Highest Merchant Cash Advance Amounts video

Talking on the Seashore. A quick look at the:

Highest Merchant Cash Advance Amounts video

This video describes an opportunity of getting a cash advance against your credit card receivables. The opening audio is familiar as it has been used in other video productions. I was surprised that it was not a talking head video, but they actually did an on site shot of a person talking at the seashore.

What Channel are your communicating on?

What Channel are your communicating on?

What channel are you communication on can be a very important piece of information when judging your success or failure in interacting with any one or dog. So often we do not come across successfully and wonder why we fail in making a point, a presentation or a a sale. Have you checked lately on what ways you are really speaking to your audience. Are you accomplishing your goal of your message or simply waisting every one's time.

People will seek advice on communications for those critical meetings. Sometimes professional or just from the circle of friends you have accumulated over time. Take heart! It is proof enough that you do communicate well. You have some friends! Have you considered that you may be lucky to have in house communications coaches in your own home?

I have two dogs who are close companions to my family. We are lucky enough to have matching personalities who have built trust with each other. The humans in the household have not confused who are humans and who are dogs. I have read enough about the humans playing the part of the lead or Alpha Dog role etc, so we skip that part! :)

We do come close to thinking on the same wavelength at times and certainly learn from our communication interactions. Sometimes I can apply them for outside the species communications.

Just the other day my dog Max has been enjoying some great dog treats bought from the store. The people who make these treats know their craft well as the smells that roll out of the dog snack container are really oderifically delicious ... Even for a human! A dog's nose works so many million times better than a human, so I can only imagine what signals he receives! So what does this all mean?

When I reach down and pull a snack out with my hands, a certain amount of snack oils , smells and what not gets stuck on my hands. So I continue to smell like a great tasting snack long after my dog has gulped down this succulent treat. My dog thanks me for the treat. I pat him on the head. He stays glued right where I am sitting , standing or walking. Sure he like me. But he really is hoping I have another snack in my hand! :)

An oblivious person might think that the dog really is in rapture with your company. Sure Max likes me; but he is hoping all that wonderful smell is still attached another doggie treat!

I talk with the dog. I pat his head. He looks lovingly at me and sends me signals. I could be talking about tearing about and rebuilding an old dot matrix printer and my dog would react the same. Great! Where is another treat! :)

The magic passes. Eventually that wonderful dog treat smell leaves me. Max thanks me and wanders off. So he really now knows more about Dot Matrix Printer Repair! I can't wait to tell him how to fix a blender!

Next time you talk with someone and they look at you in rapture. Just make sure that they are smiling at what you talking about and not the tuna fish sandwich in your hand.

www.sapcrossing.com A Job site for a specific Niche

http://www.sapcrossing.com/ A Job site for a specific Niche

SapCrossing.com is an example where one can search for "jobs and job openings" or "job search", but what is SAP ?

This is a specific example where the webdesigners who promise a new look assume that you know exactly what is SAP. Its almost a screening mechanism so that people who work with SAP will use this website for job and career search, while people who have no clue either investigate outside of the website to know more what SAP exactly might be, or go away and look at another website.

This is pulled from the top of the website:

SAPCrossing constantly tracks the hiring needs of more than 250,000
employers.
Fastest-growing job database in the world
Jobs from Fortune
500 and other top companies
Hundreds of employees finding and adding jobsaround the clock



So if you need to look for a SAP job, you may want to visit http://www.sapcrossing.com/

All you need to know is if you know anything about SAP! :)

Thoughts in Web Design : SellingCrossing.com

The format or structure of a website design can tell you much of the plan or lack of plans of a particular company.

I stumbled across http://www.sellingcrossing.com/ the other day and found that they are another example of being very purposeful in showing significant reasons why to look further into their offerings.

Websites can change in a blink. When I looked at it recently, I found it to really concentrate on the "above the fold" with very strong bullet points and graphics to emphasize certain key points:

Trust America's Top Job-Opening Research Institution With Your Job Search The only job-opening research institution in the world whose mission is to track down every job opening through research, offering:
A comprehensive collection of over 1 million researched job openings
Job openings from all Fortune 500 companies
Job openings from virtually every employer career webpage in America
Job openings from virtually every job board in America
More than 500 highly trained job-opening research analysts reviewing jobs Tell us where to send your access instructions:

Where did I get the above key points? Right from the top of the webpage!

One half of the top banner posting these points has a building which is titled "Pasadena CA Research Facility" The web designers worked hard to integrate the colors of the website with this substantial looking building. No its not a skyscraper. Its a place of work. There is much pull in its look to me. This building is full of serious minded people who will help me in my job search efforts.

Scroll down below the "fold" of the browser page and you will see much more detail of what they are going to do, who they work with and what tools they offer to help in your sales related career.

You scroll back to the top of the web page and only then notice the navigation links. They are there for your use, but they were not intended to be emphasized or explored until you took a look at the overall view of the front webpage design.

This is a just a surface look at the presentation of the website. Whether it is well designed with all the hidden tags or website design elements that make search engines excited is a completely different story.

Take a look at http://www.sellingcrossing.com/ . It might give you inspiration for your next communication presentation.
