I cannot diagnose, treat or prescribe but I can give health information which can help you with your situation. All information that you give in the email is purely confidential and will be deleted upon receipt. No information will be published anywhere.

Why do we do provide a free health information service? Simply put — because we care. I will have my doctorate in naturopathic medicine two years from now. I already have 3 years of intense medical training under my belt and that is after a B.Sc in Cell and Molecular Biology. I know that most people are completely bewildered with the health industry and are looking for ways to obtain health without spending a fortune and without the standard mechanistic medical protocol. Complementary and Alternative medicine is flourishing and it is due to results patients receive. Holistic medicine heals and restores health to numerous chronic health conditions that traditional medicine cannot touch.

Our medical philosophy: Remove the cause of illness, treat the underlying issue and support the individual’s mind and body. This is how medicine should be practiced. Treating the symptoms only encourages the illness to penetrate deeper and cause further harm.

If you have a pet and find yourself unsatisfied with the inventory in local stores, there is good news awaiting you! Now, pet products are available online via easy, efficient ordering.

Buying pet products online is easy. First, you need to know what type of products to If you are just getting ideas, you can just type in the word “pet product” and a lot of searches will come right into your screen. You can search from the most popular search engines such as Google, Yahoo or AltaVista. After entering the keyword, a lot of pet product websites will be displayed and you can look at them one by one. Even if you just search on one directory, you will be pointed or directed to other related websites for a broader search.

If you want to be specific, you can enter the specific word like “pet food”. A lot of pet food will be displayed in your search. All you have to do now is to choose the best pet food that you want or had been looking for. Now, wasn’t that easy? It’s as easy as sitting and relaxing while watching television.

Buying pet products online is a good alternative for those who would rather stay at home with their family or even their pets. Although it is a good alternative, buying products at stores is still the best option. At least you can see the products with your own eyes and you can determine if it looks good for your pets.

Buying online pet products can also give you access to a veterinarian of a food expert. If you have questions regarding a certain product, you can ask them online for help and advice. If you are not sure of the product you wish to buy, it will be most appropriate to ask for more information first. Some products are not suitable for your pet’s health.

This is important especially in buying food pet products. If your dog is not that healthy, you should not give them simply the first pet food you find. Consulting a specialist is the best thing to do in these cases.

If you buy online, you can set your search which is near your area so that it can be delivered to you immediately. If you search outside of your local area, you will probably encounter shipping fees, making it cheaper and more efficient to purchase directly.

Thanks to the internet, buying pet products is easy and convenient. You can save time, search for bargains, and do all this from the comforts of home.

Wholesale distributors must create and use formal methods to gather customer feedback and improve communication. Best Practice companies have a source of information about what customers think of them that does not come from their sales people. Sales people make stuff up; sorry, they do. Sales people do provide information and that is fine. You need to listen to your sales force. There is no question about that, but Best Practice companies have a way of getting input directly from customers:

• What do you think of us?

• How are we doing?

• What are the practices that our competitors provide to you that you really value?

There is a way of gathering that information that does not come from the sales force. Some firms use consultants who do studies on customer satisfaction. This is a single event and it goes away. Best Practice says you build a process and gather data. Maybe it is only quarterly, but you then have something to measure every quarter. What is getting better? Is something getting worse? You must build an ongoing process that gathers data. The way you turn that into a process is to institutionalize the process so that it is done every quarter or every 6 months. The second thing that you need to do is to have somebody, other then a sales person, write down a summary of what key messages were heard. A suggested format is to create 5 key questions that you ask every one of the selected customers to rate you on a scale of 1- 10. This will provide guideposts to be able to pull that together. If you ask 100 customers you will get a statistically better answer.

Segmentation

The other big thing we need to know about to understand markets and customers is segmentation. Segmentation is the act of dividing, separating or partitioning to define specific needs of customers and markets. Segmenting provides the intelligence that defines the various reasons why customers buy from us. It can help us determine the types of customers we should be targeting and the service output demands we must be able to provide to gain market share. Segmenting customers is essential to growth and profitability.

Many distributors build their business around geography instead of building it around customers. Distribution has outgrown that concept. You must segment your markets, but do not segment by small, medium and large and allocate suck up behavior based on size. That has been the typical methodology. Segmenting by customers means you differentiate based on their service output demands. What are their expectations? What business are they in?

