I would say one of my greatest qualities is patience. I will head down to the boat, throw in the line and sit there all day doing paperwork/ webwork. Waiting for my bobber to dip beneath the surface of the water. Then, give a it a good tug. WOW! What a whopper! Now, being in business for a while now. Advertising my business is no different. It`s fishing, though I like to think that i`m casting my line in waters full of fish. Also there seems to be lots of fishermen around. Many fisherman want the BIG fish. I like Perch, in Michigan you can catch as many as you want, and keep as many as you want. Alot of Perch ad up to a nice dinner. Back to patience, so many new businesses think business is going to happen overnight for them. They are newer owners maybe with business degrees thinking that their business is a no brainer business, its simply advertising. Then some time goes by, ( a week, month, quarter) and there watching their savings dwindle thinking "what am I doing wrong?" Back to fishing: Most times when I talk to them, those other Fishermen. They are looking for the BIG fish. Spending big money on the big fancy lures that are only designed for a certain type of big fish. I explain to those fishermen, I like the crawlers. Seems like all types of fish will eat them, small, medium, big, whatever. Once again, alot of small fish add up to a good meal.  What A Whopper! It`s nice to catch a big one now and again. Though my bait is tasty to all fish. |

My bait.....If I visit your building or home and it dirty. I will tell you outright your property really needs some work.
If the flooring is messed up and un-repairable, I will not beat around the bush and say. We can try to fix it up. You will get a straight answer. You really let your flooring go, our service will only make it look better but this tile or that piece of carpet is shot.
As far as websites, or online marketing. I will tell you that i`t wont work, or it will work. This is what I can do, this is what other people are doing. There is no reason for you to pay extra for this, because it is not necessary.
When I ask for the price that I want to be paid. I will tell you why and what is included. If you don`t like it. Someone else will like it. I didn`t ask to work for you. You called me.
When you purchase a service there is no secrets. You know what the results will be, before the work is even finished. I try to under promise and over deliver.
In all regards Honesty is my bait. Straight forward, not beating around the bush direct communication with what you can expect from any of my services.

It is the best policy. Along with just enough BS to make it sound more believable. That`s my style.  |

Good idea to throw in the B_ because people rarely believe the TRUTH but almost always believe the lies that are told.
Speaking of fish, here's an article I got today:
To be sure you are getting your Omega-3's--because it is so very confusing out there--thankfully we can ALL trust Shaklee supplements to give you what they say is on the label!
Got Omega-3? Not So Much from the food on our grocery store shelves
By KIM PAINTER, USA Today 11-12-2007
Getting plenty of heart-healthy omega-3 fats used to mean eating fish or taking supplements. But grocery aisles these days are packed with food labels boasting of omega-3 content. You can buy milk, eggs, yogurt, cereal, orange juice, butter substitutes, mayonnaise and other products that carry the claim.
Behind the boom: studies that show certain omega-3 fats can help prevent fatal heart attacks and offer other heart benefits; less conclusive research hints at brain and eye benefits and possible anti-cancer effects.
But don't cross fish off your shopping list yet, nutrition watchdogs say. That's because many of the new products contain little or none of the omega-3 fats backed by the most scientific evidence: DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid).
"The numbers are tiny, but the claims they are making are huge," says Katherine Tallmadge, a Washington, D.C., registered dietitian and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.
"It's all very confusing," says Bonnie Liebman, a nutritionist with the Center for Science in the Public Interest. She reviewed omega-3 food claims for a recent newsletter article (at cspinet.org) .
Her conclusion: Consumers are in real danger of being misled. Even a careful label reader won't learn, for instance, that a carton of Breyers Smart DHA Omega-3 yogurt has less DHA than a teasthingy of salmon.
And that bottle of Hellmann's mayo proclaiming the product is "naturally rich in Omega-3 ALA"? True enough, Liebman says: Most mayonnaise is made with soybean oil, which is a source of ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). But that kind of omega-3 fat, found most abundantly in flaxseed, has not been proven to convey the same health benefits as DHA plus EPA, she says.
**Linda's note: (Shaklee has the ABSOLUTE BEST DHA & EPA)
One study even suggested high intakes of ALA might increase the risk of prostate cancer. But that finding "doesn't make any sense to anyone at this point" and needs more rigorous study, says William Harris, a heart researcher at the University of South Dakota.
Harris, who has advised companies making omega-3 products, says he sees little downside to the grocery-store glut as long as consumers know what they are getting. "But if the label just says omega-3 and makes no mention of DHA and EPA, there's a good chance it's ALA. So it can be a little deceptive."
Tallmadge's advice: "Eat fish." Those concerned about mercury, including pregnant women, can choose low-mercury varieties such as salmon and sardines, she says. Walnuts, ground flaxseeds, tofu and other whole foods containing ALA also are great additions to any diet, she adds, even if the evidence for that fat is not as compelling. There's no need to buy "manufactured kibble" spiked with omega-3 fats, she says.
Vegetarians can take algae oil supplements to get DHA, she says. Others who just don't eat enough fish can take fish oil supplements. But read the labels carefully, she warns, looking for levels of DHA plus EPA.
Studies suggest an average of 500 milligrams a day is beneficial, Liebman says. You can get that much by following the American Heart Association' s advice to eat fish, particularly fatty fish, at least twice weekly. The association says patients with coronary heart disease should get 1,000 milligrams of DHA plus EPA daily.

Speaking of truth.
Truth always does not sell. I can tell someone that with yearly maintenance on the vinyl commercial floor it will look good, last forever, it wont crack, stain, or come up from the flooring.
Or i can say. Boy.... glad you got me here to look at this, a couple more months and it will start to breakdown and come up from the floor. That will really cost you some money. You do not have any sealant on your floor. Today is your lucky day. Good thing you made the call to Purity!
Or I can say: Wow your floor is going to look so good when were done. You made a wise choice and called us just in the nick of time. It seems the sealant has worn off your floor. It is smart for you to budget accordingly.
It seems each scenario is the same answer and result... but the person making the decision and what lingo to use is the key.
Over the course of my career it seems #2 scenario always works better. The fear factor, or extra cost that could be involved factor by not doing such maintenance.
Linda I think you should tell people "Your chances of living longer are increased with Shaklee"
"Spend some money now, and you might have the opportunity to live longer and make more money in the future, plus you will feel better during the process"
