Manufacturing products in China for the European and American markets have grown exponentially over the last few years. This is due to the cheap labor and cheap manufacturing costs in the country. It’s an amazing country with multitudes of companies bidding for whatever you want manufactured. I strongly encourage anyone who has a volume internet market to explore the avenue of manufacturing their prod
The best scenario I have found is to present a problem or predicament, state how the problem can be solved or the predicament can be avoided, present a preferred option and then ask for the action (buying, adopting etc depending on circumstances).
When planning your session, think about how you can weave AIDA into: Explain, Demonstrate, Question, Practise, Review. It won't
Support for brands such as products or services make the brand even stronger. A brand cannot stand by itself it must have not only quality and performance to support the name, it must also have service. By service we mean that if something goes wrong, the company will make sure repairs happen in a timely fashion or replacements are done immediately.

- Know your target audience - what's in it for them? What do they expect? Why are they attending your training?
- Sometimes go back to basics - it's a good chance to reevaluate your performance
- Find ways to generate interaction and get your participants doing something
- Provide as much variety as practicable
- Demonstrate where possible - it will save many words
- Use humour wherever possible. If associated with analogies, this can help participants recall specifics
- Consider your training as a marketing exercise
Think along the lines of the acronym A - I - D - A which stands for Attention - Interest - Desire - Action. Get attention by making a statement that is bold or give an example of what could happen if they don't do what it is you are about to suggest. For example, if you were about to deliver a road safety talk, you could start off by saying something like, '560 people died on Queensland Roads last year ... what's going to keep you from adding to that statistic?' You may then give them some 'Interesting' statistics about how many of those people were drivers who committed traffic offences. Desire is aroused when we want something - in this case, the solution to NOT becoming a statistic. Then, the Action part might relate to a commitment from them to put into effect what you have taught them.

How many times have you looked around your office and cringed at all the piles of paperwork?

Office chairs are an important part of the business environment. An increasing number of employees find themselves seated in front of a computer terminal or telephone console for an extended period of time during their workday. On average, most employees who use computers are seated for more than eight hours per day. It is extremely important that their office chairs be both comfortable and safe.his sounds odd, but when you think about it, you are trying to 'sell' someone the ideas you are putting across.

When planning your session, think about how you can weave AIDA into: Explain, Demonstrate, Question, Practise, Review. It won't be appropriate to every session, but if it can be used, it's a sound option. And remember, if you have a large volume of content, you may need to break it (it's called chunking) into separate chunks each of which has an E-D-Q-P-R.
Questioning is two-way. You need to question your participants to find out if they understand what you have delivered; they need an opportunity to clear up any doubts they have by questioning you. Your review can be a summary (which also includes Q) or it can be a review at the commencement of a later presentation about a continuing topic.
When next you are about to prepare a 'chalk and talk' session or perhaps a 'show and tell', think about how you could make it a little more interesting and interactive by using AIDA and EDQPR strategies. You'll be pleasantly surprised at what good ideas you come up with. And it will show in your session evaluation.