There might be several segments within each classification. If you have dealers as customers, you may have several segments of dealers. You might have a dealer segment that you enjoy the vast majority of their purchase and you are their primary supplier. You might have a segment of dealers where you are tertiary and they are buying from every Tom, Dick and Harry and the business is won by whomever has the best price. You may also segment professionals such as architects, engineers and institutions. You might have another segment that is based on governmental purchases, federal, city or state. The point is that you group your customers and it has nothing to do with geography. Within each segment the customers are very similar with very similar service output demands and the segments themselves have as many differences as possible. That may sound a little fuzzy, but if you had a solid customer segmentation process, you may end up with between 5 to 10 customer segments. Why are they segmented? Because those customers consume products differently, they have different needs in the market place, different demands.

Once you complete the segmentation process then you can refine your product strategy. ,

: “If you want to boil all this marketing intelligence down and not take the class, think STP. Remember the oil additive Andy Granitelli pitched for years. The STP of marketing is Segmenting, Targeting and Positioning.”

If you are going to really understand customers you have got to do all three. It is not just the products that are in the box. It includes your own value proposition. You need to take properly positioned products and align them to targeted market segments.

As an example, you might decide on the dealer segment where they buy a lot from your company, you are willing to invest money and provide a high level of service to those people. For the clients that buy from everybody based strictly on price, you might decide that is a segment, but you decide not to target it because it is not productive and doesn’t provide an adequate return. There is a high cost to serve, but you cannot have those discussions without understanding your customers. Volume alone is absolutely not a preferred criterion. If you look at volume all you know is what they are purchasing from you and you are never sure if that is 100% of their purchase or is that 50% of their purchases.

If you are going to be effective at marketing you must create a flow of information. How do I develop market insight? How do I get to know this? The answer is “ask the customers.”. CEO’s or Vice Presidents having a conversation with each other will generate rich qualitative data. That is the best way, but unfortunately senior executives have day jobs, other demanding responsibilities. The things that give you the next highest validity in terms of market insight are personal conversations between other professional peers, CFO to CFO , General Manager to General Manager or Purchasing to Purchasing.

An alternative to direct communication channels is putting together market focus groups, but don’t have your sales guys go out and do focus groups. It is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. It is just not going to work, because they are going to be selling and as soon as you put customers in front of a sales person they act differently because they are in front of a salesman. But, if all of a sudden Jody is sitting down with a bunch of customers and she says, “I am the executive of XYZ company” and it is clear from the beginning that she is not selling them something, but talking about industry issues, the tone of that conversation is more productive than a sales person could achieve. I am not taking anything away from sales people, but once you are in that role, everybody sort of puts on their buyer’s hat. You can also use a consultant to facilitate these focus groups.

Telephone surveys drop validity way down and are not recommended. A written survey gives you some insight, but nowhere near as much as the personal conversations or focus groups.

Reach out to your customers to better understand your markets and their demands. It can provide tremendous value and provide a different insight into your business. It helps you define specific best practice as it applies to success in your company.

By Kirk Bannerman

It was back in 2001 when I started looking for viable work at home opportunities. It was a time consuming process, but in retrospect, I give myself a pat on the back every month when I cash the check from my home based business. The primary purpose of this article is to perhaps help others make their selection with a little less time and effort than I had to expend.

Having spent many years running traditional “bricks and mortar” type businesses, I didn’t buy for one second the numerous heavily hyped, or worse yet, scam operations that touted the instant and fantastic riches that could be achieved (often with little or no effort required). While doing my research as to which business I would eventually pursue, this type of claim became an instant
trigger for me to move on to check out some other “opportunity”.

I mean, give me a break, if those claims were close to being true, why would they share their “secret” with anyone else? They would just execute their “magic system” and in short order would have made all the money that exists in the world…yeah, right!

In the course of my investigations, a few other natural filters surfaced to help me narrow down the realistic and legitimate opportunities from among the far too numerous unfounded offers. Early on, I determined that the “get in on the ground floor” offers were essentially smoke. After all, if I wanted to take a chance on the lottery, I would have purchased a ticket. Because of my business management experience, it soon became clear to me that three of the primary factors that would influence my choice would be:

*successful longevity (how long has this particular company been successfully doing business?)

*reasonable income expectations touted by the top management of the company offering the opportunity.

*support systems and training resources available to help the participants succeed.

