Merchant Account Vocabulary

By Bobbie McKee

In this new age of ecommerce, more and more people, even without a formal business background, want to go into an online business. Almost all of online businesses, even the large ones, need a merchant account. Here are some of the jargons that online business owner wannabes must understand first before finally taking their baby steps in setting up their business.

Credit Card

A credit card is a small plastic card which allows a consumer to purchase a product or service through a line credit issued by a bank or a merchant account. It is activated by a Personal Identification Number (PIN) that is accessible only by the owner of the card. The card itself has an electronic system that goes into a system of payment scheme involving the merchant and the issuing bank. The size and shape of the credit card must comply with the regulations set by the ISO 7810.

Merchant Account

A merchant account is an agreement between the merchant and an acquiring bank in which the merchant could accept payments through credit cards through an extended line of credit given by the bank. The merchant account maybe provided by either a bank that is directly processes transactions with Visa and MasterCard or by an Independent Selling Organization/Member Service Provider (ISO/MSP). The costs of setting up a merchant account depend on the type of the product, expected sales and the process of how transactions are made.

3-Tier Pricing

This is the most popular pricing scheme for most merchant account providers. Depending on the situation on how was it done, the transaction will be classified into three groups: non-qualified, mid-qualified and qualified. The less qualified the transaction is, the more it will be charged. A transaction that is done according to what is set and defined by the merchant is considered to be "more" qualified.

Payment Gateway

A payment gateway, as what its name suggests, provides the channel in which encrypted information is exchanged between the consumer, the merchant account provider, the merchant, the acquiring bank and the issuing bank. This makes sure the information exchanged is accurate and that it will be exclusively used by the involved parties only.

Chargeback

A chargeback often results from a dispute between the customer and the merchant. This is when a transaction is returned by the costumer into the acquiring bank, and ultimately, to the merchant. A customer files a chargeback when he/she finds that the product does not meet his/her expectation, when the product was not delivered properly or was not delivered at all, or when the transaction itself is fraudulent. The merchant may avail a chargeback insurance to protect himself/herself in the event of a chargeback.

Electronic Commerce

Electronic Commerce or eCommerce basically refers to the commercial activities that are carried out through the internet. Aside from selling, it also includes activities like inventory management, supply chain management, exchange of business information and management of online funds. Due to the increased flux of businesses taking advantage of the accessibility of the internet, there was also an increase of ecommerce merchant account providers.

Some ecommerce merchant account providers do more than managing the transactions between the consumers, the acquiring bank and the issuing bank. They also take care of the technical side of putting up the online store, like website hosting, maintenance and design.

Building Your Landing Page

By Steve Blalock

Before you get started creating your landing page, you will need a number of things to a) make your offer actually have a point; and b) facilitate the creation of your landing page.

One thing you absolutely must have before you get started is an autoresponder. Without any autoresponder, you are tossing potential bags of money in the garbage. Rather than creating a relationship with customers and potential customers " and giving yourself the opportunity to attempt future upsales -- you're allowing them to leave and never return.

In addition to an autoresponder, you must have an actual offer that people want to buy. You may want to develop a product, such as an ebook or a piece of software. If you don't have the skills to do either, you can always hire a professional to do it for you through elance.com or guru.com. You will then either want to sell this product and attempt to get subscribers from your thank you page " or you will want to get subscribers by offering the product for free (which is what many Internet marketers now do).

Another thing you must have before you get started is a check out service. You may want to consider Google Check Out, Paypal, a Shopping Cart Service, Click Bank, Sale Flurry, or 2 Check Out. All of these services will allow you to make transactions quickly.

You also need a set of graphics, which usually includes a graphic header, a check out button, background wallpaper, and a half-decent picture of yourself. You can probably provide the picture of yourself, but you might want to hire a professional to do the rest.

The final item you will need before you can get started on your landing page is some way in which to create a realistic signature. Http://www.vletter.com is probably your best bet; but, if you're on a budget, you may want to opt for simply using a wordprocessing program.

IM Success

By Kilo Vanice

Get more from: Sharpening Drill. There is no one single Internet marketing strategy, as there are hundreds of them, with dozens available for every step of the business growth towards optimal working rates. Divided into short and long term models, the groups of techniques and strategies often get adjusted along the way, depending on the business evolution and sometimes on the steps taken by the competition. For short term purposes, forum participation, purchase advertising, search engine optimization could represent solutions and indicate a correct Internet marketing strategy to adopt. On the other hand, the steady stream of targeted customers comes from creating freebies, site content updates, opt-in lists and so on.

