<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Perris, CA (PRWEB) February 21, 2012 </p>
<p> Mexican Insurance Store, one of today&#8217;s leading Mexican auto insurance online providers, now offers new custom insurance quotes in two minutes or less. The popular online insurance provider, which has been selling top-quality Mexican car insurance policies for almost a decade, is making it even easier for people to find the policies that are right for them. &#8220;Many online Mexican auto insurance providers make people jump through a bunch of hoops to get quotes,&#8221; says Linden Gray, the president of Mexican Insurance Store. &#8220;We strictly ask for information that&#8217;s absolutely necessary, and we return full quotes to our customers in two minutes or less. The process couldn&#8217;t be quicker or easier, and we get compliments on it all the time.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Prices on car insurance for Mexico can vary a great deal from one provider to the next. To get the best deals on this coverage, it&#8217;s important for travelers to collect several online car insurance for Mexico quotes from independently &#8220;A&#8221; rated Mexican auto insurance companies. &#8220;We offer such a great selection of &#8216;A&#8217; Rated Mexican car insurance products that it&#8217;s easier for us to offer lower prices than the competition,&#8221; says one Mexican Insurance Store employee. &#8220;People use our two-minute quote system to get specific information about the coverage they need. In most cases, they are extremely surprised by how low our prices are.&#8221; A link to the quote system appears right on the main page of the Mexican Insurance Store site.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>After receiving a quote from Mexican Insurance Store, customers have the option of placing an order right away. &#8220;We&#8217;ve found that people appreciate being able to just click their way over to the ordering system as well,&#8221; says the employee. &#8220;The quote system is so fast that they are usually able to make a decision within a minute or two. Our prices are lower than most other providers, even with more comprehensive coverage, so that the majority of people who get quotes from us go ahead and place orders, too. It&#8217;s a really smooth, easy process, and we couldn&#8217;t be happier with it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Customers are thrilled by the exceptionally fast and efficient car insurance for Mexico quotes that are available on the Mexican Insurance Store website. &#8220;I bought Mexican car insurance for the first time a few weeks ago,&#8221; says one customer. &#8220;After going through a lot of trouble to get quotes from other providers, I was absolutely thrilled by the speed of the quote system on the Mexican Insurance Store site. I was given a quote in a couple of minutes. The price was so great that I went ahead and placed my order right after that.&#8221; The same comments are echoed by first-time customers and longtime customers alike. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been ordering car insurance for Mexico from Mexican Insurance Store for years,&#8221; says one customer. &#8220;They just keep getting better and better.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In addition to offering two-minute quotes, Mexican Insurance Store makes it easy to place orders as well. &#8220;Our goal is to make the entire process as fast and easy as possible,&#8221; says Gray. &#8220;We know how busy people are, and there&#8217;s really no reason to make the process long, involved or complicated.&#8221; The site also offers a wealth of resources about ordering insurance, finding the right policy and other insurance-related topics. Information about traveling in Mexico is also available through the site&#8217;s blog and article archive. &#8220;We really are the one-stop shop for anyone who is planning a driving trip to Mexico,&#8221; adds Gray.</p>

<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“There’s real money at stake here” says Ben Edelman, Assistant Professor, Harvard Business School. Given the breadth of possible affiliate abuses, “there are typically large savings in catching and ejecting rule-breakers – making more commission available for legitimate affiliates who do their best and follow the rules. Merchants and good affiliates should both be pushing to put an end to this kind of fraud.”</p>

