In this third segment of the Weapons of Social Seduction, Dr. Snyder is going to talk about the Echo Technique and the Three Magic Questions. The technique that he will share can be used in any area of life, like business or romance. Dr. Snyder will share how you can use the techniques and how they can definitely change your life. Standout Quotes: · “Human beings move through the world, looking for the person that matches the what they see inside themselves. Subconsciously, they're listening for the person who speaks closest to the way they speak inside themselves. In short, everything about humans is oriented to finding their match.” · “Validation is that feeling of being approved of being acceptable in somebody's world, or acceptable to another human being. One of the things that happen when a person gets their very own language back to them, it signals that the other person is paying attention.” · “Whenever you begin the Three Magic Questions protocol, you always have to stick to open-ended questions. These questions force the person to give you an explanation and opinion or to tell you a story.” Key Takeaways: · Humans are wired to finding the person that matches them. At every moment, our neurology is sending out messages to other people. When that message reflects or matches the internal checklist of another person, then the deeper they fall into attraction and rapport. · When a person's language is reflected back at them, they will feel a sense of validation. Triggering the feeling of validation makes the person pay attention to you more. They feel validated because they get attention at a level that most people don't get paid attention to. · Remember to use open-ended questions whenever you are doing the Three Magic Questions. If you ask a question that can be answered with a yes or no, you're not doing three magic questions because there's no place to go from that answer. So you have to always ask open-ended questions.

How to Write a Proposal – Pricing The best advice that we can give to you is to be as competitive on your pricing as possible.  There are too many ways to price a product or service.  I am not going to provide you with a ton of insight into this, but I will provide sound guidance.  I can tell you that the old stories of the government buying toilet seats for $200 and $300 hammers are simply that – old news.  In today’s age, you had best sharpen your pencils and be as competitive as possible. Next, we will be discussing common pricing factors to consider. Common Pricing Factors Make sure when pricing your product or service that you cover all your costs and protect your profit.  Here are things to consider when determining your price: Pricing History – For pricing information on previous products, you may be able to obtain pricing from Block 10 of FS Form 33. That is if that form was used.  If not, contact your local PTAC and ask them to research for you.  They will be able to provide you with a report for an item. Now on a service, that is a lot more difficult.  You will have to get ahold of the contract number and request the contract, along with the statement of work.  Obtaining copies of this information can be accomplished through the Freedom of Information Act. (FOIA).  You may also be able to achieve this research yourself by using USASpending or Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS). ·       Cost Out All Special Requirements The buyer may ask for many costly extras. Look for packaging requirements.  These can be expensive.  Don’t just stick on a percentage of the cost of the item to cover packaging. ·       Quality Requirements – Will any of the certifications and acknowledgments add on extra costs? Spend some time thinking about this.  ·       Factor in Bidding Costs – some offers are rather simple and straightforward, but as the value of the contract increases, more time and labor are usually required. As a rule of thumb, you can estimate that the cost of putting together an offer will run 3% to 4% of the value of the proposed contract. Make sure current finances can handle that cost. ·       Overhead and Profit – Make sure your profit is reasonable. Remember that the bidding process is very competitive.  You are free to figure in as high a profit as you wish, but you must win the contract to enjoy it.  Never bid if it doesn’t make good business sense.  And while making sure that your price covers your overhead costs may seem very basic and obvious, it is the pricing factor that small businesses most often get wrong.  This can be detrimental to your business.  If your cost information is not correct, you can’t accurately bid a contract, be competitive, or make the right decisions for your company. Additionally, I am including some helpful formulas to assist you. Helpful Formulas To help you, we are including some formulates that might help you figure out what your essential costs and profit might be. Product Pricing Formula Material Cost + Labor Costs + Overhead Expenses /# of times produced = Cost per item.     Material Costs: Figure the total cost of the raw materials used to make up a single item, or Divide the material cost of a batch of items, by the number of items produced.     Labor Costs: Figure what you pay to employees to produce the item, whether you have employees. Assign a wage figure even if you are the only one producing the item. Take the weekly salary you pay someone to produce the weekly volume of items and divide it by the number of items.   Overhead Expenses: Rent, Gas, Electricity, Business telephone calls, Cleaning, Insurance, Office Supplies, Postage, Repairs, Maintenance, Delivery and Freight Charges, Packaging, and Shipping Supplies. If you are working from home, calculate a portion of your total rent or mortgage payment, in proportion to your workspace, or assign a reasonable figure. List all overhead expenses items and total them. Divide the total overhead figure by the number of items per month. This will be your overhead per product.   Profit Add an amount to the cost of each item. Check your competition for what they are charging and work accordingly. This establishes your profit margin.  