Hurry! Good People On Sale!
Trend is men will go first and women will be hired at 70% salaries
Remember in the 70s when our dads got laid off? Our moms went to work while our dads did work that was below their skill set and well below their salaries.
Well, it’s happening again!
What are you gonna do?
FIRST and Foremost, Get your list of connections in order before you are asked to hire your replacements.
Understand the importance of your contact list. Most folks undervalue the LIST.
What if your competitor offers you a choice position? Now how important is your List?
Or what if you realize the cutbacks your current company is implementing will sacrifice quality and you decide that you want to start a competing company and bring your Top clients with you. Now how valuable is that List?
Don’t just consider if they can offer you a new position or business, but can they connect you to the RIGHT person. It’s not just who you know, but rather who THEY know.
Next, start reconnecting, let people know that things are shaky at your current employers and you are exploring your options.
Referability Expert and Author, Michelle Donovan, wrote a great article on activating your network after a layoff. This is a MUST READ ever if you think you’re safe!
In the last week, I’ve heard three different very successful professionals talk about the importance of relationships in achieving their success.
Think about it for a moment.
Relationships, both personal and professional really matter. In business, Word of Mouth is still the most effective way to find quality products or services.
How many times have you asked friends, family or co-workers, Who do you know that . .
People Do Business With People They Know, Like and Trust.
How strong are those relationships? Both Personal and Professional Relationships. What can you do to strengthen them?

Life Is Too Short!!!
Arrggh! First Marvalyn, now Aunt Mary!!Mary Randa Balster was an extraordinary woman! She was all about Family. Her family always came first. Aunt Mary’s home was warm and relaxed. She opened her arms and her home to everyone that walked through her doors. She made you feel special. Aunt Mary’s love wasn’t conditional. She just loved you because you were you! Not many people are like that.
Aunt Mary always hosted all the holiday celebrations. On average, there were between 30 to 40 or more people at any party. So much food that you just couldn’t help over eating. Oh and all the desserts! Pies! Cookies! Cakes! Then maybe if it were nice out, we would play a little Bacci. But the real fun was after dinner, after the dishes were cleared and we all sat around the table and laughed over old family stories. We would laugh until we cried and our sides hurt.
With her passing, my fear is the family will splinter off and we’ll only see them at weddings and funerals. I don’t know if anyone is up for the task of trying to fill those BIG shoes!
(How 'bout it Suz, you think you're up for it?)
Aunt Mary is back with Uncle Hank now.
We Love You and We Will Miss You Aunt Mary!

Tomorrow may be too late.
Yesterday, my friend, Marvalyn Germany, passed away in her sleep.
Marvalyn had a unique perspective on life and was well, she was quite a pisser!
She had it tough but overcame the crap life tossed her way. Marvalyn married at a very young age to an abusive man. She ultimately left with her children to start a new life. She ran several small businesses before become one of Pittsburgh’s Finest. Marvalyn did find love again with a good, gentle man, Jeffery, who loved her dearly. (We all loved Marvalyn, but how can you not!) Then a job related injury forced her into early retirement.
Marvalyn made me laugh. There isn’t enough laughter in this world.
Now, I am angry.
I am angry with myself.
You see, Marvalyn just had a birthday a couple of weeks ago and we were planning to get together for lunch to celebrate.
First she had to cancel, then I cancelled and we just never found the time to get together as we had planned.
I was planning to call her tomorrow, but it too late now. There is no tomorrow.
Life is too short to let the piddley things get in the way of the relationships that you value.
Pick up the phone and call someone you care about. Invite them out for a coffee or a drink or what ever, just don’t let another day go by.
Tomorrow may be too late.
Farewell my friend! I will miss you Marvalyn!

How A Greeting Card Caught The Attention Of The Mayflower Madam And Launched A Cascade Of New Opportunities!
Having been in Marketing for over twenty years, I thought I knew it all.
Ha!
A few weeks ago, I was on a Dan Kennedy Tele-Seminar presented by none other than Sydney Biddle Barrows, the Former Mayflower Madam.
Now here was an amazing woman! Her life takes a down turn but rather than go run and hide, she embraces it and publishes The Mayflower Madam, which incidentally, is on the must read list of all the top MBA programs. Then she goes on to be one of the top Sales and Marketing consultants!
Now that woman has Eggs! I like that!
As she spoke about selling the Experience, I suddenly understood what it really meant to sell the sizzle, not the steak.
WOW!
Well, I just had just had to send her a Thank You card telling her how much I enjoyed the Tele-seminar and I had the XXX Uncensored Sales Strategies on order.
I choose a card with my favorite piece, Morning Fog Gives Way with the thought that Hey; she just might like my artwork and keep the card on her desk for a few days – or longer!
Now, the note was no great prose. (Which is the main reason I was drawn to the Kennedy concepts, to improve my copywriting skills. My background was more boring technical writing, You know, Step 1 do this, Step 2 do that, etc. So, please bear with me as my dull writing skills develop – but I digress)
Anyway, it was just a simple Thank You note. Three simple lines expressing my appreciation for her presentation.
(Hard to be believe it was just three lines considering how long winded I can be, eh?)
Then She emailed me to Thank Me for taking the time to Thank Her!!!
DOUBLE WOW!
Well, that began a string of emails and a Blonde joke, which she just loved! That exchange culminated into an offer from Sydney to include the joke and a short blurb and link to my newest website www.MadHattersTeapot.com in her Newsletter.
HOLY $#!&
What and Effing Awesome Opportunity!
Ok remember to breath!
How Did This Wonderful Thing Happen!?! (I began hearing the Talking Heads song Once in a Lifetime in my head).
All I did was send a simple greeting card.
MadHattersTeapot.com now has the attention of Sydney Biddle Barrows network! And all because of a simple greeting card.
I wonder where this will lead?
Which leads me to the question: When was the last time You said Thank You, I appreciate what you have brought into my life. As my gift, I invite you to send a Real greeting card to someone special. Someone who has made your life better. Let them know what they mean to you. Who knows how a simple greeting card can affect your life!
Visit www.GreetingCardsB2B.com, turn your speakers on and click the banner. You will be guided through the process of sending a real card. No Risk! No Strings!
