In Fear for Your Career?
There sure is a lot of stress in America over careers. Students in colleges are careful to pick their career paths and get their specific degrees. They carefully survey each corporation, which tries to recruit from the campus.Then once employed they start to make a decent wage and then are troubled by economic and industry factors and fear they might lose their jobs and go into bankruptcy, lose their home and destroy their credit rating. Are you in fear for your career? Did you know you are not alone and that 67% of all Americans are very worried that they might lose their jobs?You would think with unemployment at an all time low of 4.7% that folks would not fear losing their job. And you would think that if people did fear losing their job that they would not go out and get in more debt with new cars, credit cards and a new home to boot? Nevertheless this

ltilevel marketing companies "makes it" (I really do), and I hope that people line up to purchase her $4 a day vitamin...and definitely hope she won't lose any friends as a result. And of course, I hope I can have a conversation with her again which does not involve talking about her multilevel marketing company. Miracles do happen, and God can cause nice girls to talk to you for reasons that don't involve becoming a member of their multilevel marketing companies...

Having said all of this, there is an alternative to multilevel marketing companies if you want to earn extra money. Many people earn money online as affiliates through "internet marketing", which does not require you to bug your friends and family to join. Ebay.com, Walmart.com, and Amazon,com are just a few of the many companies which have affiliate programs, and all will pay you a commission for any sales generated through your affiliate link.

A few weeks ago days ago, I saw a friend I haven't seen for a while in a Starbucks coffee shop. Since it looked like she might have been on a date...and because I was running late for work, I didn't say hi, but instead decided to email her later on to ask about her "hot date". The next day, I get this email from her. It went something like this:

"Keith, we need to talk! Call me if I don't call you first!"

I thought, "great, she's ticked off because I said 'hot date'". I really didn't mean it in a bad way...

We talked later that night, and it turned out she wasn't mad at me at all. In fact, she said she had been thinking of me, and didn't mean anything by the way her email came across. I thought it was really cool that she had been thinking about me, after all, she's a really neat girl.

But then the unthinkable happened. She dropped the "MLM" bomb. She had been thinking about me because she wanted to know if I was interested in joining her multilevel marketing company. Noooooooooooooooooooo!

The funny thing is that the LAST time we hadn't talked for a while, she wanted to talk to me about joining her multilevel marketing company as well. So, here is a nice girl who I hardly ever hear from...who I only get to talk to when it involves joining her multilevel marketing company.

Now, aside from the fact this girl only seems to want to talk to me when it involves joining her multilevel marketing company, the interesting part about this story is that the two MLM bombs she dropped on me were two different multilevel marketing companies, both of which, of course, were the best thing since sliced bread. If you are not familiar with what happens when someone wants you to join their multilevel marketing company, it goes something like this:

To get people interested, you frequently have to bug your friends and family to try to get them to join the multilevel marketing company. You usually have to ask people to go to a hotel to watch some millionaire "guru" speak, who can solve all of your problems, except, of course, the problem that deals with why nice girls only talk to you when they want you to join their multilevel marketing companies.

Like all multilevel marketing companies, you discover that this millionaire multilevel marketing company guru speaking at the hotel won the Nobel Peace Prize for inventing the world's most advanced toilet paper, which when used at night, cures cancer. You find out that you can get rich if you pay something like $200 to start selling this really advanced toilet paper, and of course the multilevel marketing company doesn't make a dime off of the $200 you spend to join the company...

So you decide to join the multilevel marketing company and all of the sudden you are out $200, which you had to borrow from your father's sister's friend's roommate. What do you get for your $200? You get a really nice welcome packet of high tech toilet paper, which is hand crafted in the Himalayas, and sells for $49.99 a roll.

Does this sound far fetched? Well, actually its not. The first multilevel marketing company my friend joined cost her about $149 to join. The second one cost close to $500 to join. I wanted to be supportive of her in both cases, so instead of going to the hotel meetings to watch the MLM "guru" speak, I thought that perhaps I could purchase one of her products.

It didn't work out the way I had hoped. In the first case, I didn't want to pay something like $15 for the world's best shaving cream, and in the second case, I didn't want to pay $4 a day for the world's most high tech vitamin (yes, the vitamin really does cost $4 a day!).

So where am I going with all of this? The reason I stay away from multilevel marketing companies is because people usually don't want to be bothered with a sales pitch to get started with an multilevel marketing program they have never heard of, nor do they want to fork out huge amounts of cash for over priced products you can get at the local grocery store for 75% less.

