Mary Ellen Tribby and EarlyToRise.com’s Amazing Growth Spurt from 8 million to 27 million in one year
At the recent Strategic Profits seminar I attended in Florida I got introduced to Mary Ellen Tribby of EarlyToRise.com. EarlyToRise is owned by Agora Publishing, which in Tribby’s words is an “Idea Company” and they focus on direct marketing. I was totally blown away when they shared their metrics with me. They have a list of 300,000 people, and they make an average of $40 per person. Their year-to-year growth is stunning. Take a peek: * ‘04 - 3 million * ‘05 - 5 milliom * ‘06 - 8 million * ‘07 - 27 million * ‘08 - 36 million Notice the huge spurt from ‘06 to ‘07?

5.2 Is it factor accumulation or total factor productivity that drives growth in Africa?: Economic Report on Africa 2007
To investigate the link between growth and diversification, it was important to first quantify the contribution of TFP to economic growth. This section analyses the sources of growth for African countries using the standard growth accounting method, making it possible to disaggregate the shares of growth contributed by TFP, capital and labour.

Remove Distractions to Ignite Sales Growth – Part 1
The most common thief of sales growth is distraction. Based on my experience, I estimate that on average, employees lose 40% of their time to distractions. This number ranges between 30% and 60%, depending on the company they work for, and can reach as high as 70%, depending on the individual. Distractions can be classified into two types: 1) leadership and organization; and 2) individual-specific. The leadership and organization distractions can be categorized into poor sales support, customer service mishaps, products that do not meet client needs, bad sales management, and poor communications. “Individual-specific” distractions refer to daily mental or situational conditions faced by the salesperson. Part I deals with leadership and organization because these have a more dramatic impact on growth than most companies realize
