I answer my phone - when I worked in the Call Center we had to say "Good XXXXXX, Andy speaking, How may I help you?" imagine saying that over and over again. It kind of sticks with you. It's been a few years now but I've kicked off "How may I help you?" part.
Money I made while in School - While in university I did have a Student Loan (still paying that bugger off) and had a part-time job as a Call Center agent (inbound). *Canada* I also designed websites (outsourced all the work). I just worked on getting new customers, managed the projects to completion and helped create Marketing Plans for my clients (Online and Offline). *Canada* When I was studying the in the States I also made some money as a Part-time Flight instructor. *USA*
Re: Review please - Remember that even only with some mild optimization your pages can do extremely well so long as you do good keyword research to start. Outside of optimization issues, your Web copy should be very focused on the reader and speak to the reader with dialog that focuses on the benefits to them. Try to avoid phrases or terms that are self focused. I refer to this style of writing nearly the same as writing for voice. (similar to how broadcasters write.) I would cut out the introductory lines of copy and get right to what you do, but always focusing your words to the reader using words like: (You can, you will, yours, you're, you can, instead of words like (we, we are, I am, we're, our, ours.) So for example instead of saying: "What we do different, is place your high resolution display ad right onto the surface of the table tops that hundreds of people eat at every day." You might try something like: Would it be useful to you as a local business owner in Nebraska to enjoy enormous local top exposure to thousands of viewers giving your business direct exposure for at least 3 months in a row? or for example... If you are business located in Nebraska, then imagine the potential of everyone in the community and all of the surrounding communities learning about your business around the family dinner table. Then hammer down some bullet point benefits for example: [*]Real world exposure through high resolution display ads [*]Your cost is less than a cent per exposure. [*]Reach literally thousands of prospects throughout Nebraska. [*]Unlike newspaper ads that only give a few seconds of exposure before the page is turned your ad will appear in front of every prospect for a minimum of 30 to 45 minutes guaranteed. [*]A very unique form of advertising that works exceptionally well.

Happy smiling people with the right expression on their face (that of a happy advertiser) make good graphics. Pay attention to the expression in the eyes and have a photo of someone making good eye contact.

Re: Best incentive to offer employees - [quote="Evan":31y2csyt]What's the best incentive to offer employees? Is it more health benefits? More vacation? Health club memberships? Paying for training? Cash / non-cash bonuses & rewards? I'm preparing a new package for my company and would love to get your thoughts! Thank you in advance![/quote:31y2csyt] A tough part of this is that different people have different needs. I used to work at a local hospital and we had great benefits, but there were a number of things I just never used. Is it possible to offer several different options? I'm thinking kind of like a cafeteria style insurance plan where you pick the benefits that you need. The initial planning would be a pain, but that way the employees would each be able to chose the benefits that fill their personal and/or family needs. You could also make a list of the sort of things you are thinking about and send out a survey to get thoughts from your people. See what they need and would respond to. Shri
