Sales organizations that successfully achieve profitable revenue growth do so through a sales system encompassing sales focus, the integration of organizational and people competencies, a balanced sales effort between new customer acquisition and current customer penetration, and employee engagement.

These organizations match sales resources to the best opportunities, often overlooking customary territorial boundaries or customer assignments and applying a “best in front” approach in the allocation of sales people to high value opportunities. They’ve adopted cross-functional team selling approaches – emphasizing collaboration to deliver value-adding solutions and hold sales/service teams accountable for improved customer-level results. In addition, they utilize their full organizational capabilities, and those of their external partners, to create an integrated product/service offering that enhances their customers’ business results, differentiate their value proposition from the competition, increase the average deal size, “win” the sale, and build durable customer relationships.

While highly effective sales organizations emphasize new customer acquisition, they also recognize that creating new customers is more expensive than penetrating current accounts. Furthermore, they know the temptation is great to discount the initial sale to “get in the door” – producing less profitable business through an expensive sales effort. So, they balance new customer selling with a focus on “deep drilling” current customers with existing and new products. They are also sensible about discounting. Pragmatic sales leaders know when and when not to discount, recognizing that in the long run significantly more discounted revenue is needed to equalize the profit generated from non-discounted sales. For example, assuming a 50% gross profit margin and a 20% discount, a salesperson must capture 25% more revenue to achieve the gross profit generated on a non-discounted sale. The amount of revenue needed to equalize the profit expands as the discount is increased.

Sales representatives in growth-focused sales organizations spend at least 55% to 65% of their time on direct sales activities. Their leaders achieve this concentration by:

> Optimizing the number of current and prospective customers assigned to a salesperson;

> Right sizing the type and number of technical and customer service personnel supporting the sales effort; and

> Providing and insisting upon the utilization of sales automation tools to move opportunities through the sales funnel, create administrative efficiencies and facilitate effective customer management.

Sales leaders that are successful at growing profitable revenue understand the negative impact of turnover and the associated affect of uncovered or inadequately covered customer relationships on growth. They strive to retain their sales people by implementing practices that create employee engagement and a passionate commitment to growth. Among these are, creating organization-wide accountability for results, setting goals set at the individual sales person level, defining minimum performance thresholds below which no incentives are paid, and uncapping incentive opportunities.

Confusions galore in the erectile dysfunction therapeutic drug market, with the constant condemnations and denouncements among the major players in the league. To put it in simple terms, the verbal war is doing no good to a good number of men, hit below the belt by sexual dysfunction. They don’t give a heck, if Cialis sales are on an all time high or Bob Dole is endorsing Viagra; they only want their erection back, come what may. But, with the market ripe for the picking, the drug lords like Pfizer, Lilly Icos and Bayer are swooping down for the kill, zealously guarding their own territories, and eying for more.

The companies that produce erectile dysfunction drugs have baffled and befuddled the patients to no ends with their unethical and inept handling of the whole issue. Different companies have manufactured various ED drugs of similar nature, making it difficult for a patient to choose with a number of equally productive and effective options available. And with the different drug companies trying to grab your attention with their magic drugs, you get all the more confused that you start contemplating on your choice.

Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are no appetizers on a menu that you can make an order to suit your taste, at your own sweet will; they are prescription drugs that matter a lot to your sexuality. Sometimes, this whole issue of erectile dysfunction drugs is mind-boggling. We down a shake or a diet coke without taking anyone’s opinion on the choice of the label; it doesn’t matter if we take diet Coke or Pepsi as long as we quench our thirst. Why don’t we view erectile dysfunction, the way we look at hunger or thirst? That way, we won’t get into a jam or run into further confusions in deciding over Viagra, Levitra or Cialis. But sadly, this is not so, with the companies drawing the dividing lines between themselves in a selfish effort to have a larger share of the pie.

The astronomical sum that goes down the drain through the ads and promos in the all out attempts of the companies to outwit and outdo the rest of the players would be an accountant’s delight. The Viagra vs. Cialis vs. Levitra advertising war is unparalleled, a rivalry unmatched even by the traditional creative duels between Pepsi and Coke. They are leaving no stone unturned to prove the virility and strength of their erections. It’s not a David and Goliath duel; it’s a war of the pharmaceutical Goliaths.

