Multichannel News Magazine is the weekly in-depth newspaper that covers programming, advertising, marketing, finance, technology and government activities for all levels in the worldwide cable television and telecommunications industries.
In the first five seconds of your first contact with a person or business, a perception forms in your mind: This ‘perception of a difference’ forms without your conscious knowledge or control and affects your relationship with that person or business from that point on. If the perception is positive you may agree to a sales appointment or may walk into the business and perhaps buy something. If the perception is negative, you will avoid further contact and do business with them only if they are the sole source for what you need. This book is the first in a series of three volumes, concerning the power of perceptions in our lives and how they affect our personal and business endeavors. This first volume begins with an illustration of ‘The Business Arch’ showing all the functions that exist in any business operation, as blocks in an arch. Each chapter shows why a weakness in any functional block, weakens, endangers the business as a whole. Trust is the Keystone of the business arch. The book includes true stories written in the first person conversational mode. The result is interesting and easy to read. The book is a powerful learning experience; the learning takes place as you relate to the people and situations in the stories. The stories educate the reader on the practical effect of the perception of a difference on all aspects of business or organizational relationships. You discover the five distinct steps involved in every purchase decision — invaluable information for sellers of all types of products. The importance of the perception of a difference in marketing is clear as you read the chapters on marketing. Twenty-seven questions that must be answered successfully, to qualify a product or service for success in its planned market, are invaluable to anyone in business or starting a business. The chapters on selling, contrast inside sales, (customer visits the salesperson) versus outside sales (salesperson visits the customer). The stories reveal why successful inside salespeople rarely succeed in outside sales, and why those who do succeed in both are often in real estate or similar industries. Sales techniques are shown when used in a story, but they are not emphasized in this book. Practical tools, like time and territory management are presented in an understandable way. Customer Care, education after the sale, is emphasized in each chapter. The experiences of the many people, in the stories, drive home the fact that the care the customer will receive, after the sale, must be demonstrated during the selling process. It is demonstrated in all the little things the sales team does; that though the sales person may be the one most visible, no one sells alone; others are essential to the sale and to customer care afterwards.

Real World Macro, 20th edition, is a lively, thought-provoking supplement to introductory and intermediate macroeconomics textbooks. Real World Macro asks the questions that standard textbooks largely neglect: What’s so great about growth? Is unemployment “natural”? What’s so new about the “New Economy?” Along with covering the basics — monetary and fiscal policy, productivity and investment, inflation and unemployment — Real World Macro includes a chapter on major controversies in macroeconomics, such as the legacy of Keynesianism in the United States and the basics of Marxist economic theory. It also takes a critical look at international trade and finance, covering such topics as the debt crisis and arguments for and against “free trade.” The twentieth edition contains new chapter introductions reviewing the concepts examined in each article, and discussion questions relating them to a standard textbook. While Real World Macro is an excellent supplement to any mainstream text, its articles have also been keyed to David Colander’s popular textbook, Economics, 5th edition, and its macroeconomics “split.” Real World Macro’s readable articles are drawn from the pages of Dollars & Sense, the bimonthly magazine of popular economics. Dollars & Sense also publishes the books Real World Micro, Current Economic Issues, Real World Globalization, Real World Banking, The Environment in Crisis, Introduction to Political Economy, and Unlevel Playing Fields: Understanding Wage Inequality and Discrimination.

Full of proven wisdom and the insight of a veteran investor, this comprehensive guide covers everything novices need to know about real estate, but also offers proven guidance that will help experienced investors stay sharp.Eldred doesn’t offer a quick-and-easy blueprint which wouldn’t work anyway or promise overnight success.

What images come to mind when you think of Las Vegas? Mobsters and showgirls, magicians and tigers, multimillion-dollar poker games and prizefights; towering signboards that light up the night in front of ever more spectacular casino hotels. But real people live here, too–over a million today, two million tomorrow. Greater Las Vegas has long been the fastest growing metropolitan area in America. And almost every aspect of its citizens’ lives is influenced by the almighty power of the gambling industry. A team of fifteen reporters led by David Littlejohn, together with prize winning photo-journalist Eric Gran, studied the “real” Las Vegas–the city beyond the Strip and Downtown–for the better part of a year. They talked to teenagers (whose suicide and dropout rates frighten parents), senior citizens (many of whom spend their days playing bingo and the slots), Mexican immigrants (who build the new houses and clean the hotels), homeless people and angry blacks, as well as local police, active Christians, city officials, and prostitutes. They looked into the local churches, the powerful labor unions, pawn shops, the real estate boom, defiant ranchers to the north, and dire predictions that the city is about to run out of water. Proud Las Vegans claim that theirs is just a friendly southwestern boomtown–”the finest community I have ever lived in,” says Bishop Daniel Walsh, who comes from San Francisco. But their picture of Las Vegas as a vibrant, civic-minded metropolis conflicts with evidence of transiency, rootlessness, political impotence, and social dysfunction. In this close-up investigation of the real lives being led in America’s most tourist-jammed, gambling-driven city, readers will discover a Las Vegas very different from the one they may have seen or imagined.
