Hey all, I’ve recovered for the most part from my recent East coast mini tour. It was really great seeing old friends and making new ones.

Here it is Thanksgiving in the USA. After spending the day relaxing, taking our 90 something year old lady friend (you saw her on the Fostoria tornado video) to a restaurant for a turkey dinner, coming home and putting up some outdoor Christmas lights and in between get a couple new “expert” web sites up (I’ll talk about some of the strategies I picked up in Philly soon) I’m now making this post and then will settle in for the night.

Sharon and I have a lot to be thankful for, especially this year. Lots of good, although often last minute “God” things have happened, among them having to move, with no particular place in mind, and then having everything just fall in place, within a matter of a few days. Both our health issues are still a concern, but moving forward and doing well.

Most of all, I’m thankful for you guys, our new friends and those that i needed to make a little fence mending with.

Please before you call it a night, give it a little thought, what do you have to be thankful for?

Chat soon and I’ll be posting some killer marketing stuff real soon.

In the past he has called many events correctly even admits, although yet to be released that his counterpart The Amazing Kreskin, sealed his prediction a year ago.

“I had no trouble in the last election naming Bush as the winner, however this time round it has been very clouded for me.” Allen stated today. “All logic tells me Obama will defeat McCain, however logic has little to do with mental abilities such as predictions. My intuition keeps nagging at me to declare McCain the winner.

One thing that does seem to be very clear to me is that the real winner will not be determined by Tuesday night, rather that winner will not be declared official until well into December.” Stated Allen.

“I’m very baffled at my lack of clarity on this prediction, this time round. “ claimed Rick Allen, who I guess will have to wait like the rest of us to see if what part of his prediction comes to pass.

“I offer either candidate to contact me before the next debate,”

Persuasion Expert Says “McCain and Obama; Do these 4 things in the Last Debate or Lose the Election!”  

Republican presidential candidate, John McCain and Democrat hopeful Barack Obama appear to be running a neck and neck horse race in many straw polls. The close margin still could make it anyones race.

Rick Allen, who is a professional persuasion expert that trains sales people, revealed today the four secrets Obama or McCain must do during the last debate or chance losing the election.

“Both McCain and Obama as well as the vice president hopefuls are sales people, it’s just that simple!” Allen explains. “When people buy from a sales professional they buy based on what they want, not necessarily what they my think they need at the time.”

Allen is making an open offer for either Obama or McCain to set down with him before the next debate for a free coaching session or chance losing the election.

What are some of the things Allen would advise the candidates to do during the next and last debate?

First off, they need to talk to the middle class American, the largest of the voting population. So far Palin has been the only candidate that can look in the camera and make a psychic connection with Mid-America. Both McCain and Obama need to work the camera. Palin’s experience as a former news anchor gives her the experience to come off as having a ball, yet is serious about the product she is selling. Both Obama and McCain seem to be a little camera shy, a couple late nights watching the star sales people doing infomercials would do wonders for both of them.

Second they both need to outline a clear, last attempt to close, with a convincing offer of what they can offer the American people that will arouse an emotional connection, what will make them want to buy their product.   McCain needs to offer a fatherly, “what is best for you” persona, Obama needs to have the “life’s an adventure, lets see what happens” persona. Neither successfully conveyed that in the last debate.

Third, Allen emphasized, both candidates need to concentrate on the benefits of the products they are selling, not the downsides of the completive product, in this case the other candidate.

Fourth, there are seven key persuasion words they need to use during the debate that will turn the tide; if they do not use these powerful words they will chance losing the election.

“I offer either candidate to contact me before the next debate,” Allen concluded. If Barack Obama or John McCain would like to take him up on his offer, he can be reached by phone 800 521-3653 or email RickAllen@ExtraSalesPersuasion.com

Here’s some frank talk… Let me be clear. The Yellow Pages are dyeing, dead, kaput!

People are now searching for local businesses through Google, Yahoo and other online a simpler and faster method and not litting thier figuers do the walking in the Yellow Pages. Maybe you have even seen a decrease in your YP response iof you have a listing.

Some cities are looking at the green aspect and even banning Yellow Page delivery environmental reasons (such as Albany, NY).

Why do YOU care?

Because by the millions, local restaurants, contractors, entertainers
& shops of all kinds are suddenly desperate to get a website done, and ranked.