Every Tom, Dick and Harry sells genuine, authentic, discounted, and cheap versions of Viagra, Cialis and Levitra in cyber space, defying common logic and adding to the confusion. It is nothing less than the height of erectile confusion. We always come across Cialis of the best quality or Levitra of the cheapest range after we have ordered Viagra of the finest quality at the fairest deal. Every time we read a press release on Viagra, we are all for Viagra till we get carried by the latest study on Levitra or we get bowled over by the ground breaking research on Cialis. The confusion sees no end.

Connoisseurs in the field say that it is best to talk to a physician, if one suffers from symptoms of erectile dysfunction, to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. That way we can steer clear of the confusion, with the tricky proposition of choosing the right erectile dysfunction drug resting solely on the shoulders of a physician. But, I, for one would still be skeptical, as pharmaceutical companies are hand in glove with the registered physicians. Doctors practice what medical reps preach; there is an unholy alliance between them.

Viagra occupies a special place in the heart of erectile dysfunction patients, with the “We are the Champions” ad (a line from the famous Queen’s song) still fresh in their minds, though the other Johnny-come-lately competitors are vying for that spot. But the choice is yours, as it your erection you are worried about as I do mine.

Now that the spot uranium price has sustained above $40/pound, after a 20-year drought and a bottom of $6.40/pound at the end of December 2000, hundreds of junior exploration companies have thrown their hat into the ring. Both Canadian and Australian junior uranium companies hope to raise the big money required to bring a uranium property into production. A perceived uranium supply crunch has added to this frenzy. As occurred with previous uranium cycles, only the strong will survive.

While numerous Canadian junior exploration companies hope to find a new discovery in various uranium-prospective regions through Canada, a safer investment strategy is to speculate on companies, whose properties were previously drilled during the uranium bull market of 1974-1980). Some of those properties had uranium deposits delineated by major oil and uranium companies, who did not blush at spending tens of millions of dollars in exploration.

Some of the newly arrived uranium companies acquired those drilling databases and their properties, which were abandoned by the previous owners. Some companies have been actively moving their projects forward to production, using a more environmentally friendly mining method than an open pit or underground mine. It is called In Situ Leach (ISL) uranium mining, and the operation is much like a water treatment plan. Oxidized, or carbonated, water is pumped into an orebody, and uranium is flushed into a processing plant. These are relatively inexpensive to install, possibly for as little as $10 million.

There are pitfalls when investing in those companies which plan to establish ISL operations. During the initial phase of this bull market, a common myth, circulated among investors, had been “pounds in the ground.” How many pounds of uranium oxide, or U3O8 for short, does a company have in the ground? The more pounds a company claimed, the higher its market capitalization ran. Once you sift through the companies with very real prospects from those who are cheerleading their “pounds in the ground,” you should have a realistic short list.

These are the four key questions which must be answered if you wish to minimize your risk when investing in uranium stocks:

How permeable are the ore bodies you plan to mine?

What is your average grade?

Over what area does your rollfront extend?

What is the depth of your ore body?
One of the most important factors to consider is the permeability of the sandstone, from which the uranium will be mined. Permeability is the flow rate of the liquids through the porous sandstone. Knowing what the permeability of the orebody will let you know how much water you can get through the sandstone formation. Harry Anthony, an internationally recognized ISL expert, noted, “You need higher grade ore for tight formations. With high permeability, you can space your wells further apart.”

The make-break point for a formation’s permeability is its Darcy rating. How high is the Darcy? A typical Darcy can range from minus 1000 to plus 3. The higher the Darcy, the more permeable the formation. This helps determine how economic the orebody is. An acceptable range would be one-half to one Darcy. What is a Darcy? Uranerz Energy CEO Glenn Catchpole, who is also a hydrologist, said, “It is gallons per day over feet squared.” He added a pure hydrologist would calculate the feet per day or centimeters per second to get a more accurate permeability assessment.

With low permeability in a tight formation, you may need to space more wells in a typical well field pattern. While explaining that costs are fixed and variable, Anthony computed the cost of a production well for a 500 foot deposit at $15,000. An injection well could cost $11,000 to install. By comparison, in New Mexico, where the deposits are wider and of higher grade, a 2000-foot production well might cost $27,000 and the injection well could cost $18,000, and it would still be economic. Obviously, the deeper the deposit, the more it will cost to extract the uranium. Not only will the capital costs increase, but operating costs will be greater.