The success formula results from the combined use of strategies so that the web site traffic becomes relevant and increases the return on investment several times. The overall Internet marketing strategy has to be a smart and complex one that would take all the elements into consideration especially the specificity of the business.

Even in the same field of activity, two companies will not have the same working background and identical features: and individuality will often make a business stand out.

Professional consultancy agencies will always start the collaboration with their clients by figuring out the things business owners want to achieve through a certain Internet marketing strategy. Moreover, it is only after the preliminary steps are taken that the experts can move on to the marketing plan.

Thus, some web developers will only need tips and suggestions, others will require answers for their Internet marketing strategy unclarity, while others will choose full packages of assistance and business monitoring. The costs for such services will vary according to complexity, therefore, you have to know how much money is at stake before firmly contracting a certain consultancy service.

In most cases, when one becomes interested in growing an Internet marketing strategy it is clear that one is after a better money and time use so that a state of affairs may give maximum of profit. Don't hesitate to analyze all sorts of ideas from informative resources particularly when all you need is a tip or point to find the right direction. In time, one strategy won't be enough since the objectives change with every arising opportunity, and adjustments, changes and focus shifts will become part of the regular business management. Lack of plans and strategies on the other hand cause discontinuity in the marketing efforts, and the business path will be taken by guessing not by knowing.

Catching the Frisbee

By Bobbie McKee

Many people love to play Frisbee especially on the beach and in other open spaces. Some individuals also tend to create or develop their own moves so that they can receive added praise from spectators. Very few individuals develop good skills in Frisbee because most players simply want to have fun and they often think that learning to throw and catch the Frisbee is enough in order to play the game.

Have you ever tried catching the Frisbee between the knees or legs while you're on the ground? How about catching it while you're on air? If you want to learn to do these things, check out these cool steps so that you can be guided.

Firstly, you need to judge or estimate where the flying disc or Frisbee will land. See how the other player throws the disc and make an estimate. If you've been playing Frisbee for a very long time, this task will be very easy for you.

Once you've estimated where the Frisbee will land, go to that exact spot. Make sure that the Frisbee will land on your shins when you're standing still and upright. If you're a bit far from the spot, you can run or jog so that you can get there on time.

When you finally reach the spot, you need to spread both of your legs. After that, bend the knees and do a crouching position. You have to ensure that your fingers can touch the ground from the crouching position.

Drop your arms to your back. Bend the catching arm's elbow around the thigh and try to extend your hands between the legs. The palms should face up and the thumb should also be pointing up. Keep your eyes on the flying disc and catch it. To catch the flying disc, pinch the thumb to the fingers. That's how you can catch the disc between the legs. Other players will surely make a fuss over your move.

Catching the flying disc on air is also a great stunt that you can try. Again, you will need to estimate or judge where the Frisbee will land. After that, you need to go to the spot there the disc will land. Jumping to catch the disc is very important and it should be properly timed. You have to ensure that once you jump, the disc will be there in front of you. Drop both your arms behind the body. Follow the same procedures mentioned earlier. Catching the disc on air between the legs is definitely a spectacular move. Well, this is not to show off your talent or move but it's a way of making the game more interesting and fun.

The second stunt is a bit difficult so you need to catch a floating disc at first. Once you've mastered it, you can already try catching discs which are darting towards you. Do not attempt to engage in a strenuous activity like Frisbee is you have any health conditions. If you're suffering from any ailment, you need to consult your physician before you start playing Frisbee.

Frisbee is a physical activity and it uses up a lot of energy. You need to be prepared for this game because it is a very active sport or game. Try the stunts or moves mentioned above and if you master them, other players will surely follow.

Business Resources - Search Engine Optimization and Advertising

By Melinda Mahrer

In today's net-savvy world it has become common for any business to have a website which they use mostly for advertising their products and services. With the advent of search engines it has become even easier for the customers to search for the stuff online. For a website to be successful its link should land in the first three pages which the search engine brings and the rank of the page should be high which means many visitors come to the site. This can be achieved by applying search engine optimization or popularly known as SEO. This is a marketing strategy which increases the calibre and quantity of traffic flow to a particular website via search engines.

SEO not only affects the search engine results, but also image search, video search and industry specific vertical search engines. It determines how a search algorithm functions and searches what is popular with people. When a website link is submitted to a search engine, a spider crawls through a page to gather links which lead to other pages and stores those pages on the server of the search engine. The information collected from these pages is sent to the indexer, whose job is to extract information from those pages such as the keywords and their weights, the location of the page and other links that are stored for the spider to crawl in future.

