Francisco Javia asked:
Do you remember those old style medical ID bracelets that they used to push onto kids when you were in grammar school and high school? They were made out of stainless steel and were just one step up from a military dog tag in overall style.
Dangerous Medical Conditions
Pity the poor kids that used to have to wear one because even as adults many of them are still traumatized to this very day. They had no choice though, because they had a medical condition such as drug allergies, diabetes or epilepsy that could render them unconscious.
Early “No Style” Medical ID Jewelry
It’s because of the complete lack of style that those early medical ID bracelets had that many people to this day have an aversion to them. People who wear jewelery but will not go near anything that resembles a medical ID bracelet.
Gambling With Their Lives
Its a darn shame too, because they are gambling with their lives should anything ever happen to them. For them, even a simple traffic accident can become fatal due to the lack of information on the side of the medical personnel that tend to them.
First Rate Medical ID Bling
The real irony, is that today here is a super wide selection of great looking medical ID jewelery that looks and feels just like the designer jewelry that it is. In fact, todays trendy medical ID jewelry is even available in solid gold set with precious stones, if that is what you would like.
Engraved on the Bottom
No one in their wildest dreams would ever suspect that this new type of medical ID jewelry was anything other then the great looking jewelry that it is, because all of your medical information is engraved on the bottom completely out of sight.

“You must continually find new ideas, strategies and techniques to increase your sales and profits. If you are not moving forward you are falling behind. There is no such thing as staying even in the selling business.”

GM’s employee-discount offer on new autos pays off
General Motors has hit upon a possible escape from the big sales incentive that have ruined its bottom line without boosting it market share.
The strategy is akin to one-price selling, minimizing distasteful negotiation. GM doesn’t call it one-price, but that is at the core of GM’s current promotion- selling anybody a vehicle for the price an employee would pay.
Preliminary June data from analysts show that the program, which grew out of employee suggestions, is wildly successful. It appears to have boosted GM
sales 20% to 30%.
How would you like to increase your sales 20% to 30%?
EMPLOYEE SUGGESTIONS WILL MAKE YOU MONEY
All you have to do is:
1. Ask your staff for ideas.
2. Reward them for giving you ideas.
Get the ball rolling on profit increasing ideas at your sales meetings. Start every meeting with thank you’s, congratulations and rewards for ideas generated at the previous meeting and during the course of each day.
Start with Thank you’s. Then reward those who gave you ideas you used and ideas you did not use.
Why reward them for ideas not used? You do not want your staff to become discouraged. And, sometimes the ideas you do not think are worth trying today will be ideas you cherish in the future.
When turning down an idea, explain to them in detail why you did not use the idea. Give them the opportunity to defend and further explain how they feel the idea will help you increase sales and profits and grow your business. You will start a brainstorming session and many profit making ideas will be discovered.
Your rewards do not have to be of great value. We give bigger rewards for bigger and better ideas.
Suggested rewards
1. Cash
2. Tickets to events
3. Dinners
4. Merchandise
5. Paid day off
Some of the great money making ideas my employees came up with for my businesses:
Video rental store:
Not charging the customers for rewinding videos.
My video store staff listened to the customers complaining about being charged 10 cents for not rewinding the rented videos. They figured out how much money we netted in a month from the charges and presented it to me with the prediction that we could take customers away from the competition by not charging the fee. We took many customers away from our competition for only the cost of a dime.
Tire store:
Asking every customer to purchase a valve stem with every tire purchased that we mounted on their vehicle. We charged $1 for the valve stem, they cost us 15 cents. We sold an average of 500 tires a week. You do the math!
Electronics and Appliance stores:
7 days a week service. One of my sales professionals realized televisions, stereos, VCR’s and camcorders broke down when they were being used. Most people use these items in the evenings and weekends when we and our competition were closed. By simply having someone available to give the customer, with the broken equipment, a loaner item we increased our sales 15%.
Jewelry store:
Put a small jewelery case display in every store. When we opened our jewelry store we certainly were not known as jewelers. We were not, we were retailers. To take advantage of all the store traffic we had in our tire, electronics, appliance, and furniture stores we put a small display of jewelry in each store with signage announcing our jewelry store. An employee idea that propelled us to the top jewelry seller in our market.
Furniture store:
Changing the layout of the store. One day a sales professional in my furniture store said, “I have an idea. Since our largest profits. And his largest commissions come from the sale of bedding, why don’t we put the bedding at the front of the store, instead of the back where we and all our competition currently put it.?” He got a very nice reward, for that idea doubled his commissions.
If you’re not increasing sales you are falling behind.
There is no such thing as staying even. From the book “You’re Not Lost Until You Are Out Of Gas”
Ask and Reward your staff for ideas that will increase your sales and profits.

