Education pays. Not only will you earn more, you'll also be less vulnerable to rising unemployment. And you don't need a Bachelor's or Master's Degree to up your ante. According to BLS , in 2008, workers over 25 with a 2-year Associate's Degree earned, on average, $736 a week. Compare that to high school graduates, who made just $591. The unemployment rate for this group is also 2% higher - a very significant gap when it comes to unemployment figures. A 2-year degree - either online or on site - will put you on your way to a rewarding career as one of the following: Inside Sales Consultant Inside Sales Consultants work to maximize the sales and increase customer retention for large companies whose business is driven by independent agents.

Question: Hello everyone! Recently I experienced a customer that for the first time in my, well lets just say MANY years of sales, that I honestly have an opportunity in seeing this particular client as being "right"! We all know the rules! 1) The customer is ALWAYS right. 2) When the cutomer is wrong, see rule 1. Well folks, IS a customer EVER wrong? I look at problems as opportunites, so I've never had an issue with this before. First time for everything I guess! I would like to know if anyone else has questioned this rule, what makes an exception (IF there is one) and how they handled it and themselves! Thank you! Answer: My father owned a plumbing supply house with a showroom for the public. He worked with contractors. Plumbing contractors and builder had the opportunity to send their clients to him and he would up sell their jobs for them. This was my first job. I was 14 at the time and worked there until I was 18. I do think most of those who read my posts and for...

Despite signs that the real estate market is bottoming out, millions of homeowners are likely to find themselves in worse shape within the next two years. Nearly half of the nation's 52 million mortgage borrowers will have negative equity by the end of the first quarter of 2011, up from the 14 million at the end of this year's first quarter, according to estimates in an Aug. 5 report by Deutsche Bank. With so many borrowers underwater - or owing more on their home than it's worth - the risk is high that they'll default and their homes will go into foreclosure, says Mark Zandi, the chief economist at Moody's Economy.com. (Moody's Economy.com estimates that 17.5 million mortgage borrowers will be underwater by early 2010.) Negative equity is the product of several factors. The most significant weight is the broad and persistent decline in home values. A Zillow.com index of home values fell 12.1% year-over-year during the second quarter, resulting in a total drop o...

If you've recently listed your home for sale , you should already have painted, cleared clutter from indoors and outdoors, and replaced any broken items that could detract from its appearance and value. So if the phone rings and your realtor needs to show the home today, you think you're ready to go. But you need to stay organized and pay attention to detail in order to give your home every possible advantage of selling in this buyer's market. Everyday Organizing and Last Minute Primping It's not easy to live in a house that can be shown at a moment's notice. Things will go much smoother for a last minute showing if you and your family are in the habit of making their beds everyday, picking up dirty clothes and toys and wiping down the shower. But if some things got out of order, go through the house right before the showing tossing items into a laundry bin that you can pop into the trunk of your car. Strive to keep your countertops and table tops free from mail, ne...

If You Make Over $100,000 How Can You Keep Your Money? The argument can be heard all the time. The IRS and the government tax everybody else and collect more money from the poor than they do from the rich. The rich are forever applying tax loopholes so that they do not have to pay any taxes. They are getting away with criminal practice! Over the years, the system has been abused. Tax professionals can indeed determine loopholes to let people pay minimal taxes. Only people earning more than $100,000 yearly can afford them, however. There's a difference between taking advantage of a loophole and acting illegally. If you want to pay less taxes while keeping the IRS away or staying out of jail, there are various steps you must avoid and various steps you can do. A great idea is to try to reduce your exposure as much as possible. Nearly 60% of the taxes are paid by people who are making more than $100,000 yearly. This is where the IRS exerts a considerable amount of effort. In correlati...

Reprint from: http://www.AgentsSalesJournal.com August 2009 - Prospecting Corner Written by Marilee Driscoll Would you allow someone else to control the lease on your office space, your business phone number, or the renewal of your insurance license? Of course not! Being a business owner means having the responsibility to control and deploy assets that are important to your practice. And these days, your email addresses and Web site domains can be just as important to your business as a phone line. The way that you have purchased or leased these online assets may leave you vulnerable to a variety of avoidable risks. While setting up your online presence, make sure you are prepared for any later issues by avoiding two serious mistakes when it comes to establishing your Web address, your page design, and more. Mistake #1: Not owning your domain The most important thing you can do is to control your destiny by owning your domain name. The domain name is the part of a URL (uniform resour...