Meta tags provided information about a particular page, but using them for indexing the pages didn't prove to be successful as some Webmasters added irrelevant Meta tags to increase the number of hits and earn huge ad revenue. They even changed the HTML of the web pages to achieve a good rank for the page. But this was a case of abuse as it fetched irrelevant pages.

Search engines then began utilizing complex ranking algorithm, which were difficult for the webmasters to manipulate so as to provide web surfers with genuine results. The rank of the web page was calculated mathematically by functions using strength and quantity of the inbound links. The higher the rank of the page the more chances it had to be viewed by a person. Later algorithms were developed which considered various other on-page factors such as rank and off-page factors such as hyperlink. Since the webmasters couldn't manipulate the page rank, they began exchanging, selling and buying links, which lead to link spamming and even creation of numerous sites dedicated for this purpose.

Algorithms became more complex by every passing day and top search engines kept their algorithms a secret. As the cost of SEO increased, advertisers were roped in to pay for it, which finally resulted in high quality web pages. Although investing in SEO is very fruitful, but at the same time is risky because with out any prior notice the algorithms being used are bound to change and the search engine will stop directing visitors to the page. Many consultants are available in the market that provides SEO services. They manipulate the HTML source code of the web site like menus, shopping carts and sometimes even the content of the website to draw more traffic.

Search engines like Yahoo has algorithms that extract pages not according to the page rank but according to the cost per click or set fee, that is if a advertiser desires that the page containing his ad be displayed, he is expected to pay money for it.

Google Ad Words explores ads which have words typed in the search box by the surfer. The Million Dollar Homepage started the concept of Pixel advertising, which is a graphical kind of advertising. Depending on the pixels, the space is sold to the advertiser. Keyword advertising involves advertisers who buy URLs of a site and place their ads at that location. Thus SEO is a market in its own which is yielding great results for businesses on Internet.

Get Rich, Maintain Sanity - The Forex Market

By John Eather

There are few things as nail biting as dealing in the foreign exchange market. You can make a great deal of money very quickly, and you can lose a great deal even faster. If you are of a nervous disposition, then it is not the place for you. Even those with nerves made of steel can end up gibbering wrecks by trading in the FOREX, however here are a few guidelines that should help you to get rich and retain your sanity.

Do you want to trade in the foreign exchange market? Setting limits and deciding what you want to accomplish is where you must start. How much money do you want to make and how much are you willing to lose? Make sure that the risk is worth whatever the outcome may be. Once you find your center, stay with that pace and do not exceed it.

Being a good forex trader means staying calm. Do not let your emotions take over your good business sense. This is something that you must do to maintain your sanity. Use logic, analysis and statistical information to help you succeed. Be like a poker player by using your poker face and not showing your emotions and knowing the risk you are taking.

Of course, nobody succeeds all the time in the forex trading market. Nobody is perfect! Be aware that you will make mistakes as that is just the way it is. Using the guidlines in the following paragraphs can help you succeed and maintain your sanity.

First and foremost, decide how you want to accomplish your goals. Do not make the mistake of starting without some sort of plan in place. Even if this is not the right plan for you, it is a starting point and you must have a starting place.

What kind of plan do you need? First, start with where you will get your information. Next, decide who you can trust and who you cannot when it comes to finding the information you desire. You will need help to make these decisions. Find someone you can trust and learn from. Remember these initial goals.

Ok, now we have two very distinct ways of playing the forex market game. It seems like no one agrees on which way is better. There is the instinctual approach in trying to figure out how the market is moving based on past events, trends or politics using various mathematical programs to help you make decision. The other way of looking at this is from a purely statistical manner. You have to figure out which of these ways is right for you.

In summary, decide what your goals are, make a plan, decide which type of trader you are more comfortable being and go, go, go! Using just these outlined rules you may actually make some money and not be the blubbering idiot sitting in the corner. Don't forget, this is an exciting time, have fun with it.

Sound Home Based Business Advice, Know Web 2.0

By Matt and Catherine Willis

Many people view current social media and social networking tools as new and untried. These web sites are designed around helping people network and build relationships via online, instead of the more traditional face-to-face networking meetings. It is a great meeting place for those who want to bounce ideas back and forth with each other and receive important home based business advice.

First and foremost, you?ll need a list of all the social networking sites, social bookmarking sites, news submission sites, blogs, video sharing sites, etc. There are various sources for this information, including searching Google for key words in your niche, and also searching terms like ?social networking?. Oh and don't forget to create a blog about yourself and your business and use social networking sites to promote it.

Networking is one of the best ways for a solo-preneur to get out from what can easily become your lonely office. This is the single most important statement that anyone can receive for home based business advice. Networking sites are not only the latest fad advertising available but a serious mechanism for getting your site seen if used correctly. Examples include social networking sites such as YouTube and MySpace, blogging and wikis.

