Connie Podesta Wins Gold Medal Award With 10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd

Top organizations seek real-world answers and strategic solutions to stay competitive in a constantly changing market. They're finding all of that and more in Connie Podesta's new book, 10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd. And the folks at Independent Publisher Book Awards agree.

Dallas, TX, May 18, 2011 (Straight Line PR) -- Connie Podesta and co-author Jean Gatz proudly announce the selection of their new book, 10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd as the 2011 Independent Publisher Book Awards Gold Medal Award winner in the Business Category.

"It's a thrill to be chosen from among the more than 2000 participants for this prestigious award," says author, keynote speaker and change expert Connie Podesta. "We wanted to create a book that was different from any other business book we've seen. Something that would compel people to make positive changes in their lives, careers and companies."

Connie Podesta ( http://ConniePodesta.com/speakingtraining ) has helped organizations globally implement the kind of innovative and effective strategies, tools and mindsets that allow their companies to grow. She teaches them to do that in such a way that their employees and partners become happy contributors and pro-active solution-seekers.

"Connie and Jean have hit a home run with a book that lives up to its name and stands out from the crowd. From the very first page, I knew I was about to experience a wealth of content wrapped in the kind of creativity you rarely see in a business book," says Diane Koziol Krueger, brand identity expert, CEO and Founder of Contagious, LLC.

10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd ( http://ConniePodesta.com/stand-out-from-the-crowd ) takes the most critical elements of success - change, leadership, relationships and attitudes. Then breaks them down into ten individual books rolled into one. Written in an easy-to-read, easy-to-reference style, there is no mistaking why the straight-forward communication and spotlighted (not-to-mention Tweet-ready!) "pearls" of wisdom are a success formula for leaders, executives and entrepreneurs. They're also powerful for anyone who wishes to STAND OUT from the crowd. It provides people with the skills to live more fully and create more of that all-too-elusive balance between personal, professional and family life.

"I often say 'Business as usual is OVER', because our world is changing and evolving so fast that those who want to compete, perform better, produce more and sustain far better relationships in their lives have got to start doing some things differently," shares Connie. "Waiting for 'someday' or 'one of these days' is simply not an option anymore. That's why we wrote a book that really helps people turn on those light bulbs in their minds. They begin to not just SEE that change is possible, but BELIEVE it and then ACT in the ways it takes to make those changes a reality."

For anyone who's ever asked themselves...

* Do I have the skills, talent, attitude, knowledge and commitment ENOUGH to make it in today's competitive world?

* Am I making the right CHOICES for myself, my career and my family?

* Am I COMMUNICATING well or just making noise?

* Am I doing what it takes to DIFFERENTIATE myself in a such a positive way that my employers, co-workers, partners, family and friends CHOOSE to have me in their lives?

* How can I handle the DIFFICULT people in my life that make work and home so challenging?

* What can I do DIFFERENTLY that will help me attract the success, people and wealth I want?

10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd ( http://amzn.to/10WaysStandOut ) delivers fresh ideas, laugh-out-loud 'light bulb' moments, and real-life strategies that will not only have readers STANDING OUT in a positive way, but enjoying more of the moments along the way.

The AuraPortal Wide Interaction Platform (WIP) Provides an Effective and Easy-to-use tool to interact with Customers

WIP is a platform, exclusively from AuraPortal, which allows Communication and Collaboration between individual people and legal entities who are external to the organization and wish to integrate internal business processes with a public Web site on the Internet

Woburn (Boston), MA, May 09, 2011 - AuraPortal (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of Business Process Management (BPM) software, has announced today the release of the WIP (Wide Interaction Platform) platform to the market allowing integrated process communications with all external web users to the company. Not only with customers but also with suppliers, collaborators, public administration, job applicants, etc. This is an essential part for the CRM system that is built in AuraPortal through BPMS processes.

The WIP module of AuraPortal is aimed at the integration of internal business processes of the company with a public web site on the Internet. It is not enough to have a great showcase on the Internet. Wesites need to be integrated with the internal management processes of the company and its employees. Only then will a company's websiter be an effective, dynamic and attractive system to customers.

All needed features are available with WIP for this integration with no need of IT programming and are categorized into two phases:

Visitor Registration. WIP has all features for an anonymous web visitor to enter their information in a form and automatically become registered in the AuraPortal Platform. For example, mechanisms for verifying the authenticity of the email provided are fully automated and also that it is not being used for another registrant, the automatic creation of the visitors as a Contact in your Account table, and the sending of an email with registration data once it is captured, among others.

Use of the Platform. Once a web visitor is registered, the user will be able to enter in their private WIP site to see restricted information, to start processes, to view the status of the process they have begun, to receive and manage tasks, to see emails received from AuraPortal and change their registration data.

From WIP, external users can ask questions or notifications, queries, etc. that can be answered by email. Also they can start and execute Process Tasks. WIP itself automatically starts the processes designed for each issue, thus achieving excellence in the service along with the optimization of resources. And all this can be done through the Website, Email, Mobile, etc.

In addition to WIP, AuraPortal provides various Modules geared towards the customer (CRM - Customer Relationship Management), including:

MC (Marketing Campaigns). A powerful and complete system for launching and managing Marketing Campaigns, targeting both potential customers and existing customers.

SO (Sales Oportunities). A sales opportunities management system that covers the complete sales opportunity lifecycle from the moment it detects an opportunity to the final sale.

CC (Call Center). A system to control and manage customer calls, such as a customer service centers, or Hot-Line support center, etc.

CISNE (Commerce thru Internet & Social Networks Enhanced). An Electronic commerce capability including a 'shopping cart', a secure payment gateway and integration with Social Networks.
