Keys to Personal, Team, and Organizational Transformation
Daniel Boone once said, "I can't say I was ever lost, but I was bewildered once for three days." Many team and organization transformation and improvement efforts are lost or badly bewildered. Besides riding in smelly cabs, eating rubber chicken (or guessing the day's mystery meat), and racing through crowded airports to catch a flight, another benefit of my consulting work are the opportunities I've had to work with hundreds of leadership teams trying to improve themselves and their organizations. Some have been hugely successful. They've seen increases in response times, cycle times, customer service, quality, teamwork, morale, productivity, innovation, cost effectiveness, and the like in the dozens or even hundreds of percentages. Others have been somewhat successful in some areas of their improvement activities. And some ended up in the swamp.In the 1980s and 1990s programs like quality circles, excellence, total qu

Deliverability is today’s biggest issue for every email marketer. Email marketers face deliverability problems because of email overload. Many people who spend much time online and that have businesses very much related to computers and Internet often get more than 100 emails per day. Usually, 8 out of 10 emails are considered as SPAM. Problem is that your email message, supposedly that you are legitimate marketer and have permission for contacting, can be flagged as SPAM. This can make harm to your business and reputation.

Here you can find some interesting facts about deliverability and SPAM:

Using some Hosted ASP email marketing software you will loose money because of the fact that you will pay for every message sent and not for every message delivered. Beside that, you will loose money in lost sales. Using desktop email marketing software like GroupMail you will pay one-time-fee for software licence and not for number of messages delivered.

You can have deliverability issues because of anti-spam lists, because of ISP filters and because of corporate/user filters. So there are three hurdles you have to jump over to get your messages delivered. So, how can you improve your deliverability rates?

Subscriptions

The first necessary step in getting your email message delivered is that you have permission of your members to send them your messages. Never, and we mean never, put people on your list without their permission. We recommend you double opt-in method for getting new subscribers so that they have to confirm their request to be your subscribers. It is recommended to ask them to enter their work email instead of free email addresses. Some companies go that far that they don’t allow subscribing if you use free email address. It is because of the fact that work email address is considered as more reliable and stable than a free email address.

Is Your Belief System Lying To You?
It all began when I starting asking the audience how many of them would earn $5 million dollars this year. No one would raise their hand. So I went on a quest to find other questions I could ask them that would create the same negative response. The more things I could have them not believe they could do, the more things I could prove they can do and create an instant transformation.My company, Freedom Builders, does live seminars to train entrepreneurs, small business owners and people in direct sales to be more successful. The problem was, how could they possibly become more successful if they didn’t believe they could? So my challenge was to prove their belief system was lying to them. This proved to be a very interesting experiment which led to very surprising results.I found that using a specific set of questions I could predictably get 100% of the audience to agree they could not do any of the tasks.

Networking Quandry
A quandary facing business people is how to figure out what to do next, after meeting a new person. What is the right time to get back to them? What if they won’t take a phone call?Tiffany has re-entered the business world after taking ten years off to raise her children. Additionally, she took the big step of accepting a sales position with a telecommunications company. She attends many networking events where she meets people she needs to know, but doesn't know how to turn those first meetings into many more.Tiffany will triumph if she takes a step back before moving ahead. Her method of networking is missing the important factor of planning. Having moved in reverse, she can stop to ask herself, "What am I trying to accomplish?"

An Outsourcer's Passage to India: How to Do It, part II
Part I of this article listed all the things that you, an outsourcer, must do in preparation for a trip to India. It saw you up to the airport on your day of departure.Now you’re on the plane and you’ve had dinner; your eyes close as you drift into sleep, to dream of maharajas, elephants and computer geeks…After sailing the skies for an interminably long time, you finally arrive in the Indian subcontinent. Hot, humid air surrounds you as you disembark from the aircraft; flocks of parrots and other exotic birds streak by overhead.Immigration takes anything between 10 and 90 minutes depending on the inflow of passengers... it pays to move fast and get a good position in the line.Customs is usually a breeze, since the officers are only after the big offenders (and hopefully you’re not one of them!). They usually wave foreign citizens right by since they know these visitors are potential customers.<

5 Reasons Not to Use PowerPoint
If you want people to take you and your ideas seriously, avoid using PowerPoint when you speak. Here are 5 reasons why.1. PowerPoint is boring. When's the last time you thought, "Boy, I sure hope the presenter uses PowerPoint"? Years ago people were wowed by PowerPoint. It was new. It was different. Now it's commonplace. And, as a visual medium, it's clunky and static. It can't compete with TV, MTV, or movies. When you bring up PowerPoint and turn down the lights, people get the message: it's nap time.2. PowerPoint is confusing. OK, it isn't by itself confusing. But the way most people use it is confusing. Most presenters simply begin creating slides, before they even know what they want to communicate or why the audience would possibly care about it. And the end result is way too much information and way too little clarity.3. PowerPoint is disempowering. In mo

In this welcome message it is very important not to forget two most important things. To tell them to put your From address in their Whitelist filtering rules to ensure that your message will arrive in to their inbox and not in their Bulk folder. And second very important thing, you should ask them to save your welcome message for future reference. Many people forget that they subscribed to certain email newsletter. Because of that they can accuse you for spamming and report you to your ISP or email marketing company.

Regulations, relations and reputations

You have to constantly have good relationship with major ISP in order to ensure good deliverability. ISP relation often can be a complex job so many email marketing software companies have special people assigned for this type of job. They have to actively watch news about ISP politics and to fulfil their request.

For example, some ISP won’t deliver your message if your messages don’t have a so called DomainKeys or Sender Policy Framework (SPF) key to ensure that the message really came from your domain name and to protect email sender identity. This prevents email spoofing. Some other companies won’t deliver your messages if you are not compliant with Habeas Sender Warranty Email Header. The Habeas headers allow you to guarantee that the emails you are sending are not spam and bypass filter systems.

Speaking about DomainKeys, for example if you send your message from one Yahoo email address to another Yahoo email address the recipient will see this info below From name:

“Yahoo! DomainKeys has confirmed that this message was sent by yahoo.com.”

You can have your own DomainKeys so that your recipients get similar message like above only with your domain name in it. Not only that it is recommended to have your own DomainKeys it is also very professional to see that your company is have one. It shows that email communication is very important for you.
