The Mastermind Behind an Empire, Steve Jobs

October 6, 2011

With the sudden loss of the greatest brains in the world of technology and the mastermind behind the success of "Apple Computers". Built an empire from his parents garage, borrowed the "Apple Label" from the Beatles' record label, in exchange he would not market music on the internet.

Create the first personal computer Apple II, added color to his products, free marketing genies when it came to promoting Apple Computers. He developed Pixar, creator of "Toy Story" and sold it to Walt Disney when he was fired by his company Apple Computers.

He focus and ability to understand what his audience wanted and desire, he would develop the products that sold them self to the public. Iphones, Ipads just to name a couple of them, his vision was extraordinary to see the product even before it was developed.  Creates an entire market that he had all of his own, and took months, years for his competition to catch up even understand what he was doing.

He lost his life to cancer at the age of 56; the world will actually miss Steve Jobs Vision and creative abilities. I will leave you with his favorite quote that he would say each and every day.


"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful that's what is important to me."

How do you define the word "LUCK"

October 6, 2011

This word is a word that is overused in many fields of life, we have all used it in one way or another. We all wish we had a little more luck in our daily lives. Some of the terms how this word is used.

He has so much luck in life.

Only if l had some luck l too could be like him.

Why can't l have in luck in my life?

We could go on and on and never really understand what it means or how it is defined. Luck to me is defined this way, and l will explain why.

Labour

Under

Correct

Knowledge

Good Luck to all who read this and you apply the above to make yourself luckier in life; only you are in control of your life.

SPELLS THE WORD L U C K

So when you bring this all own together and apply the meaning of each letter you get the correct definition of the word "LUCK".

So when you use the labor involved and obtain the correct knowledge; then you will see your LUCK increase all of a sudden. There is no such thing as luck you can control and create your luck at work, in business by having the correct knowledge to obtain the success that you deserve....................Except if your buying lottery tickets, then it's a whole new word to me also.............If someone founds the definition of that sort of LUCK, please share it with all of us.

I hope you can all apply a little luck to your day and your life just remember the definition of luck and use it to your advantage, and your luck will change cause you're in control of it.

All the Best,

The Story of The Boy Who Wanted to Buy a Puppy.

October 5, 2011

I came across this short story of the kid who wanted to buy a puppy, but he wanted a special puppy. I found this to be a fascinating and unbelievable lesson to be learned, from this young man. I just had to share it, with all of us here.

One day an eight-year-old boy went to the pet store with his dad to buy a puppy. The store manager showed them to a pen where five little furry balls huddled together.

After a while, the boy notices one of the litter all by itself in an adjacent pen. The boy asked. "Why is that puppy all alone?"

The manager explained, "That puppy was born with a severe leg and would be crippled for life, so we're going to have to put him to sleep,"

"You're going to kill this little puppy?" the boy said sadly while patting it. "You have to realize that this puppy would never be able to run and play with a boy like you."

After a short conversation with his boy, the dad told the manager that they wanted to buy the puppy with the bad leg. "For the same amount of money, you could have one of the 'healthy' ones, Why do you want this one?"

To answer the manager's question, the boy bent over and pulled up the pants on his right leg, exposed the brace underneath and said, "Mister, l want this one because l understand what he's going through."

How many of us would have reacted like this young man, strange that things have to happen to us before we can accept people for who and what they are we do have a lot to learn from one another.

Food For Thought, If you think you can.

October 4, 2011

If you think of yourself as being fat, you will be fat. If you think of yourself as being friendless and of no use to anyone, you can also fulfill those prophecies. The point is that negative imagines are self-destructive and self-fulfilling.

There is no reason for anyone to have a poor self-image on a long term basis, in spite of any excuse that might be offered. The excuse that l heard the most often is that people have been told from early childhood by their parents that they should not strive for individual levels, as they cannot expect ever to be that competent or capable.

It starts at an early age in life, a foundation that can have an everlasting effect on a child and the sad part is we didn't even know that we had something to do with how that child turns out to be. We are all so busy in life that we need to focus and make time to teach our children positive ways and show them encouragement and let them know that you take an interest in all that they do. Whether it's a test result, a picture they just painted or whatever it might be, show real affection to them, and you will see a big difference in your child.

So the next time you see you child sitting all by him or herself, and you walk up to them and ask what the matter is, and they say nothing. Well, we all have heard that statement, you need to stop all your are doing and found the root of why he or she is feeling that way. In most case it only takes a few minutes of your valuable time, but it will be the best few minutes that you invested all day.

How many Managers, understand this concept, the 4-3-2-1 rule?

October 2, 2011

It will provide you with an actual value of what you are getting for your advertised dollar. Simple but very useful tool, to understand and apply it each and every day....If you where a Manager was working for me and you could not provide me these number daily, we would have a problem?

Who has used this rule in Their Dealership?