Lehengas: The Ultimate Wedding Dress For Indian Brides

The wedding day is very auspicious in all sense and for the bride it is the most memorable occasion. Thus, the wedding dress must look out of the ordinary in all ways. Now, wedding dress in India various according to the region and the bride must select the one that suits her culture. As such whether it is a traditional bridal saree, or a designer wedding lehnga or a bridal lehnga choli that she picks, it has to be the best and made only for her.
Indian weddings are full of customs and rituals. Once a wedding is fixed, it continues for at least three to four days at a stretch. There is the engagement, sangeet, haldi, wedding and reception. Therefore, the bride requires her wedding collection to be a vast one. Even if ‘lehengas’ are truly the ultimate wedding dress for Indian brides she might choose it to wear it on her engagement as well. So, if she chooses a modern mermaid cut embroidered satin lehnga choli for her ring ceremony, she could easily opt for a more heavily embroidered with golden and zari work bridal lehnga choli for her D-day. For the more casual rituals like the Haldi or the sangeet, the bride can look pretty in an embroidered saree or a designer salwar kameez.
The colors of the lehengas she chooses for different occasions are different too. While all the colors definitely have to be very vibrant the combination must suit her temperament on her engagement day. The typical bridal lehnga choli is generally in red or maroon. While the modern bride is open to experiment with more colors, designer lehengas today come in all color combinations such as pink, green, orange, golden and even silvery white for Indian weddings.
As far as styles among Indian wedding lehengas are concerned, Indian brides are open to a number of choices. They don’t have to stick to the traditional design of a long full sleeve or three quartered top with a too rounded lehenga or ghagra. Lehengas as a part of the modern bride’s wedding trousseau has emerged to be more stylish and fashionable. Making the contemporary Indian bride appear traditional yet as a woman of substance, makers of wedding lehngas has started thinking out of the box. With the zeal to woo the brides of today as well as the other women in her family, they have come up with innovative ideas for Indian wedding lehngas apart from traditional bridal sarees, embroidered sarees, designer salwar kameez and lehenga cholis. So, the bride as well as her friends and sister can choose from a variety of colors, material, styles and embroidery work. For those who are accompanying the bride can select something fancier like georgette lehenga, satin or net lehenga in fish cut, mermaid style or short length or a crepe lehenga teemed with a fancy neemzari choli. The bride on the other hand has to choose something fabulous. She can go for example a maroon short top heavily embroidered with thread work with a green or beige maroon combination lehenga with full zardosi and kundan work. Opting for something more gaudy like a brocade lehenga or a designer lehenga choli also be a good choice. Accessorizing it well with jewelries, the little father’s daughter will be all set to meet the groom’s eye.
Since time plays a major role in weddings, especially for the new age bride where she has to juggle her work with the biggest event of her life, the best option rather than visiting thousands of shops is to shop for online sarees, designer lehengas even her wedding lehnga. Opening up new ways to shop at your convenience, many online shopping sites have emerged which not only offers great discounts but also guides you to choose from a huge collection of designer lehengas, chaniya cholis, embroidered sarees and Indian wedding lehengas name some, but also provides opportunities to buy jewelry online.

Delivered at the doorstep, the opportunity to make her wedding dress something out of the world now lies at her fingertip.

Titanium Ring – Strong Enough to Last

So you’re looking for a wedding ring? Traditionally, diamonds have been associated with love because of their immense durability, their ability to last for eternity – but what about metals? Gold has been associated with love because of its purity and brightness, but it doesn’t have that durability which you’ll be hoping for in your marriage. Perhaps you should consider a titanium ring.
Over time, gold rings get worn away simply because gold is a soft metal. Silver rings suffer the same fate. Titanium rings, on the other hand, are built to last many lifetimes even if they’re worn every day. A titanium ring wont corrode like cheaper jewelery and it won’t suffer from wear and tear, no matter what you do while wearing it. A titanium ring is, quite simply, the toughest kind of ring on the market. When you give a titanium ring, you know you’re giving something which is going to last.
Perhaps a titanium ring doesn’t seem very romantic, but that depends on what you want from romance. A titanium ring says that your commitment is being made for the long term. It’s solid and dependable. Titanium rings are available in a wide range of styles, from strong masculine designs to slender jeweled bands, so choosing a titanium ring needn’t mean compromising on appearance. Titanium rings are very sophisticated and are becoming increasingly fashionable as people begin to realize their potential.
A wedding ring is the most important piece of jewelery you’ll ever buy in your life, so it’s all the more important that you get it right. With a titanium ring you know you’re getting something special. If you’re looking for a ring for a husband-to-be who generally feels uncomfortable about wearing jewelery, you may find that a chunky titanium ring is perfect for him. He’ll enjoy its solidity and strength and won’t feel that it’s inappropriately fancy. A well chosen titanium ring will say something about his character as well as making a strong statement about your love.
Titanium rings are very difficult to scuff or scratch, so when you choose a titanium ring for your wedding you can be sure that it’ll look just as good at your golden wedding anniversary. A titanium ring set with diamonds can bring together two of the world’s toughest materials to make a truly enduring statement. Titanium rings are ideal for people who work with their hands, who may find that other rings are easily damaged or have to be removed during the course of their working day. Titanium rings are also hypo-allergenic, so can be worn day in and day out no matter how sensitive you are.
Titanium rings are a fairly new addition to most jewelers’ stores, so you may not have considered them as an option before, but now that you understand their advantages you’ll understand just why it is that more and more people are choosing them. Nothing says ‘forever’ quite like a titanium ring.
