Here's the tip for July. Make sure that all of your accounts are being reported correctly. To clarify this I mean all your CREDIT LIMITS are being reported.Some times there is a system error that reports your CREDIT LIMIT as the HIGH LIMIT.. When this happens you loose points...This is one of the things I see happening on alot of accounts.. This is also a reason WHY your scores may be different. Although, different accounts are reported DIFFERENTLY to separate credit bureaus..your AVAILABLE CREDIT may not be reported correctly. This affects your credit score and many people are not WATCHING the actions of these companies and the credit bureaus..Get in the game of credit and get the book Innocent Victims. God has blessed me with this research and knowledge and I want to give it to you. Be ready to resposition yourself for better loan products.. Stop being the VICTIM of unknown information as it relates to your CREDIT..Author of Innocent Victims in stores NOW at Barnes and Nobles. Invest in your future and your childrens future. Early education and Prevention is the key to success with life challenges.www.creditadviseforyou.ning.com

Greetings everyone,Constantly asked, "How do you market for attorneys?" My cookie cutter answer is, "I grassroots market by using direct mail and community marketing." Now the cookie cutter answer is not working anymore.I practice guerrilla marketing strategies to make the phones ring for law firms that need it the most. Lucrative firms use a few guerrilla marketing strategies, however they are financially stable to market the "RIGHT" way. Which I whole heartedly agree is the best way in the correct circumstances.The heart of Guerrilla Marketing is fighting to protect a way of life. Everyone is quick to share with you the right way to market business for law firms, however when there are bill collectors knocking on an attorneys professional and personal life it is time to look for alternatives to traditional or the right way to market. Keep in mind, law offices have staff employees and their way of life is also in question.Law firms are businesses just as others. They flourish, have rocky times or close. The bottom line is do you give up or throw that Hail Mary pass? When I am contracted, I understand what is at stake.There are rules of advertising that attorneys must abide in marketing clients. I know them like the back of my hand. I explore alternatives marketing to people who are need of legal services, that have not been used, that are within the realm of those rules.Along with being a legal marketing virtual assistant, I am a strategist. For example, for direct mail startegies, names from various county and city jails are collected and then mailed. There were about 5 of us from different firms that showed up like clock work to view and write down the names from the jail docket book. This is a log of all people who have been arrested. That means that there were 4 to 5 letters hitting those mail boxes at the same time. I needed those names first, remember I am protecting a way of life, I wrote a letter to the Sheriff asking if the firm could get a print out of the jail docket after 3:00 daily at a cost that he deemed appropriate for paper, ink, and the time of his staff.Notice the time frame. In this jail, the book was put out at 10:00am daily and taken by 2:00pm that means that we were not getting some names until the next day. The sheriff agreed to twice a week after 3:00 at 25.00 a docket, that was 50.00 weekly. This freed me to capture the names from the city jails. Not everyone arrested made it to the county jail. It took the other firms almost 3 months to catch on. For three months we had that area on lock down. I also doubled back to jails after 5:00 and included those names in the days mailing. What time do most offices close? I dropped the mail at the main branch at the post office dock because we were usually past the regular time.My services are not long-term, once the firm or attorney's quality of life is secured, I take my leave. Usually six to eight months. During this time I spend one on one time with each staff member sharing instruction of management of client-relations. The attorney must be walled in by a trained staff to realistically and suceessfully keep up this pace. A trained staff is key when marketing in this manner.I agree with marketing the right way, however there are instances when it is appropriate to throw that Hail Mary pass.It is Always a Blessing to Share, Dream a World!Lisa Henry, "A Real Guerrilla Marketer"www.SweeThorn.comRead more…
It seems everywhere I turn news about the economy is sounding gloomier than ever and as business women, we can't help but worry and wonder how this will impact our business. While many consumers are tightening up their wallets and spending less they are also still purchasing much needed services and products.There are many small businesses that have been impacted by the economy and some have even gone out of business. However, we must not allow ourselves to use the economy as an excuse by assuming customers will not want our products or services. Instead, we must develop a strategic plan to handle the challenge and keep the faith that our businesses can and will survive. Below are some survival techniques that can help you:Evaluate Your BusinessKnowing how your business is performing is the first step in determining how you can improve. Take a look at your balance sheets and cash flow (you have been practicing good bookkeeping right?) to determine what products or services have not been selling; look at the number of repeat customers you have, determine what customers have stopped using your products/services, number of customers you need on a monthly basis and what discount percentage you could give your customers. (Note: 10% doesn't mean very much these days. It needs to be more)Survey Your Current CustomersWhen is the last time you've developed a survey to determine what your customers are thinking about your products/services? Going straight to the source that can make or break your business is vital. Ask your customers what products/services they would like to see or how you could improve for them.Research, Research, Research!Researching your business to determine new trends and techniques your competitors are using is a reliable way monitor how your industry is doing overall. By researching you can learn new marketing methods that might work for your business, eliminate products/services that consumers are not wanting and add products/services that they are seeking. You will also be able to determine if your prices are competitive, but attractive to your target customer.Offer Special Pricing or DiscountsPerhaps you've seen "economy specials" at hair salons, retail stores and elsewhere and it's working for many of small businesses! While you don't want to sell yourself short, consider lowering your service fees or providing special discounts on your products for a period of time. Start by rewarding loyal customers who continue to order your products or use your services. This lets them know that you are sensitive to the times and care about them.Stay "Sticky" to Your Customers!How are you staying in touch with your customers? Building a solid business relationship with your customers is important, because it helps to develop familiarity in their minds with you and your products/services. Ways to do this include: monthly postcards, e-newsletters, printed bulletins, birthday cards with special coupons, coupon mailers and more. The important thing is to develop a consistent strategy to stay in front of your customers and keep them informed.Many of the survival techniques listed are really common business practices that should be implemented consistently. Oftentimes as businesswomen, we forget to stay consistent and allow things to fall by the wayside. So, let this article be a motivator for you to get in gear and get started with developing a strategy that will not only survive the economy, but grow your business with a steady flow of loyal customers!About the Writer:Trina Newby is founder of Women About Biz an online small business education and connection network just for business women.