Uranium grades can be a contentious point. “Grade is the driving force,” Harry Anthony shot back. We asked him about companies which said they could run an economic ISL operation with grades as low, or lower than 0.02. Anthony laughed, “They’d be out of business before they started.” Strathmore Minerals’ president David Miller offered a more technical analysis, “That will not likely have enough recoverable pounds. The operating grade feeding the plant will be too low.” What is the best grade? Miller wanted to see properties with deposits that average on the order 0.5, 0.10, or 0.15.

Uranium grades can impact the cost of operating an ISL plant. An ISL plant may operate at 5000 gallons per minute. Running 24 hours daily, the plant would process 7.2 million gallons of water. Operating costs are based upon cost per thousand gallons of water. “This includes electricity, reagents and labor,” said Anthony. On a daily basis, it would cost more than $21,000 to run an ISL plant, based upon Anthony’s calculations of $3.03 per thousand gallons of water. Under this scenario, a plant might produce 2360 pounds of U3O8 every day or 80,000 pounds monthly. The cost to produce each pound would be $8.18. Using that math, the uranium grades would be about 44 parts per million (ppm) or 0.08. Anthony said, “I like to see 70ppm or higher.” That comes to a uranium grade of 0.13.

Another way to evaluate a company’s uranium property is looking at each part of its development costs. In a well field pattern, David Miller can determine the economic viability of the ground. “The keys to what is recoverable include how many pounds are recoverable per pattern and what it costs to install a pattern,” Miller explained. “If you have 10,000 pounds in place and can recover 8000 pounds, your well field development cost can be $8/pound, if it costs you $80,000 to install that pattern.

The cost to install a pattern also depends over how much territory your uranium deposits run. “Ten million pounds over an area of one-half mile will cost less than those same pounds over an area of two to four miles,” explained Terrence Osier, Strathmore Minerals senior geologist. “That means more injection wells and more production wells.” Depth of the wells influences installation cost and impacts its daily operating cost. “When uranium costs were very low, a company needed 70,000 pounds per pattern,” Anthony commented. “Now a company might only need 20,000 pounds per pattern to make it economic.”

There are many variables within the above advices provided by these experts. However, the important point to realize is the time of hyperbole and hoopla over “pounds in the ground” has passed. As more uranium development companies move closer to establishing an ISL operation, the go/no-go consideration, as
UR-Energy CEO William Boberg aptly described it, will come down to permeability. After that, the economics of a project will either make it viable or not. Using these criteria, you can avoid the hysteria by speculating with the odds stacked more in your favor.

It’s Christmas time here in Mazatlan, Mexico.
I can tell by the Coca-Cola Christmas tree in the
plaza facing the cathedral.

In fact, last Friday must have been St. Coca-Cola
Day or something. At sunset, we heard a
commotion. Nothing too unusual about that–
there’s always some sort of celebration going on.
I figured it was part of the presentation of the
Carnaval princesses going on in the other local
plaza.

We went to the roof to look down the street
and saw a procession of red vehicles of various
sizes emblazoned with the Coca-Cola logo. From
convertibles and the backs of pick-ups, lovely
misses dressed as Santa’s helpers waved
to passersby. The thumping bass reverberated
off store windows along the street. A blaring
loudspeaker invited everyone to follow the
parade to the Coca-Cola Christmas celebration.

The final fire-engine red vehicle carried Santa
himself, who was perched merrily on several
cases of–what else?–Coca-Cola.

A visit to the plaza later revealed a 30-foot
artificial tree all dressed up for a Coca-Cola
Christmas. The ornaments consisted of glittery
round disks with the familiar logo. A few
six-foot-tall inflatable Coca-Cola cans flanked
a red-bannered stage where ten-year-olds took
turns singing pop favorites.

Everyone was bopping and enjoying the
festivities which concluded with the
Coca-Cola Christmas fireworks display.

Now, back in the States, this type of blatant
commercialism of Christmas would bring jeers
and eye-rolling and perhaps even a few
demonstrators. After all, we parents formed
groups protesting the availability and
promotion of Coke products in our kids’
school lunch rooms. We railed against
the corporate irresponsibility of a company
so clearly contributing to the increased
rates of diabetes and obesity in children.

But here, it’s just another reason to celebrate.
If Coke wants to sponsor a parade and a
fireworks display, that seems perfectly fine
with people here. They’ll dance to whatever’s
playing and enjoy it without getting too hung
up on the politics.

I had to check my cynicism at the door. That’s
mindfulness in action–recognizing our
knee-jerk reactions as simply choices we make
about responding in a certain way. We can
choose to respond differently, but first we
need to SEE our conditioned response.

