RealTime Publishing are delighted to announce the release of a Blue Collar Business Novel by author Dr. Jim McCain

Leave a comment

RealTime Publishing author, Dr. Jim McCain, releases a Business Novel called Why Trade Contractors Fail and How to Prevent It.

Limerick, Ireland, Saturday – August 06, 2011 — RealTime Publishing Announces “Why Trade Contractors Fail”, a hands-on practical Business Novel from American Author Dr. Jim McCain.

RealTime Publishing, Inc. has published “Why Trade Contractors Fail” by Dr. Jim McCain, which is the author’s first book. The 6 x 9 Paperback in the Small Business category is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble, Borders for a suggested retail price of $24.95. ‘Why Trade Contractors Fail’ is also available in multiple eBook formats from all the main online retail stores for $6.95. The webpage at store.theebooksale.com was launched simultaneously with the book’s publication.

About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
Cold calling has the best chance of success if you follow these rules:
* Be proud of your appearance. It’s been proven that if you feel unkempt you will project that image over the telephone.
* While telemarketing, talk to your image in a mirror on your desk. Smile. It will come through in your voice.
* Say your piece, then listen and take notes. It is impossible to overcome objections if you don’t hear them. Sometimes prospects do not say they object to something in the telemarketing spiel but they do nevertheless. The astute telemarketer will be able to “hear” an objection without it being stated.
* Be polite, be enthusiastic. Your voice is all you have going for you.
* Remember, you are not selling the company’s products and services, but simply arranging to set sales appointments.
* Many telemarketers give up too readily in their attempts at setting appointments. As I mentioned earlier, it takes a special type of person to handle that kind of rejection. (page 186)

Trade contractors excel at mastery of their specific crafts. The plumber, the electrician, the carpet installer, the home builder…all these and the many other contractors and subcontractors servicing America’s homes and businesses know the technical aspects of their craft inside out.

But their knowledge of business systems often lags. Too many of them fail when it comes to understanding how to manage cash, use telemarketing techniques to get new business, minimize their inventories, and the dozens of other business techniques that spell the difference between success and failure.

Dr. Jim McCain, aka The Business Doctor, has done a great job with his book “Why Trade Contractors Fail and How to Prevent It”, subtitled “A Handbook of Financial, Operations, and Marketing Procedures to Help Trade Contractors Succeed”. It addresses those issues that most Trade Contractors don’t understand. It attacks specific problems that contractors face. Most books addressing this market are too academic and excessively focused on theory. This one is hands-on practical, the way blue collar contractors understand it and like it.

Expertly constructed at 200 pages, “Why Trade Contractors Fail” is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Small Business category. With Global wholesale distribution through Ingram, Barnes & Noble, Baker & Taylor, Books a Million and Borders, and pervasive online availability through RealTime Publishing’s online store TheEbookSale.com, Amazon and elsewhere, “Why Trade Contractors Fail” meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $24.95 and $6.99, respectively.

Additionally, “Why Trade Contractors Fail” can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers from the RealTime wholesale department by emailing buybooks@realtimepublishings.com. To qualify for the maximum trade discount price set by the author, order in quantities of ten or more.
ISBN: 9781849611138 Format: 6 x 9 Paperback SRP: $24.95

Vacation Planning Being Made Easier Thanks To Widespread Web Access

Leave a comment

May 4, 2011 – The internet has long been a key source of information for those who regularly turn to it and these days, as access to the web becomes far more prevalent thanks to the proliferation of mobile devices, it is where people turn for everything having to do with travel and vacations. Due to the rich amount of information on all of the possibilities that travel offers people today, it is easy for even those with little to no prior travel experience to find nearly anything they might need in order to plan and enjoy a trip to all points of the globe. In the United States, many people are finding that this is an excellent way for them to discover new locations that they might not have visited before, both home and abroad. That is definitely making things a great deal easier for them when it comes to being able to get the most out of their experience. Since they are able to hop online and find vacation ideas that do not come from a specific travel agent who is trying to sell them a particular package, they feel that they are getting much higher quality information. In fact, this is now one way that travel industry experts say consumers are finding and planning their own trips.

For those who have a family, this can be a good way to be able to get the opinions of everyone by showing them preview photos and info about possible destinations. That is a good way, say those who champion this style of research, to get everyone on the same page about any particular destination. It is also possible to view videos and other types of featured content about nearly any place on Earth where tourism is offered. This is changing the way that consumers approach their vacations and putting the power in their hands to make much more educated decisions about where they might want to go. From a romantic get away to Europe to a nature hike in a remote rural location in America to an educational expedition to a rain forest locale that teaches about the Earth, the options go on and on for those who are excited about discovering all of their travel options.

If you are thinking about planning a trip yourself, a visit to FunVacationIdeas.com will offer you quite a lot of information to help you make the best possible decision.

KISS Star Gene Simmons’ Therapist On His Issues: ‘Do I Have To Pick Just One?’

Leave a comment

July 26, 2011 – /RTPR/ – Dr. Ann Wexler is a Beverly Hills-based psychologist specializing in couples therapy. She is currently appearing onGene Simmons Family Jewels, where she has been helping theKISS star and his longtime partner Shannon Tweed sort through their relationship troubles. In a new interview with Examiner.com, when asked to identify Simmons’ primary therapy issue Wexler quipped, “Wow. Do I have to pick just one?”

