An Insider's Guide to Refinancing Your Mortgage: Money-Saving Secrets You Need to Know - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Having been in the mortgage business for nearly two decades,I’ve seen mortgage companies come and go. And I’ve seen mort-gage loan programs come and go along with them.Technology has made an impact on the mortgage industry.Mortgage loan approvals used to take several weeks to accom-plish. Now, it’s only a matter of days. Loans are approved usingautomated systems and no longer need human beings makingjudgment calls as to the borrower’s creditworthiness.Since loans are so easy to approve and take very little time tocomplete, the entry-level qualifications for loan officers are verylow. Sure, loan officers have to get licensed in the state wherethey place mortgage loans. But trust me, the licensing procedureis typically nothing more than taking a rudimentary test and get-ting fingerprinted. There are more inexperienced loan officers inthis business than ever before, all trying to get a piece of the‘‘refinance pie.’’Because of the ease of mortgage approvals, interest ratesdon’t have to fall very much in order to make a refinance a rea-sonable proposition. And mortgage companies, in all their glory,can market themselves silly trying to convince you to refinanceyour loan with them. Heck, there are even classes that loan officerscan take to learn how to convince you to refinance your mortgage

How to Study: Discover How Your Personal Learning Style Can Help You Succeed - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: GETTING COMFORTABLE WITH STUDYINGThis book asks a lot of questions to help you learn how to studyeffectively. But there are no “right” or “wrong” answers here. Every questionis designed to help you discover how you learn, and to help you do more ofwhat works for you—whether you’re reading a text, listening to a lecture,writing a paper, or preparing for a test.For example, in order to understand what you’re reading right now,you are doing something that works for you. Maybe you’re reading thisout loud. Or “hearing” your voice in your head as you read this silently.Perhaps you are making pictures on paper. Maybe you’re reading this asyou’re walking. You might be reading all this in an orderly way, making akind of outline in your head as you go along.Each of these ways is a different learning style. And the early chap-ters in this book focus on helping you find your own learning style. Laterchapters help you work with your learning style so you can use it moreoften. The icons shown to the left stand for the five learning styles you’llfind out about in this book. Once you’ve identified your learning style inChapter 2, “Discovering How You Learn,” you can look in the later chap-ters for the icon that stands for your style to find study tips that will helpyou take advantage of your strength.You’re more comfortable when you’re using your own style becauseyou’re understanding more. And when you’re comfortable, you’re morereceptive—you find it easier to get involved with what you’re studying, asyou’ll see in Chapter 9, “Getting Involved in Learning.” When you’reinvolved with what you’re studying, it doesn’t feel like work; it becomessomething you enjoy.Getting satisfaction from what you’re studying requires carefulplanning. Dividing big jobs into little ones makes overwhelming tasksmore bearable. There’s a chapter in this book on that, too. Sometimespeople can’t pay close attention to their studying because something elseneeds to be done. Spending a few minutes on that other job before studyingwill ease the conscience—thus making studying more productive.Also, some people work best if they work on several things at once.Maybe you’ve heard, “Can’t you just do one thing at a time?” Well, for youperhaps the answer is, “No, I can’t. I work best if I go back and forthbetween two or three projects. If I try to stick to one job at a time, I getdistracted and don’t work well.” Many people work best this way
Playing Bigger Than You Are: How to Sell Big Accounts Even if You're David in a World of Goliaths - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: There was only one thing Bill Brooks loved more than win-ning a big deal: hearing about another salesperson scoring aneven bigger one (unless that person was competing for the samebusiness, of course!).He would have been thrilled to see this, his final work, cometo fruition. Playing Bigger Than You Are: How to Sell Big AccountsEven If You’re a David in a World of Goliaths is a book designedto show you how to win the biggest deals—and why you shouldgo for them—no matter how small your operation is.There are two kinds of Goliaths.First, they’re corporate behemoths (and even govern-ments). A “small” expenditure by a Goliath might make your(or your company’s) decade. But Goliaths are also your largercompetitors—those who have bigger budgets, more staff re-sources, and demonstrated expertise in supplying products orservices for giant corporations.Take heart, all you Davids out there. This book outlinesstrategies and specific techniques that will help Davids—like youand us—gain opportunities with the Goliaths of business. Thisbook is also about holding your own against your most sophisti-cated competitors by playing bigger than you are—and smarterthan they are.Too many small businesses pay attention to the reasons theycan’t make deals. This book forces readers to focus instead on theixx PREFACEmany reasons major corporations prefer smaller vendors and howto take advantage of this preference.Everything in this book comes from experience. The BrooksGroup is a small business by virtually any definition. By em-ploying the ideas in this book, we’ve become the sales trainingprovider of choice for many Goliaths. And we’ve beaten the Go-liaths of our industry at the sales and sales management traininggame, time and time again.How do you know if you’re ready to sell to Goliaths? Theanswer to this question is in the first chapter of this book. You’llalso learn why small businesses are uniquely qualified to sell togiants and find out not only which giants are the right ones topursue but also where to find them.Once you know whom you’re pursuing, you need to knowhow they buy. Large corporations and government agencies oftenhave complex and mysterious purchasing processes. This bookdiscusses how corporate buyers make purchasing decisions andthen turns to the topics of making successful sales presentationsand eventually building on your successes.If you’re like many salespeople, you’re preventing yourselffrom winning businآیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
