Administrative Professionals"(tm) Day, formerly known as Secretary"(tm)s Day, is always on the Wednesday of the last full week in April. This last week in April, Administrative Professionals"(tm) Week, is set aside to recognize the work of clerical employees, such as administrative assistants, receptionists, paralegals, etc. It celebrates the work and growing and diverse contributions these people make in the workplace. This holiday was created in 1952 by the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP) and a consortium of office product manufacturers. Mary Barrett, president of the National Secretaries Association (now called the International Association of Administrative Professionals) and C. King Woodbridge, president of Dictaphone Corporation, were serving on a council charged with addressing a national shortage of skilled office workers that existed at that time. Together with Harry Klemfuss, a public relations account executive at Young & Rubicam, they organized the idea for a secretaries week campaign. Klemfuss recognized the importance and value of the "secretary"? to a company or business. U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Charles Sawyer, proclaimed the first National Secretaries Week to be held June 1 - 7, 1952, with Wednesday, june 4th designated National Secretaries Day. Both Mary Barrett and C. King Woodbridge invited to Washington for the official announcement. The event received widespread publicity. In 1955, the National Secretaries Association changed the date of National Secretaries Week to the last full week of April, with Wednesday being designated National Secretaries Day. The name was changed to Professional Secretaries Week in 1981 when the National Secretaries Association became Professional Secretaries International (PSI). In 1998, PSI changed its name to the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP), to further reflect the ever changing and growing role of the office staff. In the year 2000, the IAAP - official sponsor of the event - announced that the name would change from "Professional Secretaries Day"? to "Administrative Professionals Day"?. The name change was made to keep in step with the changing job titles and expanding responsibilities of today"(tm)s administrative workforce. In the U.S. it is customary to take an administrative professional out to lunch or to send flowers or other small gifts of appreciation. Sending flowers is always a good idea, but there are lots of different ways to do it, and lots of other equally unique gift ideas that can be incorporated into making your administrative professional feel truly appreciated and special for all they do to keep your business running smoothly and efficiently. Sending a beautiful bouquet or a corsage with a heartfelt message of thanks and an invitation to lunch, will be sure to make your administrative professional feel appreciated and special! If you have several people you would like to honor, a corsage or boutonniere for each of them will make them all feel special and recognized. Depending on how well you know your administrative professional, you may be able to choose something that is very individual and unique. If they like to read, a new novel on the best seller list or a magazine subscription along with a bouquet or gift basket filled with things you know they like will make them realize that you have put time and energy into their gift, just as they put so much time and energy into making your business successful. A good florist will have the ability to deliver not only beautiful flowers, but also great gift baskets of all kinds. Gourmet gift baskets can be all fruit, fruit and snacks, chocolate, or even spa gifts filled with lotions, oils, sponges, soaps and all kinds of soothing goodies. They can design an arrangement with flowers and giant cookies or candy bars mixed in it. Another good idea is a giant junk food basket filled with all kinds of snacks for those late afternoon hunger pains! To keep that feeling of being appreciated going, arrange to send a fresh bouquet once a month for the entire year! Have the first one delivered on April 25th with a note that tells your administrative professional they are valuable to you every week of the year and you intend to remind them every month with a new floral arrangement. When you do this with the same florist each month, they will be sure to send something new and unique to match the season and its"(tm) flowers. Not only does your staff feel good, but your office will look good too! No matter how you choose to show your appreciation this Administrative Professionals Day, your florist can be a big help. Stop in and see what they have to offer this year and place your order early for the best selection and service.

Secured option of these loans requires any valuable asset such as home, car or real estate property to be placed as collateral. The collateral provides an assurance that the lenders amount is safe and sound. Based on the equity value of collateral, lenders approve the loan amount. It means an asset with a higher equity value will assist the borrower to fetch a bigger amount. Usually this option is source of bigger amount. Here you can borrow amount in the range of £5000-£75000 with a repayment duration which is equally large. You can conveniently repay the borrowed amount in a period that lasts for 5-25 years.