Remember that just because this is a “government” contract does not mean you can add excessive profit.        Add Profit to the Cost per Item for the Total Price per Item.   Service Pricing Formula Hourly Overhead Expense + Hourly Wage + Profit = Total Price per hour. Overhead Expense: Calculate all the costs related to operating your business from home and arrive at a total cost per month. Divide this by the average number of hours worked per month, to obtain your hourly expense. Hourly Wage. Decide on a wage to pay yourself, considering background training and expertise. Compare this to industry averages Hourly Profit: Add a factor to your hourly wage to provide a profit. Margin Check your competition and market demand. I find that the simpler you can make your calculation, using all factor above, will help you come up with some real costs.  Determine Your Costs Why do we say that small businesses tend to get their cost information wrong?  Simply because many, if not most, small businesses don’t know what their overhead costs are. Most small business only uses prime costs to compute their pricing.  Let's find out why is not the best way to compute your costs. Prime Costs Often when pricing your project, businesses will take their prime costs (labor and materials) and mark that figure up by some percentage that they believe is enough to cover all indirect costs and give them some profit.  Or they will use a single, company-wide rate applied on only one type of bases, such as direct labor hours or engineering hours, for assigning indirect costs to the product or service provided.  In either case, if this estimated percentage is higher than what their overhead is, it affects their ability to be competitive. If their estimate is lower than what their costs are, it affects their ability to be profitable. If your business falls into one of these categories, we strongly recommend that, before you bid on a contract (or on any other project for that matter), you take the time and the steps necessary to determine your actual costs. Activity-Based Costing You might consider using some form of activity-based costing (ABC) to accomplish this.  ABC, in its simplest terms, is a cost management method that allows a business to determine the actual cost associated with each product or service.  With this method yo look at every time and activity in your business associated with putting out your product or service (e.g., heats, lights, administrative help, sending out an invoice, doing payroll, etc.) and then attach a cost to it. In other words, you break your costs down to their least common denominator, so you know what they are. Without knowing your actual costs, you can never be sure where the money is being made or lost, you can’t identify moneymakers and losers (an increase in sales does not necessarily mean an increase in profit), and you can’t make sound strategic decisions and plans for your company. Although ABC is geared toward a large business, a small business can adapt this philosophy and utilize a more simplified form of it.  For more information on ABC, try searching the Internet or check out some of the books on the topic at your local bookstore or online.  Now, I do have a word of caution. Caution Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15 discusses negotiations and costs for contracts of $100,000 or more and looks at allowable and allocable expenses.  If you are going to be submitting proposal over $100,000 either bone up on the FAR in this area or get an accountant who is familiar with government contracting. Conclusion Again, I need to remind you to carefully read the solicitation and make notes on points you don’t understand. Then ask the questions.  Go to the buyer or Point of Contact identified in the contract, the small business specialist at the buying office, or a Procurement Technical Assistance Center.  Please ask someone.  Also, the answers could significantly affect your price and your profit.

For example, a barcode can have Item number and total weight of the package or barcode can have item number and total price of the package. Only one will work on clover devices with Variable Price barcode parser. The solution is in the name.

From Skeptic to Salvation Hello my name is Richard. I have been asked to record the words of my testimony as I read them out at my Baptism in June 2009. Before I read my testimony at my Baptism, I said a short prayer. I shall start by saying the same prayer now. Heavenly Father, Almighty God, please hear my prayer. Please give me now the strength, ability, and most of all, the humility, through your Holy Spirit, to say what I want to read out to this congregation, as you would want me to read and say it Lord. Please allow me to keep control of myself, and my emotions, whilst doing so. I stand humbly before you Lord God, and before your beloved Son, Christ Jesus. Amen. Before I speak out my Testimony to you, I wish to thank "all of you" for coming here this evening. I especially wish to thank the fellowship of Poulner Baptist Chapel ( The Church On The Hill ) for all their prayers, kindness and care shown to me over the past months, of what has been, for me, a difficult time. I praise the Lord for Dave Roberts, for his help and support, and his World Wide connections through Partake Ministries and his wonderful Web-Site. Because of Dave and his Web-Site, I have received, e-mail prayers from Christians all over the world, which have given me great heart and comfort. So much so, that they have made me cry with joy. I think whenever I re-read them they will always do so. It is due and down to Dave Roberts, that I am standing here today being Baptised. I wish to give a special thanks to Jeremy Andrews " Pastor " Jeremy from my previous chapel who, through kindness and no small sacrifice to himself, and to his own Church and Fellowship, has come here this evening to Baptise me with Adam. Thank you my Christian friend Jeremy. As I have said, my name is Richard. I am 62 years of age. For 59 years of my life, I lived with faith " only in myself ".I was at best a Skeptic, at