Also, some marketing professionals offer social networking packages to do it all for you, so you don't have to manage it or even learn much about it. Obviously the more time you (or someone on your team) can devote to social networking, the faster you'll see results. First, there are some 200 social networking sites out there and I'm sure that number continues to grow.

"American Idol" and Starbucks have profile pages on the social networking site MySpace, and Coca-Cola last summer created an ad just for YouTube. Among that group, 45 percent have a profile on at least one social networking site, and respondents rank business development as the top reason they use such sites. Others are more cautious about the practical limitations to wide scale adoption of social media and social networking. If you are looking for sound home based business advice, you can find tons of useful information on these sites.

This is ironic as the separation of content and presentation makes the design of these alternative interfaces trivial. The concept of linking was a real breakthrough that drastically improved the user's process of finding content. This means that those who use the content can also contribute to it.

4 Benefits Of Custom Technical Furniture

By One Pointe Blogger

While custom technical furniture may be thought of as a luxury by some, it really isn't. It's a bottom-line investment in the future of any company's most valuable asset -- its employees. Following is why, and three other benefits companies receive by investing in custom technical furniture.

Custom Technical Furniture Promotes Good Employee Health:

There are many occupations where employees sit for long periods of times: eg, air traffic controllers, word processors, computer programmers, etc. Over time, injuries and/or simple body discomforts can occur. For example, back aches, back strain, leg cramps, etc. All of this can be prevented with ergonomically correct furniture.

Custom Technical Furniture Saves Space:

Custom technical furniture allows employers to maximize their office square footage because pieces are built to exact specifications.

Skilled custom technical furniture makers will work in partnership with you to create pieces that fit your work space like a glove. This allows employers to not only maximize space, but employee workflow as well.

Custom Technical Furniture Means Style!:

Custom technical furniture overflows with design options. You can have workstations, for example, built from stainless steel, wood and polychrome. Various finishes are also offered - everything your design palette needs to be pleased.

Custom Technical Furniture Can Save You Money:

How can custom technical furniture save you money? Quite simply, by maximizing the space you're already in. When you maximize current space, you're highly unlikely to want - or need - to relocate to another space.

Consider this: which costs more - to build a new workstation, or find, pack and relocate your entire office and relocate to another space? The choice is obvious -- investing in custom technical furniture definitely saves money!

By Jeff Blake

Is your company in need of industrial robot solutions? Robotic technology has come a long way technologically and is now applicable in a large number of industries. These robots can perform a variety of functions. Engineers have altered the designs of these robots in order to accommodate diverse needs. These robots are available in many different sizes and with various modifications so that they are able to perform in numerous industrial environments.

Four-axis robots are amongst the smallest and most affordable units that are available to assist you in production. These robots offer superior speed and repeatability and are very compact in design. They are available in clean room models and models that are tolerant of both dust and mist. If you are looking for a small industrial robot for pick and placing, these models would serve you well.

There are 5-axis articulated robots that are compact and energy efficient. These articulated robots can perform a number of tasks and they will save you space. The new models are first-rate in design and in speed and repeatability. While they are still smaller and more compact in design, they can handle a higher payload and are able to utilize five articulated joints for movement.

If you are looking for a robot that can handle a heavy load, and supply you with high speed and outstanding repeatability, there are six-axis articulated models. These models make the ideal handling robot. An efficient handling robot must be able to take on a higher payload.

A handling robot is ideal for a number of industrial tasks. Material handling covers a broad spectrum of applications that may involve moving, selecting or packing products. Material handling robots may be used to move, feed or transfer parts from one location to the next or from one machine to another.

Regardless of your industrial robot needs, there are a number of automated solutions that are available. Robotic technology has been vastly improved upon in order to accommodate a number of industrial needs.

Robot manufacturers have significantly reduced the size of robotic components so that they may now serve as viable solutions in smaller spaces. If you were intimidated by the larger robotic models there are now a number of much more compact versions available.

Robotic automation has become widely used in a number of industries including: electronic, automotive, pharmaceutical, medical, food manufacturing, chemical, plastic, steel, and countless others. Many industrial plants are integrating robotic technology into as many phases of manufacturing as possible in order to increase the speed and accuracy of their production.

How To Win The Job: Tell Them What They Need To Know...And Nothing Else

By Bruce J. Bloom

For an employer with a job to fill, the selection process is a matter of weeding out the candidates who are wrong for the job, until only the right one is left. For you to be that successful candidate, you have to keep from being weeded out, and that means you must not come across in a way the boss believes is negative.