Hmmm. Fire up my outrage or ooh and aah
at the fireworks? I get to choose.

I can be offended. Or, I can just take
it as another absurdity in my day and smile at
the kids belting out ballads on the stage and the
parents dancing with toddlers in the plaza.

It might be “wrong” to enjoy a Coca-Cola parade
or celebrate singing children on a Coca-Cola
stage, but from where I sit, it doesn’t feel like
blatant commercialism as much as it feels like
a spontaneous party.

Sure, it’s tacky. But it’s also surprisingly joyful.
Those smiles were not the result of Coca-Cola–
they were just an expression of happiness
prompted by an unexpected celebration.

And that’s the real thing.

Rudy and Marjorie were on the verge of divorce. Married 12 years, they had constant verbal battles ending in what therapists call call emotional disengagement— meaning that they simply ignored each other for days on end.

Emotionally, they were simmering inside and also lonely for each other, but were unable to reach out and communicate these feelings. They were in a “cold war” with both waiting for the other to make the first move to melt the icy atmosphere.

This couple suffers a common marital malady—lack of skills to repair emotional damage done to each other. According to marital research, almost all couples fight; what often separates the “masters” of marriage from the “disasters” of marriage is the ability to repair the subsequent damage.

Acquiring good repair skills gives the couple a way to recover from the mistakes they may have made. These repair skills provide a “fix” for the damage caused in attempting to communicate to each other other in a way that caused emotional hurt to one or both of them.

It is common for partners to make relationship mistakes - after all, anyone can have a bad day, be under too much stress or just use poor judgment in dealing with a situation. Rather than emotinally disengaging from each other or staying angry, try to “fix it” if you are the offender.

And if you are the receiver of the damage, your challenge is to find a way to accept your partner’s repair attempt— that is, to see your partner’s repair attempt as an effort to make things better.

REPAIR TOOL Tool #1—apologize

A simple sincere and heartfelt apology can sometimes do wonders for a relationship, especially if your partner sees you as a person who never admits they are wrong or at fault.

Say things like: I’m sorry; I apologize;What I did was really stupid; I don’tknow what got into me.

REPAIR Tool #2—confide feelings.

Be honest and share the feelings that are underneath the anger such as fear, embarrassment, or insecurity. Your partner may respond to you quite differently if they see those other emotions, instead of just the anger.Confiding what is in your heart and in your mind can make a huge difference in promoting understanding, closeness, and intimacy.

Say things like:I was really afraid for our daughter when I got so angry;I didn’t want to hurt you; I just lost my cool.

REPAIR TOOL #3—acknowledge partner’s point of view.

This doesn’t mean you have to agree with it; just acknowledging it can decrease tension and conflict because it shows your partner you are at least listening to them. It also demonstrates empathy—the ability to see things from their vantage point instead of only yours.

Say things like: I can see what you mean; I never looked at it that way.

REPAIR TOOL #4—accept some ofthe responsibility for the conflict.

Very few conflicts are 100% the fault of either partner. Instead, most conflicts are like a dance with both of you making moves to contribute to the problem. Inability to accept any responsibility is a sign of defensiveness rather than the openness required for good communication.

Say things like:I shouldn’t’ have done what I did; I guess we both blew it; I can understand why you reacted to me that way.

REPAIR TOOL #5—find common ground.

Focus on the issue at hand and what you have in common rather than your differences. For instance, you might both agree that raising healthy children is a common goal even though you differ in parenting styles.

Say things like: We seem to both have the same goal here; we don’t agree on methods but we both want the same outcome.

REPAIR TOOL #6—commit to improve behavior.
“I’m sorry” doesn’t cut it if you continually repeat the offensive behavior. Backup words with action. Show concrete evidence that you will try to change.

Say things like:I promise to get up a half hour earlier from nowon; I’ll call if I’m going to be late; I’ll only have two drinks at the party and then stop.

Of all the various life insurance options, term life insurance policies are most often the least expensive and the most commonly purchased life insurance policies.

Term life insurance policies are the least expensive life insurance policies. This is because you are purchasing life coverage only when you purchase a term life insurance policy, whereas with other life insurances, such as whole life insurance, you are also purchasing an investment component. Many whole life insurance policies call these investments “retirement savings,” but there are many other ways to save for retirement without having to choose a life insurance policy that may not be the best for you. Since you are not paying for anything but life insurance with a term life insurance policy, term life insurance is less expensive than any other life insurance option for the coverage offered.

