    Quick Tip - Effective Meetings Have a Complete Agenda
    Most agendas for a meeting look like this.* Budget* Payroll* Staff* Sales* VutszxtnSome people would tell me, "That's a perfectly good agenda. I know what all of those things mean, except, uh, 'vutszxtn'." The point is, vutszxtn means as much to you as the other terms mean to the other participants. For example, does budget mean increase the budget? Plan a budget? Report on the budget? Reduce the budget? Complain about the budge
    I made a post in a forum the other day, posing a small conundrum about which Google Adwords ad should be kept and which should be discarded based on the CTR figures which each Ad managed to achieve.

    And it's interesting how different people measure the success, or otherwise, of their Google Adwords campaigns. I'm always advocating testing, but there has to be a few caveats when you run tests.

    The example which I gave in the forum was as follows, and was based on an actual campaign that I had managed for a client in the past.

    Imagine you have an Adwords group with two ads running with optimisation turned off, i.e. Google Adwords will just distribute the search traffic uniformally between your two ad creatives. After 160 you can see that Ad A has a CTR of 6.8% and Ad B has a CTR of 1.2%

    Now the question is, which ad do you run with? Which one do you axe?

    When the client saw the stats he immediately said we should remove Ad B because it wasn't performing well enough.

    Oh dear.

    Obviously he hadn't listened to a word I had said about how to manage a successful Adwords campaign. Ho hum.

    Sales Techniques to STOP Using If You Want to Sell More
    The differences between top sales professionals and the rest of the crowd isn't just about what they DO, it's about what they DON'T do as well! Over the course of more than 20 years developing the MasterStream Method, we've identified over two dozen traditional selling approaches that, upon closer examination, cause more damage than good. In this article, we'll begin exploring several mistakes sales professionals make, starting with:Why "Feel, Felt, Found" is a Foolish T

    An Action Plan for the Job Search
    To be successful to today’s competitive marketplace, you need to have an action plan in place to help maintain your job-search momentum, keep you organized and ensure you have everything ready when it comes time to meet the prospective employer face to face.If you have an action plan for reaching prospective employers, you are doing well. Many people never reach that level of effectiveness. It is so easy to simply send out resumes and hope someone calls rather than tak

    Stepping Stone Jobs
    What we name something matters.It sets a tone that alters our attitude.Give something a new name and the difference may seem insignificant or even trivial.However, if it changes our attitude, it can amount to a very big change.Recently, I heard the term “survival job.”I understood this to mean a job that is often part-time and unrelated to one’s primary career focus. One takes such a job because one’s previous position has been eliminated, out

    Dominating Clickbank
    Clickbank is the largest market place for digital products. Digital products are information products which can be created in audio form, text form or a combination of both; it could even be a video. Nowadays there are lots of products like this on clickbank which you can download to your Ipod, mp3 or digital equipment.Clickbank is quite similar to eBay, the main difference is that it doesn’t allow you to list digital products; it focuses solely on information products.

    What's the point in buying a ton of traffic if all it does is burn a hole in your wallet? You need sales to run a business, not clicks.

    "Oh yes. Well what's the ROI figures then?" he asks, as if he knew this was what he was meant to say all along.

    Well, Ad A had a conversion rate of 0.9%, whereas Ad B had a conversion rate of 9.4%

    "Delete Ad A immediately," was his suggestion.

    Is this what you would have done? I didn't.

    The fact that the conversions didn't actually have a significant monetary value wasn't the point, because anyone who runs their own list knows that it's not always about the initial sale that's important, but the value of a customer over a whole lifetime.

    Looking at it on the surface, and now that I've revealed that ROI is more important than CTR, you would expect to delete Ad A and run with the Ad B because of its high conversion rate.

    Well, look again, my student.

    You see, to read anything into the adverts that we test day in and day out, you always have to ensure that you make decisions that are based on statistical significance.