worst an Atheist. I would go right out of my way to test and very strongly argue against anyone I met, who professed to have a faith, in any sort of God. I needed nothing, but my own free will. All my faith was "only" in myself. In 2002 / 2003 my world fell apart. I was left alone to myself. All my lifelong responsibilities disappeared. I became for 2 years a solitary hermit, living in my house, completely alone. It was during this time, alone, that I started to question, :- What my life was about. What was I here for. What was the reason for my being, if there even was one. I wanted, and so needed contact with other people. I needed to talk, to be listened to, and to listen to others. We are not meant to be solitary beings we are social creatures. We so need fellowship with others, like we need food. After over 2 years of self imposed solitary confinement, I was becoming worried about losing my ability to communicate with others. It was back just before Christmas 2005, I received through my door the usual annual programme of all the Churches in my area, listing all their events, over the Christmas period. I decided to systematically visit all of them. Not to seek faith, Oh No', I'm a Skeptic, an Atheist. I just want to have communication with others. I visited most of the local Churches over the coming months, and always found people to speak and listen to, but none of the Churches somehow felt right for me, until I visited " Verwood Road Evangelical Chapel", just up the road from where I live, in Three Legged Cross. Here I felt good, " well better ". I liked the way they did things. It was not a liberal church. It was more leaning towards, a Brethren sort of fellowship, but not too hard line. There was no pomp or high ceremony, no fancy clothes or precious things to see or worship. These were ordinary people, just like me. Over the next 10 months I visited V.R.C. " on and off " at first, maybe once or twice a month and found that I liked it more and more, so I went more and more. By October 2006, I found that I was wanting to go not only every Sunday but twice on Sundays. It was at this time that I seriously decided to the best of my ability, to very fully investigate just what this Christianity was really all about. How could so many intelligent, thinking people, believe in it? For the next 6 months, I lived in the single minded state of total study of the Christian faith. I devoted all of my time to the study of the Bible and many, many books, both for and against the Christian faith. I prayed and prayed so very hard to God to give me a definite sign - a proof that God was out there and not something made-up in my own mind. I was in heartfelt tears, many, many times, asking for some proof, a miracle even, a certain sign, anything, but no sign or proof came. I was God's for the taking, but both He, and my heart, wasn't ready. In late March 2007, something happened to turn me completely off Christianity. I went from very serious " single minded seeking " with all my heart and soul, TO - " This Christianity is certainly not for me ". It is not " at all " important what " event " occurred to cause this absolute turn around. It is only important to understand that it was very strongly driven by " My Own Self Pride ". God knew that it had to be, for Him to use it, to turn this 60 year old Atheist into a Christian. It was during my very powerful, and emotional efforts, to try and take a wrong, and turn it into a right, No matter what the cost, that my eyes were turned back into myself. To see, or to start to see, that all I hated and despised in others, was also, very present in myself. I was no better, than all those that I felt the very strong need to " bring to rights " in my life. It was at this moment in time, of now seeing, just what " I Am ", that my life changed forever. I was born on Easter Friday, Good Friday, the 4th. April. In 2007, Three days after my 60th. Birthday, at exactly 12:32 p.m. lunch-time on Easter Saturday, the 7th. April, I at last discovered, that I was nothing, undeserving of my life, A Sinner that so needed the forgiveness of God. This opened my heart to God, and at that very moment, He Came In. It was at this time, that I understood, for the very first time, the Amazing events of Easter, and that Jesus died for me, that I may have life, and live life, to the full. The next day, Easter Sunday, 2007, I took my first communion with my God. I would now like to say, that I am not a writer, I agree with " Winnie The Pooh Bear ", when he said.:- "Yes' I know all my letters, but my spelling is wobbly. It's good spelling, but it wobbles, and my letters get into the wrong places!" I'm not a poet either. I'm a practical man, an engineer. In the early hours of Easter Monday morning, 2007, at 1:30 a.m. whilst I was sat in my back porch thinking " in a daze " about what had happened to me on Easter Saturday, I picked up a pen and without thinking, wrote out the following poem. It is un-referenced, original and un-edited. It is just as it came down to me, 37 hours after finding my faith. This poem is called :- The Fellowship - ( Revealed ) I don't know where I'm going, I don't know where I've been, I don't know what's in store for me, But God has hold, to let me see. For he will surely show my way, My guide, to lead, to change each day. To give me life, I've never seen, To serve, to try, to make life clean, To hold me close, to let me go, To understand, To love me so. My God is One, with saviour Christ, He gave for me, The Total Price. My heart is found, the Ghost within, Salvation sealed, Forgiven Sin. My past remains, but all washed clean, My future comes, like it's never been. I cannot say the words I feel, Of things that are, to me so real. My sad, sad past, is gone, my futures clean, For with my eyes, new life I've seen. This gift of love, that has been given, Shall remain with me, right through to Heaven.  I believe that this poem was written with God's help. There is nothing good that can come out of me, from my own self, Self. Any good that may come from me, comes through me, from God. So please just Praise the Lord.