Just how do multilevel marketing companies make their money, anyway? Well, if you can get someone to spend $500 to join the multilevel marketing company, which most people will fail at, then you don't need to sell a single $120 bottle of vitamins to consumers, because you have already made a ton of cash from the sign up fees. In fact, at $500 a sign up, the multilevel marketing company will make $5,000 for every 10 people who sign up, and $50,000 for every 100 people who sign up without making a single sale to the consumer. Multiply that times who knows how many conferences are going on in who knows how many cities, and you can see how profitable MLMs can be for the "guru" who owns the company.

Do some people "make it" with multilevel marketing companies? Sure. They probably don't have any friends left, but some people do "make it". I sincerely hope that my friend who joined the two multilevel marketing companies "makes it" (I really do), and I hope that people line up to purchase her $4 a day vitamin...and definitely hope she won't lose any friends as a result. And of course, I hope I can have a conversation with her again which does not involve talking about her multilevel marketing company. Miracles do happen, and God can cause nice girls to talk to you for reasons that don't involve becoming a member of their multilevel marketing companies...

Get It Right
Inaccurate information can cause problems that range from the minor - misspelled names on billing statements - to the disastrous - late deliveries that cause the customer to lose business. Take the time on every phone call to make sure the information you get is clear and accurate.Here are some tips to help you get accurate information from customers on the telephone:1. Speak slowly and clearlyStudies show that people on the phone unconsciously match the tone and pacing of their speech to that of the other person on the line. By speaking slowly and clearly, you will set the stage for customers to speak that way too - which prevents mistakes and misunderstandings.2. Concentrate on this call aloneIf you are thinking of something else while the customer is talking, you could easily miss important information. Whatever else

Freight Brokering - Stuck in the Middle
First, the freight broker is never legally liable for damaged cargo or missing pieces unless they assume this by contract or if they are negligent in their operations. So, what does he or she do when these problems arise (and they will at one time or another)?The broker should be ready to talk to the receiver, the shipper and the carrier when these problems arise. But it's up to the shipper to file a claim should they decide to. The shipper often times assesses a dollar amount of damage and then deducts it from what they owe the broker. And the broker then turns around and deducts it from the motor carrier.This is not the right way to do it. But this is the way many shippers choose to do it. And the broker has no control over how the shipper wants to handle this.Second, there are all kinds of issues that may arise when there is damaged cargo or missi

Tales from the Corporate Frontlines:Choosing an Effective Employee Recognition Program
This article relates to the Recognition competency, commonly evaluated in employee satisfaction surveys. It tells the story of how one company found the right recognition program by paying attention to employee feedback. This competency also explores what type of behavior is appreciated and rewarded within your organization. Studies show that employees who receive regular recognition and praise are more likely to increase their individual productivity levels, increase engagement with their colleagues, and stay longer at the organization. Evaluating this competency can be especially useful if your organization is experiencing low productivity levels or ineffective teamwork.This short story, Choosing an Effective Employee Recognition Program, is part of AlphaMeasure's compilation, Tales from the Corporate Frontlines. It tells the story of how one company found the r

How To Use The Phone For Your Home Party Business
You've established your home party business, and now it's time to get to work. But the phone is standing in your way! What's your fear? Is it the fear of rejection? Let's discuss what you can do about it and how it can help your home party business.The prospect might reject the product, service, or home party business opportunity you are offering.Make the commitment to make the phone call anyway. You never know when hearing your voice and what you have to offer just might be what that prospect needs at that specific moment in time. And if not, leave them with a cheery attitude that lets them know you are there when/if their needs change. Remember, the only person you can control is you. Do what you can and accept that there will be some people who truly are not interested in what you have to offer from your home party business. Respect th

The great thing about affiliate programs is that you don't have to go to any hotels to watch some "guru" speak to get started. Since you are promoting digital products or referring consumers to company websites, you don't have to keep stockpiles of overpriced inventory no one wants. Last but not least, your success isn't dependent on signing other people up under you, since the commissions you generate are high enough for you to earn a living on your own. For example, I know of a weight loss ebook you can promote, which sells online for $39.99, and your commission is 50% of purchase price, minus a small transaction fee (your commission after the fee is about $18.33). So, sell 5 of these weight loss ebooks a day from your website, and you will earn just under $100.00.

So, after you have made some money from affiliate programs, the next time you get a call from a really nice girl you haven't heard from in four months since the last time she told you about her multilevel marketing company, you can decline the invitation to watch a speech by an MLM guru who invented toilet paper which cures cancer, and instead you can take her out to Starbucks.