How To Get Business From Your Email Enquiries
by: Naz Daud
Does your business get a lot of email inquiries? You know the type I mean - where all the information you have of the enquirer is their email address. Isn't it frustrating when you reply to the email and hear nothing back? Then you send a follow up email and still nothing! Finally in desperation you send a third email with your best price and nothing… nada… nil response! You finally give up out of sheer frustration. So how is it possible to turn this type of inquiry into a sale? Don't give up hope yet as I have some possible solutions. Instead of responding with a sales pitch straight why not ask some questions first? Possible questions include: How did you find our company details? When do you need delivery? What number can I reach you on? Who do you currently buy from? Why are you thinking of changing suppliers? How often do you place an order? What are your views on X, Y & Z? Your aim surely has to be to elicit a response and if possible further contact details like a phone number. By responding with a question, you can gauge the level of interest and avoid wasting precious time on "tyre kickers." Try to ask some questions that can not be answered with a straight yes or no. Instead ask leading questions that must get the enquirer thinking. If your standard response is not working why not try the above approach? To get business from an email inquiry you must get the client communicating and if possible talking as soon as possible. This is the only way you are going to achieve results. You also need to build rapport with your potential clients, and instill confidence. They need to be persuaded they are making the right decision. By asking leading questions you are demonstrating that you treat their inquiry with respect. Why not prepare a standard questionnaire to send out to all initial inquiries? If somebody can not be bothered answering some basic questions then it does not make sense wasting any more time on them. Another great idea is to hold a weekly conference call for initial inquiries. Some potential clients might not be ready for a one on one chat but would happily attend a tele-seminar without feeling threatened. Personally I do not like the idea of giving a price based on an email inquiry. If the price is all the buyer is interested in then chances are that you will lose this customer pretty quickly even if you do manage to get their business. If you do give a price by email and it gets rejected then reply "If price is the only issue then why don't you give me a call? We have some great deals but I would rather we talk first before I send you a quote." Have you had an email inquiry recently? How much more successful would you be if you could double your conversion rate? Let the games begin!

Affiliate Marketing Mentors - What Affiliate Marketing Mentors to Follow, and Why?
by Jack Rose
Affiliate marketing has been in the Internet industry for quite sometime now and it is among the most popular tools used by many online entrepreneurs today. It is a great option for those who want to put up an online business quickly and cheaply. However, there is still a large number of the population who knows a little or even nothing about it. And most of the people who have just discovered this business usually assume that they can easily make big bucks out of it. Well, they’re definitely wrong.
To be successful in affiliate marketing business is not an easy task and it will never happen overnight. It’s just like an ongoing assignment where you need to find out and try various advertising strategies and tactics. This may even require you to sign-up with numerous affiliate programs just to determine which merchants performs well.
Another misconception that affiliates have ‘bout this kind of business is that they expect to gain more if they place about 20 affiliated banners on just one niche. Well it will not really work the way you think it would because once your site is flooded with too many banners, it will look like a link farm and visitors won’t be interested and won’t even bother clicking on any of those banners. So if you really want to promote several affiliate programs in your website, make sure that they jive with the theme and topic of the rest of the content on your niche. Bear in mind that three or four affiliated links in your site are enough, depending on the size of the web page.
There are also some who think that if they add affiliate materials to their site, they can receive sales right away. Maybe they just don’t know that affiliate marketing is all about advertising. If there’s no traffic coming to your site, how can you expect to get any sales? Remember that the more you advertise your affiliate link or the site where the affiliate links are placed, the more clickthru’s these links are likely to receive.
If you want to be involved or you’ve already joined an affiliate program, but you have the above misconceptions regarding affiliate marketing, then, you might need a mentor to help you figure out where to start and what to do in order to succeed.