Consider the boss's problem. He/she must take a group of, say, ten candidates and determine which one will become the new employee. The solution: Find reasons to weed out nine of the candidates, and hire the one who's left. (Unless, of course, none of them makes the cut, in which case the boss must find a new group of candidates and start the game all over again.)

It's a process that takes valuable time, and is costly to the company. The employer is often more interested in solving the problem quickly than he/she is in being objective and fair. Show even the smallest evidence of a negative in your background or your character, and you could find yourself disqualified.

When the boss is all done, there's one successful candidate, and nine who are unsuccessful.

Generally, the person who gets the job, even if there are only two or three candidates to start with, is the one who steadfastly refuses to give the boss a reason to weed him/her out. Bosses tend to play it safe, reasoning that if a candidate has no negatives, chances are he/she can do the job with little risk. You must convince the employer that you have what it takes to do the job, and no negatives that might stand in your way.

Before you can convince the boss you're the right one for the job, you must know what he/she is looking for. Don't try to sell yourself, in an interview or a letter, on the basis of your background or abilities, until you have reason to believe the boss sees them as assets. If the boss sees them as liabilities, you lose.

Don't ever forget, the employer is looking for reasons to disqualify candidates. There are ten of you, but just a single job.

If you make the case that you're an independent thinker, you could be cutting your own throat, because this company has strong centralized management. They want employees who will execute ideas that come from the top. Tell them you think independently and they'll believe you're a maverick. Result: you're out.

Volunteer that you voted as a Democrat, and you may find you"re talking to a staunch Republican who thinks you're nothing but a liberal spendthrift. So you're out.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with being an independent thinker or a Democrat. If they hired you, you'd do a fine job. But until you know something about the preferences of the company and your interviewer, keep such extraneous information to yourself. It means nothing about your ability to do the job, but it can get you disqualified.

Don't volunteer anything about yourself until you know the employer will perceive it as an asset. Until you know what he/she is looking for, keep your own counsel.

If you don't reveal something about yourself, it just doesn't exist, and you won't have to fight to explain it.

Here's An Easy Way To Make Money By Trading Currencies Online

By Grant Dougan

Forex trading is now one of the hottest growing money making ideas that individuals are taking a chance with. Currency markets offer people the chance to bring in some sizeable cash and many people are getting into these markets due to the cash they can earn.

Forex trading, just like other types of stock trading, means buying low and selling high. In this case, as you know, you're trading currencies instead of shares. And just like shares, currency prices grow and fall in price every day. If you acquire an undervalued currency - let's assume at 48 cents for every currency unit - and later unload it once the prices increases, you'll make profits. This is how currency trading operates.

Even though we understand this looks simple in principle, there are a number of details you must consider before you dive into forex trading. One of the immediate things you'll see is that there are numerous currencies - it's next to impossible to keep track of all of them. Most traders will pay attention to just a small number. Of course the biggest question is, how do you discover when is the good time to buy and unload?

Luckily, you can find forex market analyzing softwares that can generate money for you. These programs are programmed by master traders and computer programmers and can supervise the currency markets for you. These software programs will locate the currencies with the largest money making potential, but they will also examine currency market data to determine exactly when is the best time to purchase or sell.

And don't worry about these computer programs being challenging to utilize - they are typically very simple. A nice feature that most programs will give you is a demonstration mode. This lets you utilize the program without having to use any real money so you can monitor how the software does. This is a great feature and one that I encourage you to look for.

You can test out the software risk free, since respected companies will offer a money back promise. This allows you to try out the program and see if it is as strong as it promises to be. Naturally, you'll can also find out if the software provides you with the additional cash you're hoping to generate from the forex markets.

It's natural to be a tad shy to get into currency trading if you are brand new. Thankfully, with a currency trading software program, much of the difficulty of forex trading can be washed away. Particularly in the beginning, new forex traders will get a big jumpstart from relying on the reliable trading discoveries of the program to make money generating trades.

As your knowledge of the currency markets picks up, you will most likely execute trades coming from your own hunches and also based on what the program tells you. It's However it's still wise to use a currency trading program even after you are out of the starter's stage. Using a trading program will generate for you some extra cash, but it will also help in educating you about the currency markets.