However, term life insurance is not the most practical policy choice for you if you are seeking coverage for the duration of your life and/or seeking an investment component. Term life insurance policies do not accumulate guaranteed cash values, nor do they assist with estate planning the way whole life insurance can. Another downfall is that term life insurance is not available to people above age 50 at the same less expensive premiums that apply to younger people. At this point, a whole life insurance policy may be the better option.

When you start planning your purchase of a life insurance policy, the first thing you should do is figure out exactly what kind of coverage you need (do you want to be covered for life, or for the next fifteen years?), how much you can afford or are willing to pay (how much money can you afford to spend on your life insurance?), and what kind of perks, if any, you would like your life insurance policy to offer (are you looking for a life insurance policy that will offer accumulated cash value and other investment options?).

You probably know by now that the more people who know about you and your coaching practice the greater chance you have of attracting clients. However, running a coaching practice from home can become an isolating experience with fewer chances for human interaction. You need to get out more

You may have come to the point (begrudgingly or otherwise) that you need to do some networking to build your list of contacts and build business relationships. There are a wide range of options available if you want to network but I believe that few can compete with the professional networking groups run by BNI or BRE.

These groups have been specifically set-up to exchange business referrals between members. Unlike the Chambers of Commerce or Business Link meetings, they have exclusive membership so normally you’ll be the only coach in the group. They also meet up on a weekly basis (rather than monthly) so you have the ability to develop strong relationships with the other members of the group more rapidly.

However, would BNI or BRE be right for you?

Here are some questions to ask yourself:

1. Are you a morning person? - BNI and BRE meetings are held early in the morning so you’ll need to be there by 7am but the earlier the better. This means you’ll be getting ready to rise by at least 6.30am. Ouch!

You may have child care commitments to consider.

It may seem easier to get up during the light mornings of the summer but think about the winter too when the dark mornings challenge your get-up-ability

2. Are you committed? - The more you put into your group the more you’ll get out of them. Are you committed enough to regularly attend the weekly meetings? Be prepared to put in the effort and you’ll reap the rewards.

To build strong relationships based on trust with the other members of the group you’ll need to be a regular face at the meetings and meet the members outside too.

3. Are you connected? - A large part of being successful in BNI or BRE is you being prepared to BRING business to the meetings for other members. It’s not all ‘take take’ on your part.

Do you have friends, family and colleagues who could utilize the services of the members in the group? Don’t worry too much about this as it’s surprising how many chances you’ll find to bring business to the meeting for other members when you get to really know what they are offering.

4. Are you crazy?! - In a liberal society the idea of getting up around 6am on a weekly basis completely voluntarily (without the threat of punishment) may seem crazy at first. However, you may be crazy not to.

Tantrums are never easy to deal with and push parents to their
limits of patients. It often seems to be that parents of
children with social difficulties have a harder job because
tantrums are either more frequent, unpredictable or harder to
bring under control.

The Difficulties

Children with social difficulties can be very difficult to calm
down when they have a tantrum because they have less of an
understanding of things going on around them. This makes things
like discipline very difficult because you are constantly weary
that saying ‘no’ to even the slightest of things can develop
into a dramatic tantrum.

Certainly the tantrums are less predictable or triggered by what
people would generally consider ‘no big deal’. This means that
when your child has a tantrum over something very slight such as
a meal they don’t like, it becomes very difficult for parents
and carers to sympathise and empathise. To you it is a perfectly
reasonable thing to cope with.

When a tantrum does occur, it can be very difficult to bring
under control. Parents can be left feeling shocked by the length
of time a tantrum has lasted or by the amount of anxiety,
frustration or aggression the child was feeling. Most of all, it
can be very disheartening to see their apparent lack of being
able to reach their own child to calm them down.

Another difficulty parents have is when they are in public
places and their child has a tantrum, it is staggering to see
other people looking at disgust at the parents who are
immediately branded as bad parents to let their child get to
that state.

Its not only members of the public but also uninformed
professionals and medical practitioners who believe children are
always a result of their parents.

Causes of Tantrums

Although it may feel that children with social difficulties have
tantrums at the slightest problem, the causes of their tantrums
can be a little more complex than it first appears. Tantrums are
a product of some form of frustration, anxiety, anger etc. The
causes of these behaviors can be extremely varied.

