Improve Your Selling Time
Each of us gets 24 hours to do with what we will. Some people wish they had more, while others wish time would pass a lot quicker. Some salespeople act like they have an unlimited time bank available to them, and that their prospects or clients will see them whenever the salesperson would like. Other more successful sales pros understand the importance of using every available selling minute to its best advantage.Before you can improve your use of time to sell, you need to get a handle on where you are spending your time and how you are abusing it. Most of us tend to waste the time we do in the same old ways, day after day, year after year.

With so many out there (some good, some - well, not so good) it's hard to determine what to believe. In an attempt to clarify the ins and outs, and the myths and realities of paid online surveys, I've composed a series of questions and answers to help you sort everything out. We'll start with the basics and then get into the nitty gritty.

The Decision Making Cycle
Do we understand the advertising and how the market works? When you go to the supermarket to by shampoo, what dictates what we buy? There are over 50 different choices, which one do you buy? You don’t have time to process all the information, analyze ingredients, or figure the cost per ounce. Why do we make the decision we do.Does it just feel right? Is it a past commercial you saw, the color combination on the bottle, the one your mother bought, the one on sale, or did you pick the one that felt right. Many times we really don’t know why we buy. For most of us we buy on emotion and figure out later (logically) why we bought it. When you ask someone why they bought a BMW, you will hear things like, top quality car, high resale value, performance. Now think about it – do you really think that is why they bought that car? We are no

Cover Letter Tips: A Winning Formula
It's true that nobody really likes writing cover letters or resumes. What's even more interesting is that cover letters are not even enjoyed by their recipients. The problem derives from the cover letter templates. If you want to get the message quickly to as many recipients as possible then you have to create a cover letter template. It's impossible to structure a new sentence or paragraph for every cover letter.This causes all cover letters from all job seekers to look the more or less the same and the phrases in the letters to sound repetitive. This repetition simply destroys the entire letter. Imagine 100 job seekers using the same cover letter template and send their letters to the same recipient. After reading some letters the recipient is frustrated and there's no point at reading any more..Here are some tips to make your cover letter

Question: Will you get spammed by signing up for paid survey sites?
Answer: No, but you do have to be careful. There are some sites out there that are simply advertising firms posing as paid online survey sites. Here's my advise on how to tell the difference. First, if they offer you a chance at a fantastic prize for signing up, such as a car or a boat, I would be a bit weary and do some more research before you sign-up. Second, if the survey to sign-up for the site consists of a lot of questions as to whether or not you want more information on other products, walk away, you're certain to get spammed. Just remember that a legitimate market research firm will not endorse a product or service, they are supposed to be unbiased. Third, read the privacy policy if you have any concerns. The majority of the sites out there are legitimate and will only email you if there is a survey available or if there is important information they need to notify you of.

Question: Should you pay for a database of paid survey sites?
