Nobody expects that. In fact,
Nobody expects that. In fact, I think a secretary wouldn?t mind such a call; it could make him feel important.
Once getting through to the secretary, or whoever it is that you speak to, the trick is to get your marketing material in friend of the prospect via a referral from her. That way, you get the referral, and the prospect gets your marketing material in his hands
before
you ask for a meeting ? all without a single cold call to the prospect.
You seek referrals from other points of contact within the company of the prospect that you target. That's why Rick Spence calls it "off-target marketing." I like to call it "the anti-cold-call." It's a selling technique and it' different. I like it!
Tino Buntic would like to thank Rick Spence for writing about great business ideas, including off-target marketing. Tino also invites you to visit Trade Pals.

Foreclosure filings fall for 7th month
0 Comments | Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, Jul 14, 2010 | by Rebecca U Cho
San Bernardino County's foreclosure filings fell in June for the seventh month in a row, according to an Irvine-based foreclosure tracking firm.
Filings were down 42.3percent from June 2009, a trend of year-to- year declines that has persisted in the county and California since December, according to RealtyTrac. The company collects data from 2,200 counties nationwide.
Banks' attempts to avoid foreclosures through loan modifications and short sales are drawing out the foreclosure process, leading to a slowdown of properties moving through each stage of foreclosure, said Robert Kleinhenz, deputy chief economist for the California Association of Realtors.
"The length of time of a property in any stage of foreclosure is much, much longer," Kleinhenz said. "So I think that is stretching out and leveling out the number of properties going through each stage of foreclosure."
San Bernardino County foreclosure activity also declined from the month before by 17.2 percent to 5,413 properties.
Loan modifications, or a change to the mortgage loan agreement, can add about three months to the process, Kleinhenz said. In a short sale, a lender sells property for less than the original mortgage amount.
All three stages of foreclosure tracked by RealtyTrac - defaults, auction notices and bank repossessions - decreased slightly in the county from May to June.
For homeowners and real estate professionals trying to get loans modified or sell homes in order to avoid foreclosures, the experience has been distressing, said Niema Thomas, a Rancho Cucamonga-based real-estate agent with Century 21 Beachside.
"Banks are trying to do short sales, but it's just been a long and lengthy process," Thomas said

Periodically, they unpack these
Periodically, they unpack these suitcases and review every situation in which they feel they were treated unfairly.
"Resentment is an extremely bitter diet, and eventually poisonous. I have no desire to make my own toxins," declares Neil Kinnock. Hanging on to anger and resentment is toxic, and the resulting sludge can slowly poison you.
It's easy to lose your perspective about the bigger picture and to be become obsessed with how things "should" have been and how others "should" have treated you. In your mind, you may visualize yourself zapping the other person with the perfect verbal comeback or having the opportunity to get even in some way.

Getting trained in a trade will give you confidence and allow you to find a great job. Employers want trained people. Give them what they want and you'll get want you want. Having a skill set is like having money in your wallet, you can lose!
So many people are stuck in boring jobs because they didn't take the time to find out what is out there. They just fell into some job and all of a sudden that's their career. You're going to spend at least one third of your life working. You need to take time and consider what you want to do.
Do some research and see if there is a perfect career fit for you. Don't you want to go through life loving your occupation instead of dreading the job?

RECIPE OF THE WEEK; Food Salmon with new potatoes and beetroot pesto
RECIPE OF THE WEEK; Food Salmon with new potatoes and beetroot pesto
0 Comments | Journal (Newcastle, England), The, July 11, 2008
THIS week's recipe uses a beetroot pesto as its sauce. We recently received a complaint on a comment card saying that we obviously didn't know what pesto was as it contains basil, and I guess we were guilty of confusing things. But if I wanted to be pedantic, the word pesto derives, I understand, from the Latin pestle meaning to damage or crush, hence the tool used to crush herbs and spices in a mortar.
Generally considered to have originally come from Genoa, northern Italy, Pesto alla Genovese is a thick sauce comprising basil, salt and garlic, crushed together in a mortar and pestle before the addition of crushed pine nuts, Italian hard cheese (such as Parmesan) and olive oil. Here, we've replaced the basil with beetroot to give it an unusual twist.
Two whole beetroots, washed and boiled until tender then peeled
Two cloves garlic, peeled
50g grated Parmesan cheese
50g toasted pine nuts
Extra virgin olive oil
Four salmon fillets - about 200g to 250g each, skin on
A couple of handfuls of wild rocket
Three red onions, peeled and cut into wedges
Red wine vinegar
300g Jersey new potatoes, boiled and halved
Sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper
Pre-heat the oven to 200degC, gas mark 6.
First make the pesto by blending together the peeled beetroot, garlic, Parmesan and pine nuts. Add enough olive oil to make a loose paste and season to taste with salt and pepper.
You could use the traditional mortar and pestle which will give a slightly more rustic sauce.
Heat an oven-proof frying pan, add a little olive oil and fry the salmon fillets, skin side down, for a few minutes until the skin begins to crisp. Turn the fillets over, add a little salt and pepper and place in the oven for a further five or six minutes.
Meanwhile, drop the onion wedges into a pan of boiling water for 45 seconds.
Remove and drain then add them to the potatoes and rocket in a mixing bowl. Add a slug of olive oil, a little salt and pepper and a dash of red wine vinegar.
Mix and taste, adjusting the salt, pepper and vinegar if necessary.
To serve, pile the onion and potato mixture on to serving plates, place the salmon on top and add a dollop of beetroot pesto.

We wonder what way going through his
We wonder what way going through his mind when composing such soulful pieces. They appear to us to be born from such great loss or sadness. If your mood was already on a lift at the beginning of this album, then I can assure you that you will be reaching for your hankies by the end of it. Polly Samson, the co writer and major influence behind this album, appears on vocal along with Gilmour.
Their next piece is entitled ?A Pocketful Of Stones.? We note Leszek Mozdzer on piano, Lucy Wakeford on harp and Alasdair Malloy on glass harmonica. We actually don?t recognise easily these peculiar instruments but their influence must be present somewhere. It may take a few listens to this album to start to form recognitions of these instruments. As we would listen intensely to Pink Floyd albums, we here, should do the same. Again, we are lead, in an entranced state into the final piece ?Where We Start.? A gentle, melodic piece that takes us to the end of this unusual album.
Where Pink Floyd was experimental and diverse, we find Gilmour in his twilight years here on a very strong reflective note.