<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">$  99 Down / Guaranteed Financing</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Portsmouth, VA (PRWEB) February 14, 2012 </p>
<p> The economy may not be rebounding quite as fast as Americans would like, but that’s not stopping one local used car dealership in Portsmouth, VA. Prestige Auto Brokers pledges to do what it can to help local consumers.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Prestige Auto Brokers, Inc. of Portsmouth is celebrating its 25th year in business this year, and the company has announced that it will slash down payments on every car on its lot to just $  99 to help area consumers get back on the road.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“This economy has been tough on honest Americans.  Many people have been hit hard, and lots of people are driving vehicles that are no longer safe or that need to be replaced.  We also are seeing an influx of returning servicemen and women, and we’re pleased to be offering them any vehicle on our lot for just $  99 down,” says Ben Mahgerefteh, owner of Prestige Auto Brokers.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Since 1987 Prestige Auto Brokers has specialized in offering high quality used cars for sale to Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Virginia Beach and other residents of the Hampton Roads and surrounding areas.  Mahgerefteh says his inventory includes the most popular imports and domestic models.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“We want to celebrate our family’s success by helping our community.  Today, that means making it easier to purchase a clean, well-maintained automobile that fits with their lifestyle.  We take great pride in finding the best pre-owned cars and offering them to our customers at fair prices,” he said.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Prestige Auto Brokers is a family business, something that is becoming less and less common in the highly competitive car business.  Mahgerefteh says pre-owned cars have become more popular in recent years as gas prices and insurance costs have risen, making automobile ownership more expensive for everyone.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“We’re excited to offer this $  99 down deal to our community”  Mahgerefteh says.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The complete inventory of available cars, trucks, vans and SUVs is available online at http://www.prestigeva.com/index.php.  For more information, stop by the dealership at 4125 Portsmouth Blvd., Portsmouth, VA or call Ben at 757 399 2414.</p>

<p class="releaseDateline">Cardiff, Wales (PRWEB UK) 12 February 2012 </p>
<p> Confused.com, one of the UK&#8217;s biggest and most popular price comparison services, has revealed a short online film featuring former &#8216;Swap Shop&#8217; host Keith Chegwin that it hopes will bring back the spirit of the nostalgic TV show, and get Britons swapping.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Swapping has proved to be a popular activity since the economic downturn kicked in, and 52% of Londoners said in a recent survey that they are more likely to swap unwanted possessions now than they were in the past.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The video has been produced to raise awareness of this, and also to help highlight Confused.com&#8217;s Nectar points promotion, whereby they are giving away 1,000 Nectar points every time a user buys a car insurance policy through their site before the end of March 2012.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>It was filmed in London&#8217;s Victoria train station between 1pm and 3pm on Wednesday 25 January, and its filming created a buzz of activity, as people brought all their unwanted items to exchange for something more useful. A wide range of items were brought, and the &#8216;Swap Store&#8217; event had people swapping items like a scented candle, yoga DVD, alarm clock and even a naked picture of Keith Chegwin for things like 1,000 Nectar points; a blow up palm tree and parrot; a trombone and even an electric car. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Gareth Kloet, head of car insurance at Confused.com said: &#8220;The economic downturn has made us all more careful about what we spend and become savvier. We wanted &#8216;Swap Store&#8217; to be an enjoyable event aimed at encouraging people to swap unwanted items and also to highlight that Confused.com are giving away 1,000 Nectar Points to every customer that buys car insurance through the site. Car insurance is a necessity so at Confused.com we want to give our customers a great deal on their insurance and a little extra at the same time.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;</p>