Improving your Phone skills with Call Center Training

By Tyson Daniel

Do you know what a dial is worth to your business? Would you like to improve your dial to scheduled ratio? Do you feel you could sell more if you could see more prospects? The telephone for most of us is where it happens. If we have difficulty selling the appointment, we may never have the opportunity to tell how great our product is for the prospect. You have a line between you and that prospect, and you better be "equipped" when a live one answers. With the appropriate Call Center Training and Customer Service Training, you can handle the obstacles and objections that are stopping your business from achieving its full potential. Here are some pointers that can improve your dialed to scheduled ratio:

Most importantly, have a purpose when you call. Know the highlights of the product, but don't delve into the minutia. Most call center training experts will tell you that the objective of any first contact should be to introduce yourself, the company, the product and ask for a follow up call. However, many businesses hear their rep's inundating callers with so much detail-oriented "stuff", it oftentimes scares them off. Just sell the next appointment. After the greeting, have a purpose. Most call center training research indicates that people lose interest after a few seconds. So, keep it brief, polite, and to the point. Anyone who has been enrolled in any customer service training of any repute knows that most any call should begin, "Hello, the purpose of my call is"

Have some sizzle in your pitch, a big fat claim. This is typically called a 30 second commercial, which is approximately 16-20 words, and it has to be compelling enough that they want to see you. In other words, start out "The purpose of my call today is to ask the opportunity to show you our new product that does this and that and saves you such and such." This is precisely that sort of advice you can expect to hear during any call center training workshop, and it usually makes the difference between a good business model and a bad one. You need only pique their interest. Of course, you'll find this difficult without a good product, so that's first and foremost. Next you'll need to supplement it with excellent customer service which comes only through rigorous customer service training.

Finish the call using an Alternate Choice Close. When requesting an appointment, call center training tells us it's best to offer alternative times, i.e., "Are mornings or afternoons usually better for you? What's better Wednesday at 9am or Thursday at 3pm?" This trick puts you in control of the call while offering options that prevent the "I'm too busy" Whatever you do, do not limit their choices. However, presenting too few choices can scare them off as well. Present a few options, then say something like "If neither of those times work for you, is there a better day?" Customer service training from professionals will help your employees present your company in the best possible light by using these time-tested techniques.

Defer the Objection and be prepared for resistance: Know how to handle objections and tell them you will take that into consideration when you get together. The prospect will give you answers to questions you did not ask! Call center training experts agree that the best way to handle objections is to present options and, in a sense, make assumptions. You are not asking for a meeting. You are assuming that you will have a meeting, and you'd like to when is best. Again, this technique follows from what most experts agree is the best way to defer objections and ultimately get the most out of the customer service training you have spent potentially hundreds if not thousands on, during on-site training. Your statement might be something like, "I understand your concern, other clients use the same system you have, and I will take that into consideration, (name) when we get together, when would be a good time to get together, Thursday at ___ or_____?"

Attitude. Is yours poor? How do customers react to your voice? Remember, they can hear when you're smiling and when you're frowning. Another important point to consider is the volume and tenor of your voice. If you're a bossa profundo, you could be intimidating customers. If you're a castrato, you could be annoying some customers. Whatever the case may be, just recognize when you need more or less bass in your voice. Good customer service training tells us to sound poised and professional. Always remember a prospect's nickname. Take good care of your voice. Call center training experts know regular phone users have frequent aches in their necks and throats, so get exercise and NO ice with drinks, as it can constrict your voice. And most importantly, BREATHE. Have you ever spoken with a telemarketer that couldn't stop to take a breath because they were too worried about you hanging up on them? And what did you do? Hang up. Use a confident pace.

And any experienced call center training professional will tell you that you must get "to" the Gatekeeper vs. "past" the Gatekeeper. Too often sales rep's try to get past the gatekeeper. Make them your ally. Get their name. Ask for that gatekeeper on the second try, and ask them when you should try back. Chances are they're more likely to remember you, and if you can leave a good impression, this can only open up the lines of communication. They may even recommend you the next time their tasked with a project by their manager. Hopefully these customer service training tips can make your calling time more productive and your bottom line results more profitable.

ISO 14001 Environmental Management - Corporate Manual

By Mark Kaganov

Small and medium size businesses with a single location that employ ISO 14001 Environmental Management System have developed solid models for the top level documentation. At the same time, information on Environmental Manuals for multi-facility companies has not been addressed in professional publications. This publication proposes a model of an Environmental Manual for establishing the top-level documentation structure that allows a business with more than one site to use a common ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Manual.

Working as an Environmental Lead Auditor for numerous international ISO registrars, I assessed dozens of big multi-facility, multi-national organizations that had difficulties with synchronizing their home office ISO 14001 Environmental Manuals with the corresponding documents controlled by their sites. Designing Environmental Manuals for companies with multiple sites, some organizations develop their sites' Environmental Manuals as copies of the corporate Environmental Manual; other enterprises create facility-specific Manuals that are totally autonomous and do not correlate with corporate ISO 14001 Manuals.

