David Copperfield - live at the MGM Grand Hotel Las Vegas! You might be fascinated to know what I discovered behind the curtain. I was lucky enough to assist him with one segment of his show. Of course I was sworn to secrecy and cannot reveal the magic behind that trick.Watching a master at work inspired me to do more than just watch - to observe and learn. I can reveal to you the secrets of David Copperfield that you can apply to your business.There is no magicThe first rule. Reality. You will not reach success - in any field because of magic. Copperfield does not claim magical powers. He proudly points out that it is illusion. Masterful illusion. The secret is in the mastery.Illusion is more powerful than realityYou might wonder - "how does he do those amazing things?" And you might believe him to be embodied with special powers. Why? Because you se

Conducting a successful job search means anticipating the expectations of a decision-maker.Whether you meet in a traditional interview or in the alternate “first meeting” format we recommend, you must be prepared to meet expectations.Take a look at yourself and your work history through the eyes of a prospective employer. It helps you objectify your credentials. Because, if they don’t make sense to a prospective employer, they DON’T MAKE SENSE . . . no matter how thrilling they are to you.Fortunately you have plenty of marketable assets that will attract an employer’s attention. In particular there are three categories of marketable assets that can help you make a favorable impression.1. Qualifying experiences: you have what it takes to do the job.2. Bridge skills: you have the smarts to move forward and take on new assignments.3. Workstyle values: you p
Here's the catch. Not all smiles are created equal. Genuine smiles and fake smiles don't have the same power and impact. And secondly, genuine smiles are not produced by executive decree. To believe otherwise is to believe a myth. Unless you hired Mona Lisa, the road to getting magical smiles is not easy or automatic.
Without even knowing it, our "fake" detector is always turned on. We unconsciously read body language, facial signals, giving us an impression whether a smile is genuine or plastic.
Have you ever met someone and felt that you had been thrown a fake smile? A salesman? Someone at a singles bar? Your in-laws? Actually, you could list almost any group as occasionally guilty of less-than-genuine smiles.

It seems obvious that you should strive to always satisfy your customers; however, many businesses ignore this very simple principle. Your existing customers are your most valuable asset, you must take care of them.Satisfied customers will refer others to your site. This is more valuable than any advertising that you can buy. Research shows that referrals from existing customers are far more valuable than search engine referrals to your business.Further, a dissatisfied customer can spread poison over your sales. The internet spreads your reputation as fast as the click of a mouse.The lifetime value of your customer is far more than the value of the first sale. Satisfying your customers is a continual process. Check up with them to be sure that they received what they needed. Over deliver on all of your promises. In this way, your customers will ready and willing to buy f

One of the first references in the realm of branding was presented by Robinson (1933), who maintained that it is possible to sell to different target audiences a variety of brands of the same product that are similar to one another. The reason is that they are different in quality, have different names, and bear different labels. Since this historical reference, branding has become a major marketing domain. In recent years, branding has been transformed from a means of identifying merchandise into a main element in the strategy of organizations. The changes in the perception of branding and the recognition of the importance of the new perspective were slow. Until recently, many organizations in the world tended to analyze marketing problems from a broad perspective of product perception. However, today the business viewpoint has changed and is more focused on than in the past, and is guided by the b

Do the first five seconds of your radio ads make anyone want to hear more? Probably not. The writing and voicing of 99 of 100 ads share this quality: they’re positively, truly boring. Why is this, and what can you do to make sure your ads get listened to?You’re going to hate this: When the vast majority of ads are aired, listeners' minds go someplace else. Hear the alarm bells going off in your head? You’re wondering if your ads really are that bad, because you’re spending a large number of dollars running them. If your business is doing well, you undoubtedly think a lot of it is due to your ads. I’d bet more than even money that your ads don’t have much to do with your success, again, because most ads are terrible. If your ads were truly good, your business would be doing even better.Your ads are getting tuned out because, first, they sound like ads. People hate ads. They

Sometimes employers may try to use redundancy as an excuse for dismissing employees. There is, however, a clear distinction between your position genuinely becoming redundant and being unfairly dismissed.If you are dismissed for reasons of redundancy then your dismissal must be caused by your employer's need to reduce their workforce. Your employer has to demonstrate your role in the company is no longer required and they must follow the correct redundancy procedure - otherwise, it can be viewed as a case of unfair dismissal.Grounds for RedundancyIn order to protect employees from being made redundant on unnecessary grounds, employment law specifies certain conditions for a redundancy to be genuine:• Cessation of the employer’s business operations or the part of its operations for which the employee was hired;• Rel

He recalls greeting his first customer: "I don't think I'll ever forget the look on their faces...I saw the fear." But wait a minute. I'm sure he greeted them with a cheerful Hello. And you can be certain he sported a flashy smile. What happened?
Having a customer warm up to a sales person or front-line greeter is more complicated than a genuine or fake smile. A good, trusting relationship doesn't happen at the snap of a finger or the flash or a smile. A solid relationship is complex and it takes time. Let's examine some of the considerations and factors that help us understand promoting good customer service, good first impressions, and good relationships.
First, you can't mandate smiles for you subordinates. I love the story about teaching pigs to sing. It turns out to be an impossible task. "It frustrates the farmer and irritates the pigs." And I'll bet you that the farmer can't sing any better th
