    Your Advertising Will Be 5 Times More Profitable If It Has This
    What is the one thing that 90% of all print ads lack? A HEADLINE.When you read the newspaper, would you read an article without a headline? No. The headline gives you a “shorthand” for what the article is about. The Headline is what lets us know if we want to read the article.It’s the same with your advertisement. The Headline tells the reader “HEY! This concerns you! Read this!”Most ads fail to generate a profit. Here’s one major reason; The reader never read the ad. Why? There is no Headline to tell the reader why they should read the rest of the ad. The headline tell the r
    Discovering and owning a powerful word that reflects you and your business is the true key of successful branding.

    Some organisations invest fortunes in this endeavour but there's nothing stopping any of us from doing the same at a fraction of the cost.

    Today I'll introduce you to a simple, low-cost, branding process that will magnetise your business without breaking the bank.

    Our discovery begins by answering three simple questions:

    * What Are You Like?

    * What Do You Do?

    * How Do You Do The Things You Do?

    So let's begin...

    STEP #1 - What Are You Like?

    Understanding your names (or nouns) can really help to trigger your imagination. If I were to ask what you'd be if you were an animal, you'd feel a certain affinity with a particular animal and quickly be able to answer... Monkey, Cat, Tiger, Lion, Bird, Fish, Dolphin etc.

    If asked for your profession you'd say one or more of the following... Coach, Therapist, Consultant, Teacher, Chef, Speaker, Author, Trainer etc.

    If I asked you what you'd be if you were a car you might think... Ferrari, Rover, Mini, Porsche, Maserati, Lexus, Rolls-Royce, BMW etc.

    If I asked for your role you might say things like... Man, Woman, Leader, Supporter, Parent, Carer, Entrepreneur, Explorer, Protector, Guardian, Helper etc.

    If I asked what thing you sold you might say... Comfort, Books, Time, Inspiration, Words, Tools, Skills etc.

    Brainstorm as many of these nouns as you can - it's good to have more than one for each category. This process will trigger all sorts of other ideas to help you to realise your unique coaching name.

    Medical Billing - GP0 Record Fields 1 Through 7
    In addition to enteral nutrition claims for medical billing, there are also claims that fall under the category of parenteral nutrition. These claims are sent using GP0 records instead of GE0 records. The first question that many people ask is what the difference is between enteral nutrition and parental nutrition. So before we go into the GP0 CMN in detail, a brief explanation of the differences between the two is probably in order.Enteral nutrition is where the feeding of the patient is done through feeding tubes. The food still goes through the patient's digestive system, including the

    Successful Business Relationships
    Successful business relationships are based on Value, Competence, Trust, and Propriety.ValueValue: The customer’s perception of your worth, excellence, usefulness, or importance. Value addresses the customer’s question, “What can this person or company do for me?”Value can be articulated by explicitly answering these questions throughout the sales cycle:• How much? (what the customer can expect to gain by doing business with you — in increased sales, lower costs, etc.)• How soon? (when the customer will be able to receive the value)• How sure? (proof that

    * Leaders... lead, inspire, persuade, encourage

    * Chefs... cook, create, nourish, feed etc

    You'll notice a pattern here, you'll have created a big list of doing words (or verbs).

    Time To Write...

    Go through your lists and play word association by answering the question... "What does an XYZ do?" for each one.

    STEP #3 - How Do You Do The Things You Do?

    Once you've got a good list of names and doing words it's time to add spice to the mix...

    As the song goes, "T'Ain't What You Do It's The Way That Cha Do It"

    Discovering how you do something will give your brand a lot more clout than just knowing what you are and what you do.

    We use adjectives to describe how we do something, how we compare to others, what makes us unique or what makes us easy to identify. For example...

    A Tiger is... big, bold, fast, fearsome, stealthy

    This is good, but it's not all, you can go further by adding adverbs if you're struggling by linking a noun with it's verb to see what happens. Here's another example...

    A Tiger Leaps... stealthily, quickly, decisively, smoothly

    You can take the "ly" ending off most words to create more appropriate adjectives for your brand. So in this case you'd have a list of words as follows: stealthy, quick, decisive and smooth.

    Time To Write...

    How do people describe you and what you do?

    How would you like people to describe you?

    What sets you apart as different? (think about your appearance, voice, manner, style etc)

    How do you do what you do? (are you slow and methodical? fast-paced and energetic?)

    Now, do the same for your list of animals, cars, roles, famous figures etc until you have a really big and full list of wor