Some children have tantrums because they are unable to
communicate what they want or express their feelings in any
other way. Furthermore, they may have difficulty in
understanding what they are being told. The use of picture cards
may help overcome some of these problems. It is also essential
to keep your language clear and brief and to emphasis important
words.

Some children have great difficulty with their senses such as
the feel of their clothes, the taste of their food. These
uncomfortable senses make them feel uneasy and lead to built up
stress if they cannot sort the problem out themselves.

Some causes of anxiety come from activities or planned events
they have had problems with in the past. For example, the tennis
teacher made them feel uncomfortable and knowing they have to go
again causes them distress.

Problems can also occur from lack of sleep, a drop in their
blood-sugar levels, an allergy to certain foods and the list
goes on and on.

Parents and carers must also remember that most of the time
their children do not realise themselves what is causing them to
feel uncomfortable

What to do

Try to get as much information as possible when tantrums happen.
Try to think of all the things that may have been the cause. Try
talking to others e.g. teachers or other carers for the child to
see what their experiences were and if there are any common
issues that could lead to tantrums.

The best thing to encourage is communication to get the child to
tell you or indicate in some way what they think is causing them
distress. Try to coach them into knowing when something is
making them feel bad. Then help them to tell you and give you
the chance to sort it out first.

If a child is non-verbal it would be helpful to teach a child to
initially point or take an adult’s hand to items they want. This
will reduce the frustration of not having some of their needs
met. This will also help if they can point to things that are
distressing them.

Support

Don’t underestimate the value of support groups close to you.
Parents should feel comfort in there being many thousands of
other parents that understand what you have to deal with. Often
talking to other parents with children with social difficulties
helps a lot so that you can see you are not the only one. It
helps when you are out in public places and other people see you
dealing with a child with social difficulties obviously don’t
understand the difficulty

Beating Adwords

Have you been playing the Google Adwords game and having your
butt handed to you on a silver platter?

Are you almost ready to quit Google altogether…but the only
reason that stops you is that you know that you are almost
there? Small profit one day…then huge wipeout the next?

I feel you…I have been there…I knew I was so close to
success I could almost taste it…

Let me introduce…

Kyle and Carson…Don’t know their last names…they never say!
They are also known as the “Wealthy Affiliates”…together they
are “Beating Adwords”…to the tune of $60 K per month!

I met them when I became a member of their “Wealthy Affiliate”
Forum…where they interact on a daily basis….and answer
nearly every question posed by forum members on “how to beat
adwords”, affiliate programs, and other marketing advice in
general. They also take the time to welcome every new member.

These two kids have impressed me so much with the time that they
spend giving help to their members…I have followed the stories
of many of their members over the last 6 months and many come
with no Adwords experience at all…and Kyle and Carson help
them along the way to making over $300 a day in many cases!

Kyle and Carson got started using Google Adwords to promote
popular affiliate programs when they were in college…figured
out truly ingenious ways to work the competiition…lower their
costs and improve their return on investment…in small
increments…until they are earning over $60,000 per month.

They started their “Wealthy Affiliate” Forum to help
others…and for anyone who has been a member for over a week it
is immediately obvious…that these two fellas don’t run the
forum for money…they answer your questions…will review your
Google Account…and private message you and work with you one
on one.

That is why when they came out with their brand new eBook
“Beating Adwords”…I bought one of the first copies.

I consider myself an advanced Google Adwords user and I am truly
impressed with “Beating Adwords”…they start out from the very
beginning on how to “correctly” set up your campaign…how to
group your ads to get the lowest possible cost per click…and
move on to advanced Adwords Strategies that I was not even aware
of….

Kyle and Carson are two stellar and very smart guys…and if you
need help with “Beating Adwords”…you won’t find anyone more
patient or helpful as the two “Wealthy Affiliates”…

By the way…I know you could order your copy of “Beating
Adwords” anywhere you choose…if you order thru my link
above…I am going to include a special bonus only several dozen
people know about…My wife calls it my “Bum Marketing” Method
because she says it is so easy a literate bum could do it …I
just call it my little method for getting an ad on Google
Free…If you decide to order “Beating Adwords” thru the link
above I will send it right over to you!

Thanks,

P.S. My story ends with me making over $400 dollars a day in
profit since September of 2005…Today as a matter of fact Jan
23, 2006 I quit my job as a computer tech and am doing Adwords
and my “Bum Marketing” method full time!