In reality, these solutions do not provide for a consistent representation of the organization's position on Environmental issues. The first approach, when a copy of the home office Environmental Manual is used, techniques for controlling local Environmental Manuals as a rule are not determined. Differences in the corporate Manual and the site's Environmental Manual are because the corporate office Manuals are managed by the home office, while site's Manuals are controlled by individual sites.

The 2nd approach, when companies permit their sites to establish their own Environmental Manuals, differences in all those Environmental Manuals lead to noticeable disconnect between the corporate and site-specific Environmental Manuals.

Those companies that adhere to the policy of maintaining a consistent corporate message regarding their position on Environmental issues will definitely experience a gap if they use methods that we discussed above.

One of our large EMS customers demonstrated this point well. The corporate ISO 14001 Environmental Manual addressed majority of the requirements of the standard and referenced appropriate regulations. At the same time, one of their US locations did not define their Environmental policy, Mexico facility did not reference local legal requirements, yet their European site failed to document their Environmental programs all together!

As one can see, both approaches above to development of sites' Environmental Manuals as copies of the corporate Manuals or independent Environmental Manuals do not appear to be practical or economical.

Fortunately, there is a solution. Let's review an example of ISO 14001 2008 Environmental Manual model that references supporting documents within the text of the Manual. For example, element 4.3.2, Legal and other requirements, may read: EMS Associates, LLP has established, implemented and maintains Legal Requirements Procedure to identify and have access to the applicable legal requirements related to the organization's environmental aspects per the Environmental Aspects Procedure,

This model proved to be effective for a single-location company. It also will work for a multi-site business, but only for common EMS documents that are used at all locations. For example, such procedures as Documentation Management, Environmental Audit, CAPA and others may be the same for your all facilities and therefore be referenced in the Environmental Manual as shown above.

But, what if your sites use their own environmental aspects procedures, country or state specific legal requirements and other unique EMS documents different form corporate procedures? Let's examine how an organization's ISO 14001 Environmental Manual can reference corporate and site-specific procedures.

As with a single-location company, a business can still use discussed reference structure if the number of locations or sites is small; let's say not to exceed three. For example, clause 4.4.1 Resources, roles, responsibility and authority may read: Hazmat Experts Company ensures the availability of resources essential to establish, implement, maintain and improve the EMS per the Resource Procedure and the Organizational Chart HO and the Organizational Chart Singapore This example references the common Resource Procedure and site-specific organizational charts for Home Office (HO) and Singapore facility. This format works well for limited number of facilities, but it becomes ineffective when the number of company's locations increases.

For companies with a large number of locations, where we need to reference numerous documents in the Manual, including those controlled by satellite locations, we have another option. We can establish a document to connect corporate Environmental Manual commitments with the site-specific supporting documents. Let's name this document a Manual Reference Matrix and consider the following document reference structure.

Corporate ISO 14001 Environmental Manual section

Manual Reference Matrix Table of Contents (ToC)

Location Manual Reference Matrix

Facility document

Our Manual Reference Matrix ToC is simply a list of company's locations or sites' Manual Reference Matrixes, as shown in the illustration below:

Manual Reference Matrix Table of Contents

Home Office (San Francisco, California, USA)

Toronto (Canada)

Springfield, IL (USA)

Buenos Aires, (Argentina)

Tokyo (Japan)

etc,

To illustrate this model, let's document element 4.3.1 Environmental aspects of our corporate ISO 14001 Environmental Manual with references to site-specific significant environmental aspect matrixes: Environmental Consultants, Inc. has established, implemented and maintains Environmental Aspect Procedure to identify the environmental aspects of its activities, products and services and site-specific significant environmental aspect matrixes per the Manual Reference Matrix ToC. This example shows references to the common Environmental Aspect Procedure and site-specific Significant Environmental Aspect Matrixes. To locate a site-specific Matrix, we need to refer to the Manual Reference Matrix Table of Contents (ToC).

Finding the location of interest in the Matrix ToC and locating, we will find, let's say, St. Petersburg's Matrix. In the matrix, in the given element, we will identify a site-specific Key Characteristics Matrix SP.

A Manual Reference Matrix may be formatted as a three-column form. The first two columns are titled Corporate EMS Section No. and Corporate EMS References; the third column is called Location procedures. For the element 4.3.1, for example, the Matrix indicates that our Manual Reference Matrix references Significant Environmental Aspect Matrix HO for the corporate office and the Significant Environmental Aspect Matrix WA for the Washington facility.

