Direct Sales Leaders Seek Out Connie Podesta for New Economy Success Strategies

Award winning author and keynote speaker Connie Podesta teaches direct sales teams how to self-motivate, get ahead of the competition and STAND OUT, regardless of market conditions.

Dallas, TX, July 28, 2011 (Straight Line PR) -- Market conditions are changing at the blink of an eye (or click of a mouse). And direct sales leaders are turning to industry change expert Connie Podesta to teach productivity and profitability solutions - and how to "kick your own butt."

"Changing and challenging economies will always make room for the tenacious entrepreneur," says author, keynote speaker and change expert Connie Podesta. "The key for most direct sales companies is to give their teams the skills and solutions they need to SELF MOTIVATE, OVERCOME adversity and CONNECT with people."

Connie Podesta ( http://www.ConniePodesta.com/speakingtraining ) isn't your typical speaker. From the minute she gets on the stage, audiences realize she's a straight-talking, kick-your-butt-with-love kind of motivator. While laughing and learning, attendees often experience the kind of eye-opening, career-changing awareness that moves them to ACT - rather than REACT to the world around them. They see the roadblocks they've put in their own way more clearly. And more importantly, they learn what it takes to turn those obstacles into very real opportunities.

"Your captivating, 'tell it like it is' style, delivered with your comedic flair, forced us to examine why we behave and react as we do. I was overwhelmed with messages and comments from employees praising you and the important message you delivered to us. I truly believe that lives were changed in a positive way because of your presentation," says Stan Ivie, Deputy Director of the FDIC.

To succeed in sales today, it's essential to:

* Commit to change old thought patterns and habits and adopt a powerful action plan

* Consider whether or not daily choices are bringing you closer to your goals

* Leverage strengths and bolster them with new skills and strategies

* Evaluate personal performance and leadership skills and continuously raise the bar

Connie Podesta's Stand Out Strategies ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyjZgk3x73c ) are empowering direct sales professionals to break out of traditional mindsets and in turn, break the boundaries of what they can accomplish. Achieving more in terms of sales productivity, business longevity and inspiring a legion of downline followers becomes possible with the right strategies, shift in thinking and of course, powerful people skills. Connie shares all with laugh-out-loud humor, edge-of-your-seat insights and a healthy dose of "get real" attitude adjustment.

"Health, wealth, success & happiness are not rights, but hard-earned PRIVILEGES. Entitlement is out - high performance is in," shares Connie. "If you want to out-think and out-perform the competition, creating the long-term, sustainable success that brings you the security you want with the balance you need, you're going to have to do some things differently. That's what I teach, and what's leading salespeople across North America to make the kind of changes that allow them to finally realize the potential they always knew they had."

10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd ( http://amzn.to/10WaysStandOutBest Business Book of 2011 which delivers many of her fresh, innovative, foundation builders for salespeople seeking the keys for better relationships, better productivity and life balance. ) is Connie Podesta's award-winning

About Connie Podesta:

Connie Podesta ( http://www.ConniePodesta.com/booking/ ) is a sought-after professional keynote speaker, author and executive career and life coach. Her no-nonsense style coupled with laugh-out-loud humor makes her a favorite for leaders, associations, organizations and companies big and small. From sales and leadership to relationships and change. Connie's experience and talent as an author, therapist, comedienne and speaker ensures high energy and high results.

Making Leadership Training Effective

The cornerstone of every effective leadership development effort must be realistic and effective leadership training.

Atlanta, GA, July 29, 2011 - The cornerstone of every effective leadership development effort must be realistic and effective leadership training. No large organization can survive or succeed in today’s world without effective leadership training programs.

Simply hoping that leaders develop within your team or that you can hire really good candidates for leadership is not enough. To succeed you must learn how to develop leaders in house. Developing your own cadre of leaders will always be cheaper and more effective than hiring outsiders.

Some Indications of Effective Leadership Training Programs

1.Employee engagement: people want to participate in the program because they feel they will actually learn something from it.

2.Faith in the program: management feels confident when promoting graduates of the program.

3.Increased morale: people feel good after completing the program and when participating in it.

4.Involved: the leadership training program is in line with the company’s goals. For example it is training people in the skills needed for expansion.

5.Long term: employees participating in the program feel that they will be involved in it for years. They develop a long term commitment to the company by participating in the program.

6.Strategic: the program imparts the organization’s strategy to the employees so they understand it and know how to implement it.

If your leadership training program does not fit these descriptions it is probably a waste of time and money. A good place to begin a leadership development program is with a list of Smart Goals. Sit down create goals for the company then start thinking about the kind of leaders you will need to achieve them.

Once you’ve done that ask yourself: how can I transform the leaders I have today into the people who will achieve those goals? When you have answered that question you will know how to set up an effective leadership training program.