It is up to you to receive the information. I will debate credit any day to any one, however I am not here to prove a point. I am giving you knowledge to help you. Many of us pray and ask God to bless us and yet we don't know a blessing when we see one..With that said, if you are a credit card holder with Carnival Seamiles, Juniper, or Barclays. This information is for you. If you are not and have received something similar in the mail by another company, you might want to take HEED.The companies that make money and get rich off consumers are figuring out ways to do it, even in times of crisis. I recently received another letter from the company above regarding the CHANGE in terms of my account. This may or may not have had anything to do with the current behavior of my account..However, when you get information/disclosures in the mail READ the information. Companies must send it to you by law. I have a similar blog about this you may want to read that as well.I won't explain this in percent form because many people may not understand. My form of writing is a simplified version due to the nature and how important it is. Here goes...If you are being charge 40.00 a month for a card and the company writes you and inform you that the card will now be 100.00 a month.. What are you going to do? Are you going to pay them the 40.00 or 100.00? Another other words, your interest rate could be 10% and jumps to 29%.The letter states that I have the option to accept the higher amount(so they can make money off me) or close the account.. I have chosen to close it... Just think about it for minute.. If everyone decided to close their account in one day. That company would go out of business. Consumers are not standing together. Instead, fighting against each other, just as some families do.NOW there is a catch and you will find this in my book. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO CLOSE CREDIT CARDS.. the reason is because you will loose points on that card.. When you know the game of credit you can reposition your self. Just as I am about to do. I am going to close the account because it is costing me way to much money.. the card is bad for me and will cost me.On the flip side, I am going to get my points back from another lender....YOU win some and loose some. GET IN THE GAME...Now Read INNOCENT VICTIMS of credit and get educated and play the game..

Let me start off by saying that this is not an easy task. If you don't work hard you won't get results. There is no such thing as an overnight success; so don't believe the ads that tell you I made over $40,000 in one day. The question you should ask them is; how long did it take before you made over $40,000 in one day? It's all about advertising and getting people to buy the product. We live in a "must have it now" society and these advertisers know this.I say all this to say don't give up because you tried something and didn't make money as soon as you hoped. Just be patient and it will happen for you. When you do the right thing you will see results. The results may not be when you want them but when the time is right. I believe we have to put in every ounce of sweat into our business to appreciate the success. So don't worry keep working and you will get there.