One thing that really struck home with me was a statement made by the founder of the company that I eventually selected for my home based business. It went something like the following:

“Hardly a day goes by that I don’t hear from an affiliate questioning why he or she is not seeing a big check yet. More times than not, the person asking hasn’t even been involved for more than 90 days and is only barely beginning to even understand how the whole system works. And frankly, even if the number was six months, it’s still much too early to be expecting a significant income stream to have developed.

I always say that if you’re not willing to give a business at least a year, don’t even bother getting involved. You need to understand that it takes time to get to know all the nuances of the compensation plan. It takes time to determine which products you want to lead with. It takes time to develop a game plan. It takes time to figure out what marketing activities deliver the biggest bang for the buck. Anything worthwhile takes sustained effort. If you’re not thinking long term, you’ve set yourself up for failure.”

To sum it up, the selection process should focus on reality (there is no “magic” in home based businesses) and reject any so-called “opportunities” that seem too good to be true.

Let’s talk about win-win negotiating. Instead of trying to dominate the
other person and trick him into doing things he wouldn’t normally do, I
believe that you should work with the other person to work out your
problems and develop a solution with which both of you can win.

Your reaction to that may be, “Roger, you obviously don’t know much
about my industry. I live in a dog-eat-dog world. The people with whom I
negotiate don’t take any prisoners. They eat their young. There’s no
such thing as win-win in my industry. When I’m selling I’m obviously
trying to get the highest price I possibly can, and the buyer is obviously
trying to get the lowest possible price. When I’m buying the reverse is
true. How on Earth can we both win?”

So, let’s start out with the most important issue: What do we mean when
we say win-win? Does it really mean that both sides win? Or does it
mean that both sides lose equally so that it’s fair? What if each side
thinks that they won and the other side lostwould that be win-win?
Before you dismiss that possibility think about it more. What if you’re
selling something and leave the negotiation thinking, “I won. I would
have dropped the price even more if the other person had been a better
negotiator”? However the other person is thinking that she won and that
she would have paid more if you had been a better negotiator. So both
of you think that you won and the other person lost. Is that win-win? Yes,
I believe it is, as long as it’s a permanent feeling. As long as neither of
you wakes up tomorrow morning thinking, “Son of a gun, now I know
what he did to me. Wait until I see him again.”

That’s why I stress doing the things that service the perception that the
other side won, such as:

Don’t jump at the first offer.

Ask for more than you expect to get.

Flinch at the other side’s proposals.

Avoid confrontation.

Play Reluctant Buyer or Reluctant Seller.

Use the Vise gambit: You’ll have to do better than that.

Use Higher Authority and Good Guy/Bad Guy to make them think you’re
on their side.

Never offer to split the difference.

Set aside impasse issues.

Always ask for a trade-off and never make a concession without a
reciprocal concession.

Taper down your concessions.

Position the other side for easy acceptance.

Besides constantly servicing the perceptions that the other side won,
observe these four fundamental rules:

Rule one of win-win negotiating: Don’t narrow it down to just one issue

The first thing to learn is this: Don’t narrow the negotiation down to just
one issue. If, for example, you resolve all the other issues and the only
thing left to negotiate is price, somebody does have to win and
somebody does have to lose. As long as you keep more than one issue
on the table, you can always work trade-offs so that the other person
doesn’t mind conceding on price because you are able to offer
something in return.

Sometimes buyers try to treat your product as a commodity by saying,
“We buy this stuff by the ton. As long as it meets our specifications we
don’t mind who made it or where it comes from.” They are trying to treat
this as a one issue negotiation to persuade you that the only way you
can make a meaningful concession is to lower your price. When that’s
the case you should do everything possible to put other issues, such as
delivery, terms, packaging, and guarantees onto the table so that you
can use these items for trade-offs and get away from the perception that
this is a one-issue negotiation.

At a seminar, a commercial real estate sales person came up to me. He
was excited because he’d almost completed negotiating a contract for a
very large commercial building. “We’ve been working on it now for over
a year,” he said. “And we’ve almost got it resolved. In fact, we’ve
resolved everything except price, and we’re only $72,000 apart.” I
flinched because I knew that now that he’d narrowed it down to one
issue, then there had to be a winner and there had to be a loser.
However close they may be, they were probably heading for trouble.
In a one-issue negotiation, you should add other elements so that you
can trade them off later and appear to be making concessions.

So if you find yourself deadlocked with a one-issue negotiation, you
should try adding other issues into the mix. Fortunately, usually many
more elements than just the one main issue are important in
negotiations. The art of win-win negotiating is to piece together those
elements like putting together a jigsaw puzzle so that both people can
win. Rule one is, don’t narrow the negotiations down to just one issue.
While we may resolve impasses by finding a common ground on small
issues to keep the negotiation moving, you should never narrow it down
to one issue.