“Easy Offline Riches”, the maverick product which “sold out” on the Warrior Forum, gives you the tools to STEP IN FRONT OF THAT TRAFFIC.

http://rickallen1.easyo.hop.clickbank.net
Easy Offline Riches gives you a kit, and website that makes this really easy to do. Everything you need to contact businesses, and have them COME TO YOU is included. In fact, if you buy the product, you can qualify to let Mark Lareau and his team do all the work for you after you make initial contact—> REALLY!

Here’s his forum post talks mainly about the way, once you get Easy Offline Riches, you can have Mark’s and his staff actually close the deal for you:

—
“This program kicks A!@! Sorry for the language, but “butt” didn’t seem to drive the point home. I cannot believe the effort that has gone into this program and the quality of information and tools Mark is providing here. I was really blown away by all of the resources given to help you succeed. And that is what this forum is
all about as well, so it really hit home with me.

Now I try not to interfere or talk too much about peoples offers. Yes, I will support members here, and am always willing to give testimonials, especially if they are good products, but I usually try to not go much further than that. It can cause people to think I am playing favorites. So usually I shut my mouth after
saying my peace.

But I felt compelled to once again open my big mouth and comment here.

I have been super busy as well with my own business, but am going to not push my own services for awhile (minus my existing clients) and focus on working Marks back-end affiliate program. I believe in it that much. I will probably use my portal to help promote the site as well.

I honestly think that this is a great system. Now I am not afraid to talk to business owners, but the great thing here is that by using Marks system, once I have it down, I can still work MY town the way I want with my existing system, but also target the rest of my state with Mark’s system! Talk about STATE domination!!

Anyway, I don’t get overly excited about “systems” very often, so when I do, I feel I should share…

~Keith

———–

Again, you probably saw the reference to Mark’s affiliate system. You actually can get Mark to do the lion’s share of work, and sell websites to businesses FOR YOU once you get this kit. You also make the “lion’s share” of any of those sales, but I’m getting ahead of myself.

See what this is all about now. Quite the find..

Wishing you much success,

- Rick

p.s.  You see how this is so different and refreshing? Finally giving you a concrete chance to succeed even if you are new to work-at-home and online business?

Just when you thought it was safe to go blogging… I’m back. Things have been so busy around here with moving, and work, I realized it has been since the first part of June since I posted anything here. Well just call it my (unplanned) summer vacation. But, I’m back and ready to gear up for some exciting times… more marketing tips, more recession proofing your business and more money in all of our pockets.

Here’s just a quick little video from our new office…

A couple weeks back I told you I was going to start giving some weekly marketing tips… well after our trip to OZ last weekend (see “That’s Going To Leave A Mark”) I decided I better get started.

In my business our clients and their guest’s are of the greatest concern for us, even at the price of losing financially if we have made a mistake in our agreement.

That simple sentence contains some mighty important words, lets say if again, only using different, yet the same, words…

When we get a gig, the customer and the audience concerns us, only if it’s not going to cost us in the end.

Ah, the turn of a phase, makes a great deal of difference, wouldn’t you agree? Now, I’ve never been to any of the Disney attractions however I read a lot about their customer, excuse me, guest services and the experience they provide. Before I started hearing detailed specifics about Disney however we had already adopted what I felt was more appropriate verbiage in reference to our business.

According to all reports Disney has us and everyone else beat in the the area of guest experience and they truly do everything possible to be the “Happiest Place On Earth!”

Here are just a few of the things we do, using verbiage to subconsciously perhaps, build great relations in our business.

Calling a customer a client, adds to the experience in regards to their importance. Let me ask this, would you rather be a customer or a client? What sounds more important?

Obviously a client sounds more professional, after all when you see a professional such as an attorney or health professional, you are refereed to as a client, walking into a store, most often you are merely a costumer. Where do you feel like your treated better, in a law firm or the check out at the grocery store?

Again, the audience or the guests of the client? Guest sounds much more important wouldn’t you agree? What makes you feel better, being an invited guest at a function or merely an audience member, just a face in the crowd?

And last, our agreement, sounds much more like friends then the cold term of a contract. Are we in agreement on this new car, or sign the contract agreeing to pay for it?

There are times when in a business situation you may want to use the term “contract”, it can be used as a positioning tool, however in most situations you want to be friendly, more at ease and comforatable… just agreeing on the facts.

Words are important, words can move people, words are full of emotion, they can scare people, or make them feel all fuzzy inside, words can make you laugh or make you cry, make you angry or motivated to do great things.

From a marketing standpoint, choose your words carefully, they will help to build solid relationships with your clients and their guest’s for years to come.

Have a great weekend and a profitable week. – Rick