As for sharing the opportunity with others wanting a credible professional business opportunity today, There is no comparison to Numis!," said Terry Sauerbier, soon to be a leading figure in the Numis Network.

Numis Network’s executive representatives are rewarded as much for the success of their sales and marketing teams as they are on their own, meaning that each representative’s performance is inexorably linked to his or her dedication to mentoring new associates.

Numis Network’s compensation plan allows for high income potential through a combination of commissions, bonuses, and a binary system of compensation through the total marketing efforts of the entire team combined in an executive representative network. For example, representatives can earn as much as $50,000 directly through completed sales of their downline marketing team alone.

And the Numis Network’s compensation plan also offers Luxury Incentive Award Trips for distinguished leaders. The last contest featured a 7-day cruise to the Caribbean.

"Not often do you come across a company that really emphasizes the success of the entire team. I am proud to become a member and team leader of this remarkable business opportunity, and the quality of leadership of individuals, like Ray Higdon, David Wood, Chris Paraldi, and Burke Hedges, "Who Stole The American Dream II" author, just to name a few has been beyond speech." Says Terry Sauerbier.

"I have full confidence that once someone investigates this business opportunity, there will be no looking back! Who wouldn’t want a career in "promoting money, selling money, to make money!" That’s why financial planners from all over the USA and Canada are taking notice of the Numis Network and referring their clients to us to purchase and invest in numismatic coins as part of their financial portfolio’s"

Camera Solutions Make Summer Driving Safer

The summer travel season brings both opportunity and danger to communities across America.

Atlanta, GA, July 26, 2011. The summer travel season brings both opportunity and danger to communities across America. It brings opportunity in the form of millions of travelers driving to vacation destination and danger in the form of more speeders on the road. This includes out of town travelers that do not know the community or its laws.

To make matters worse, pedestrian traffic is much greater in the summer. School is out, so the streets are filled with children on bicycles and skateboards. Summer festivals, shopping, garage sales, parades, farmer’s markets and other activities increase the number of people on the streets.

The number of pedestrians as the number drivers increases providing for a dangerous mix. Not surprisingly police departments are hard pressed to maintain traffic safety in such a situation. Many forces lack both the manpower and the resources to control the additional traffic.

Traffic Cameras are the Answer

There is a solution available to communities in the form of portable camera systems. Traffic cameras can control speeds, increase safety and generate additional revenue for communities. Portable camera systems like those from Optotraffic enable police to catch every speeder or red light violator.

More importantly they enable police to concentrate their resources on other more important tasks such as patrolling neighborhoods and fighting crime. Officers can be out in the community interacting with citizens rather than sitting in a car behind a radar gun.

Traffic cameras can be strategically placed to protect communities in the summer. A camera can be placed at the playground or swimming pool to protect children. Cameras can also be positioned in neighborhoods to catch out of town speeders trying to evade traffic laws by driving the side streets.

Traffic cameras are particularly effective at traffic lights which are often run by visiting drivers. Many drivers now routinely ignore traffic signals which presents a danger to other drivers and pedestrians. A traffic camera can catch such reckless individuals in the act.

Summer does not need to be a nightmare for a community. Instead, communities can enjoy the extra revenue that tourists bring in without seeing their streets turned into a danger zone by out of town speeders.

London, UK, JULY 25, 2011 - The Fairway Charity Golf Open has today proudly announced that the golf tournament which took place at the famous K Club Golf Resort on Tuesday 24th May 2011, the registration day of the iGaming Super Show, raised EUR1,400.00 for the Dublin based children’s charity - the Children First Foundation.

The sun came out for the eleven teams of four who teed off starting at 11am on the Palmer Ryder Cup Course and thanks to the kindness and generosity of individual golfers, donations went to charity.

New Word City LLC Announces the Publication of The Pull of Customers, The Push of Processes

New Word City LLC announces the publication of The Pull of Customers, The Push of Processes, a new eBook by New York Times bestselling author Jim Champy.

Boston, MA, July 26, 2011 - New Word City LLC announces the publication of The Pull of Customers, The Push of Processes, a new eBook by New York Times bestselling author Jim Champy.

From the time the first business opened its doors centuries ago, Champy writes, people have been trying to define the essence of a company. Some have claimed that a business is its bottom line. Others have argued that a company is its customers, or its marketing power, or its products, or its people. Today, what best defines a business, Champy believes, is its processes - all the things a company does to create and sell its goods and services. Here’s how to make the most of yours.

About the Author:

Jim Champy is recognized as the world’s leading authority on the fundamental redesign of business processes, organization, and culture. His bestseller Reengineering the Corporation - A Manifesto for Business Revolution sold more than 3 million copies, and his subsequent books on leadership, change management, and increased growth through counterintuitive thinking have reached wide audiences around the world.