<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">Kauzu wins the &#8220;Born Global&#8221; Award at The Gigabit Challenge Finale.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 07, 2012 </p>
<p> Kauzu took home the $  250,000 Gramercy Private Equity “Born Global” Award at the recent Gigabit Challenge Finale event in Kansas City, Missouri.  The Gigabit Challenge is a global business plan competition that was created “to find disruptive ideas that will turn the tech industry upside-down,” according to event organizers.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“Winning the Gramercy &#8216;Born Global&#8217; Award provides further validation that our idea is on target and that our solution will address the needs of job seekers and employers globally,&#8221; said Kauzu founder and CEO Mitch Schneider. “Without a job, it is hard to survive both financially and emotionally.  We want to give greater power and access to front line job seekers through a solution that is far more effective than the alternatives currently available.  We also will create value and opportunities to improve the hiring process for employers.”</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“Kauzu is developing a holistic employment tool that meets the needs of everyone involved.  That is true empowerment,” said Schneider.  “Kauzu’s solution also addresses the reality that the resume is dead.”</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The Gramercy Private Equity “Born Global” Award was presented to the Gigabit Challenge Finalist whose business plan best demonstrates the potential to go global rapidly.  The prize was offered in the form of a $  250,000 convertible promissory note.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“We are very pleased to support Kauzu in their mission as their first external investor,” said Michael Gale, CEO and Managing Partner of Gramercy Private Equity.  “We were impressed not only with their opportunity and business strategy, but also with their ability to effectively bootstrap a lean startup.  We felt that the Kauzu team has the best prospects of executing on their plan.  We look forward to working with them to make their global expansion a success.”</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“While we are proud of Kansas City, we recognize that the best ideas can come from anywhere in the world,” said Herb Sih, co-founder of Think Big Partners, organizer of The Gigabit Challenge.  “Our goal was to find the most promising, commercially viable business ideas to take advantage of the ultra-high-speed Google Fiber network.  We would like to congratulate Kauzu on winning the &#8216;Born Global&#8217; Award.”</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The Gigabit Challenge Finale, which took place on January 18, 2012 at the Kansas City Public Library, focused on finding unique applications that would be enabled by Google’s first-in-the-nation 1-Gigabit Fiber network.  Individuals, teams or businesses with an idea were invited to enter the competition for a chance to work on the Google Fiber network and present their plan to a panel of esteemed judges.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The Gigabit Challenge attracted 113 contestants from seven countries and 22 states.  Seventeen finalists pitched their ideas to seventeen judges at The Gigabit Challenge Finale.  </p>

<p class="releaseDateline">Santa Cruz, CA (PRWEB) February 02, 2012 </p>
<p> Finding cheap auto insurance becomes more than just a good idea, but an essential part of a modern budget. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>This is why the Cheapest Auto Insurance Network is extending their 20% discount on auto policies &#8211; originally launched as a special incentive during the 2011 holiday season &#8211; through the month of February. Call it super savings in celebration of the Superbowl, or just a Valentine to American motorists, either way it&#8217;s a fantastic deal from a company dedicated to helping all drivers save money on car insurance.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Found online at cheapestautoinsurance.net, the Cheapest Auto Insurance Network offers far more than just free quotes for cheap auto insurance.

<p class="releaseDateline">New York, NY (PRWEB) February 05, 2012 </p>
<p> SoRichIam Media celebrates Black History Month by extending four weeks of a &#8220;Wealth of Knowledge&#8221;. The company says African Americans have made a vast number of contributions to American society many of which we take for granted such as the inventions of the traffic light  and ironing board. They say it&#8217;s innovation that drives an economy and the United States is comprised of some of the most celebrated multi cultural innovators in the world. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>SoRichIam Media (http://SoRichIam.com) encourages youth of all backgrounds to create a debt free life and build a million dollar nest egg. They say social security and pensions may not be an option for many of today&#8217;s youth when they retire. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>They say many urban communities don&#8217;t receive as many financial education resources and opportunities as their suburban counter parts. Urbanites tend to receive more beer and fast food ads than opportunities to transcend to a better quality of life with integrity says a SoRichIam rep.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Four weeks of a &#8220;Wealth of Knowledge&#8221; may just be the beginning. But it&#8217;s a beginning for many who otherwise would not have it.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>They say many urban youth don&#8217;t even see themselves reflected as heroes in their History classes. Often times, they only see themselves depicted as slaves in the world&#8217;s history books. Many of them have heard of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, but they have not heard of Frederick Douglas, Sojourner Truth or Harriet Tubman says SoRichIam Media. They were American patriots too and deserve to be mentioned in our history books. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Four weeks of a &#8220;Wealth of Knowledge&#8221;, will include free reports on how to create good credit, how to create business credit, how to succeed in the multi-trillion dollar Forex market, and 50 days of prosperity using biblical methods [estimated value $  3,500]. The goal is just to open the gateway to prosperous thinking. SoRichIam Media says people must see themselves as wealth giants on the inside before the evidence is made manifest on the outside.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>SoRichIam Media says, when more people see they have options, they tend to make better choices and a desire to discover their purpose. When people know their purpose, they tend to make more positive contributions to society. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>SoRichIam Media says they hope more people will be encouraged to create a super debt free life early and discover their purpose. They say they hope this will open the minds of potential innovators and the ability to access resources to bring their innovations to fruition. After all, innovation is what helped make America great. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In order to participate in SoRichIam&#8217;s &#8220;Wealth of Knowledge&#8221;, participants will need to obtain the Millionaire I Am audio CD and will receive the first wealth report upon delivery confirmation. The remaining three reports will follow. SoRichIam Media reserves the right to change the wealth reports they provide at any time. </p>