For examples of the Manual Reference Matrix, follow the links below.

Is SEO Still as Relevant as it Was in the Past?

By Jan Shimano

There is no question about the fact that we all want to optimize our websites. It will bring us the targeted and free traffic that we want. The other alternative to searching out free traffic is to use pay-per-click (PPC). I would imagine, though, if we were given the choice, we would all vote for the free traffic any day. However, one of the problems is, many people become overly dependent on SEO and when the search engines make even minor changes with their algorithms, the free traffic sometimes dries up overnight.

However, I believe that it is still necessary and beneficial to develop our SEO skills. Some think that it is very complicated and difficult to learn. In my experience, I have found it to be way easier than learning the ins and outs of PPC. Even when I first started my internet business, I found it took very little effort on my part to reach the first page of Google with my articles. Actually, the first time it happened I thought it was a fluke, but it continued to happen. It was then that I realized that the little I did know about SEO was sufficient to get me on page one of Google each and every time.

As a beginner, I was under the impression that there were well guarded secrets to ranking well with the search engines. I thought I would have to take a few courses to be effective at it. That was not the case. There is so much free information available on the Web, that a person can be educated and ready to take action in no time. I also searched on YouTube and found a number of instructional videos that helped me a lot. I now actually have people asking me what my 'secret' is.

I do, however, recommend that you always have a few back-up systems in place. After all, if you do get caught in a major algorithm change you could lose all your traffic overnight. As mentioned, pay-per-click would be one. Another alternative is to be an affiliate for other companies and products. It is free to register with Clickbank and you can be up and running with very little effort on your part.

It's a great idea to actually create a product of your own. That might sound quite intimidating to most of you, but producing a monthly newsletter or an e-book is not as difficult as you imagine. You could even list your e-book on Clickbank and have other affiliates sell your product for you.

You don't have to entirely rely on SEO to get high rankings on Google or the other search engines, such as Yahoo or MSN. However, for me personally, it is still my favorite way to rank highly. I do realize, though, that in this business things can change literally overnight, so I have involved myself in some alternatives.

So is SEO still the powerhouse it used to be and is it still as relevant as it was in the past? My answer to both of these questions is a big YES. Obviously, there might be some changes in the future, but if it is free traffic that you are looking for, then I think getting a good understanding of SEO and puting it into practice is essential.

The Most Popular MP3 Player USB

By Anne Ahira

Whether or not you already get a portable music player, you maybe are already familiar with the acronym USB. And that's worthy because you'll need an MP3 player USB connection. Before you ready for purchasing for a player, let's spend some time on the importance of the connection.

A Little History

Before the Mp3 Player Usb connection turned into so well-known , there were new technique to connect instrument to your notebook . The majority of those have left the way of the dinosaurs. But did you ever wonder where the USB originate from or even what it means?

Well, the USB in that MP3 player USB stands for universal serial bus. You've probably got several on the device you're using to read this right now. In fact, many of them may already be in use. Mice, printers, and similar peripherals use the USB connection to communicate with your computer.

But where did they originate from and how did the MP3 player USB hook up turn into common worldwide ? The answer actually found more than a ten years ago. Something called smart phones were beginning to come into view on the market , and these phones needed a fast way to connect to laptop . Parallel ports, which were the most common connections used back then, just weren't fast enough. Out of that need came the progress of USB technology.

The moment it hit the industry, company turn into enamored and began attaching it to every notebook and making it at least one of the connection selection for most peripherals sold in the late 1990s and on. When the USB technology improve to the 2.0 version a few years ago, the connection grow to be faster so it's no wonder that MP3 player USB communication would also benefit from this upgrade.

More about MP3 Player USB

The nicest thing about USB is not just its speed but its expediency . Today , almost everything plugs into your notebook using these ports which means that's one less thing you have to worry about. Even when wireless MP3 player USB grows to be general and allows your player to interconnect wirelessly with your laptop , it will be those USB ports that make it all happen .

Of course , there are some other selection that have been launched in the earlier as rivalry for USB technology. Many of these have been presented as choice to MP3 player USB, such as Bluetooth. While Bluetooth connectivity can be excellent for mobile phone , it's definitely not something that would work as well in the world of portable music.

Besides being reasonable , MP3 player USB connections are simply common enough so they seem right in the grand scheme of technology. Why introduce a new technology when what is already recognized is working so suitably? That's the reason here. All of the top MP3 manufacturers recognize that the USB connection is significant for the long-lasting success of their products because customers want fast, suitable communication between the two devices. Otherwise, they won't be able to take pleasure in their music as effortlessly.
