Dealer Incentive Programs
| |
| You hear about them on the television all the time, mostly with cars, but not always. Still, what is a dealer incentive program and how could one possibly benefit you? To be perfectly honest, and I can be because I'm not selling you anything (wink) the term dealer incentive program is a little more broad than getting cash or prizes for buying something.
In a very real sense a dealer incentive program can bolster sales, reduce sales costs, reward loyalty to your brand and help launch new products. From a pretty simplistic standpoint, let's look at all four of these.

Driving on Empty
| |
| It seems like with the economy in the tank, we’re keeping what used to be our 'status symbol' cars, much longer. One is for economic reasons and secondly, our values of what’s important as been edited.

Life Has A Windshield
| |
| You will spend much more time behind your car's steering wheel looking through the windshield than you will spend looking in the rear view mirror. That is not to say that you shouldn't take time to glance into the rear view mirror to check for danger so you can negotiate the road ahead safer and with more efficiency. Now compare that to your day-to-day life, do you have a tendency to look behind you and see only your failures and challenges; or are you like an experienced driver who checks it periodically for safety purposes but is totally focused on what lies ahead for you? |

How to Recover from Bankruptcy in Canada – Chapter 11
| |
| With the global economy in a sore spot, many people in Canada and beyond are finding it difficult to get out from crushing debts and even getting a mortgage after bankruptcy in Canada. More and more Canadians are finding that their only choice is to declare bankruptcy, which at the very least offers some relief.

Fortunately, there are a series of steps that one can take to recover from bankruptcy in Canada after filing for Chapter 11, though it does of course take some time and effort. |

Why Do You Want to Work From Home, Anyway? (be sure to stay balanced)
| |
| Ask any one person what they want from life. Most will give the same answer. Most people just want to spend time with the ones they love and enjoy their lives to the fullest degree possible. Having money is nice; having fancy homes and cars and other luxuries is nice; but I think you'll find that most people are more interested in having meaningful loving relationships with family and friends than they are in being rich. I don't think that anyone on their death-bed would ask to be surrounded by all of the "stuff" they've accumulated throughout their life. People wanna be surrounded by friends and family; the ones they love. |

Seven Steps for Creating Successful Marketing
| |
| 1. Find the inherent drama within your offering.
After all, you plan to make money by selling a product or a service or both. The reasons people will want to buy from you should give you a clue as to the inherent drama in your product or service. Something about your offering must be inherently interesting or you wouldn't be putting it up for sale. In Mother Nature breakfast cereal, it is the high concentration of vitamins and minerals. |

Stealth Market Research & Google Movies
| |
| I love stealth market research -- that is, unusual ways of figuring out what companies and competitors are doing. There are all sorts of ways of doing this sort of thing, from counting cars in company parking lots on outward. But there is no denying that technology continually creates new ways of ethically observing companies, and therefore new kinds of stealth research.

The Value of Change

| |
| In order to get what you want, you must first decide what you want. Most people really foul up at this crucial first step because they simply can’t see how it’s possible to get what they want — so they don’t even let themselves want it. |

Aspiring business owners, from all walks of life, have taken note and are increasingly choosing to own auto-related franchise concepts.

Turn Grouchy Spiral to Happiness and Joy
| |
| Have you ever noticed how negative energies feed off each other? If that is true, then it must be true too that positive energies can do the same. I am reminded of a friend who enjoys blowing kisses to random strangers in other cars while stopped at red lights. She does it just to see the surprise and smiles on the recipients' faces. It takes them out of their own head, to share a moment with a "neighbor." It makes me laugh just thinking of her doing it, and the reaction that must follow.... |

What Are Some Of The Reasons Why You Should Be Relying On A Travel Agent?
| |
| A Travel Agent has contacts with destination specialists and tour operators which helps them to plan a tour effectively. Traditionally, after getting in touch with the travel agents, generally customers had to ask for a quote. Even today almost all of the travel agents offer information about vacation packages, hotels as well as tickets. However, there are limits to the amount of information that is given out by them.
A travel agent has at his disposal cost of air-ticketing, rates of some of the hotels and vacation package deals of different range to cater to the tailored needs of individual customers. Customers can find valid information about availability of dates, accommodation facilities etc. Thus not much time is devoted for availing such basic information.

A Car Sales Story with a difference

| Is there such as thing as a ‘good’ car sales story?
My husband and I recently bought two new cars over the Christmas break. We initially went in to buy one car. It wasn’t a Christmas splurge if that’s what you’re thinking – nor was anything it like the recent press on luxury cars and their owners. We wanted to go smaller and greener for all sorts of reasons I am sure you can image and one of our cars was at the end of its lease. Having done our research, the ‘make’ of our last four cars wasn’t doing enough, in our opinion, to be ‘greener’ so we decided to look elsewhere and try something different instead. |

The Vehicle Of Your Soul

| I love the clients I work with. They are so committed to making a difference in the world. Many of them are like high performance racing cars. They speed around the track of life at breath-taking speeds. Unfortunately, many of them have refused to make a pit stop or take a break between races and their bodies, the vehicles of their soul, show sign of severe wear and tear, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Just like it's necessary to take our cars into the shop for servicing, it's important that we stop driving ourselves with our to-do lists long enough to reflect on old habits and attitudes that can rob us of our joy and can lead to serious breakdowns. |

Speed Limits Do Not Reflect Your Capacity

| When looking at cars, we all know that speed limits do not really reflect the capacity of how fast our cars can go. They are simply the law of how fast we are allowed to drive without running the risk of getting a ticket. Most of us drive cars with a capacity far beyond what the speed limit is.
The same is true in our lives and the same is true about us.
Most of us have a capacity far beyond the speed limit that we have imposed on ourselves.
Far beyond the speed limit we have put on our business and career.
What happens when we look at our capacity? Start to understand what we can really do. Look at all the talent, ability and gifts God gave us? .
