One of my clients (and friends) runs Lowcards.com. He sent me an interesting e-mail about the use of credit cards to pay the IRS. Most of the time you should not do it — but there is one exception…Read On…

Helping the Red Cross
Mar
The Bluegrass Area Chapter of the Red Cross is raising funds and I’ve agreed to help. Their Heroes Campaign is designed to raise about $80,000 and nominate people in the region to be recognized for their heroic efforts.
I’ve agreed to be one of the team captains and raise at least $3,000 by March 24th. This is a request for your help.
If you donate to the cause, I’ll match your donation and you can nominate someone to be a Hero.
I would love to show our local chapter the power of online fundraising. If you choose to donate online, please put my name in the “Comments” box on their form.
Here are the steps to take:
- Decide to help the Red Cross — do you really need to decide to help them?
- Choose how much to donate. I suggest a minimum of $25, but I’d love to see an average online donation of $100.
- Choose your method of donating. This Red Cross page gives you many ways: http://www.redcrosslexky.org/donate.htm
- Just write my name in somewhere on your donation or e-mail me to let me know you donated. You can also use this blog post and comment your amount. I’ll match it.
- After you donate, don’t forget to nominate a Hero using this PDF: http://www.redcrosslexky.org/Heroes%20Nomination.pdf
- Fax the PDF to me at 859-422-8422.
The timeframe is tight — just a month — so let’s get to it!
And of course — all donations are tax deductible!
The thousands of people aided in the area thank you.
I’ve been asked by a few people about my sales proposal template. So, I thought I’d put a short walkthrough of the basic ideas together and post it to the web.
The walkthrough is a ten minute Flash video that shows the Sales Proposal Template (Word Doc) and my commentary.
There is also a YouTube version.
If you’d like me to review your proposal style or upcoming proposal, just send a note or comment here.
If you are in business development, sales, or marketing, I’d love to hear from you on the format and order. This document can always improve.