Rule two of win-win negotiating: People are not out for the same thing

Rule number two that makes you a win-win negotiator is the
understanding that people are not out for the same thing. We all have an
overriding tendency to assume that other people want what we want,
and because of this we believe that what’s important to us will be
important to them. But that’s not true.

The biggest trap into which neophyte negotiators fall is assuming that
price is the dominant issue in a negotiation. Many other elements, other
than price, that are important to the other person.

You must convince her of the quality of your product or service.
He needs to know that you will deliver on time.

She wants to know that you will give adequate management supervision
to their account. How flexible are you on payment terms?

Does your company have the financial strength to be a partner of theirs?

Do you have the support of a well-trained and motivated work force?

These all come into play, along with half-a-dozen other factors. When
you have satisfied the other person that you can meet all those
requirements, then, and only then, does price become a deciding factor.
So, the second key to win-win negotiating is this: Don’t assume that they
want what you want. Because if you do, you further make the
assumption that anything you do in the negotiations to help them get
what they want helps them and hurts you.

Win-win negotiating can come about only when you understand that
people don’t want the same things in the negotiation. So Power
Negotiating becomes not just a matter of getting what you want, but also
being concerned about the other person getting what he or she wants.
One of the most powerful thoughts you can have when you’re
negotiating with someone is not: “What can I get from them?” but “What
can I give them that won’t take away from my position?” Because when
you give people what they want, they will give you what you want in a
negotiation.

Rule three of win-win negotiating: Don’t try to get the last dollar off the
table

The third key to win-win negotiating is this: Don’t be too greedy. Don’t try
to get the last dollar off the table. You may feel that you triumphed, but
does that help you if the other person felt that you vanquished him? That
last dollar left on the table is a very expensive dollar to pick up. A man
who attended my seminar in Tucson told me that he was able to buy the
company that he owned because the other potential buyer made that
mistake. The other person had negotiated hard and pushed the seller to
the brink of frustration. As a final Nibble, the buyer said, “You are going
to put new tires on that pickup truck before you transfer title aren’t you?”

That straw broke the proverbial camel’s back. The owner reacted
angrily, refused to sell his company to him, and instead sold it to the
man at my seminar.

So, don’t try to get it all, but leave something on the table so that the
other person feels that she won also.

Rule four of win-win negotiating: Put something back on the table
The fourth key to win-win negotiating is this: Put something back on the
table when the negotiation is over. I don’t mean by telling them that
you’ll give them a discount over and above what they negotiated. I mean
do something more than you promised to do. Give them a little extra
service. Care about them a little more than you have to. Then you’ll find
that the little extra for which they didn’t have to negotiate means more to
them that everything for which they did have to negotiate.

Now let me recap what I believe about win-win negotiating:

People have different personality styles, and because of this, they
negotiate differently. You must understand your personality style, and, if
it’s different from the other person, you must adapt your style of
negotiating to theirs.

The different styles mean that in a negotiation, different people have
different goals, relationships, styles, faults, and different methods of
getting what they want.

Winning is a perception, and by constantly servicing the perception that
the other person is winning you can convince him that he has won
without having to make any concessions to him.

Don’t narrow the negotiation down to just one issue.

Don’t assume that helping the other person get what he wants takes
away from your position. You’re not out for the same thing. Poor
negotiators try to force the other person to get off the positions that
they’ve taken. Power negotiators know that even when positions are
180 degrees apart the interests of both sides can be identical, so they
work to get people off their positions and concentrating on their
interests.

Don’t be greedy. Don’t try to get the last dollar off the table.
Put something back on the table. Do more than they bargained for.

Establishing & maintaining rapport with your online audience is perhaps the single most important ingredient in marketing online. Actually in marketing period, but even more so online because of the lack of personal contact. Rapport is at the core of selling, always has been, always will be.

Let me tell you a little story.

Earlier this week, I got a call from a salesman after leaving a message about getting my stereo repaired. My expensive, but aging Nakamichi CD player is on the fritz, & I’m virtually tuneless. Not good.

It was a notable conversation for anybody interested in the art & science of persuasion. And in particular, the role rapport plays in that process.

My apprehension was this.

