Alquist have added a new, very affordable service in my Alquist Enterprises consulting practice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much of my consulting is priced traditionally. I estimate a project fee and&lt;br /&gt;establish a payment schedule for the client. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Users of consultants are familiar with this arrangement. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the rise of self-employment brings us many new people seeking various&lt;br /&gt;kinds of professional assistance.  They need a different kind of consulting and&lt;br /&gt;fee arrangement. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so I have added a specific arrangement for them, as potential clients. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a  $500 fee, I offer a private, two hour phone call.  We can discusss exactly&lt;br /&gt;what the client should consider. Typically, this could be a new business startup,&lt;br /&gt;purchase or sale of an existing business, or perhaps a turnaround for a faltering&lt;br /&gt;business. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the prospective client decides not to move forward, he or she has paid only&lt;br /&gt;$500.  That’s a large saving over plunging into something and possibly failing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, if the prospective client wishes to work with me on his/her&lt;br /&gt;project,  I will determine the professional fee and deduct the $500 he/she has&lt;br /&gt;paid previously. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To learn more about this, please click this link: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tell-it-well.com/business-help-from-john-500-dollars.htm"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please post a comment here, if you wish. What do you think about my&lt;br /&gt;new service.

Alquist have added a new, very affordable service in my Alquist Enterprises consulting practice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much of my consulting is priced traditionally. I estimate a project fee and&lt;br /&gt;establish a payment schedule for the client. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Users of consultants are familiar with this arrangement. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the rise of self-employment brings us many new people seeking various&lt;br /&gt;kinds of professional assistance.  They need a different kind of consulting and&lt;br /&gt;fee arrangement. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so I have added a specific arrangement for them, as potential clients. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a $500 fee, I offer a private, two hour phone call.  We can discusss exactly&lt;br /&gt;what the client should consider. Typically, this could be a new business startup,&lt;br /&gt;purchase or sale of an existing business, or perhaps a turnaround for a faltering&lt;br /&gt;business. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the prospective client decides not to move forward, he or she has paid only&lt;br /&gt;$500. That’s a large saving over plunging into something and possibly failing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, if the prospective client wishes to work with me on his/her&lt;br /&gt;project, I will determine the professional fee and deduct the $500 he/she has&lt;br /&gt;paid previously. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To learn more about this, please click this link: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tell-it-well.com/business-help-from-john-500-dollars.htm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click Here &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please post a comment here, if you wish.

Alquist, Professional Speaker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, an "expert page" has been created. Since 21st Century business people seek experts, our new "expert page" explains why John is an expert in his field. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.tell-it-well.com/expert.htm&gt; Click Here To Go To This Page &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, we have added a page listing the speakers bureaus who work with John in the United States and other nations. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.tell-it-well.com/speakersbureaus.htm&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click Here To Visit This Page&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are pleased that Nashville Speakers Bureau and World Class Speakers have been added.

During the year, of course, I will make additions and minor adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2008, I am continuing with my passion--contrasting the exciting 21st Century business world to that of the previous century. The 21st Century increasingly will be based upon almost total self-employment, Internet business proficiency, globalism. It's necessary to take advantage of these changes rather than be harmed by them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's how I can help you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since most people are unaware of the radically new requirements for success in 21st Century business, I must do all I can to reach people and help them transistion into the 21st Century world of business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My website is &lt;a href="http://www.tell-it-well.com/page15.htm"&gt;http://www.tell-it-well.com/page15.htm&lt;/a&gt; .
