The Secrets of Registration Forms That Produce Big Attendance
Your first task is to cover the basics that every registration form needs to cover. Here are the basic elements of any registration form: Your logo Date & title of the event Location of the event The cost of registration The agenda for the event An indication of how long the registration process will take (for paper forms, this would be a pagination number like 'Page 1 of 5', for online forms it is a completion timeline) It can be difficult to include all of this on a paper registration form (a great reason to go paperless!) but it should definitely be included within the registration materials packet.Once you have the basics covered, there are several extra items you can add to a registration form. Each one of the following helps provide your potential attendee with extra motivation to register. Try these out for your next event: Add a money-back guarantee For online forms: add indicators of security like a Hackersafe logo, and a privacy policy Also for online forms: add an 'Invite a Friend' link Provide reasons the registrant should attend, or a "What you will learn/gain..." section Photos from previous events N

The challenges of the CeMAP exams are that you need to learn the qualification content and pass the exams at 70% but that is not all. Many people coming into the mortgage industry have not sat exams for years and in some cases not since they left school. Our CeMAP training courses were built for individuals who are new to the mortgage industry and as a consequence, we teach the course content and mock examine you on a daily basis.

To Serve Man
My favorite episode of "The Twilight Zone" is one where aliens arrive on earth and are recruiting people to come back with them to their home planet. They treat the humans with great respect and they have have a book that they keep referring to called, "To Serve Man". Many of the earthlings are captivated with the space men, who seem to be treating them like gods, with the goal to deliver them their greatest desires.Some however are skeptical of the whole situation. While crowds are lining up to go with the aliens, expecting to be worshiped, others doubt that the motivation of the space travelers. Just has hundreds leave on the space ship to be taken into space, one of the humans runs out with a look of horror on his face. He has just finished translating "To Serve Man". He screams; "STOP....IT'S A COOKBOOK !!!!".If you want to build a successful network of contacts that will lead to referrals and more business, you must go out of your way to "serve" others. Finding ways to selflessly help them will lead to others helping you. But your motivation must be sincere. If you are just doing it to get something in return, eventually someone will figure it out and expose you as a fraud. Your plan cannot be to devour the others.In my book, "Some Assembly Requi

We all strive for success by studying for university degrees, attend courses and continuously look for a spark for direction in life and it’s not until we see a professional person in front of us that we realise that it’s a job that we would like to do. It seems easy watching that individual working at the height of their career without realising what price they have had to pay to achieve success.

Being in the Financial Services Industry for over 20 years, many people have asked me what it takes to become a successful mortgage broker. As the Marketing Director of Money Marketing Limited, a company that trains hundreds of budding UK mortgage advisers per month, I feel that I am well qualified to answer that question.

“ It takes dedication, focus, hard work and the ability to strive for success.”

So what criteria should you use when deciding on your future career direction? Well, try asking yourself a few of the following questions:

· Do you think that you would enjoy helping people with their finances?
· Would you prefer to be an employee?
· Would you like to be self-employed?
· Are you determined to become a high earner?
· Are you intent on being successful?
· Would you like to be in charge of your own destiny?

A ‘yes’ answer to most of these could mean that you should consider investigating how to become a mortgage broker but before you do, let’s look a little further. The start to becoming a mortgage advisor means is passing a mortgage advice qualification and in my opinion the most recognised one in the UK is the Certificate in Mortgage Advice and Practice (CeMAP)

Do you need to have a degree to pass the exams? You will not need academic qualifications to be able to pass the Cemap exams but one thing you will need is a strong desire to succeed in a highly competitive industry.

If you are looking to start a career in Financial Services as a mortgage advisor but are finding it hard to get your foot in the door, let our dedicated team of industry-experienced CeMAP training professionals lead the way. We have people travelling to our venues from all parts of the country including Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

We successfully help individuals to pass their mortgage advice qualifications in literally days of intensive, fast track cemap training. Having said that, it can be easy for the gifted people who are just natural at passing academic exams. I recently spent a week with a group of 10 delegates on a CEMAP 2 & 3 training course and the range of abilities on the course was extremely diverse. The challenge here for the cemap trainer was to get them all to the same standard by the end of the week and prepare them for their exams, the week after. Nine out of the ten passed their relevant exams.

Sales 101: Your Most Important Sale
Professional selling is usually perceived as an extroverted activity, a career choice for those with a particularly outgoing personality, well suited to that profession. While this may be generally true, there are countless examples of successful salespeople from a variety of backgrounds with an even wider variety of personalities that are hardly traditional with regard to the typical stereotype of a salesperson.Selling requires a skill set, hence is an art that must be successfully learned. Yes, while it is true that some persons are predisposed to a career in sales because of their extroverted personality and charm, there is far more contributing to their sales success than mere congeniality and charisma. Successful selling requires learned skills, ongoing study, practice and experience. Selling is definitely a learned profession.While qualities such as integrity, confidence, positive attitude, patience, persistence, effective listening, a sense of purpose, established goals, planning, knowledge, questioning skills and countless others typically combine for an individual's sales success, there is often one single trait that is evident among successful salespeople across the board. It involves the most important sale each of us will ever make… that is selli

