What To Do If Somebody Doesn't Want To Look At Your Business Opportunity
I was at a networking site talking to MLMer's about their problems and concerns. One concern keeps on popping up and that is why people are so stupid to not want to make more money.What most MLMer's don't realize is that the uninterested prospect isn't really stupid, and it's not really the prospect's fault. But it is the fault of the MLMer not to move on and find the more qualified prospects. Here's how the conversation went.MLMer: I just ask a person to listen to a pho

Links are one of the most convenient features of the internet. The ability to go from website to website and land exactly at the information you are looking for is like opening a book and getting the page you need every time.

If you can anticipate the information that your event participants need and point them directly to it, when they need it, you will get more registrations and make registering and attending your event more enjoyable and beneficial.

Before we get to a list of links that you may want to use, keep in mind that you can over do it. Try to keep your registration form uncluttered by only adding links that will help during the actual registration process. The rest of the links should go in the confirmation email or on the event website where they can be accessed after the registration has been submitted.

To get you started with some ideas, here is a list of fourteen links that you may want to consider using on websites, online forms and in confirmation emails.

Maps Not everyone will know how to get to the venue, Google maps are easy and very convenient to use.

Transportation If you anticipate that event participants will be using public transit, provide a link with transit options, schedules, fares, etc. Also considering providing links to taxis, limousine companies, etc.

Airport If you expect people form out of town a link to the airport can be handy.

Accommodations Maybe you have arranged a special rate for event participants at a local hotel or just know of one that is convenient to the event location.

Sponsors Give your sponsors some additional exposure and have links on your website and in your confirmation email.

Venue Provide a link to the venue's website if it is a museum, gallery or other place of interest. Venue websites often have directions on how to get there, where to park etc.

Schedule of events If there is too much information to include as text in a confirmation email, post a schedule of events on your website and provide a link in the confirmation email so people can easily check back and make their plans.

Session details This is a good one to have on your registration form. List the times, date, speakers and other details on your website with a link from the registration form. This way you can provide a lot of detail without adding clutter to the form.

Restaurants At some events people will need to get their own lunch, dinner, etc. Suggesting a couple of local restaurants in the area can be helpful.

Local Attractions If you have out of town event participants provide a few links to local attractions so they have something to do after the event.

Related Events If you or another organization that you work with have other events coming up try to cross promote each other.

Speakers If there are speakers at your events provide links to their websites so event participants can get some background information.

Newsletter If you or the organization hosting the event have a newsletter now is a good time to get people interested in it. You should a

Ideal or Real Food Cost in the Restaurant Business
Most culinary schools today are still teaching their students how to compute the wrong food cost. Granted the math is right, but the dollars involved are hurting the bottom line of our restaurants. The problem arises from the separation of percentage points and dollars.Banks Use Dollars, not Percentage Points One thing I am quite sure of is that banks do not accept percentage points as deposits, believe me I’ve tried! For some reason the teller just looked at me du