On a more serious note she said, “When I very first met him, I thought, ‘Wow, we really need to break through this rock star persona, this TV persona. We have to break through this and I need to find out who he really is. I need to get to who he really is for us to do real work.’ And it turned out that he really did let me in, but I didn’t know if he was going to.”

Dr. Wexler said that Simmons’ public displays of cockiness are actually a front to cover up insecurities that stem from his father abandoning him when he was a child. “I believe that insecurity has stayed with him his whole life,” she stated. “Even though he’s been so hugely successful, and he’s so talented, he still has this feeling deep inside of having to prove that he’s the man. And I think that’s why he sometimes comes off with an overblown self-confidence.”

The show’s season finale airs Tuesday night, and previews show Simmons finally proposing to Tweed after 28 years of being, as he terms it, “happily unmarried.” Wexler said that despite the hard work she’s done with the couple, the decision whether to stay together or go their separate ways has to come from them. “I don’t have an agenda as a psychologist. It’s not my place to determine whether a couple should stay together or be apart,” she observed. “I work with the couple based on what they each express, what they each need and want, both as individuals and as a couple. ”

Leave a comment

Debut Sci-Fi Novella available at over 1,500 online sources.

Copenhagen, Denmark, Monday – 18 July, 2011 — Everlasting Monday…Part One, the Crown and the Devil is the first book of an eventual series of sci-fi works from dynamic new author Karsten Harder.

The plot, interesting concepts and characters makes this debut 35,000 word sci-fi novella, Everlasting Monday…Part One, the Crown and the Devil, spring to life. Lead character Haran’s everyday existence as a peasant abruptly changes when an alien ship and its occupants crash land by his village. Haran’s mind comes face to face with the alien intelligence of Terach. Haran/Terach’s story and the other interrelated stories in this novella probe the idea of our psyche, virtual identity, their possible coexistence and the dark side of this duality.

Harder shapes his character Terach with intrigue. Terach’s words grip the reader, “For a very long time I had functioned like a machine. And as a machine, every move I made was perfect…Now it was no longer a question of keeping something unpleasant from surfacing. Inside, I felt like a psychotic animal trainer who has to be the master of several ferocious animals while the circus tent itself is on fire.”

Harder, who is fluent in five languages, is a computer hardware and software expert with an interest in good stories and psychology. As an author, Harder said, “I can do social realism, but I like sci-fi because it is a very flexible frame—you can do action, comedy and tragedy within the same story.”

Harder defined his influences in writing Everlasting Monday…Part One, the Crown and the Devil. He said, “When it comes to sci-fi my heroes are people like Frank Herbert and Philip K. Dick. The latter because his books are always exciting. Something is always going on. People find out they are not who they thought they were, they are constantly running away from something—they take strange drugs and go to Mars, and so on …”

Everlasting Monday …Part One, the Crown and the Devil in eBook form, ISBN – 978-1-937520-01-4, was published on July 14, 2011 by First Edition Design eBooks http://www.firsteditiondesignebooks.com based in Sarasota, Florida USA.

Vita Audio Radios Sales Hit Record High at Dougbradyhifi.com

Leave a comment

15 July 2011 – /RTPR/ – Stunning looks, exceptional build quality and an outstanding performance prove a winning combination, with sales of Vita Audio integrated music systems soaring at Dougbradyhifi.com

Beautifully crafted integrated music systems rarely score top marks across the board, but Vita Audio Systems are an exception. The brand was formed in 2006 and rapidly became one of the leading suppliers of D.A.B radios, with fans enamoured with the exceptional sound quality and sleek retro styling of its digital radios and music systems.

“It’s rare to find such a compact music system with such a high technical specification, let alone one that offers an outstanding performance across the board” says Doug Brady Product Manager Stephen Oakes. Ever since the Vita Audio R4i was released online and at the Cheshire store it has been a bestseller, with customers impressed by the power and quality of sound which can come from such a small music system.

The R4i is the most comprehensive music system from the Vita Audio range, offering the full range of digital media options including a slot loading multi format CD player, USB port for playback of music files and iPod dock in addition to the DAB/DAB+/FM tuner which is a standard feature of the full Vita Audio range.

The Vita Audio R4i combines technology more frequently seen in high quality separates than compact music systems. Vita Audio developed its own powerful speaker and amplifier system for the R4i, using custom designed Class A-B amplifiers developed with discrete component technology. The result is crystal clear vocals, impressive bass thanks to an integrated subwoofer, and good separation of stereo in spite of the close proximity of the speakers, and the 80 watt output is more than enough for a small to medium sized room.

The R4i offers impressive sound and maximum functionality; however the Vita Audio R2i is equally well accomplished, and another bestselling Vita Audio model at Doug Brady HiFi. The R2i may not have the output of the R4i; however its 20 watt output is impressive, and features enhanced 3D sound processing and tone equaliser to get a custom sound to suit all tastes.

The R2i is a regular winner of the full complement of stars in industry reviews, and has picked up many “Best Buy” awards for its design and performance. “It may be small but it really packs a punch, and has surprisingly good range and impressive sound for such a compact system” says Oakes. The R2i features two pairs of gold plated phono inputs, clock and alarm functions and an intuitive remote control and rotodial controller for ease of operation.

Both the Vita Audio R2i and R4i are sold in three attractive veneer finishes and sleek retro styling, and their looks and outstanding performance have proved to be a winning combination at Dougbradyhifi.com with Via Audio sales soaring and hitting record highs.

Further details of the award winning range of Vita Audio digital radios and accessories can be found on: http://www.dougbradyhifi.com/s-66-vita-audio.aspx
