How Can Highly Effective Train The Trainer Training Save Time and Money in a Corporation?
There's no getting around it. Training is costly. Corporations have to train their employees, of course, in order for them to work most efficiently and productively. But there's no sense in sending employees to training, if they learn very little while they are there. That is just a waste of money.To a corporation, sending employees to ineffective training creates the following situation:• it costs them money for the initial, ineffective training• the employee usually has to take time out of work for the training, which makes things difficult for the corporation while they are gone• when the employee comes back, the corporation may not at first realize that the employee still needs further training — and until they figure this out, the employee operates in an unproductive, inefficient manner, costing the corporation more time and money• T

A Review of Popular Metal Detector Products
Metal detectors come with a control box that contains the circuitry, controls, speaker, batteries and the microprocessor; a shaft that connects the control box and the coil; a search coil that actually senses the metal; and a stabilizer that keeps the unit steady as it is moved. The performances of the detectors are based on the features of these parts.Tesoro Metal Detectors At less than 2? pounds, the Tesoro Golden Max lets you control what you want to find.

I am That Guy.

And I didn’t even mean for it to happen. It just did.

It all started five years ago when I had a crazy idea to start wearing a nametag to make people friendlier. The only catch was, I planned to wear it all day. Everyday. For the rest of my life.

I know.

But it worked. It worked really well. And aside from the obvious jokes about my memory problems, the occasional (by which I mean constant) stares from strangers, and the initial feelings of embarrassment, it was beautiful! People acted friendlier. Approachability was in the air. And strangers said hello who otherwise would have stared at the pavement!

Then, after about 6 months, something happened. People didn’t just call me Scott anymore. They called me “Scott, that guy with the nametag.” And that’s when everything changed. That’s when I became That Guy. And just like all the other business people who once discovered that they too, were That Guy, I never looked back.

And a result, being That Guy has now become the single most advantageous factor of my business.

That Guy is an individual, not an actual “guy.” I ask you to please ignore the gender of the term, even though I refer to him in the masculine. That Guy is someone whose unique personality, values and lifestyle consistently pervades everything he does, thinks and says.

In other words: somebody who reminds everybody of nobody else.

Some experts call it personal branding. Knowing thy self. Starting with your strengths. Differentiation. Keeping it real. Standing out. Being unique.

Whatever.

Same skeleton, different flesh. I like the term That Guy because it humanizes the concept of individuality. You can have lunch with That Guy. You can call That Guy for advice. You can tell your friends and customers to go to That Guy’s website. Because That Guy...is just cool. And he holds permanent shelf space in your mind.

Who is That Guy?
Have you ever heard of Jared Fogel? Of course you have. Everybody knows Jared. He’s that guy who lost over 250 pounds eating nothing but Subway sandwiches for an entire year. But that was only the beginning. Jared has now made a career out of his accomplishments. In addition to being the official spokesperson for the company, Jared is the go-to guy for education about weight loss, discipline and nutrition. As a result, he has a profitable career that helps millions of people each year attain healthy lifestyles.

Not to mention, he probably gets lots of free sandwiches.

The best part is, Jared Fogel used to be Some Guy. But then he found a way to personify his values, uniqueness and talents into a business and life that inspired and helped others. And now, he’s That Guy.

Now, he’s somebody who reminds everybody of nobody.

Why Be That Guy?
Being That Guy is advantageous to your business in several ways. First, there’s the connection. Customers don’t buy products, they buy people they like and relate to FIRST. Then – and only then - do they buy products.

Next is trust. You see, customers no longer trust big companies due to the proliferation of corporate scandals and corruption (thanks Enron!). They want a face. A person. An individual they can confide in. So when it comes down to business, everyone trusts That Guy. Because he’s a human, not a company.

Then there’s credibility, an aura of expertise which is perceived by your customers based on your actions. Not your intentions, your actions. Because people only give you credit for what they see you do - consistently.

That Guy also projects authenticity. This is a characteristic present in any That Guy because he keeps it real. He maintains congruency between what he believes, what he says and what he does. This is essential to business success not only because your customers are smarter than ever before, but also because they have better BS meters than ever before.

Lastly, there’s confidence, the one emotion you want flowing through the mind and heart of every person you serve. Because when you’re That Guy, customers will be confident you’re the best. Confident that you will serve them better than anyone. Confident that you’re so incredibly unique, knowledgeable and valuable, that you become somebody who reminds them of nobody. And in the end, customers want to work with someone who is authentic, real and has passion for what he does. In other words, people want to work with That Guy, not Some Guy.

Looking for Word-of-Mouth Referrals
You probably have realized that word-of-mouth can be a very strong marketing tool. Most self-employed professionals know that referrals can be a great building block. But you may think that building enough word-of-mouth to generate a substantial amount of business is a dream.

Up Is Not the Only Way
When I first entered the workforce, the path for moving forward and advancing my career was steep and hierarchical. In some ways, it reminded me of the steps required to ascend the temples in Chitza Nitza, Mexico. If you have ever climbed the pyramid at Chitza Nitza, you know that it’s not too bad at the lower levels, but gets more challenging the higher you go. And as you might expect, it was pretty lonely at the top.Today, the organizational realm in which we work has been dramatically altered. Organizations are flatter, with fewer middle management positions. Those that do hold those positions now have broader spans of control with more responsibility. Downsizing or “rightsizing” has become an accepted business practice in most companies. And, we have come to know, that we all have limited -- if any -- job security.Not to worry! There are still plenty of opp