<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">How to recruit, train and manage new salespeople</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) February 04, 2012 </p>
<p> Jeremy Skogquist of NIH Homes, a home builder in Minneapolis, recently needed to hire a new salesperson. He thought with the current economy and unemployment he&#8217;d have a plethora of great candidates to choose from. He was wrong.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;I reviewed nearly 100 resumes and had trouble finding 6 candidates I&#8217;d consider,&#8221; Skogquist recently commented.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>It seems with all the negative news towards the home building industry many qualified candidates are steering clear of this career path. This became clear to Skogquist as he reviewed resumes.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;I wasn&#8217;t looking for someone with experience in new home sales. On the contrary, I wanted someone with a background in sales outside of the industry that we could train in our system,&#8221; said Skogquist.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Skogquist turned to Rick Storlie of New Home Sales Coach for assistance. Storlie has put together a three step process for recruiting, training and managing new home and remodeling salespeople.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;I see a lot of builders who limit the growth of their company by not hiring a salesperson or keeping the wrong salespeople around too long. They&#8217;re not sure how to find, compensate, train or manage salespeople,&#8221; said Storlie.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Storlie&#8217;s system begins with an online recruiting process that removes unqualified candidates through a series of filters. By the time a builder sits down for an interview, they only need to talk with the top 2-3 candidates and don&#8217;t waste their time with others not suited for the position.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;You never want to post an ad in a newspaper because any candidate looking in the paper isn&#8217;t in tune with how new home and remodeling prospects shop, which is online,&#8221; said Storlie. &#8220;It&#8217;s also incredibly important you never sell the candidate on the job. They need to sell you and there&#8217;s a specific process we walk them through to prove their skill set.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The second part of Storlie&#8217;s system is introductory sales training. It&#8217;s designed to be completed in the first 60 days a candidate is hired.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;I designed an initial 16 part home builder sales training and 9 part remodeler sales training course that is accessible online 24/7. The new hire can access video training tutorials along with sample scripts to complete the training. They have to prove to the builder a thorough understanding of the sales process through written answers and role play demonstrations,&#8221; Storlie commented.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Finally, Storlie designed a process for managing the daily activities of salespeople. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;The mistake builders make is using a sale, or lack thereof, as the only metric for management. The right activities will create the next sale. The key is to measure those activities and build a support system around them,&#8221; Storlie remarked.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Storlie makes an interesting point on firing a salesperson. He claims that if the proper expectations are established and measured a builder never has to fire a salesperson. Rather, the salesperson will &#8220;un-hire&#8221; themselves when they fail to meet expectations.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;Managing salespeople is all about directing energy. When you direct energy towards sales-generating activities and measure them weekly, you&#8217;ll have successful salespeople,&#8221; said Storlie.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Storlie has documented this recruiting, training and management process into his Game Day Coaching membership website. Any builder can try Game Day Coaching for 6 days at no cost.</p>
