    ABC: Digital Dictation
    According to Dictaphone®, in 1952 recorded dictation itself was established as "a time saver over handwriting and stenography among attorneys, physicians and other professionals".

    Who is your ideal customer?

    Who has a problem that you, your product or service can solve?

    Who would be most interested in your product or service?

    Who is most likely to buy your product or service?

    Once you identify who the best customer or ideal client is for your product or service, write a description of that person.

    How old are they?

    Are they male or female?

    Where do they live?

    What kind of work do they do?

    What do they do for fun?

    What is the problem your product or service can help them solve?

    Are they affluent or is money tight?

    Once you have completed the description, take it one step further: Create a character.

Due to the permanently increasing competition a big number of producers from ‘all over the world’ enters our market places. This narrows naturally the local market for local producers because the clients very often only need less complicated machinery for their products/solutions and thus imported products are completely sufficient.On the other hand local manufacturers very often offer technical products on a high standard which in-turn would be needed in other countries of the world due to their specific produ

    The Ugly Issue of Sex, Lies, and Credibility - Nu Leadership Series
    An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows. Dwight D. EisenhowerHave you ever thought what makes one manager better than another? It might start with his or her credibility. Good values give leaders credibility. Today’s politicians argue about God’s political affiliation. Politicians promote values like they were Nike shoes. As a result, Americans are now cynical their leaders.Let’s examine this matter closer. In 1998, President Clinton was caught in a vicious sex scandal. Clearly, it was a national disgrace.

    Let's say you are a wellness coach or fitness professional and your ideal client is a middle-aged, overweight woman who does not currently take very good care of herself, but wishes to drop a few pounds and get healthier.

    First, here's a description

    She is a woman between the ages of 35 and 50 years old; she's married with school-aged children; she works full- or part-time; leads a stressful, busy life trying to manage her family and work responsibilities; doesn't take very good care of herself because she's always caring for others; is 20-30 pounds overweight as a result; and doesn't eat very healthfully.
