israel was mixed. Some were grateful quiet had been restored without a ground operation that could have cost the lives of more soldiers. Others -- particularly those in southern Israel hit by rockets over the past 13 years -- thought the operation was abandoned too quickly.
Thousands of Israeli soldiers who had been sent to the border during the fighting withdrew Thursday, the military said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the offensive's aims of halting Gaza rocket fire and weakening Hamas were achieved.
"I know there are citizens who were expecting a harsher response," he said, adding Israel is prepared to act if the ceasefire is violated.
In a development that could complicate co-operation on the ceasefire, Israel on Thursday arrested an Arab-Israeli man connected to Hamas and Islamic Jihad on accusations he planted a bomb on a bus in Tel Aviv that wounded 27 people in the hours before the agreement was announced Wednesday, police said.
A Palestinian militant cell based in the West Bank village of Beit Lakiya dispatched the man, who lived in the village of Taybeh in Israel, to put a bomb on the bus, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. He then got off and called his handlers, who remotely detonated the explosive by calling the phone, Rosenfeld said.
"He admitted to carrying out the terrorist attack," said Rosenfeld.
Attacks by Israeli Arabs are rare, though they have happened.
Nevertheless, the ceasefire raised hopes of a new era between Israel and Hamas.
A senior Israeli official and three aides arrived in Cairo late Thursday and were escorted to Egypt's intelligence headquarters, according to Egyptian airport officials, presumably to hammer out the details of a deal that would include easing a blockade of the territory.

This is what i find baffling
How can HAMAS claim victory, they lost more than 160 people(ciilians and militants), their Iranin made rockets didnt hit any target inside Israel as Iron Dome performed superbly, Israel hit many targets inside GAza ,Jews killed HAMAS arm wing leader.
Whats logic behind these claims when its obvious that hamas got hammered over the past week and israel is unscratched
Why Palestinians dont value their lives as Israelis do theirs, If israel lost 160 people that would be catastrophy
I know they trying to boost moral of people but common this is no brainer, people are not that brainwashed not to see that HAMAS got f***ed right up the ass

SELFSINGAPORE: I need your advice for my friend who works for a company in Singapore that is headed by a former MP. Due to doxxing rules, I can't really say which company and who she is but I did my research and according to my friend, she's a real piece of work:
Her foreign domestic worker / maid goes to her office to perform cleaning duties in the office
She has a chauffeur that also doubles as the receptionist of her office
When she fired the tea lady, she made the Pinoy IT guy the tea lady instead. His new duties included making coffee, tea and snacks for the Exec team. He quit in a week
Part of the job was to order food for clients, she would purposely order less than the required amount. Her maid would then pack a plate for her own consumption. Left-overs are packed again for her own maids (Yeah, more than one). When the maids say that the food is spoiled after a few days, she tells them too bad, she has taken care of their meals
She repeated berates employees and demeans them to carry out menial tasks
Commission scheme was changed within a day because an employee made too much sales
The business relies on 100% government subsidy but she still charges unsuspecting clients
The turnover is insanely high, at least one employee a week
Employee job scopes are fluid and often people perform multiple jobs week to week. IE: Marketing girl becomes Business Development with no consultation
I asked my friend to report her to MOM but he says that she has friends in the Ministry including the Minister of Manpower Lim "Heng Ah" Swee Say and Josephine "Don't need a lot of space to Bang" Teo.
I am keen to do some justice but I am unsure how other than calling MOM on her.