When clients view design as an investment, you win. Whether or not a potential client decides to work with you relies heavily on your pitch to them. If they like the presentation but view the cost of hiring you as an expense, they may choose to look for more affordable options. However, if they consider the cost of hiring you as an investment, there's a good chance they'll decide to work with you. Not promoting the investment opportunity is a critical factor that holds so many designers back from charging what they are truly worth. One of the most significant concerns over raising design rates is that clients can get design work done cheaper elsewhere. Yes, it's true, but only for clients who view design as an expense. Something to shop around for the best deal. For clients who see design as an investment, the price isn’t usually an issue. Nurturing an investment mentality in your clients. How can you get clients to view design as an investment? Change how you make your pitch to them, and it will make a difference in your proposal success rate. It all comes down to semantics. When you tell a client their new website will cost them $8000, they hear the price and imagine it as an expense they need to justify. They may feel reluctant to move forward and may want to shop around for a better deal. However, if you explain to a client that by working with you they receive much more than just a website, they receive a strategic partner that focuses on their business success, the same $8000 suddenly becomes an investment in the future of their business. If you can get a client to think about the return they will receive after paying your fee; they will be much more inclined to work with you. The trick is to expand beyond the receivables you are providing the client and explaining what they can accomplish with those receivables. A well-designed logo can bring them better exposure and brand recognition and make them stand out amongst their competition. A well-designed website can generate more traffic, get them a better market share, help them monitor trends and visitors through analytics and increase their conversions. When you explain what the client gets beyond the designs, they are much more inclined to appreciate what you offer them and invest in you. You can even change the wording on your proposals from Total Cost or Total Price to read Total Investment. It’s such a subtle shift, but if it clicks with a potential client, then that client becomes loyal to you. An investment is something people want to do, whereas an expense is something people try to avoid but know it's sometimes inevitable. If you can convince clients you are offering the first one, there’s a good chance they hire you. I've talked in past episodes of Resourceful Designer about building client relationships and how you want them to see you as their strategic partner and not just a design supplier. Clients are much more willing to invest in a partner because they feel like they will get something out of it. What if the client still questions the price? If you present your proposal as an investment and the client still questions your price, you should try explaining it to them in business terms more familiar to them. If a client has a storefront, look at its location. Is it in a busy downtown area? Is it in a shopping centre?  Ask them why did they choose that location instead of opening in a cheaper location on the outskirts of town. If the client runs a service based business and relies on their vehicle for work, ask them why they didn't choose an older model vehicle that would have cost them less money? The reason clients choose premium locations or newer vehicles is that they are thinking of them as investments and not merely an expense. Yes, you could argue that mortgages, leases and loans are expenses according to accounting practices. But they are investments when it comes to the success of the business. Store owners will pay more for a better location because of the exposure it gives them. Service businesses are willing to pay more for their vehicles because of the perception it instils in people who see them. The same should apply to design. Clients can get websites, logos, and marketing material designed cheaper than what you are offering. But if they genuinely want what is best for their business, they should be willing to invest more to get something that will impact their business beyond just the design, and that’s where you come in. To paraphrase author and business leader Michael Hyatt. If a design seem cheap, dated or confusing, potential clients will think the business is cheap, dated or confusing. No business can afford to be percieved this way. The best way to avoid being viewed as cheap, dated or confusing is to hire a professional designer who will work closely with the business to ensure their success. That's where you come in. So if you are not already doing it. Change the way you pitch yourself to clients. Stop telling them how much things will cost them and start telling them how much of an investment hiring you will be. Do your clients know they are investing in their business by hiring you? Let me know your thoughts on this topic by leaving a comment for this episode. Questions of the Week Submit your question to be featured in a future episode of the podcast by visiting the feedback page. This week’s question comes from Ursula How do you approach Project Proposals? I feel like I spend a lot of time and energy on proposals, and I always wonder how much of them I could have prepared ahead of time to make the processes faster for my (potential) clients, and cost effective for me in terms of my time. But I feel like I should be approaching each project with a clean slate so that my proposal is individualized for them. There must be a better way. Can you share your process or other best practices in this area? To find out what I told Ursula you’ll have to listen to the podcast.