Part One. This formula allows you and your Sales Manager to see your progress with how you are handling customers. I will tell you how many customers you had for the day, week and the month. Part two it will allow you and your Sales Manager to know what percentage of the customer are taking a demo drive. Part three it allows your Sales Manager to know how many offers you are getting from your walk in traffic as a percentage. Part four it indicates your closing ratio from all of your efforts....When you understand this concept, you will know where you will need additional training. We are all aware you will always have 100 percent customers so the top number will always be 100 percent.

Part Two is the demo drive....when you take the number of clients and divide them by how many demo drives you had it will provide you with a percentage. I good number is 75 percent of customers should be going on a demo drive.....if you're getting let's say 44 percent you will need to work on how to get more demo drives why are your clients not taking more demo rides with you.

Part Three. Is the offer how many customers are you getting an offer from after you have taken them on a demo drive. It's imperative percentage. It is where most sales people get week or do not have the proper training to get a customer to present an offer; no offers no sales... if your only getting 30 percent of the customers to make an offer, then you will need to focus on what you are not doing....Once you learn this, it will increase, and you will have more sales.

Part Four. Is the actual close, when you make a purchase, you have done all the steps in order, and correctly, now you have earned a commission for your efforts. A good closing ratio, depending on how many customer you spoke to is in around the 17 percent.

Let's review the 4-3-2-1 Rule

4 - is the number of how many clients you spoke to today, so it is always a 100%

3 - is the number of how many clients you took on a demo drive, so it is 75%

2 - is the number of how many clients presented you with an offer, so it is 50%

1 - is the number of clients you close using the above steps, so it is 25%

You made a sale, means you made a commission.. so if you want to make two sales, just double the numbers.

Now that you have an understanding of how this works, please feel free to ask any additional questions on this subject. The most competitive formula you should be sharing with your sales staff, as a Sales Manager. Learn this and you keep your job forever, and more than likely get recruited by other dealers who see your value.

RevPages Have Many Abilities for Successful Promoting

June 29, 2011

When l created my first RevPages it was for one simple reason, see what it was all about and how useful it could benefit us all. I took my time reviewed all the features, learned them all, then decided to create a page we can study and learn from it. The point l am trying to make here is not to look at the product, but review the quality I laid out.

If you ask yourself what do I promote and what do I enjoy, then it will become natural, to produce what I did, passion, honesty and most of all just be yourself. The key here is to have everything work and lead all your readers to where you want to go like l do with all my links that clickable, point vital clickable.

Then what l did with that RevPages was added to all my other blogs, websites, and Twitter for fun see how it all played out. The results were good, but l was looking for was feedback on the page, not the Dodge Truck. Not many members got it. Instead, some decide to leave URL, others left comments towards the truck, others just dumb miss spelled words.

The key here is back links when you use it correctly with the RevPage, what l did with mine was provide you ideas on what you can create, stop looking at the truck play with the information, the links, etc., etc. get good at it then rewards come to you.

So go back have a look and learn from what you have at your finger tips, use it to it's fullest power, make it work and spread it.

The difference between dumb spamming and creative marketing.

APSense Administration Team Announcement

June 27, 2011
As I’m sure, you all noticed the changes with the upgrade. As APSense grows into a more professional site, other changes are also being made including putting in place an official APSense Administration/Support team. There will be Admins, Moderators, and Advisers. Please check the APSense Wiki to find out what each does.


Moderators

You can find a List of Moderators on the Wiki. Moderators are in charge of different add-ons and Niche Communities. You can find out who is responsible for each area on the Wiki.

Advisers

You can find the Adviser responsibilities in the Wiki also. We will be building a team of Advisers to help members. As counselors are added to the team, you will be able to find their information also.


Admins

A new addition to the team is admins. Admins will work directly with Wincer and will have admin powers for the site to remove spam and abuse, and scammer profiles. Please check the Wiki to see what the Admin responsibilities s are. It is the function of the Admins to keep APSense clean and to run smoothly to free Wincer’s time to work on updates and improvements to the site.

Admins will also verify and delete abusive spam posts. Posts will only be removed if the post falls into the accepted categories listed in the radio buttons.

The official APSense admins are:

Bill Brown( Bjantiques)-Bill has been a member of the APSense team since the beginning and has invested many hours in helping APSense members.

Cheryl Baumgartner (pplcheryl63)-Cheryl has been a member since 2007 and has been a member of the APSense team since the launch of APSense 2.0

Paula Van Dun-Paula has been a member since 2010 and has shown herself to be proactive in assisting members since she joined.

If you have questions about the upgrade, please contact one of the Admins. Once we get advisers in place, you will be able to communicate with them also. The goal is to build APSense into a professional, trustworthy network and that effort is being rewarded in our lower Alexa rankings.

Official Site Announcements

It is important as we move forward after the upgrade that members, know where to find official site information. Any member may post articles, but these are not in any way official or endorsed by Wincer.

The only official site announcements come from the site admins. Also authorized to make official statements are Joseph Botelho and, of course, Wincer Song as the owner.