In the dictionary, the word mentor is defined as a wise and trusted teacher or counselor. Usually, these persons are experts in the field they are into. They can give expert advice and guidance as well as supervision to another person. So when we say affiliate marketing mentors, they are experienced counselors that have made affiliate marketing their specialty. Affiliate marketing mentors can be those persons that have already been successful in affiliate marketing and are always willing to share their experienced-based knowledge from the viewpoint of both the affiliates and the web merchants. And that’s the reason why we come up with this page. It is aimed to give you the stuffs that affiliate mentors should possess and follow and why do they need these things.
Of course, it is good for an affiliate marketing mentor to know and apply some theories and generalities regarding your business but there’s nothing more helpful and effective than telling the client what works today and what are the things that could probably work in the future and if the trend changes. As a mentor, you should be one of the sources of knowledge for your client and the first one to teach them on how to generate more affiliate income. You too, need to be knowledgeable and equipped with the keys to success for affiliate marketers as well as for merchants. And you should guide your clients as they try to do the things that can help boost their profit because once they do well in that business, it can be counted as one of your great achievements. This also makes you a successful mentor.
There are some articles on affiliate marketing that says, in order to be triumphant in affiliate marketing business, you need to encompass and develop these traits: persistence, patience and thirst for knowledge. And as a mentor, it is your job to help your clients take in these traits within themselves. Once they’ve already developed the abovementioned character, it’ll be very easy for you to explain to them that attaining success in affiliate marketing requires sweat, blood and of course, hefty time commitment. These traits will also teach them not to give up.
Moreover, before you train your client to be proficient in search engine optimization, link exchanges, email marketing, newsletter marketing, reciprocal exchanges and advertising in forums, you should first become expert on these fields. They will surely find it hard to learn these things alone and without supervision from the one who knows best. So make sure that you are knowledgeable on these things before you accept any invitation to be a mentor. Yes, being a mentor is way harder than succeeding in affiliate marketing but this task is very rewarding especially if your client become victorious. The failure of your client is your failure too so you must do your very best to be able to bring your client on the road to success. Again, it is never an easy task and there’s nothing you can do about it. After all, that’s what affiliate marketing mentors are for.

Affiliate marketing mentors can be those persons that have already been successful in affiliate marketing and are always willing to share their experienced-based knowledge from the viewpoint of both the affiliates and the web merchants. And that’s the reason why we come up with this page. It is aimed to give you the stuffs that affiliate mentors should possess and follow and why do they need these things.
Of course, it is good for an affiliate marketing mentor to know and apply some theories and generalities regarding your business but there’s nothing more helpful and effective than telling the client what works today and what are the things that could probably work in the future and if the trend changes. As a mentor, you should be one of the sources of knowledge for your client and the first one to teach them on how to generate more affiliate income. You too, need to be knowledgeable and equipped with the keys to success for affiliate marketers as well as for merchants. And you should guide your clients as they try to do the things that can help boost their profit because once they do well in that business, it can be counted as one of your great achievements. This also makes you a successful mentor.
There are some articles on affiliate marketing that says, in order to be triumphant in affiliate marketing business, you need to encompass and develop these traits: persistence, patience and thirst for knowledge. And as a mentor, it is your job to help your clients take in these traits within themselves. Once they’ve already developed the abovementioned character, it’ll be very easy for you to explain to them that attaining success in affiliate marketing requires sweat, blood and of course, hefty time commitment. These traits will also teach them not to give up.
Moreover, before you train your client to be proficient in search engine optimization, link exchanges, email marketing, newsletter marketing, reciprocal exchanges and advertising in forums, you should first become expert on these fields. They will surely find it hard to learn these things alone and without supervision from the one who knows best. So make sure that you are knowledgeable on these things before you accept any invitation to be a mentor. Yes, being a mentor is way harder than succeeding in affiliate marketing but this task is very rewarding especially if your client become victorious. The failure of your client is your failure too so you must do your very best to be able to bring your client on the road to success. Again, it is never an easy task and there’s nothing you can do about it. After all, that’s what affiliate marketing mentors are for.