I bought the unit about 8 years ago, & I’m thinking. OK, this is going to cost me some money. I could probably now go out & buy a new CD player for the same amount. Just getting an estimate is going to cost me.

So the guy calls up, & immediately starts building rapport with me. How does he do it?

After introducing himself, he says, “So you’ve got an MB-1s, awesome unit, what do you listen to?” I tell him, “I’m into rhythm & blues & jazz”. He probes a little to see what kind of blues I dig, & we find ourselves rapping for a bit about how much we both love the music of Stevie Ray Vaughan.

And then without missing a beat, he says “So I suppose you’re wondering whether technology has advanced so far in 8 years that you could replace your MB-1s with a new unit for pennies on the dollar?

I say, “yes”.

And then he goes on to tell me. “Unless you’re prepared to fork out a sizable chunk of change on a relatively high end unit, your going to lose some of the raw analog warmth & character that oozes faithfully from Stevie’s Fender Stratocaster every time you slide a CD into that Nakamichi”.

And I’m like, Wow, thanks for saving my life dude.

This wasn’t the only guy I called, but I can tell you this. He was the only one I considered doing business with. And it came down to the rapport he created.

So what can we learn from this?

First off, let me point out that while this was a personal interaction, you should take the principle of rapport very seriously when it comes to your marketing.

The fundamentals are thus.

I liked this guy. Because I liked him, I listened to him. Because I listened to him, I believed him. And because I believed him, I bought from him. Sure it wasn’t a huge purchase. But what happened in those few minutes on the telephone takes place in virtually every sale you make, whether you’re an active participant in the process, or not.

You are developing an unspoken relationship with your customers, as a result of both your personal interaction, & every piece of online marketing you deliver.

The challenge is this. How do you generate rapport, when you don’t have the expensive luxury of personal contact with all of your clients at every stage of the buying cycle?

Here are a few ideas.

1) Be a person in your online marketing. Far too many businesses make the dreadful mistake of coming off as stuffy, corporate, & boring, in the name of professionalism. Your business can be professional, & still have character.

This is just as true in b2b & technical sales, as it is in consumer sales.

One of the best things you can do is deliver your marketing message in the first person. You should voice a friendly, rapport-building persona in virtually every kind of direct response advertising you do.

2) Communicate with your prospects, in their own words. If you’re marketing to engineers, & you know they use acronyms, use acronyms. If you’re selling to the CEO, speak in plain English. Just common sense, but so often ignored. If you’re selling b2b, understand that there are multiple decision makers involved. Find a way to speak to them all. Use multiple campaigns if need be.

3) And finally, give your customers more than they expect. It is rare to do business with a company that demonstrates a genuine concern for the actual outcomes that their customers experience as a result of a purchase.

This is very different than simply being committed to the satisfactory performance of your product or service. You build rapport by showing your prospects exactly how what you’re selling “fits in” to what they are already doing.

In the final analysis, your prospects & customers should feel like they know you as a person from your marketing & advertising. More importantly, they should know you as the kind of person they would call a friend, & look forward to hearing from.

The next concern for you after designing and developing web pages is to get your web site hosted on the Internet. But with so many web hosting companies offering various types of web hosting packages - shared web hosting, dedicated web hosting, managed web hosting, which type of hosting should you choose?

As a general rule, it is a good idea to go for shared web hosting if you are a small business owner and cost is your major concern. But before you make your hosting decision, let us first understand what is shared web hosting service and what are the advantages and disadvantages of shared web hosting.

What is shared web hosting?

Shared web hosting service is a convenient and economic way of hosting web sites if you do not require extremely high performance and high bandwidth. As its name suggests, in shared web hosting service, the web server that hosting the web pages are shared by many other websites. The number of websites on a shared hosting server can go up to thousands at times. Due to one large and high performance web server is shared by hosting many different websites on it, web hosting companies providing shared web hosting service could offer them at an economic rates.

Even with so many websites hosted on a web server, you can be rest assured that the web hosting providers will not compromise on any kind of security and performance issues on the shared hosting servers. Moreover, shared hosting web servers are operated, monitored and maintained around the clock by IT professionals to ensure minimum server downtimes.

Technically speaking, shared hosting servers are run on Unix or other multi-user operating system and each website hosted on the web server is given a separate account in the operating system. Typically, websites hosted on shared servers are given a shared IP addresses and allocated a fix amount of web resources.

Let’s examine the advantages and disadvantages of shared web hosting before you consider shared web hosting service:

Advantages of Shared Web Hosting Service