Dissenion Down On The Cubicle Farm
How content and satisfied are American employees? Not very!According to Corinne Maier, a psychotherapist and author of “Bonjour Laziness,” corporate cubicle inhabitants are anything but tranquil and joyous. These natives are truly restless.This French writer quotes a Gallup study of employed American professionals showing that:1. Some 17% claim to be "actively disengaged" in their jobs, close possibly to acts of sabatoge, some rather subtle.2. And 54% claim to be "not engaged" in their jobs.3. The remaining 29% are "crazy about" their jobs.These are the attitude findings of "professional" employees. How much worse would these findings be if employees of ALL kinds had been interviewed by Gallup?And what leads to such overwhelmingly negative attitudes with only 29% job satisfaction, anyway?Maier explains:1. "Reverse Verbal Signals" and "The Idiocy Of Lies." Example: a company remarks that it "values jobs" but then has massive layoffs.2. Add managerial jargon, gibberish, power struggles, excess emphasis on diplomas and degrees, and employers demanding a lot from employees--but promising and delivering next to nothing in return.3. Also add blathering about the "corporate cultu

Focus On Their Needs not Yours
"The point is ladies and gentlemen, that greed… for lack of a better word is good." Gordon GekkoSaving money, generating cash flow (creating an atmosphere where the employer can do those two things) are all the employer is interested in. They will not hire you because their bank accounts are swollen and about to burst and they need a way to get rid of the money. Before you try to market yourself to the employer, you need to get focused on their Greed Gland. Business is about profit, pure and simple. Even non-profit organizations have to keep costs down and funds flowing in, to stay alive. So how are you going to do that for them?Will what you have to offer make their life easier, richer or more productive? If you weren’t a solution to some of their concerns, then why would they want to talk to you? When I’m coaching a client on how to approach a company or business, I will ask them to consider what the concerns may be for the manager or owner for that position. Is it generating sales? Is it expanding the client base? Is it keeping costs down by eliminating waste? Or is it creating a strong team that can do all three? Communicate to them how you’re going to do any or all of those things and the position is yours.Go back through your work history an

How To Make Money From Your Pay Slip
With the prices of basic commodities on the upsurge, it is not enough that people rely on their salaries alone. In fact, if you want to survive in today’s world, you need to use money to make more money.That is probably the reason why it is the rich that get rich while the middle class stay in the middle and the poor are still in the E class. It takes a lot of money to make money. Without the finances to start a worthwhile investment or a business, you will have to rely forever on the good graces of your monthly play slips.Still, if you do not have all that much to risk in a new venture, you can always put some of your excess money in investments that may not yield big but will still cushion your finances from the effects of inflation. Below are some tips on how to make more money from your pay slip.Go with the bankThis is perhaps the most common way of investing your money. Nowadays, you can actually open a bank account with just a small amount. Try to save at least a portion of your monthly salary. A goodly 10 or 20 percent is enough to make a tidy sum at the end of one year. In addition to giving you a small percentage of profit every year, it can also help you in saving up as it will psychologically require you to set aside a few amounts ev

The advantage to this system is obvious, not only are you learning the course content but the exam techniques as well. With strengths and weaknesses identified on a daily basis, it is easy to identify the areas that require extra tuition during the week. This proven system allows us to help hundreds of people get through their Certificate in Mortgage Advice & Practice (CeMAP) exams per month.

Do take care, as the route to becoming a mortgage adviser could be fraught with dangers for the unprepared and under researched person, as the journey could be a long and arduous one. Care should be taken when choosing the company for the initial CeMAP training as many organisations are strictly in the business of offering either a two-day revision course or a self-study CeMAP examination course that in our opinion is not enough. Further to this there are unscrupulous organisations that may try to lure individuals into offering cheap CeMAP training courses and then taking ?5,000, ? 6,000 or even ?9,000 off them in an attempt to recruit them into their mortgage business as mortgage advisers or offering them an expensive mortgage franchise.

Have you ever wanted to know before hand how a CeMAP training course might run on a daily basis? Well here is a fly on the wall account of a recent CeMAP 2 & 3 combined training course that I attended in London run by Money Marketing Limited for 10 budding mortgage advisers.

Monday 9.00 am
We all reported to the conference centre of the Premier Travel Inn at Enfield, where the trainer greeted 10 very apprehensive and nervous delegates all looking for our allocated seats and nodding to each other in greetings. The most pleasing thing was the friendly atmosphere that was created by the welcoming trainer and quickly putting us at ease and introducing the week ahead. The most surprising thing was two large folders in front of each delegate, one labelled Course Notes and the other Course Exams.

Well away we go covering the first part of the course and hey, what’s this? Are we being tested so early? Yep, sure thing, mock multiple choice exam questions at the end of each covered section. Not used to this, not done any exams since my school days. Still, must attempt them and see how it goes.

The first day flew by. What? Homework? Not much chance for socialising in the bar tonight then. Still, I had better get my head down and focus.

Tuesday 9.30 am
Later start today, needed that extra half hour to pull myself together. Marked the homework first thing and got 72% not bad. Off we go following the course notes, delegates asking questions to the trainer who shows a high degree of knowledge. Quite liked being able to ask questions and clarify things, certainly couldn’t do that on a self-study course. I’m getting into this multi choice exams system now, usually there are two definitely wrong answers and that only leaves two left to think about.

Some of these questions are rather difficult and I haven’t done formulas and maths for ages. Hey, the trainer said that all us t

For any job search, there are three basic steps you need to take in order to be successful. You might be surprised to learn that hundreds of job seekers every day overlook these basic steps. In other words, you can do just a few things really well, and outshine most other job seekers.
