How to become a good sales person

March 24, 2008 – 2:47 am

Today’s customers are more fastidious than ever before. Not only are customers now more demanding, but they are also less forgiving as well, which means that a sales person has only one shot at making a good impression the first time around. In this fast paced high tech world where decisions are based on snap second judgments, the importance of a good sales person cannot be denied. The job of a sale person is now tougher than it has ever been. So the question now arises how does one become a good sales person? How does one become a better seller? The answer to these questions is actually quite simple. Be proactive.

Being proactive means that you as the seller, need to take the first step. You need to initiate the deal, you need to help the customer choose and you need to help the customer make a decision. However by being proactive, we do not mean being pushy. Being proactive means that you take the first step only, it does not mean enforcing your opinions on your customers, because no customer would ever like that. A good seller is one who understands the psyche of his clients and knows what to say when. Good sales is therefore all about ‘being judged by what you do and not by what you say.”

So then how do you become a good sales person? Well, read the following tips and find out: Read the rest of this entry »

DISABLE INDEXING SERVICES

Indexing Services is a small little program that uses large amounts of RAM and can often make a computer endlessly loud and noisy. This system process indexes and updates lists of all the files that are on your computer. It does this so that when you do a search for something on your computer, it will search faster by scanning the index lists. If you don’t search your computer often, or even if you do search often, this system service is completely unnecessary. To disable do the following:

1. Go to Start
2. Click Settings
3. Click Control Panel
4. Double-click Add/Remove Programs
5. Click the Add/Remove Window Components
6. Uncheck the Indexing services

Optical character recognition

January 4, 2008 – 3:57 am

Optical character recognition, usually abbreviated to OCR, is the mechanical or electronic translation of images of handwritten, typewritten or printed text (usually captured by a scanner) into machine-editable text.

OCR is a field of research in pattern recognition, artificial intelligence and machine vision. Though academic research in the field continues, the focus on OCR has shifted to implementation of proven techniques. Optical character recognition (using optical techniques such as mirrors and lenses) and digital character recognition (using scanners and computer algorithms) were originally considered separate fields. Because very few applications survive that use true optical techniques, the OCR term has now been broadened to include digital image processing as well.

Early systems required training (the provision of known samples of each character) to read a specific font. “Intelligent” systems with a high degree of recognition accuracy for most fonts are now common. Some systems are even capable of reproducing formatted output that closely approximates the original scanned page including images, columns and other non-textual components.

I heard that we can get paid through WesternUnion for our Google AdSense earnings. How? Just login to your adsense account, and there’s an option to change the payment method.

Afterall, what do I need, where should I go to get my money: searching the net and found this useful article.

Thanks to adesblog.

Malaysians (and maybe other countries too), another good news for you. Now you can get paid through WesternUnion for your Google AdSense earnings. What does that mean? That means, when Google releases the payments you can get your payments immediately, no need to wait for 10 days for your checks to arrive. And another 30 days for them to be cleared anymore.In Malaysia, WesternUnion services are available at most of the CIMB Bank branches and in some Pos Malaysia branches. Full article here..

September 21, 2007 – 3:02 am

Someone forward this to me, anyone know where this is from please let me know, so I can give some credit:

An English professor wrote the words:“A woman without her man is nothing”on the chalkboard and ask his students to punctuate it correctly.All of the males in the class wrote:

“A woman, without her man, is nothing”

All the females in the class wrote:

“A woman: without her, man is nothing”

Yea it’s really powerful.

Review: Sony VAIO TZ, Acer TravelMate 6292

September 20, 2007 – 3:20 pm
  • Sony VAIO TZ: Kevin at notebookreview.com published a new review for Sony VAIO TZ. Not so interesting but very informative:

    The Sony TZ is the latest offering from Sony in the ultra portable market. With its small size and extreme low weight, it is a must on any business traveler’s notebook list. The Sony TZ combines a new LED backlight display, solid state drive, over-sized battery, and ultra low voltage processors from Intel to make it an all around extended battery performer. Read on to find out how the paper specs stack up in real world use.

  • Acer TravelMate 6292: This laptop poses a serious mien, wrote Darius Chan from cnet asia.

    The Acer TravelMate 6291 and 6292 shift away from the Taiwan maker’s usual consumer offerings into the business world (though at the time of this review, the TravelMate 6291 had been discontinued). It does not compete in the same category as machines like the Lenovo ThinkPad X61s and HP Compaq 2510p. Nor does it pretend to. With a starting price of S$1,898 for the lower-end configuration, it does battle with larger business workhorses like the Lenovo 3000 N200 and Fujitsu LifeBook A6030 for the junior executive or student. Despite a few minor issues, the TravelMate 6292 offers one of the best values for a thin-and-light laptop in its price range. Read whole review here>>
