BILL'S CORNER

New Form Of Identity Theft Could Be Detrimental To Your Business!

Competitors are buying positions for key words on search engines, such as Google and Overture, sponsoring our trademarks and copyrights.

For example, I did a search on Google for “TTI Assessments” and discovered Extended DISC paying for a sponsored position. In other words every time some one did a search on Google for “TTI Assessments”, Extended DISC would appear as a source.

We have found competitors paying money to have their web site positioned on the top of the page when people are searching for “Target Training International”, “TTI Performance Systems”, “Managing For Success”, “TTI DISC”, and “TTI Profiles”, and etc. What are the odds of a competitor accidentally purchasing some or all of these names?

This is equivalent of someone calling Information to get your phone number and having the phone company give the caller your competitor’s phone number instead of yours.

That same competitor also purchases searches for Caliper and Inscape Publishing.

This is the most unethical marketing I have seen on the Internet.  IF YOU FIND EXTENDED DISC SELLING TO ONE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS, PLEASE NOTIFY TTI.

TO SEE IF SOME ONE IS STEALING YOUR GOOD NAME TO MARKET THEIR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES GO TO WWW.GOOGLE.COM.


ENVIRONMENTAL SALE
We want to clean up the Internet and will have special pricing available to clean up the Internet environment. Any time you find someone using Extended DISC, call for special pricing.

Announcing Workplace Motivators™


An additional PIAV - based report choice!

TTI is pleased to introduce a new report that will exist IN ADDITION to our current TTI Success Insights Collection’s PIAV report: Workplace Motivators! Now you can choose which values-based report to use for different client situations. The Workplace Motivators report is based on the TTI's Motivation Insights™ instrument as is the TTI Success Insights™ PIAV report. The difference between the two is that the Workplace Motivators contains substantially more textual content than the PIAV, and is designed to lead the respondents through action plans and team building activities based on their results.

See a sample of Workplace Motivators on www.ttied.com.

BUSINESS BUILDING WITH INTERNET MARKETING


Every month many distributors ask how to start an Internet Marketing campaign. Below are the steps every distributor will need to follow in order to start an Internet Marketing campaign.

Step One: Website Readiness --- Every page of the website should allow the user to request information from you or to contact you with ease. The request for information form should require as little information as possible to make it easy for the end user. Multiple choice questions are also effective. The website should contain sufficient content.

Step Two: Keyword Research --- Select the keywords you wish to bid for and research the number of times the word is searched for each month. Write a page to two pages of content about the term and create a page for the website. This page should look and operate the same as the other pages on the site. Write a title and description for each keyword.

Step Three: Pay-Per-Click Account --- Select the pay-per-click advertising company you wish to use. Create the account and submit the keywords.

Step Four: Track Your Results!!!!

NEW DISTRIBUTORS


From January through March, we added 102 new distributors to the TTI ranks. We want to take this opportunity to say WELCOME TO TTI, each and every one. We look forward to working with you and helping you succeed! We also have many established distributors who continue to refer new distributors to TTI, and we are grateful for your efforts! To thank you for referring new distributors, we award you our “Tell a Friend” prize of $150.00 to be applied toward your TTI purchases.

A calendar of New TTI Distributor Orientation Teleconference Calls, scheduled twice a month by Denelle Hebets, is available on TTI’s distributor support site at: www.ttied.com. We encourage you to include in this orientation your associates who might be responsible for processing your client’s assessments.

In addition, New IDS User Teleconference Calls are held monthly to get you started using TTI’s Internet Delivery Service™. Mike Pisinski offers these calls, which are also scheduled on www.ttied.com.



ODsurveys Plus™ and TriMetrix™ work together!





TriMetrix™
TTI is continually creating ways for you to sell more business to your clients, and this one is brand new! TTI has created a full listing of survey questions directly related to the 23 TriMetrix categories. Here’s how to use them (below):

When you sell your client a TriMetrix Job Benchmark, and they select a matching candidate based on the TriMetrix Talent Report, you can follow up with several additional services! First, you can generate a personal development plan based on the newly hired person’s full TTI Success Insights™ Management-Staff™ and PIAV reports. Second, you can use the RxCDs from The Brooks Group for coaching material. Third (here’s what’s new!), after they’ve had a few months of on-the-job experience, you can follow up with a CUSTOMIZED 360 SURVEY to gauge their progress in relation to the original job benchmark!

ODsurveys Plus can help you validate the success of your TriMetrix benchmark and win you more business with your satisfied clients.




CERTIFICATIONS
Certifications Since January, 2004, 74 distributors, their staff and clients became certified in DISC and Values. They can now use the professional designation of Certified Professional Behavioral and/or Values Analyst to promote their professional services.

In addition, several distributors attended the two-day trainings for Attribute Index™ and TriMetrix™ certifications.

Differentiate yourself in the professional assessment marketplace and develop more endorsement with your clients. Purchase your DISC and/or Values certification study guides from TTI Customer Service and enroll in one of the monthly trainings offered coast-to-coast by TTI’s Authorized Trainers (listed on www.ttied.com). Begin the process toward your professional certifications!




REMINDERS…


Please remember to let us know who in your office has authorization to place orders or receive information. As you probably have noticed, we are very careful not to give out information unless we can identify a PS number. This is for your protection. So if an associate leaves or you add to your staff, please let us know because if we don’t have that name in our records, we will not give out any product information nor are we able to help with technical support.

Please let Teresa know at teresa@ttiltd.com if you have a new email address to update our records. It is very important to keep your records current. Also, let Teresa know of any credit card changes.
